Semua Bab Echoes of Requiem: Bab 11 - Bab 20

The tension in the control room was palpable as Ryder worked frantically at the console, his fingers moving over the keys with precision. Eva stood beside him, her mind still reeling from the revelation about her sister’s role in the Empire’s twisted project. Project Requiem. Lyra was more than just a casualty of war. She was the foundation of the Empire’s most dangerous weapon, and the realization was almost too much to bear.But there was no time to mourn. Not now.“We’ve got seconds,” Ryder muttered, his voice a controlled growl as he attempted to override the security breach. The screens around them flickered, showing distorted images of the manor’s systems, disrupted by the rebels’ infiltration. His brow furrowed in frustration. “If I don’t get this fixed, the rebels will take control of everything. They’ll have access to every operation, every classified file, including your sister’s location.”Eva’s heart pounded in her chest. Her sister. She had to get to her before th

The hallway was thick with tension, the weight of the impending battle hanging heavily in the air. Eva’s heart raced, but her focus was absolute. She could feel the presence of the rebels approaching, their voices growing louder as they closed in on her position. They didn’t know her yet, but they would soon.She stood her ground, her senses alive with the impending chaos. The hallway felt like it was shrinking, the walls closing in as footsteps echoed, the sound of soldiers advancing with purpose. Eva’s grip on her blade tightened, every muscle in her body coiled and ready. She had no illusions about what was about to happen—this would be a fight for her life, and for everything she had fought for so far.She didn’t have to wait long.The first rebel came into view, moving quickly with a blaster drawn. Eva’s body reacted before her mind could catch up. She leapt forward, ducking under his aim and driving her blade into his side with surgical precision. He let out a strangled

The journey away from Coldclaw Manor felt surreal, as if everything had shifted into another reality. The hum of the transport ship, the cool, artificial air inside, and the dim lights casting long shadows across the small interior were a stark contrast to the chaos that had unfolded just hours earlier. Eva sat opposite Ryder, her mind still processing the events that had taken place in the manor, the revelations about her sister, and the unexpected turn her alliance with Ryder had taken.They weren’t just fighting the Empire anymore. They were fighting for the truth, for Lyra, for everything the Empire had kept hidden beneath layers of deception and power.Ryder’s voice broke through her thoughts.“We’re heading to a secure location,” he said, his tone calm but with an edge that spoke of the urgency of their situation. “We can’t risk staying out in the open for long. Not with the rebels still on the hunt, and not with what we’ve just uncovered.”Eva nodded, her eyes lockin

The deep, echoing hum of the Citadel Obsidian’s core systems was unsettling, almost suffocating in its vastness. Eva and Ryder moved through the labyrinthine hallways, their footsteps synchronized with the rhythmic pulse of the facility. The sterile walls of the Citadel seemed to close in on them, amplifying the weight of their mission. The air was cool, filled with the scent of metal and something faintly chemical—something that felt too controlled, too cold.Ryder led the way, his military training evident in every deliberate step he took. Eva, just a few paces behind him, kept her eyes peeled for any sign of danger. She couldn’t afford to let her guard down, not for a second. The security was tight, but this was it—the heart of the Empire’s experiments. It was where they would either succeed in destroying Project Requiem or die trying.They reached a sealed door at the end of a long hallway, a massive metal structure embedded with complex security features. Ryder moved toward

The hum of the transport ship was a constant, soothing presence as it cut through the endless dark sky. Eva sat beside her sister, Lyra, her mind still reeling from the chaos they had just narrowly escaped. The Citadel Obsidian was still visible in the distance, a dark shadow against the backdrop of stars.But there was no time to dwell on what they had just left behind. The rebellion was still hot on their heels, and the Empire wasn’t going to let them walk away from this—especially not with what they had uncovered. The files, the truth about Project Requiem, it was all out in the open now. And they would come after them, harder than ever before.“We have to keep moving,” Ryder said, his voice cold and decisive as he looked at the map projected before him. “The rebel forces are already coordinating an attack. They won’t let us slip through their grasp. And as much as the Empire is a threat, the rebels are just as dangerous.”Eva nodded, her gaze flicking from Lyra to Ryder. H
