The last light fell across the console, and the small green blink in the corner was steady, patient, like a light waiting for someone to answer it. I walked to it and brushed the dust away until the screen breathed through. A single line of text glowed faintly and then, like a heartbeat, it blinked. PHOENIX.

It’s a simple fix, but it feels oddly intimate, the way he’s letting me see him up close like this, trusting me with his flaws. Just as I reach for the final calibration setting, the lights flicker. I freeze. “Not again.” The main power cuts a second later, casting the room in darkness. A few emergency lights buzz on overhead, coating everything in a faint red glow. The servers hum louder in the silence. “Seriously?” I mutter. “Third time this week.” Flynn’s voice is calm. “You think it’s the wiring again?” I sigh, stepping back from the workbench. “Maybe. Or the lab’s just as tired as I am.”

Then a roar. The backup lights flickered on. They were red. Emergency power. The servers groaned back to life. CONNECTION RESTORED. RESUMING UPLOAD... 22% "We are back," Bex cheered. "But the speed is throttled. They are jamming the signal from the outside." "How long?" Julian asked. "Twenty minutes," Bex said. "Maybe thirty." Julian checked his watch. He pulled his pistol.
