Project Halo had to be in there somewhere. In one hand, she carried a memory scanner. In the other, her fear. But she didn’t hesitate. Because this was no longer about answers. It was about reclaiming control. She found the mainframe beneath the biometric chamber. Silver wires stretched from the walls like veins, pulsing softly. Ophelia plugged in the device and began scanning the database. Names flew across the screen. Carl Maddox. Subject 04. Immune to psychic abilities. Recruited at age 7 after maternal sacrifice.

My throat tightened as I clicked a video file labeled: Prototype 7. The footage flickered to life. Maria sat behind a sleek desk, her expression calm and deliberate. “The subject Scarlett Maria Devereux exhibits strong adaptive instincts, emotional volatility, and high persuasion thresholds. Predicted outcome: ideal candidate for control transfer.” Control transfer. I scrolled to the next document a contract signed under Damien Cole’s name, dated before Maria’s death. Subject assigned: Scarlett M. Devereux. Objective: integrate emotional dependency and ensure asset compliance. I couldn’t breathe.

That wasn’t synthetic. Neither was mine. A soft tone interrupted the silence. New notification. Not from the apartment. From my tablet. I crossed the room slowly and picked it up. The screen displayed a single classified document. PROJECT ORPHEUS Behavioral Synchronization Trial – Phase III Primary Objective: Emotional Dependency Pairing for Executive Stabilization My blood went cold. Below it— Subject A: Reid, Shawn Subject B: Agreste, Catriona Status: Convergence Successful Shawn went utterly still behind me.

“Then we leave now.” Seraphina turned toward the elevator. But before she could move, the tower shook violently. A message appeared across every screen. CROWN NETWORK BREACH. Then another. SUBJECT 003 LOCATION: CONFIRMED. Seraphina’s blood ran cold. “Subject 003?” Victor’s face drained of color. Lucien noticed. “You know what that means.” Victor slowly nodded. “Subject 003…” He looked at Seraphina. “…was created from your DNA.”

On the terminal behind us, the black icon of the Watchers flared one last time, and a single, new line of text scrolled across the screen. [ANOMALY IDENTIFIED: THE RECYCLED MOTHER] [STATUS: MEMORY RESTORED] [DIRECTIVE: INITIATE TERMINATION OF THE OBSOLETE MODEL] The floorboards beneath Leo suddenly turned to liquid mercury, a silver vortex opening to pull him back into the dark.

Files opened in rapid succession—maps, experiment logs, facility locations, project titles. But one folder pulsed red. Project: SERAPH Isla opened it. A single video began to play. Grainy. Distorted. A laboratory. Dimly lit. Children in containment pods, unconscious. A woman in a white coat stood at the center—Lyra. Younger. Harder. She turned to the camera. “If this is being viewed, it means Subject Zero has reached phase five.” Ethan’s jaw tightened. “Subject Zero?” “That’s me,” Isla whispered.

Just snow and shadows and silence. Perfect for ghosts. Luca started setting perimeter charges. Nico handled comms and power. Matteo dragged a table into the main room and dropped the drive on it. “You sure about this?” he asked me. “No,” I said. “But it’s time.” We sat together as the drive powered on, screen flickering blue. A countdown appeared: 47:56:21 And then beneath it, in blood-red letters: SUBJECT 01 – PROTOTYPE RESONANCE EVENT TRIGGERED

No name. Just a velvet box with a thumb drive inside. She stared at it. And slowly—slowly—inserted it into her laptop. A video began to play. Fuzzy at first. Then clear. It was a man’s voice: “Asset 02-27-B. Subject shows exceptional memory retention and elevated spatial reasoning. We recommend placement under secondary family cover until Phase Three.” A woman’s voice interrupted. “She’s too young.” “But if we don’t move her now, they’ll find her. Claire already suspects.”

Coincidentally, the feet that Klaie used to step on Omeo face was the cheeks that suffered a lot of beating for today, and it was from a prodigal researcher, a human and a weird guy with a feet shaped like that of an animal. Omeo was the one to be unconscious once again after having to make almost al Sotiras and heroes faint to execute the plan. The retribution only for him had come so soon. The guy lips which was lowered and not smiling finally curled up as he slowly and coldly said under his breathe, "Welcome No. 000005 to our evolved monsters world, Researcher Omeo" Name: Klaie Ird Age: 1 000 years old Experimented No: 0000004

“Be careful.” I look around again before I make my way down the stairs. “Look at that.” Rowan gestures to a label near the demon’s cage. I blink my eyes and read the label and gasp with shock, D3M04 10RD. “Oh, my god, it’s him. The one from the file.” I whisper. Rowan’s eyes grow round as he carefully approaches the cell. “Hello.” He calls out to the demon. For a moment, the demon doesn’t stir, so Rowan calls out a little louder. “Hey, wake up!”
