They were huddling around a small stove, their faces illuminated by a flickering blue light. But they weren't looking at the stove. They were looking at a portable monitor sitting on a crate. On the screen, a woman was speaking. She was wearing the silver bob and the cold, diamond-blue eyes of Vivian Vance. "**ATTENTION ALL ASSETS,**" Vivian’s voice echoed through the cave. It was smooth, calm, and utterly devoid of the terror I had seen on the Mothership. "**THE VANCE GLOBAL INITIATIVE HAS INITIATED A 'FORCE MAJEURE' PROTOCOL. DUE TO THE ILLEGAL SABOTAGE OF THE PRIMARY SERVER, ALL TERRESTRIAL ASSETS ARE NOW CONSIDERED 'EXCESS DATA'.**"

“His mom has a strong backing,if by chance he's behind this we need to make sure he never makes a move again” “I found something” Beth said. They rushed over immediately,she was holding an iPhone six. “ I've forgotten I own that scrab,does that stuff work” Ethan said. Marcus collected it, scrolling through the phone. “If the phone was already here,and this easy to track,why was the number coded in the beginning” Marcus asked. “Unless it was brought here recently,so we are at dead end again” Ethan said, clearly disappointed. “A cunning enemy,hmm,how was it untraceable all this time”

I held her tighter. She fell asleep curled next to me on the couch, bunny in hand, breath slow and untroubled. I stared at the ceiling, every crack and beam suddenly suspicious. Cameron handed me a tablet with decrypted logs. The intrusion had followed a trail used by Irenic years ago specifically, one linked to Delta-Six. That name punched a hole in my chest. Delta-Six was supposed to be dead.

Killian roared. "Safe. For now. But let’s talk about the present. As of ten minutes ago, I’ve initiated a 'Scorch' protocol on the Atuabo servers. If you don't surrender the digital keys to the Morningstar files within the hour, I’ll vent the high-pressure injectors. The explosion will make the 2006 fire look like a flickering candle." The line went dead. The High-Altitude War

Back in Pittsburgh, Olivia and her friend follow Director Sungold into a green portal projected on the docks. Once they all entered, the agents were baffled by the hi tech layout before them filled with hundreds of SPEAR soldiers. Each tending to various aspects from schematics of the area, bulky mechanical suits, and numerous confiscated magical items. “Where are we?,” Scott asked. “This is the S.P.E.A.R Global disc,” Director Sungold explained. “Of course, we just call it the disc,” A quirky irish woman with short red hair and glasses said as she approached the agents.

Phase Two. Alex: Already en route. Tasha's covering exfil. You’ve got six minutes max. Sophia: Give me four. I disabled the beacon before it could be traced and grabbed the only thing in the room worth keeping—a data crystal tucked into the command slot. Labeled “Oracle Spire.” I didn’t know what it meant, but I’d never seen Damian this protective of a file. Time to move. I slipped through the service hatch behind the console, crawling through the vent system that ran parallel to the main corridor. My leg cramped once, bad angle, but I bit down on it and kept going.

“Alright.” As they took the left corridor, the hum of old machinery returned—an unnatural sound, too rhythmic to be background noise. Damien's hand instinctively rested on his weapon. Aurora moved closer, tense but composed. Then, they found it. A large, circular vault door stood at the end of the hallway, with a biometric scanner and rusted keypad. The sign above read: SUBJECT NULL – RESTRICTED. LEVEL 6 CLEARANCE REQUIRED. Damien’s heart pounded. “We’re here.”

*Wireless Interference Detected. *Automated Safeguard Activated: Universal Encryption Purge in 60 Seconds.* "Sir, the server is executing a self-destruction command!" Marcus shouted, his fingers hitting the secondary keyboard terminal with frantic speed. "The moment it hits zero, the global logistics keys are deleted permanently, and Blackwood Global's network will collapse entirely!"

He typed four characters into the terminal, his knuckles steady, his eyes fixed on the blinking line at the base of the frozen progress bar. 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.
