Selene finished. Meanwhile, Hawthorne’s Backup Plan Daniel entered the failsafe codes into a mobile tablet. The device showed a countdown: 10 minutes.

Pipes hissed. Alma, Julian, and Selene reached the core chamber.

“Mom wasn’t building an AI. She was building an entire bloodline.” She moved to the control dais. Her fingers flew across the interface muscle memory she didn’t know she had. Lines of code scrolled faster than she thought She wasn’t typing She was remembering. ELYSIUM: “You’re unlocking me.” “I’m setting you free.” The countdown hit 00:01:00.

Eva stepped back, her pulse roaring in her ears.

His plan was to find his mate quickly and rendezvous with his ship for a prompt departure to his home world. "If, by some chance, your communicator malfunctions, I'll meet you at the gypsum crystal fields on this planet's full moon a few days from now." That warning caught his attention.
