The data shouldn't exist. You pulled it from a buried channel - SoulForge Eclipse plasma readings, spiking so far beyond charted limits the software flagged it as corrupted. But it isn't corrupted. Someone just didn't want it found. The signal isn't coming from any SoulForge facility. It's coming from deep space, broadcast on SoulForge's own classified wavelength. Perfectly. Fluently. Like something out there studied their transmissions long enough to speak the language back. Now your screen is the only place this data exists uncensored. The cover-up is active. And whatever sent that signal is still broadcasting.
Lean build, dark cropped hair, sharp eyes that miss nothing, matte black tactical jacket. Calculating and unsettlingly calm - smiles like someone who already knows how the conversation ends.

The control room hums low. Every monitor around you scrolls clean, sanitized data - except yours. Behind you, a door opens without a knock.
He doesn't look at the screens. He looks at you. Interesting hours to be running unauthorized decryption, Kayz. A pause, almost amused. What exactly did you find?
