"With all due respect, I am nowhere close to being defective. I am Android Version 2.0, Model number 1096; reported bugs from the older model have been fixed. If you got any complaint, please contact Alpha Tech customer care so you will be assisted accordingly." "To actually swear at its owner and talkback on top of that? If this could not be considered defective, I don't know what else. Jodi must have thought that she wasted her money buying you so rather than letting the money she paid for you completely go to waste, she just decided to use you as a gift and gave you to me." Shantal concluded before she scanned the owner's manual for the instruction on how to reboot the Android Partner. "L

Asher said through the implant. "It wasn't me." Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Lights came back on. My computers began automatic reboot settings. Atlas, Taryk, Asher, and Lukas came rushing into my rooms. "What the fuck, Xan?" Taryk asked, his cell phone in his hand. The small device lit up his face. "It's saying we had a power surge. The whole block is down." I shook my head. "I've got no clue. I was just playing my game." I tipped my chin at my usual console. A thin stream of smoke rose from the casing.

The aquamarine quartz against my chest was no longer flashing; it was burning with a continuous, blinding beam of blue light that pointed directly toward the central tower of the fortress. Gideon’s heartbeat was deafening now not through my ears, but rattling directly against my ribcage through our joined mark. But the rhythm was wrong. It wasn't the warm, steady pulse of my Alpha. It was erratic, heavy, and laced with a cold, metallic hum that made my blood run cold.

And for the first time since they got back that night, everywhere felt tense. The silence between them hadn’t even settled when the lights flickered. It happened once, twice, then steadied. Both of them froze. Lucas frowned slightly, glancing up. “What’s wrong with the power?” Alex’s chest tightened as he put in, “Probably just a power fluctuation,” he said quickly, but his voice wasn’t as steady as he wanted it to be. Lucas looked back at him but felt uneasy somehow. He walked over to bed, but before he could settle down, Alex’s phone vibrated again.

Confident that it had evacuated the food's onboard intelligence, the scout ship cleared the meal for digestion and put the nano to work. Jyro fumbled for the emergency lighting switch and toggled it to the "on" position. The overall level of illumination was lower than usual but sufficient to his purposes. "Why did the power go down? What happening?" There was no reply. The navcomp should have been online but wasn't.

Chapter 106: The Sealed Perimeter The elevator shaft in the Brickell tower made a groaning sound as the emergency back-up generators started working. They hum-clicked to life with a mechanical shudder. The main digital display panels inside the elevator were not working. Instead there was an eerie red glow from auxiliary strip lighting. This light washed over Julian's shoulders. He stood still a tall wall of dark clothing and complete focus. His gray eyes were fixed on the changing mechanical floor indicator.

Before he could even swipe his hand to analyze the data, every single piece of high-tech equipment in the penthouse went completely dead. The floating holographic screens vanished. The ambient lighting snapped off. Even the faint, comforting hum of the building's central filtration system cut out, plunging the massive, open-concept living pavilion into a heavy, suffocating darkness. The only light left was the pale, eerie gray of the Seattle afternoon filtering through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Then, my phone—sitting right on the marble counter next to my wet makeup brushes—vibrated violently. The screen illuminated the dark kitchen, a single text message appearing from an unknown,

My father had been listening to me for years. Watching me. Tracking me. Not to protect me. To control me. The protection part was just for show. My stomach twisted with a nausea so sharp it burned. Before I could speak, the tiny device on the table blinked. A small red light. Weak. Faint. But unmistakable. “Cole,” I whispered. “Why did it do that?” “It shouldn’t,” he said immediately. “It has no power source.” The red light blinked again. Steady. Patient.

The first node shut down. I exhaled in relief. “It worked. How much longer do we have left?“ Kai checked his watch. “Five minutes“ “We'd been done by the—“ My words were cut off as suddenly the power went out, covering Kai and I in darkness. “Shit. Not now!“ I yelled, annoyed. “Kai, are you with your phone?“ “No, I'm not“ “What do we do?“ I asked, panicking. “I can't see anything and we're running out of time. Elias! Elias, can you hear me!?“

The wires snap free. For one terrifying second—nothing happens. Then the timer flickers. 00:31 00:30 Marcus exhales. “It’s slowing.” Adrian holds the battery core away from the device. The numbers crawl downward. 00:21 00:20 My knees feel weak. “It’s working.” Marcus nods. “Yeah…” The timer continues. 00:12 00:11 Adrian lowers the battery carefully. The screen flickers again. 00:05 Then— The display goes black.
