The Nexus Point CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN
MCKENNA I walked into the room, finding Maxine sitting on the couch, looking calm and collected. I had been tasked with informing her of the final testing she would have to undergo before being cleared as a member of Vortex."Maxine, I'm here to discuss the final stage of your testing," I said, taking a seat across from her.She looked up at me, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "What's the test?"I smiled, impressed by her eagerness. "It's a simulation exercise, designed to push your skills and abilities to the limit. But I have to warn you, it won't be easy."Maxine nodded, a determined look on her face. "I'm ready. I want to end this testing and prove myself as a valuable member of Vortex."I was taken aback by her response. Most recruits would be hesitant, even fearful, of the final test. But not Maxine. She was eager to prove herself, to show that she was worthy of being part of our team.As I looked at her, I realized that she had no idea what was truly going on. She didn't know

MAXINE I stood tall, my heart racing with excitement as I faced the entire Vortex team. McKenna, with a warm smile, stepped forward and began the initiation ceremony."Maxine, from this day forward, you are a full-fledged member of Vortex. You have proven yourself to be a valuable asset to our team, and we are honored to have you by our side."The room erupted in applause as McKenna handed me a sleek, silver badge with the Vortex logo emblazoned on it. I took it, feeling a surge of pride and belonging.Klaus, standing off to the side, caught my eye. He was beaming with pride, and I could sense a hint of relief emanating from him. I smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude towards him for believing in me.McKenna continued, "As a member of Vortex, you will be part of an elite team that takes on the toughest missions. You will be working closely with Phoenix-4, our top-tier operatives, to take down threats and protect the innocent."I felt a thrill run through me as I glanced at the Phoeni

MAXINE I woke up to the soft glow of my bedroom's ambient lighting, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. As I gaze around the room, I'm surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors . The walls, floor, and ceiling blend seamlessly into a continuous, curved surface, creating an immersive environment The walls, adorned with holographic displays that shift and change as I watch, showcasing vibrant patterns, news feeds, and personalized messages.The floor made of a gleaming, silver-gray material that seems almost liquid in its reflectivity. Subtle, color-shifting tiles create a mesmerizing mosaic, responding to my every step.Above me, the ceiling dissolves into a stunning, high-definition sky simulation, complete with drifting clouds, shining stars, and a warm, golden light that mimics the sun's gentle touch. A holographic display flickers to life before me, responding to my voice and gestures. Soft, melodic chimes announce incoming messages and updates.As I breathe in the room's sterile,

MAXINE I slowly opened my eyes, grogginess lifting like a veil. But instead of the sterile white room, I found myself standing in a dense forest. Sunlight filtered through the canopy above, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor.Confusion gave way to panic as I heard the distant hum of hoverbikes and the shout of Synod Agents. "Target acquired! Maxine Wilson, surrender!"My heart racing, I took off in a sprint, dodging low-hanging branches and leaping over roots. The agents closed in, their boots pounding the earth behind me."Stop, Maxine! You're under arrest!"I darted between trees, desperate to escape. Bullets whizzed past my ears, sending shivers down my spine.Suddenly, a chasm yawned before me – a deep, wide, and dark hole. My instincts screamed warning, but the agents were closing in.I hesitated, toes teetering on the edge. Fear wrestled with desperation.The agents were too close.I jumped.The world dropped away, and I plummeted into darkness. My stomach lurched, and

MAXINE I stepped out of the sleek, silver elevator and onto the sprawling campus of Eldridge University. The cityscape of New Eden stretched out before me, a tapestry of towering skyscrapers and holographic advertisements. As an NX-ZERO, I'd grown accustomed to the hum of advanced technology that permeated every aspect of life here while not being able to add anything new or have a major impact on whatever life we have built here after the great explosion.Eldridge University's main building, the Aurora Tower, shimmered with a lattice-like facade that seemed to shift and adapt to the changing light. I joined the flow of students streaming into the building, our footsteps echoing off the polished marble floors.My first class of the day was Cognitive Psychology. I slipped into the lecture hall, a circular room with holographic projectors and neural interface ports. The professor's voice greeted me, her words displayed on the augmented reality contact lenses I wore."Good morning, clas

NIKLAUS I stood alongside my mother, McKenna, leader of Vortex, in the heart of our underground headquarters. The soft hum of holographic displays and whispers of fellow rebels filled the air as she stood in front of the few hundreds we have been able to rescue and the ones who have been here with us."Friends, we gather at a critical juncture," McKenna began, surveying the room. "New Eden's descent into tyranny accelerates under Arlo's rule."As leader of Phoenix-5, Vortex's governing body, McKenna's words carried weight. Her eyes locked onto mine, and I saw a mix of concern and determination."Synod's agents roam unchecked, hunting down NX-5's, our kind" she continued. "Arlo's propaganda machine fuels fear and hatred. Our sources indicate a new, top-secret facility is under construction.""What's its purpose?" Zara, a skilled hacker, asked.McKenna's expression darkened. "We suspect it's designed to harness NX-5 energy. Arlo wants to exploit these individuals for his own gain."I c

HENRYWe just finished a mission where we lost an incel, Ian Satur whom was of great use to Synod we never really knew what happened underground and we could only hope to get promoted to know what it was. This time seemed different though, our supervisor had ordered a call for my team and I and it was odd, we never got two jobs in one night. I stood at attention, flanked by my team of Synod Agents, as our superior, Commander Pierce, briefed us on our next mission."Agents, we've received a report of a 21-year-old female exhibiting NX-5 characteristics," Commander Pierce announced, her eyes scanning the room.I felt a thrill of adrenaline, ready to take on the challenge."That's impossible," I thought to myself. "NX-5s manifest before 18."Commander Pierce continued, "Eyesphere surveillance captured her anomalies. Your mission is to apprehend and contain."She handed me a tablet with the target's file as the captain of my team. My heart sank as I saw the image.Max.My sister.I felt

MCKENNA The door slides open as a fellow Phoenix-5 member walked in with case file folders in his hand. He carefully places them on the desk as he opens it with a holographic display of a young female springing out from the file illuminating the room in blue. I stared at the classified report on my desk, trying to figure out what her situation was."NX-5 Sighting: Unknown Female, Late Teens, Exhibiting Advanced Abilities," Reginald said as he went to take a seat turning to the remaining 4 of us. NX-5s, individuals with extraordinary powers, were born with their abilities. They manifested before age 18, never after.This report defied everything we knew."Are you certain she just exhibited powers?" Gabriella, another member asked."Nope, judging from the photo, she doesn't even know what is happening to her, she looks scared, and all over the place. I am certain she is just showing," Reginald replied, adjusting his seat."McKenna do you have any idea why? I mean this is impossible,"

NIKLAUS I strode into the room, my eyes locking onto Max's fiery gaze. I could sense the tension emanating from her, and I knew I was the cause. I took a deep breath, preparing myself for the confrontation."Max, can we talk?" I asked, my voice low and even.She raised an eyebrow, her expression a perfect blend of indifference and annoyance. "What's there to talk about, Klaus?"I took a step closer, my eyes never leaving hers. "I want to know if you're still angry with me."Max let out a dismissive laugh, her shoulders shrugging slightly. "Angry? Klaus, you're not that important to me. I don't waste my emotions on people who don't deserve them."Her words stung, but I pressed on. "I understand that I hurt you, and for that, I'm truly sorry. But I was hoping... maybe we could start over. Be friends, at least...I admit my mistake and I am very sorry, especially since you gave us the solution to our current...... problem."Max's expression turned glacial, her voice dripping with disdain

ELEANOR I stood in a nicely lit room, surrounded by a group of strangers who, like me, had been hired as cleaners for Synod. We were about to undergo our training, and I could feel a sense of anticipation and nervousness in the air.The instructor, a tall, imposing figure with a stern expression, stood before us. "Welcome, cleaners," he said, his voice firm. "You are about to embark on a journey that requires vigilance, secrecy, and wit. You will be tasked with disposing of... materials that are sensitive in nature. It is imperative that you understand the gravity of your role and the importance of discretion."He led us through a series of steps, each one designed to drill into us the importance of secrecy and caution. We were shown how to handle sensitive materials, how to navigate the facility without drawing attention to ourselves, and how to respond to unexpected situations.But it wasn't just about the practical aspects of the job. The instructor also emphasized the importance

SHANEI sat in front of my computer, my eyes scanning the lines of code as I worked to hack into the Synod system. My goal was to approve Eleanor's resume, to make sure she got the job as a cleaner. It was a risk, I knew, but I had to do everything I could to help her get inside.My fingers flew across the keyboard as I worked, my mind racing with the possibilities. I had to be careful, had to make sure I didn't leave any traces of my hack. Synod's security was top-notch, and if they suspected even for a moment that someone had breached their system, they would lock down tighter than a drum.I worked quickly, my heart pounding in my chest. I navigated through the system, avoiding the security traps and firewalls that were designed to keep people like me out. Finally, I reached the database of job applicants, and I quickly located Eleanor's resume.I approved it, making sure to cover my tracks as I did so. I deleted any logs of my activity, making it look like the approval had come fro
The Nexus Point CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE
ELEANOR I sat across from Shane, his eyes locked intensely on mine. "I need your help, Eleanor," he said, his voice low and urgent. "I need more eyes inside Synod. I need to know what's going on, what they're planning."I nodded, my mind racing with the implications. I had always been willing to do whatever it took to help my children, and if that meant helping Shane, then so be it."I'm in," I said, my voice firm. "What do you need me to do?"Shane's expression turned serious. "It's not going to be easy, Eleanor. It's risky. If we're caught, we could get killed."I felt a shiver run down my spine, but I didn't hesitate. I was willing to do whatever it took to help Shane, to help Max. My daughter was still out there, still in danger, and I would do anything to keep her safe."I'm willing to take that risk," I said, my voice steady. "I'll do whatever it takes to help you, to help Max."Shane's eyes locked on mine, and for a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of surprise. But then, his

HENRYI sat across from Cora, trying to focus on the mission briefing in front of us. But my eyes kept drifting back to her, taking in the way her hair fell in loose waves down her back, the way her eyes sparkled as she spoke.We'd been working together for a while now, and I had to admit, I was starting to enjoy her company, I always have in all honesty. She was smart, resourceful, and had a quick wit that always left me smiling.As we worked, I found myself stealing subtle glances at her, trying to catch her eye and flirt a little. I knew it was low-key getting on her nerves, but I couldn't help myself. There was something about Cora that drew me in, made me want to push her buttons and see how she'd react.Cora, for her part, was trying to stay calm, but I could see the tension in her shoulders, the way her eyes narrowed slightly as she met my gaze. She was trying to keep me at arm's length, but I could sense a spark of attraction beneath the surface.As we worked, our banter becam

MAXINE I lay in my bed, my body still recovering from the exertion of my training session. I had just drifted off to sleep when I heard a knock at the door. I groggily got out of bed and made my way to the door, opening it to find Klaus standing in the hallway."Hey, I just wanted to check on you," he said, his eyes scanning my face. "How are you feeling?"I shrugged, trying to play off the fatigue that still lingered in my body. "I'm fine. Just a little tired."Klaus nodded, his expression serious. "Max, I need to talk to you about something. I've been thinking, and I don't think it's a good idea for you to join Phoenix-4."I felt a surge of frustration at his words. "What are you talking about, Klaus? I've already made up my mind. I'm joining Phoenix-4, and nothing you say is going to change that."Klaus's expression turned stern. "Max, listen to me. You're not ready for this. You're still learning to control your powers, and Phoenix-4 is not a place for beginners. It's a high-risk
The Nexus Point CHAPTER FIFTY
MCKENNA I just finished checking on Max as I was told of her outburst earlier today, Klaus was not looking very pleased with me at all and I too was beginning to blame myself for what had happened. I stood before Klaus, his eyes blazing with anger and accusation. "You're the one who's been pushing her too hard, Mother," he spat, his voice venomous. "You're the one who's responsible for her outbursts."I felt a pang of guilt and regret. Klaus was right. I had been pushing Max to her limits, trying to accelerate her training and get her ready for the missions ahead. But I had forgotten the delicacy of her powers, the fragility of her control."Klaus, I'm sorry," I said, my voice soft and contrite. "I was wrong to push her so hard. I should have taken a more gradual approach, given her more time to develop her skills and control her powers."Klaus's expression didn't change, but I could sense a slight softening in his demeanor. "You were being selfish, Mother," he said, his voice still
