Kyle whispered, staring wide-eyed at the warship schematics flickering on the terminal screen. "She’s operating... from a new command station... deeper than anything we’ve seen." The display zoomed in, highlighting an impossible location: The Abyssal Bastion. Buried beneath the North Atlantic Trench, thirty miles from Fortress Nox’s wreckage.

“You never truly severed it. He rejected you, but the Moon didn’t accept it.” Dax’s voice cut like steel. “Aria. Now.” I shoved Kieran into the tunnel and dropped after him, sliding on wet stone.
