"What's on this drive that's worth so many lives?" Elena hesitated, exchanging a glance with Sonia. "It's not what's on the drive, Alex. It's what the drive can access." "Explain," he demanded. "Your father built a genetic database that spans three generations of research," Elena said. "The flash drive is essentially a key—useless without the right lock, deadly if used correctly." "And the lock is in Corsica," Sonia concluded. Elena nodded grimly. "Along with research your father buried decades ago—research the Director has been trying to resurrect ever since."

"They didn't wait for the data to leak. They followed us." ​"They aren't here for the facility," Eniola said, her voice dropping to a sharp, tactical pitch. "They’re here for the Masterpiece files. Silas told them the Lagos site held the genetic mapping for the entire 'Beta' generation. If they get those files, they can find every other child he hid across the continent." ​Julian slammed the SUV into gear as the rest of them piled in. "Where are the files, Eniola?" ​Eniola reached into the hidden lining of her blazer and pulled out a small, jagged piece of hardware. It wasn't a standard thumb drive; it was a neural-link core, the kind that required a Vane’s biometric signature to even power

Anna, however, ignored my indifference and continued, "Today marks the first anniversary of my having met the Battaglias. We need to celebrate!" Having said that, she sashayed out in her heels, twirling and swaying in the living room. Not long after, I heard the sudden blaring of an alarm from outside. I sat up, my head pounding, only to see Anna standing by my computer with panic written all over her face. "Julia, I was trying to find some childhood photos of you guys, but I accidentally spilled water on your computer…" I felt my heart clench. That computer held five years' worth of experimental data. It was five years of hard work and the very foundation of my dreams in research!

I asked. Bennett’s eyes settled on me. “They’ve flagged a secondary dataset embedded in the archive.” My attention sharpened. “What kind of dataset?” “Medical.” The word landed differently. Heavier. Closer. My grip on the notebook tightened slightly. “Define medical.” Bennett didn’t hesitate. “Patient histories. Genetic profiles. Long-term tracking.” Silence. Then— “How many?” Jaxon asked. Bennett glanced at the file in her hand. “More than we expected.”

"Julian said he’s taking us to the secondary facility. Genesis Island was supposed to be the only one. What did you build down here, Elara?" Elara stared at the frosted glass, her reflection pale and ghostly in the red light. She wrapped her arms around herself, shivering from both the cold and the weight of her own secrets. "Genesis was the vault," she began, her voice hollow. "It held the data, the financial ledgers, the global network. But data is vulnerable. It can be copied, deleted, or stolen—as Julian just proved. I needed a shadow infrastructure. A place where the physical hardware of my empire could survive a localized extinction event."

Was I doomed to repeat her mistakes? Victor stepped closer, his eyes narrowing as he read the screen over my shoulder. "She didn’t fail, Elena. She made sure you had a way out. You just have to follow the trail she left behind." I nodded, but doubt gnawed at me. Was I strong enough? Was I the person she thought I was? The terminal beeped, drawing my attention. A new file appeared, labeled PROJECT NOVA: Elena’s Genetic Code. I hesitated, my heart pounding. What could this be? My genetic code? The words felt like a trap, each letter drawing me deeper into a mystery I wasn’t sure I could untangle.

My fists clenched at my sides. “Elijah,” I said in a low, raspy voice, “please tell me this is not happening.” He didn’t answer. Already, he was bringing up a terminal, his fingers pounding the keys. The datastream's lines of decoded Codex data scrolled down the screen, which quietly lit into a dim shade of green. Symbols. DNA sequences. Embedded chains of tech signatures. Numb, I sat there silently while he pulled up a model of my genetic profile and the screen lit up with something truly sickening.

"Aria, what exactly are you planning to do?" Aria pulled out her tablet, showing schematics of Vale Tech's server infrastructure. "The genetic research databases, the communication networks, the collaborative platforms that Margaret's been using, they all run through a central server cluster on the twenty-third floor." "Can't you just delete the data remotely?" "It's backed up in seventeen different locations globally. Deleting it would take days, and they'd notice immediately." "Then what?" Aria's smile was bitter and determined. "I'm going to corrupt it. Introduce errors so subtle that they won't be discovered until someone tries to use the data. By then, every calculation will be wrong, e

It's all over the internet. Mrs Zhou's private genetic information is now public knowledge." I felt sick. "Who leaked it?" "Unknown. But Emily, every pharmaceutical company, every government, every genetics researcher worldwide now has access to your complete DNA profile. You're no longer just Catherine's prototype, you're an open-source blueprint." Nathan arrived at the penthouse twenty minutes later, looking devastated. "Emily, Victoria's next move. She's offering licensing rights to your genetic data to any company willing to partner with Longwei Industries. She's monetizing you."

“I can hear you. Sophie, how are you?” Sophie wasn’t in her own apartment. Using a business trip as an excuse, she was staying in a hotel. Only here was completely safe because it was a temporary trip, the other party couldn’t interfere with the hotel. “I’m fine,” said Sophie, letting out a sigh of relief. “Yesterday I logged into Aitairy’s internal database and found the genetic data had been updated. The IP was traced to Impelia, linked to a man named Zachary Scott, and there seems to be another man whose gene data isn’t fully matched, named... Anthony.”
