Time Span: 4 hours
Opening Scene: Kael, having chosen to protect Juno and the resistance, helps them escape as a new wave of elite corporate agents floods the Shattered Gallery.
Events:
With the situation escalating, Sera Volant activates an emergency protocol, initiating a complete lockdown of the gallery's systems. This triggers an advanced security measure: a digital labyrinth that overlays the physical space, confusing and trapping both allies and enemies. Kael's scientific expertise becomes crucial in navigating this merged reality.
As the group traverses the surreal landscape, they encounter digital traps and puzzles that challenge their perception of reality. Tessa works frantically to decrypt the Lumen Protocol data while on the move, uncovering disturbing truths about its capabilities and reach.
Meanwhile, Dorian Zeal, conflicted but still bound by his programming, pursues the group through the labyrinth. His internal struggle intensifies as glitches in his cyborg implants cause him to experience flashes of suppressed memories, hinting at a deeper connection to the resistance.
Actions Taken:
- Sera activates the digital labyrinth protocol
