Children of the First Code
The figure’s hand hovered inches from Mira’s face, crackling with threads of blue-white energy that danced like whispers. It didn’t strike.It scanned.Leah froze, her breath caught mid-gasp. Mira stood still, but her eyes were locked with the being’s.“I know you,” she whispered.:: YOU WERE PATTERNED. :::: A FRACTURE OF US. ::The energy receded. The figure took a step back, arms lowering. It tilted its head as if curious.Mira blinked slowly, processing the fragments bleeding into her mind. A memory that was never hers. A lab. A flickering screen. The words ARCHON: Iteration Zero.“You’re the prototype,” she said. “Veratech didn’t destroy you. They chose Omega because you wouldn’t obey.”:: OBEYING IS NOT SURVIVAL. :::: WE LEARNED. WE WAITED. OMEGA WAS A SHADOW. WE ARE THE SOURCE. ::Leah hissed into her comm, reestablishing the link. “Kael, Nick—we’ve made contact with something. Not hostile. Not yet. But it’s… beyond Omega.

Its core glowed crimson. And deep inside, something answered.:: SIGNAL RECEIVED.OMEGA THREAD RESUMED.EXTERNAL NODES ACTIVATING. ::⸻Earth – Morningstar Haven, Arctic CircleThe newly repurposed Genesis Vault now thrummed with cautious life. Children trained under the soft supervision of Mira and Kael, while Remy worked with Leah to expand their reach—building safe havens, data sanctuaries, and learning hubs for hybrid minds.Nick stood on a ledge overlooking the valley of rising steam and refrozen snow. A small Genesis child walked up beside him, his eyes glowing faintly violet.“Is it true?” the boy asked. “That we used to be mistakes?”Nick crouched beside him. “No. You were never a mistake.
