Her heart raced as she traced patterns in the code, trying to find a way to override the machine. Sparks shot past her hands, sizzling against metal. Luke crouched beside her, fists ready, eyes scanning every corner of the room. “Hurry,” he urged. “He’s not going to let us get away so easily.”

He seemed to recognize something—a quality, a presence—that he couldn't quite place. "This is my assistant, Dr. Morris," Sophia said, stepping slightly to the side to shield Avery from his direct line of sight. Avery wasted no time. Before his attendants could intervene, she pulled a printed document from her briefcase, flipped decisively to the core page, and held it up in front of Robert with a sharp, commanding snap. The sound of the paper cutting through the air was enough to draw the attention of everyone nearby. It was an enlarged, bolded neural error waveform. A red marker had circled a jagged, fang-like damage pattern in stark, accusatory lines. In the top right corner, clearly print

Bram picked up his jacket and put it on as he strode out of his office. He then rushed toward the hub while nobody was looking, with Adrian and Vivian following closely behind. “I may know where the entrance to Scorpio Hub is but we’re going to need a Luposian’s ID card to get inside, sir. I’ll take you two there to have a look. We’ll think of something when we get there.” Soon, Bram brought Adrian and Vivian to the deepest parts of the hub. Inside were countless shipments containing items of all varieties. He pulled open one of the racks and lo and behold, there was indeed a door disguised as a wall.

“That was the key all along…” I slammed the shard into the core. The system stuttered. AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE. PURGE SEQUENCE INITIATED. Scarlett screamed. The projection exploded into static, and the limbs flailed wildly. “She’s collapsing!” Tamar shouted. The vault began to quake. “Get out!” Richter ordered. Liam grabbed my hand. “Come on!” But I froze, staring at the dying figure in the pod. Scarlett was gone. But something else flickered in her place.

Scene Shift – Unknown Location Matteo sat in the back of a sleek black car, watching a flickering monitor feed displaying Sophia’s room at the safehouse. He smiled. “Cage One is online,” he said softly. “And my little brother has no idea what he’s brought into his heart.” He looked to the man beside him — a silent figure with a scar down his throat and an eerie stillness. “Prepare Phase Three.” The man nodded once. “And tell Vale’s replacement,” Matteo added, “to hurry. I want her activated before the wedding.”

Soon, everyone knew that a woman named Esther Wilder was about to marry Leon. ... Tristan saw the video of Leon proposing to Esther. It was the middle of the night. The house without Esther seemed empty and lifeless. He couldn't fall asleep. The truth was, it had been a long time since he'd had a good night's rest. That night, as he scrolled through his phone, he saw the whole internet buzzing over a proposal video. The moment he clicked on it, his blood ran cold. The thumbnail was Esther's radiant smile. It had been so long since he last saw her smile like that.

Thomas tried desperately to reach out and grab the fallen data drive, but the sharp heel of Liora’s shoe came down hard upon his hand, pinning it painfully to the ground. “This belongs to neither you nor anyone else,” Liora said coldly as she bent down and picked up the drive. Once Thomas had been restrained and securely handcuffed by Leo’s team, Mavric and Liora stood together before the massive mainframe housing the Scorpion system. The room fell silent, save for the sound of their heavy, ragged breathing. “Open it, Liora,” Mavric whispered softly. “Put an end to all of this, once and for all.”

The Spire’s core was just ahead, a pulsating, white-gold heart that radiated a frequency so powerful it made my teeth rattle in my skull. I reached the maintenance hatch—a circular plate of reinforced obsidian. It was locked with a biometric seal. "Vessel 002 detected," a cold, feminine voice echoed in the pipe. "Identity: Zora Vane. Status: Rogue. Biological purge initiated." The liquid around me began to boil.

The display went completely black, replacing her secure desktop with a single, glowing red terminal prompt. Sophia’s heart hammered against her ribs. She didn't move toward the desk. She remained standing by the cabinet, her muscles instantly tensing into high alert. The terminal prompt began to type out text automatically, line by line, in a cold, mechanical cadence.
