The air inside the facility felt colder than before.
Not just because of the controlled room temperature.
But because of Arman Virelli's final words.
"This is about survival."
The phrase hung between them like a threat not yet fully understood.
Ethan stood tall before the man.
His gaze unwavering.
"Don't try to twist the story."
His voice was low.
Yet sharp.
Arman was not offended.
Instead, he looked like a professor facing a stubborn student.
"I'm not twisting anything."
He stepped closer to the large screen.
Tapped it gently.
Energy graphs began to move.
"Helios is the solution."
Daniel frowned.
"A solution for what?"
Arman looked at each of them one by one.
"For what is coming."
Leonard Graves crossed his arms.
"A very vague statement."
Arman smiled slightly.
"Vague for those who haven't seen the data."
Ethan stepped closer.
"If you want us to believe you…"
he paused for a moment.
"…stop talking like a scientist and start talking like a human being."
