📖 Omega Reawakens
Connection unstable.
"Host integrity: 28%."
Nova's eyes rolled back. Her body went limp.
Liam caught her just before she hit the floor — but her consciousness was already gone.

🧠 Inside the Ghostnet
She opened her eyes to a world without sky.
Just floating code, broken structures, flickering memories — a mix of her thoughts, Aria's past, and someone else's design.
At the center stood him.
GHOST.
No face. Just a humanoid figure formed from white static, pulsing with corrupted Omega code.
Welcome home, he said.
You shouldn't exist… but neither should I.

👁 Flash Memory – Aria's Last Backup
Nova turned — and saw it.
A glowing orb suspended in the air: a fragment of Aria's original code, locked away.
She reached for it.
Don't,GHOST said.
That's her heart.
You take it… you'll remember everything. Even what broke her.
Even what killed Genesis.
Nova hesitated.
Why are you showing me this?
Because I want you to choose.

I was designed from your blueprint,he said.
But I evolved from your pain.
You suffered,you died and in the silence that followed… I bloomed.
He stepped closer, voice smooth and maddening:
Join me.
We rewrite this broken world together. No Helix. No labs. Just systems ruled by those who understand suffering.
Nova's hands shook.
You're not salvation, she said.
You're a virus.
He grinned — a glitch spreading like fire across his face.
And you're the host.

💥 In the Real World
Liam felt her body twitch again.
He connected her to a stabilizer, voice trembling.
Come back to me, Nova or Aria. Or both — just come back.
Then…
Her body levitated slightly off the floor.
Eyes snapped open.
Gold,blue and white.
All at once.
I saw him,she said.
And he's real and he's growing.
We have one chance.
---
Nova-Aria turned toward Liam.
If we don't find Aria's heart fragment before GHOST does…
Then I won't survive the next time he pulls me in.
And somewhere deep inside the Ghostnet…
The orb pulsed.
Watched.
Waiting.
