We descended deeper into the mountain, the air growing colder, heavier, reeking of ozone and strong chemical antiseptics. "The main server room is on sub-level four," Vance’s voice crackled in our earpieces. "If Silas downloaded the first half of the sequence from your parents' backup servers, that's where he’s keeping it." Lucien kicked open the door to sub-level four. We stepped into a massive, cavernous space, but it wasn't a server room.

CMD: OVERRIDE_LOG The green screen flickered once, the blue blocks of the progress bar vanishing into a single, clean line of white text that began to scroll from the bottom of the display: MASTER KEY VERIFIED: CATHERINE HAWTHORNE (1998) Sophia’s hand moved then—not toward the white drive on the desk, but toward the inner pocket of her trench coat, her fingers closing around something small and dark that didn't look like a phone or a storage device.

Sarah, how do I know which one? She spoke urgently into the microphone. Look for the code SC-47, a blue vial. Got it. Grabbing it now. Relief flooded through me, overwhelming and fleeting, nearly buckling my knees. Harrison, report? Nathaniel asked, voice edged with worry. Static. Harrison? More static, then a guttural grunt of pain. Harrison's voice, strained and rough: Shoulder's hit, but I can still move. They're everywhere. Every exit route we planned is compromised.

Like a mother driven mad, she threw herself onto the rear step of the speeding van. Physical pain seemed to have been severed entirely by maternal instinct. Her ten fingers dug into the narrow gap of the door, barely half an inch wide. Inside the cargo hold, a scar-faced man hunched over the communicator grabbed his radio. "—Yes, Mr. D. The direct derivative sample of Subject 047 has been secured. No damage to the specimen." *047.*

Level 2 — Surveillance Control Operators shouted across consoles, their eyes on security feeds. “Sector Four breach!” “She’s with it—some girl!” “That’s no girl. That’s Carson’s kid. The one who raised it.” One soldier barked into a comm: “Orders? Terminate both?” Static. Then a voice replied, grim and clipped: “Negative. The Chimera protocol is priority. Do not engage unless necessary.” The guards hesitated — but hesitation didn’t save them.

"Look at you, all eager to please. You didn't even offer anything in return. Why would she help you out?" He then handed me a card. "I'm Daniel Jenkins. Here's a little something for our first meeting. ZenWave's beauty clinics are all part of my family business. With this card, you can enjoy unlimited visits." ZenWave was a well-known, high-end beauty clinic chain. A single visit there could cost tens of thousands of dollars. This gift was too generous. I didn't take the card, but Leon snatched it from Daniel's hand and stuffed it into mine.

File origin: internal lab archive. Extraction date: three days ago. Uploaded from Zurich IP cluster. Interesting. Why upload now? Why not earlier? Unless the footage wasn’t previously accessible. Unless someone had secured it. Or modified it. I slowed the playback to frame-by-frame. 22:46 — Corridor clear. 22:47 — I enter frame. 22:48 — Access panel opened. 22:49 — Code entered. 22:50 — Door opens. 22:58 — Adrian appears at corridor end.

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.
