Phoenix Legacy

The encrypted record classified Phoenix Legacy sat on Vanessa’s display like a ticking bomb, its presence a chilling reminder that Dominion’s plans didn’t die with the hub.

Vanessa’s hands hovered over the keyboard, her face pale. “This record isn’t just like the others. It’s triple-encrypted, and whoever set it up didn’t need it accessed easily.”

Ethan leaned in opposition to the wall, his injured shoulder swiftly wrapped in a bandage. “Can you crack it?”

Vanessa nodded, aleven though her expression changed into uncertain. “I can, however it’ll take time. This isn’t only a record —it’s linked to something. It’s looking to sync with an outside server, however the hub’s destruction interrupted the process.”

I stepped closer, my coronary heart pounding. “What takes place if it connects?”

Ethan, his weapon educated at the group, growled, “What sleeper application ? What else have you ever bastards been hiding?” The guy who had dispatched the threatening messages— the obvious ringleader of this faction—smirked. “You’ve been so targeted at the network, on Phoenix and Chimera, that you ignored the actual threat.
