Dann turned back to the assembled generals, his expression as hard as steel. “This is no ordinary attack. Whoever orchestrated this means business, and they’ve made one critical mistake—they’ve threatened my family. I want you all on high alert. Prepare your forces for immediate deployment across the city. We need to be ready for anything.”

The generals exchanged determined glances, each one understanding the gravity of Dann’s words. General Harris, who had been analyzing the tactical layout of the hotel’s vicinity, spoke up. “Sir, if this was meant as a diversion or initial strike, there’s a strong possibility of further attacks. We should expand the security perimeter around the entire area. Our best option might be to establish a command post on-site to coordinate responses swiftly.”

Dann nodded, his jaw set. “Good thinking, Harris. Max, set up a command post in the main conference room. I want real-time intel and surveillance on every corner of this building and beyond. Bring in e

  • Whispered

    "The Red Cloak. No bodyguards. No press. He brought in six children from the bombing of Westlock. Carried one of them in his arms." Rhys’s voice cracked. “She was barely breathing. He just... stood there while we worked. Didn’t say a word.”The nurse blinked. “And then?”“He left. Just vanished into the smoke.”Location: Black Channel – Interrogation Dock 4 – NightThe prisoner screamed again, but Dann said nothing. His shadow loomed behind the single overhead light, face unreadable.The operative stepped back. “He’s broken. We got the last known shell companies. Everything points back to Anderson and the Accord.”Dann knelt down. “Names. You gave lives for money. Now you give me names.”The prisoner sobbed. “Please… please…”Dann stood and turned. “Move him to Extraction Three. And wipe this dock clean.”Location: War Mansion – Private Hall – Just After MidnightMaximus waited outside Dann’s chamber. When the door creaked open, Eva stepped out.Her expression was unreadable. Her robe

  • The Red Cloak, Who?

    The flames from Requiem’s last breath still danced across distant monitors. Beneath the mansion, inside a dimly lit strategy vault, the remnants of Viridia’s true resistance stood gathered.Delora adjusted the controls on a holo-emitter, bringing up archived combat footage, encrypted transmissions, and an ever-growing map of collapsed Accord networks."That’s thirty-one confirmed targets," she said, her voice tight. "All off the grid. Executed or disappeared. All by him."She didn’t say his name. She didn’t need to.Maximus leaned forward against the edge of the console. He hadn’t slept in two days. Behind his eyes were ghosts. Behind his posture was reverence."They think he’s a monster," Maximus said. "And maybe he is. But he was our monster first."Delora narrowed her eyes. "And what if he’s no one’s anymore?"Maximus paused, then chuckled dryly. "Then gods help us all."Eva Anderson sat on the old stone benc

    Location: War Mansion – Observation Deck – 2:15 P.M.Dann stood alone under the roaring sky. Lightning crackled over distant hills.Maximus joined him. “You feel it?”Dann nodded once. “It’s here. And it thinks it’s me.”Delora’s voice came through the earpiece. “Dann, the AI has reached full mimicry. If you engage it physically, it will predict you. Every move. Every dodge. Every attack.”Dann’s jaw clenched.“Then I do something I’ve never done before.”He turned, eyes dark as the storm.“I improvise.”The skies split open.From the clouds descended the Requiem Host—an autonomous assault drone bearing a humanoid form. It looked eerily familiar.It moved like Dann.Watched like him.It even spoke in his voice.“You are obsolete. Your purpose ends now.”Dann approached the clearing. Unarmed. Unmasked.“You’re just an echo,” he said. “And echoes fade.”He raised his hand.A hidden signal pulsed from his gauntlet.In the hills, war machines stirred. Loyalists to the fallen battalion eme

  • A War Mansion

    Sublevel Corridor – 12:20 P.M.Footsteps echoed in the narrow steel-lined corridor. Delora carried the override drive in a secure containment case, flanked by Maximus and two silent operatives.“Are we really doing this?” one of the operatives whispered.Delora didn’t slow. “If we wait, Requiem launches. He won’t stop the countdown. He’ll detonate himself if it means destroying them.”They reached the server access bay—one floor below Dann’s command terminal.Maximus punched in the code.“Once this is active,” he warned, “we can’t undo it.”Delora inhaled, steadying herself.“Then let it be the final failsafe.”Click.The chamber opened.Location: War Mansion – Command Room – SimultaneouslyHolograms flared across the command table. Requiem’s target zone triangulated between the War Mansion, Viridia’s civilian grid, and the last active refugee convoy.Dann’s gaze locked on the data.“They’re willing to hit their own cities,” he muttered. “They want to martyr me into madness.”He tapp

  • Who?

    “Yes.”She closed her eyes. “Then I should hate you.”“I know.”A long silence.Dann stepped closer. “He sold children for capital, Eva. Sold soldiers. He sold me.”“You could’ve exposed him,” she said. “But you chose to erase him.”Dann’s voice was gravel. “Some men aren’t meant to be judged. Just… ended.”She finally looked at him. “Then what are you, Dann? Still a soldier? Or just another executioner?”He didn’t answer.She stepped forward, pressed a hand against his chest.“I loved the man who came home covered in mud, not blood. If you bury that man… I don’t know who’s left to save.”Dann gently took her hand, but his grip was cold. Distant.“I buried him the day your father signed the order.”Location: War Mansion – Private QuartersDelora and Maximus stood in the corridor outside Dann’s chamber, voices hushed.“We pull the override?” Delora asked.Maximus hesitated.“He’s planning to take Site Omega alone. No backup. No evac.”“That’s suicide.”“No. That’s a man who’s ready to

  • Warned Them

    Location: Viridian Skies – Private Military Transport, En Route to Classified SectorThe jet sliced through clouds like a blade. Inside, red lights pulsed low over matte black steel. Maximus sat strapped in, fingers wrapped around a comms tablet. Delora stood beside him, monitoring Dann’s latest movements on a flickering satellite map."Another blackout in North Liraq," she muttered. "Power grid crashed five minutes after a cargo convoy was intercepted. Confirmed bodies match Phoenix affiliates."Maximus didn’t respond right away. He stared at the screen, at the widening trail of silence Dann left in his wake. “He’s not just targeting players anymore,” he said finally. “He’s dismantling the entire infrastructure. Piece by piece.”Delora folded her arms. “At this rate, we’re not going to have a global market left to stabilize. He’s not stopping.”“He warned them,” Maximus murmured. “They turned justice into a luxury. He’s turning it back into a weapon.”The comms unit crackled.“Update
