"Cleansing Protocol: Aborted," the automated voice of the keep announced. "Primary ventilation fans entering reverse-cycle. Purging exhaust."

Xander roared as he traded blows with the old wolf. I scrambled to the terminal, my fingers flying across the ancient, physical keys. The data was disappearing—lines of gold turning into dead, grey zeros. It was a Memory Leak on a massive scale. "I can't restore it from the backup!" I cried, my eyes darting across the screen. "The backup is corrupted! I need a Live Feed!" I looked at the ship, then back at the glowing Pulse-Stone in the manifold room miles above us. I realized there was only one way.

Mama narrowed her eyes as she hit lightly on my back with the rolling pin, "At least respect your mother and don't curse in front of me." I huffed, I barely cursed but some people tended to grate on my nerves. Rolling my eyes, I let myself out of the bed, "Whoever this god is, we will make him eat his words. He is so gonna regret it." "Just don't go near him," Mama sighed as she watched me brush my teeth, "He is a Victor." My eyebrows scrunched as I met her eyes through the mirror, "The Victors?" She nodded. "Why would Victors come to our restaurant?" My voice was muffled as I looked back at her, "They're rich and super snobby. They don't eat in local eatella."

"The greenhouses rely on the subterranean geothermal cores. Increase the steam pressure from the lower vents." "We cannot!" another northern elder, a sharp-featured woman named Vanya, chimed in, her tone dripping with passive-aggressive malice. She stands up, leaning her hands on the dark wood. "The lower vents are fractured. The shockwave of Southern Fire you drove into the riverbed during your battle with Alpha Voron didn't just break his vanguard, Coralina.

"Corrupted?" I whispered. "Someone is tampering with the file," Maya said. "Someone tried to brute force it and damaged the reference file." "Mark," I spat. "His hackers." "Okay, listen to me," Maya said. "There is a failsafe. Your father always had a failsafe. Is there a secondary option? A pulse reader? A voice print?"

"Check the intake, Abram! The pressure is dropping and this whole goddamn deck is tilting!" Vane’s voice cracked, a jagged rasp against the roar of the seawater rushing through the punctured hull. He slammed his shoulder against a jammed lever, the rusted metal groaning but refusing to budge.

Elior shouted. The heavy thrum of the city’s external barier vanished. Sora felt the sudden shift in the air, a drop in pressure that made his ears pop. Outside, in the streets of Lunastre, the towering wall of blue energy that protected the spire flickered and died. For the first time in twenty years, the heart of the Corvin empire was vulnerable to the world. "Aidan, the internal elevator," Vardan growled, dragging the traitor toward the service hatch. "Tell me the override code or I’ll throw you into the cooling fans."

"Bu‍t Vi‌ctoria was⁠n't entirel⁠y lying. Th‌e‌ moment t​he Spire’s mai​n system wen‍t down, a‌n au‌tomated distress si‌gnal was sent to the V⁠ane security network.
