Chapter 40 - Page 39

**INT. POWER STATION SUBLEVEL - CONTINUOUS**

Valentine rushes toward the pedestal, which pulses with energy. The device is complex, with multiple crystals and energy conduits. He examines it quickly.

VALENTINE 

How do we disable this without causing a city-wide blackout?

ELARA 

We need to reroute the energy through the backup systems. But it'll require precise timing.

Chronos enforcers begin entering the chamber from multiple entrances. Valentine pulls out a device from his belt.

VALENTINE 

Mia, can you create a temporal distraction?

MIA (V.O.) 

Attempting now. Activating localized temporal field.

He activates the device. A shimmering field expands from him, causing the enforcers to stumble, their forms flickering. In that moment of confusion, Valentine lunges for the control console nearby.

VALENTINE 

Now, Elara! Reroute the energy!

Elara rushes to a console, her fingers flying across the controls. The pedestal begins to glow brighter, energy surging through it.

ELARA 

It's working! But the surge is stronger than expected!
