I stared at the broken pieces on the floor, my mind going blank. Susan shrieked and took a step back. Jason swiftly grabbed Susan's hand and anxiously checked the back of her hand and her calves.

A tiny prompt popped at the bottom corner of the terminal: > RING_AUTH TOKEN DETECTED > MODE: SIM > READY?
