she murmured, turning her monitor toward them. Lines of code pulsed in pale green, crawling like ants across the screen. USER ID: UNKNOWN 00. ACCESS TIME: 03:07 UTC – during the reset. Command: Mirror Copy Initiated. Sophia’s stomach knotted. “A mirror copy of what?” Clara’s voice cracked. “Of everything.” What followed felt like chasing ghosts through a labyrinth of servers with each trace colder, more obscure, more deliberately hidden than the last. The trail leapt continents, burrowed beneath encrypted firewalls, and finally ended in a place Sophia knew far too well: Lagos.

It scanned the system logs, then spoke a single line: “Target Alma Vale located. Initiate containment sequence.” And the world, as it knew it, began to tremble.

The screen turned blue, filled with lines of scrolling text. I felt a surge of triumph. It was a diagnostic mode for testing the internal cellular antenna. It allowed for one thing: a raw, unencrypted SMS burst to a test number. I didn't have Adrian’s number memorized, but I knew the university’s server gateway by heart. We’d used it a thousand times to ping the lab’s remote sensors. I typed as fast as my shaking thumbs would allow, using the shorthand we’d developed for the simulation logs. ST: GILDED CAGE. LOCKOUT ACTIVE. MASTER KEY IN LOCAL DRIVE. DON'T SYNC. LOOK AT THE LAND DEED CLAUSE 4B. NORA. - S.

Damon POV ~•~ The SUV had barely cleared the gates when my phone buzzed against my thigh. Encrypted line. I swiped. “Talk to me.” Marco’s voice came low and rough. “Boss, we got something. Not solid proof yet, but a real lead. You’re gonna want to see this yourself.” “Anything’s better than the nothing we’ve had,” I said, leaning forward. “Spill.” “Not over the phone. Warehouse Six. The old one by the docks. We’ve got two guys who can do the explaining better than me.”

Sophie’s office is at the end, corner unit with windows overlooking the Bay. The door is locked, but Anthony’s master card works here too. Inside, the office is pristine. Organized. Not a single thing out of place. The couch where Maya found them is against the far wall, innocent-looking in the dim light. I pull out my laptop, sitting at Sophie’s desk. The hidden cameras Anthony mentioned should be wireless, feeding to a local server that backs up to a private cloud account. I pull up the login credentials Anthony gave me. Username: SMSupport. Password: a string of numbers and letters.

"You look like a terrorist, Liam. A high-tech terrorist." I looked at Sarah. I looked at the man next to her, a retired general named Vance. Vance was staring at his hands. He knew about structures. He knew about weight. "General," I said. He looked up. "Does this look like a weapon to you?" "It looks like a skeleton key," Vance said. "And in the wrong hands, a key is just a way to steal." "I am the hands," I said. "Are you?" Vance asked. "Because the data was uploaded from an IP address registered to this building."

The laboratory on the fifth basement level of the Montgomery Building was bone-chillingly cold, a subterranean tomb of glass and silicon. Under Zero's frantic guidance, Sophia finally stood before the "Root Server," a monolithic black pillar pulsating with a ghostly, rhythmic blue light. The air was thick with the acrid, metallic scent of electrical overload, and the countdown on her HUD had entered its final three minutes—00:02:59.

HOST LINK – 63% Scarlett’s blood ran cold. The machine had accelerated because of her presence. No more hesitation. She slammed her finger onto CONFIRM PURGE. The server room screamed. Every monitor flared blood-red. Rows of indicator lights burst in a rapid chain reaction, showering sparks across the floor. The vault began to crack with sharp, fracturing sounds. The crystal drive inside split violently. Victor shouted, “It’s working!” Luna’s eyes widened. “The backup is collapsing!” Alexander’s face twisted in horror. “No!”

The room was in a dark blue glow. "AGHHH!" Colonel Danjuma screamed as his computer caught fire melting into a blob. Inside the glass container a brain let out a bad contraction its cables snapping as the electricity cooked its tissues. CRITICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. SPECIAL COMPUTER SYSTEM: DESTROYED. EMERGENCY DATA DISPERSAL: STARTED. TARGET: SPECIAL FREQUENCY. "Sierra! Look out!" Kemi screamed. The electricity did not go away. It formed a blue ball that shot out of the container and came straight at me!

“I asked a question.” “In this facility? No,” she said. “But there are six other facilities. I hear that the one in the mountain is the most filled. Hundreds of kids.” Hundreds. Makes sense that they would put it in such a location. That would also mean that security would be a nightmare. Would Ryan and his people be okay? “Squad six, come in,” I said through the communicator. When I did not get a response, I repeated. “Squad six.” There was shuffling and then an unfamiliar voice came through the speakers. “This is squad six to squad zero. Ryan is currently tied up in a battle with four…not fifteen humanoids. Should I pass a message?”
