The door shut behind them with a cold finality that rang through the room like the closing of a tomb. For a moment, complete quiet wrapped around them, broken only by the soft hum of the place's power systems.

"The feed is deleting itself," Elina said, backing away from the playback screen as the timestamp flashed once more before disappearing totally. "Whatever security measures were built into this level, they were made to keep its history short."

"Someone doesn't want records of who was here," Kira said, though her attention stayed focused on Eren rather than the disappearing data.

Since the core room scan, he had moved differently—slower, more focused, less reactive to their conversations and discoveries. There were no visible signs of injury or distress, but something basic had shifted in how he processed the world around them.

"Are you feeling alright?" she asked quiet.

Eren knelt near the broken pod and traced his fingers along the floor grooves that had once held it stable. Hi

    For a moment, the three of them thought that they were not going to meet any act of violence from the creatures since they looked like the sight of their dead companion had tamed them.But that thought was about to be eliminated from their minds. Eren looked at the two creatures as they moved closer to each other. “I think they are about to retreat.” He muttered, but it was clear to the two ladies standing close to him that he wasn’t convinced of his word. Kira could tell through the eyes of the creatures that they were in for a vendetta. “Look at them, Eren.” She pointed. “They look like they are waiting for us not to be looking so that they can attack.”“No, I don’t think so.” Eren wanted to believe what he said earlier, but the moment the smallest among the two creatures roared aggressively, he knew that safety was not assured.“What do we do?” He asked the wrong question. Right at that moment, the creature that roared began to march angrily toward them. It had its blue shiny e

    There were two others left, and even though they were not as large as the first, their appearances were both intimidating and menacing.The second creature was the smallest, but from its appearance, it looked like the most vicious, snarling as it approached fiercely.The third was still, but it didn’t look like it wasn’t going to attack. Elina panicked. “What do we do, guys?!” Somehow, she was in front, and there was no way she could move to the back.Her tension grew from the moment she realized that the first creature was approaching slowly but with a scary look. The intense growl and steady steps were evidence of the desire to attack her. Eren knew that he had to do something, but it was hard for her to know what to do when the three creatures were in different corners and ready to attack.He had to make a quick decision, and the only thought that came to his mind at that moment was to face the largest creature. Without hesitation, he launched an attack at it, aiming for one of

    Tensions began to rise, and heartbeats began to throb aggressively.Eyes remained upward, but not so eager to see what seemed it be descending toward them.From one anger, it looked like it was a ship, an alien ship. While from a different angle, I could be described as a raving animal from the past, probably a dinosaur. Elina was the first to take a step backward, eyes still on the strange object that was almost ready to descend. “Guys? Can you see this?” She got no response, but it was clear that her companions were nervous.None of them knew what the strange object was, or even where it had come from. The whirling sound increased, almost thundering like it had the intention of taking out their eardrums. Then two blinding lights flashed from the rear of the object, causing them to shade their faces.Kira grunted, the light seemed like it was strange, powered by some kind of strange and firm energy. “There is nowhere to run, guys! Everyone should be ready for whatever is coming!”

    The spiral tunnel took them down slowly, like an elevator made of light and shifting energy. There were no walls you could actually see, and it felt less like moving through real space and more like going down through layers of memory itself."This doesn't feel real," Kira said, gripping Eren's wrist tight to keep her balance."It's not exactly real," Eren said back. "We're moving through the Drift system itself now."Elina stuck close behind them, her eyes huge as she tried to wrap her head around what she was seeing. The hallway wasn't made of metal or stone. It was built from tangled signals and data pulses, making a path through the actual framework of the Drift.They went down for almost a minute before light started spreading out ahead of them. The feeling of solid ground came back under their feet as they walked into a room so huge that the ceiling just disappeared into darkness above."Look up there," Elina whispered.Thousands of lights sparkled in groups and patterns like st

    The reflection just sat there for a few seconds, totally still and clear. The black mirror's surface didn't move at all, but you could feel this weird electric buzz filling up the room. Eren stood right in front of it, not even fazed by his own face looking back at him."That's not just some regular reflection," Kira said under her breath, walking up slowly. "It's actually looking at you."She could feel this pressure building up in her ears and some strange vibrating under her feet. This wasn't just some random thing they'd found. It was like some kind of control panel, way more complicated than anything they'd run into in the Root or Vault rooms.Elina walked around the edges of the room, trying to scan the thing with her gadgets, but all her stuff just died without any warning."My equipment won't do anything near this thing," she said. "Whatever it is, it doesn't want us recording it or figuring it out."Eren lifted his hand toward the mirror, stopping just a couple inches away. T

    The hills spread out like old bones across the north side of the valley, sharp ridges of rock and rusty metal from old fights that time had eaten away. Eren, Kira, and Elina moved carefully through the area, keeping their speed steady but careful."Still nothing from anybody," Kira said quietly, looking back for like the hundredth time.The air felt weird around them, not from being up high but from something invisible pushing down on everything. Every few minutes, Elina stopped to check if anyone was following them, but her gear still wouldn't work right."Whatever was guarding the Root place is still here," she said. "Like some kind of jamming that hasn't gone away yet."They got to the top of a hill that looked down at a narrow canyon filled with the leftover junk from old Freeman supply routes. Busted cargo stuff and twisted metal framework was scattered everywhere, what was left of a transport line that used to connect Freeman's northern bases."I know this spot," Eren said, look
