The penthouse had turned into a waiting room again. But this time, they weren't waiting for a baby or a verdict or a stock price. They were waiting for a ghost to speak. Aurora sat in the study. The screens on the wall were dark, except for one. It showed a secure feed from a lab in Quantico. Not a live video—that wasn't allowed—but a status dashboard Agent Rivera had granted them access to. CASE ID: 2004-VALE-HAMPTONS.

The shards of metal that had fallen into the sea were vibrating, glowing with a sickly, rhythmic blue. "The government..." Jinyan wheezed, his face contorting in pain. "They didn't just find the signature. They... they hijacked the frequency. They’re using the displacement field to anchor us. They’re turning my failsafe into a vacuum." The black gunships hovered directly overhead now. A voice boomed from the lead vessel, amplified to a deafening, metallic roar. "SUBJECT 0-1. ARCHITECT JINYAN. FOURTH GENERATION. YOU ARE UNDER CIVILIAN DECOMMISSIONING. CEASE ALL NEURAL ACTIVITY OR TOTAL PURGE WILL BE INITIATED."

Eleanor was completely stripped of her mind, but as her trembling hand slipped off the armrest, an automated dead-man's switch hidden beneath the desk abruptly clicked upward. The entire command center bathed in a flashing, apocalyptic red light. "Sovereign protocol compromised," a sterile, automated female voice announced over the facility's intercom. "Initiating purge. Releasing Subject Zero from Sub-Level Containment." From the shadows of the far corridor, the heavy, agonizing scrape of metal chains dragging against the tile floor began to echo closer.

The machine was screaming at him to reset, but the memory was anchored to his core. "I... I can't," he choked out, his voice returning to the resonance and tone of the boy she once knew. ​Up in the command room, the Architect’s monitors flared red. Intruder detected. Subject 44 exhibiting non-linear behavioral response. Biological distress markers at maximum. ​"The intruder is at the terminal," the system announced to the room. "Clara is alive." ​I realized my mistake the moment the signal ended. The frequency had been traced. As I scrambled to shut down the transmitter, the monitors in my basement erupted with alarms.

The screen finally decrypted a heading in bold red: PROJECT ORIGIN: CLASSIFIED – MONTROSE CREST ALLIANCE INITIATIVE. And below it: SUBJECT: E-0. STATUS: ACTIVE. SURVIVOR. Elena’s breath caught. Her photo appeared on the screen. Six years old. Eyes too large for her face. A number stamped on the lower corner. E-0. She scrolled. “Genetic compatibility confirmed. Emotional resilience score: 92nd percentile. Neural growth accelerated. Memory suppression: effective post-fire trauma. Recommend continued surveillance under parental guardianship imprint.”

“No.” Clara stepped forward, her hands trembling as she pointed to the feed from Cell Unit 4. “Something’s happening inside the Vault.” The screen zoomed in. And I saw him. Tall. Shaved head. Electrodes still wired to his skull. Eyes flickering with synthetic fire. THORN01: Online. My stomach twisted as I stared at the figure on the screen. His expression wasn’t blank—it was calm. Too calm. Like he’d just woken up and remembered exactly what he was born to do.

“Meaning” “They’re not here to save us.” I tightened my hold on her. “They’re here to erase witnesses.” The crackle of intercom static burst through the corridor. “Sector Four breach detected. Eliminate survivors. Retrieve Asset Knight.” Elena’s breath hitched. “Asset…?” I didn’t let her finish. I pulled her against my side, keeping her weight balanced as we moved. “Later. Just stay with me.” She gave a small nod, but her eyes were storm-bright fighting consciousness, fighting fear.

Elliot said once they entered the elevator and Primo nodded as a response. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator and entered the setting room, Primo's eyes shone. Everyone was working though got distracted when they saw a pretty guy enetered. "Everyone please have time to listen to me." Elliot said and everyone immediately stop what they're doing. They lend their ears and waiting to hear a new model of the agency but— "Meet Primo Aziel Hughes, he's a new photographer here. Please be mice to him." Everyone bowed down and smiled at Primo.

“Now, put your hand on my forehead. Feel the true power of your soul.” I hesitated. The energy coming off of her was intense and almost overwhelming. But she was part of me, right? It should be safe. I reached out and placed my palm against her forehead. But the moment my skin made contact with her spectral fur, electricity shot through my entire body. Power flowed into me, through me, around me with such force I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think. Couldn’t even fathom what was happening. And then, like a switch had been flipped, everything went black.

The creature didn't scream; it hissed, its orange core flaring as it tried to stabilize. "That’s for Phuwin, you glowing bastard!" Somito roared, bringing the mace down again and again until the orange light flickered and died, leaving only a pile of cooling, amber slush on the floor. "You really need to work on your stealth, old man," Zilo said, rushing to the terminal and his fingers flying across the keys. "Okay, I’ve got the bypass. Cell 402. Restricted access. It says... 'Subject: Pilot. Status: Integration Complete.'"
