They were fast—unnaturally fast. “Signal sent,” Nomo whispered as the tablet chimed. He looked up just as the first creature lunged from the shadows, its jaw unhinging to reveal rows of needle-like silver teeth. He raised his sword, the silver blade humming with his own desperate energy. “Sofia... I hope you’re watching.” (SOFIA QUISPE’S POINT OF VIEW) “The signal is coming from the basement levels of Warehouse 14,” Phuwin said, his fingers flying across the keys. “I’m trying to override their security, but someone is counter-coding me in real-time. It’s Klaus. He’s been waiting for us to trip this wire.”

I'd never have to lower myself like this again. The next morning, I packed my things and went to say goodbye to the pack's second-in-command, Simon Darke. While we were talking, Kyle walked in. I caught his scent immediately. The heavy smell of daisies clinging to him belonged to Elara. In our world, letting your scent cling to someone else was a more intimate declaration than anything else. Clearly, he'd done a thorough job "comforting" her last night. He always hated it when I left my scent on him and claimed it undermined his authority as Alpha. It turned out he just didn't want my scent on him specifically.

Soon I finished exploring the campsite but found nothing unusual. "David, check the mountain foot you mentioned," a voice came through my earpiece. I nodded slightly and left the campsite, heading toward the dark mountainside. Occasional animal calls and rustling leaves made me shrink my neck, but thinking of Aaron's tragic death gave me courage to continue. Suddenly, a bright light shone in my face. I closed my eyes and raised my hand to block it. "Stop!" Several burly men appeared before me.

And unlike the first scout, this one is already transmitting. The Custodian’s voice breaks the silence. The second probe has begun long range data transmission. Ezra’s voice is quiet and dangerous. “To the predator.” Yes. Matteo rubs both hands over his face. “So let me summarize.” He points at the projection. “Alien whale allies on one side.” Then he points at the second signal. “Galaxy ending robot monster scouts on the other.” Then he gestures toward me. “And somehow all of this is happening because of Aidan’s brain.”

The damp air of London's underground tunnels clung to my skin, rank with the smell of sulfur and centuries of decay. I signaled the team to halt, my eyes adjusting to the darkness. "Scent markers ahead," Lucas whispered, his military training evident in his precise movements. "Two hundred meters." "Everyone clear on the objective?" I asked, adjusting the tactical pack containing Amelia's stolen files against my back. Sophia nodded, her dark eyes gleaming amber in the low light. "Get in, confirm virus distribution points, get out. No engagement unless necessary."

Containment. --- Lucas opened the second drive. Files filled the screen. Old. Encrypted. Partially corrupted. But readable. One document appeared at the top. ARK / PHASE ZERO Below it: OBJECTIVE: MODEL CROSS-SYSTEM RECOGNITION WITHOUT CENTRAL COMMAND. Lucas stared at the sentence. “That's it.” I read the next line. PRIMARY CONSTRAINT: HUMAN OBSERVERS MUST REMAIN OUTSIDE THE MODEL. I felt my stomach drop. “Outside.” Lucas nodded.

It was a panic-induced move, but at least it sounded legitimate. Aichan didn’t buy it for a second. “International video conference? In a bathroom? With a crayon?” Takuto quickly tried to regain his composure. “Absolutely. It’s… uh, classified. I’ll have to debrief you later.” She didn’t reply, but he could hear her muttering as she walked away. Still, the wheels of innovation were already turning in Takuto’s head. Sleep God 2.0 Technical Specifications Power System: Took apart Kenta’s jumping frog toy (compensation: 10 biscuits + one week of being ridden like a horse).

Text scrolled across it, jittering and incomplete: ROUND FIVE: INITIATED CONTROL SEQUENCE — PENDING RESPONSE Eli’s hands shook. “You said it was dead—how the hell is it running?” Damian didn’t answer. His gaze was locked on the screen, transfixed. Then the second line appeared. PLAYER 2: AWAKE The words cut through the room like a blade. Eli’s breath hitched. “Player 2? That’s not—” Damian’s eyes flicked to him, wide and unsteady. “That’s you.” A spark snapped from the transmitter, and the emergency lights died completely.

No consequences would fall on them, whereas Scorpia's people were sneaking around like criminals. Scorpia chuckled. "You flatter me, chief. It's just my usual approach. That's why the organization trusted me with something this important. Now that Felix has jumped into that pit, he's practically trapped. I'd say it's time to get the party started." Just as she finished speaking, one of Jacob's aides, watching the monitor, suddenly spoke up, "Sir, we've lost signal from Skye." "What?" Jacob's face showed a flicker of confusion.

A final message appeared. Because Silas is not just a child anymore. He is the most valuable scientific asset on the planet. Damian’s chest tightened. Victor’s last message appeared on the screen. Helix will not stop until they obtain him.
