Rain slammed violently against the windows while red alarms flashed throughout the secured complex.
For several minutes now, the scientific sector had been completely locked down.
Metal doors had automatically sealed shut after an anomaly was detected inside one of the building’s most sensitive research rooms.
Behind the fog-covered glass, silhouettes in protective suits rushed between control screens while biological data continued to scroll across the monitors.
Numbers.
Analyses.
Unstable graphs.
And always the same flashing red line at the center of the screens:
PROTOCOL UNSTABLE
In the middle of the harsh white light, a man moved quickly between overturned workstations.
His breathing was short. Uneven.
In his hand, a USB drive.
Behind him, voices echoed through the locked corridors.
Orders.
Alarms.
Metallic impacts against the security doors.
The man finally reached a secondary room plunged into darkness. A few screens were still glowing despite the general alert.
Red warnings appeared across the scientific reports:
RISK OF SPREAD
RESTRICTED ACCESS
PROJECT EREBUS
For weeks, some of the researchers had begun to realize that the project went far beyond what they had been told.
At first, Erebus was supposed to revolutionize medicine.
Then everything changed.
Slowly.
Brutally.
A violent metallic удар echoed behind the locked door.
They were coming.
Without hesitation, the man plugged the USB drive into an old computer still connected to a secured external line.
The transfer started immediately.
12%.
19%.
27%.
The pounding against the door became louder.
Then a calm voice echoed through the speakers:
— The transfer must be stopped immediately.
The silence suddenly felt even heavier.
40%.
47%.
The lights flickered violently before several sectors were plunged back into the red darkness of the emergency alarms.
63%.
The man slowly raised his eyes toward the metal door now vibrating under repeated impacts.
And for the first time…
he understood one thing.
Someone was willing to kill to stop those files from leaving the laboratory.
