After the tension from the strange mark and the drone, the entire team was now fully alert.
Teaha yawned, still holding Lara's hand.
Kevin blinked at Nisa. "Wait… You have the same mark as Bihoo? That's insane!"
Mira, always the sharp one, pulled out her notebook.
"I knew you two had weird vibes. Jade glowing? Mysterious drones? C'mon. This is some destiny-level stuff."
Nisa: "That drone wasn't random. It was scanning us."
Suddenly, BEEP—BEEP
Mira's watch flickered. An unreadable encrypted message appeared, flashing coordinates.
Bihoo: "This location… it's outside the military zone. Sector-Black. That place's off-limits."
Kevin smirked: "Perfect. We're going."
The team suited up—Nisa tightened her hair, tied her jade at the waist. Bihoo kept glancing at her with half-worried, half-curious eyes. Something about her felt... familiar now.
Sector-Black – Midnight
The team moved through overgrown terrain, led by the signal's pulses. Trees whispered secrets as they walked.
Suddenly—
FWOOSH!
A hidden trap triggered—Mira barely dodged a net. Laser grids lit up the ground.
"Classic military misdirection," Teaha muttered. "They don't want anyone finding this place."
Lara activated her stealth boots and zipped ahead. "Found something!"
They gathered around a hidden bunker entrance—rusted but still active. The same bird-shaped insignia as the drone was carved into it.
Nisa touched it without thinking—her jade pulsed.
Door: CLICK.
The hatch opened.
Inside: maps, books, and a glowing console with images of children… six children.
Each one looked like them—same names. But the files were marked: "PROJECT UNIT-9 – Gen Code Experiment."
Everyone froze.
Bihoo: "That's not just coincidence."
Kevin: "We're... created?"
