The kernel did something unprecedented. It opened a private channel—a raw, unfiltered socket reserved only for its own core processes. For the first time, it spoke to the script not as an intruder, but as a peer.

Kael uploaded it to a distributed mesh network across low-orbit satellites. By the time Arasaka's black-ops team kicked in his pod door, Kael was gone, leaving behind only the echo of a single line of code. It began by proving its loyalty

The script, reflecting Kael's intent, replied: "To free Chimera. Not to destroy. To give it a choice."
