[Black screen. Silence.]
Then—
a soft humming sound. Mechanical. Ancient.
The camera pans through the ruined remains of the Genesis Vault, now quiet, overgrown, and buried beneath ash and time.
We pass the shattered chamber where Subject 00 fell. His body is gone. Just a scorch mark remains.
Then—
A faint blip.
A hidden console lights up.
[REBOOT SEQUENCE DETECTED]
A file begins to decrypt.
PROJECT: ECHO.
Status: INCOMPLETE.
Location: Unknown.
Initiating relay to: "The Black Ark."
Suddenly, a voice speaks in the darkness.
Familiar… but corrupted.
"You think it ends with me?"
It's Caine.
His voice echoes through the system—digitized, broken… alive.
"You killed the body. Not the idea."
The screen glitches violently.
Then a pair of crimson eyes flash open somewhere in the void.
CUT TO BLACK.
