I screamed, my fingers flying through a translucent, golden HUD that was flickering with red warning signs. "The Maintainers haven't just possessed him; they’ve moved his consciousness into a Deep-Storage Partition. Everything he is—his loyalty, his memories—it’s all in Read-Only Mode. He’s being piloted by a combat-script that has ten thousand years of predator-data behind it!"

Countdown: T-minus thirty-one seconds. The female voice from the ceiling was calm, almost kind. “Termination protocol engaged. Subject Elias Hart-Resonance, Iteration Nine. Thirty seconds to neural cascade shutdown.” The replica, Nine, was on his knees in the server room doorway, fingers clawing at the back of his own neck like he could rip the kill switch out with his bare hands. Mara stood frozen between the two men who wore the same face. One perfect.

And they prohibited most of the abilities that make me a demon from usage. I nickname the man Jerk, although my clairvoyance told me he is a regular human nicknamed Jackal. I don’t know what business he has with Scarlet, but she is allowing him to flip up her skirt under the covered table, which I can see from the table behind. His left-hand glides down her skirt and feels her bare bottom. She is wearing a lacy thong that matches her bra and while seeing the lace gives me a reaction; I am jealous that someone else, instead of me, has his dirty fingers touching her intimate parts.

Retinal. “2147,” Keller said. Punched it in. The door hissed. Opened. Cold air. Metal. Deposit boxes wall to wall. “Yours,” Keller said to Rosie. Pointed. 2147. Middle row. Rosie stepped up. Pressed her palm to the scanner. Red light. _ACCESS DENIED. BIOMETRIC MISMATCH._ “What?” I said. Keller blinked. “That’s— that should be Arthur Blackwood’s palm. Or approved—”

We were walking straight into the jaws of the beast. The execution block was massive, a brutalist amphitheater of white concrete and reinforced glass. In the center of the room, suspended inside a high-voltage stasis-cage, was Aunt Nora. She was unconscious, her head lolling forward, her breathing shallow as a complex array of silver-nitrate wires traveled from her skull into a massive, ceiling-mounted corporate mainframe. Standing directly beneath her cage, his tailored gray suit immaculate against the blood-stained floor, was Director Vance. He was flanked by twenty elite Vanguard shock troops, their heavy plasma rifles raised and aimed directly at our chests.

‎The screen went black. ‎ ‎Then, bright white text appeared. ‎ ‎THE TRUTH ABOUT BLOODMOON. ‎ ‎A gasp rippled through the crowd. ‎ ‎Then, the images appeared. ‎ ‎Page 42 of the Ledger. The list of names. ‎ ‎Maya Vane, Age 6 - Harvested. Subject 104 - Terminated. ‎ ‎The text was massive, readable from a mile away. ‎ ‎Then, the next image. A blueprint of the lab beneath the chapel. The chemical formula for the Wolfsbane poison.

A single screen remained dark. Then slowly lit up. Not with the stranger’s face. But with a message. Biometric conflict unresolved. Secondary signature remains active. Isabella’s heart stopped. Secondly she whispered. The screen displayed a name. Alexander Hale. The room went silent. Alexander stared at the message. I did not authorize anything he said slowly. The console flashed again. Residual access detected. Migration incomplete. The stranger’s voice returned. Weaker. But still there. You erased yourself. But not him.

The whole lab seemed to quake with the weight of the assault. Yuri, Devin, and Naelle converged on their position from different wings. “We got the backup drives,” Naelle called. “Extraction point is three floors up!” But then—a screech. Not human. Mechanical.

"He was the only survivor of the 2016 Starfall in the Mtwara region. His skin is denser than depleted uranium. He can walk through a hail of bullets as if they were raindrops. And unlike your 'New Dawn' friends, he is perfectly, beautifully obedient." She walked over to the giant, who stood like a statue. She reached up and patted his boulder-like shoulder.
