Outside the safehouse, a shadow lingered in the alley across the street, eyes fixed on Serena’s window as the light inside flickered off. He raised a communicator to his lips. “Target has read the letter. Project Harbinger is compromised.” A pause. “Initiate Phase Seven.”

And inside each pod was a person. They were suspended in a clear liquid, their eyes closed, their faces peaceful. They wore simple grey uniforms. They were not old. They looked like they were just sleeping. Sela and Leo moved closer, their hearts pounding. They shone their lights on the pods. “Who are they?” Leo breathed. Sela read a small, metal plate at the base of one pod. There was a designation number. And a name. “Reaper Unit Gamma-Seven,” she whispered. Her blood ran cold.

Dark Soldiers’ Base – Holding Room Elliot stood before the bank of monitors in the control room, his reflection a grim mask in the glass. On the screens, six young men lay on simple cots in a sterile white room, each with a dull metallic bracelet clamped around one wrist. “We’re missing one,” Elliot said, his voice low. Amy stood beside him, her tablet in hand. “Yes, sir. The seventh signature. It’s… erratic. Fades in and out. The profile fits the historical parameters for the entity code-named ‘Shadowalker.’ How do we find him?”

"Almost... there..." The door hissed open, but as they stepped into the sterile, fluorescent light of the bunker, they weren't alone. Standing in the center of the room was Seven. She wasn't wearing her mercenary gear anymore. She was dressed in a simple white lab coat with her eyes red from crying. Behind her, a dozen screens displayed the global impact of the Needles. London, New York, Tokyo; all of them were being pierced by the violet pillars. "Seven?" Maya said, her voice trembling. "Did you come here to finish the job?"

The voice was no longer filtered through speakers. It came from the dark at the far end of the service corridor, low and steady, carrying the same distorted resonance as the core itself. “Subject 47. Resonator. You have entered the primary imprint corridor. Further resistance is inefficient. Present yourselves for final registration.” Kael stopped so abruptly I nearly walked into his back. His hand stayed locked around mine. Through the bond the failsafe surged in open recognition of the voice, black flooding the edges of his amber eyes and holding there with more force than it had shown since the dais.

The rear door, unable to fully close in the rush, swung wildly with the vehicle's violent acceleration. Avery launched herself forward. 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.*

Eighteen hours into the countdown, the door exploded inward. Not with force. With the same impossible geometry I'd seen before. Reality folding wrong. Dr. Chen stepped through, followed by her eleven subjects moving in perfect synchronization. "Broadcasting your location on my frequencies," she said, almost amused. "Subtle as a gunshot. Subject Seven, you've learned nothing about proper tradecraft." Subject Seven positioned himself defensively. "Are you working for him? For the real X?"

he murmured. I settled back into my seat, but my mind was racing. I needed to confront that parasite—a boy who’d demanded sex and my personal belongings while offering nothing in return. And now he has moved on? No wonder he hadn’t bothered to call. The realization hit me, and I gasped softly. My eyes kept darting toward them, cringing with a fresh wave of horror each time. “Is everything alright?” Brucha asked, likely noticing my panicked expression. “Not really,” I said, forcing a cheerful tone to avoid a scene.

“Scarlett’s proxies aren’t just programs—they’ve hijacked agencies, assets. Digital and flesh.” “Which means she’s not dead,” Liam said, jaw clenched. “She’s not alive either,” Tamar added from across the room. “We’re dealing with a consciousness embedded in code. A synthetic shadow of her mind.” Richter stepped forward, grim as ever. “We need to strike before she stabilizes.” I looked up. “How?” He tapped the map projected on the center table. “A fragment of her was traced to the Zenith Vault in Zurich. If she consolidates her presence there, she can rebuild physically.”

Elena looked back at the photograph. “Then you've been connected to this since childhood.” “I told you I didn't remember.” “I believe you.” That seemed to surprise him. Elena stepped closer. “But someone wanted you to forget.” A metallic sound echoed behind them. Click. Everyone turned. The duplicates had moved. They were standing in formation. Not attacking. Waiting. The first duplicate spoke. “Subject Seven has recovered.” Adrian's eyes narrowed. “Subject Seven?” The duplicate looked directly at him. “You.” Adrian stepped forward.
