team. "The 'Sovereign' scanners are performing a 'Recursive' loop every twelve seconds," Aria whispered, her voice a "Low-Frequency" vibration. "If we don't hit the 'Crossover' window, the 'Master-Ledger' will 'Index' us before we reach the airlock." "Wait for the 'Acoustic' pulse," Ethan commanded.

"The machines realized the power spike came from here. They’re sending a 'Maintenance Crew' to fix the leak." She looked back at us, her expression grim. "And they don't use drones for maintenance. They use the **Reaped**." "Who are the Reaped?" Rowan asked. "The people who didn't survive the de-compiler," she said. "The ones who lost their souls to the simulation. They’re coming to put you back in your boxes." A sound echoed from the sky—a long, low horn that sounded like the Earth itself was crying.

"Here, take this." The phone disappeared from his hand. Xander and I looked at each other, eyes wide. "Okay," he said and then gulped. "Now, hold your hand in front of the scanner. What colors show on the screen?" "It says, ‘no data,'" Scarlet said. "Now, hit the ‘History' button at the top right of the screen." "Okay." "Now, select ‘Saved Scans.' Yours is the first one that I just took while standing here talking to you."

Rhys slowly extended his left arm, placing his wrapped forearm directly into the glowing blue cradle. The scanner flared to life, a grid of green lasers painting the carbon-fiber wraps, digging deep into the micro-filaments. On the massive holographic screen above the pedestal, lines of raw code began to scroll rapidly. > **HARDWARE SCAN: RUNNING...** > COMPOSITION: CARBON-ALUMINA SKELETAL WEAVE > RESISTANCE INDEX: ACTIVE > MOLECULAR DENSITY: MAXIMUM >

He looked at his hands—the hands that used to stop time, now calloused from sanding the deck. I do not remember doing it, Cale said. I only remember the reports. So? So, Cale said, picking up the hard drive. I require visual confirmation. You want to watch yourself be a monster? I want to see the man who saved you, Cale corrected. I want to see if he looks like me. Are you sure? Yes. Set up the laptop. They went back inside. Elion cleared the table. He plugged in the hard drive. A folder popped up on the screen. PROJECT: REAPER - RAW FILES.

​As we approached a quiet crossroads near a forested ridge, Zayne reached over to adjust the cabin heater. At that exact moment, the ruggedized data-slate sitting in the storage pocket between our seats gave a single, sharp, discordant beep. ​It wasn't a loud alarm. It was a tiny, low-frequency pulse—the automated detection chime of our passive RF hardware scanner picking up an unrecognized localized transmission. ​I froze, my hand instantly dropping from the console. ​Zayne’s eyes flicked down to the data slate. His expression instantly hardened, the relaxed, warm demeanor vanishing in a fraction of a second as he slowed the vehicle down to a crawl on the deserted shoulder of the road.

Rolling my eyes I cross my arms leaning back in my chair, “care to share with the class?” He presses his palms together and asks, “son, have you ever heard of the Reapers?” I frown, “No. What is a Reaper?” He leans over, “so when you die, the Reaper is the one who severs your bond from this world that lets you move onto the next. For us back to the Moon Goddess. They are curious beings and only those who have seen traumatic death can see them. I’m sure there is one in our pack right now, waiting for someone to die. They are nearly untraceable and hold no allegiances to anyone but their task. Sever the bond, let the soul move on.”

“You are just figuring this out?” Reaper shook his head and took a step towards me. “We are getting off topic.
