CHAPTER 13 The Waiting Game. The headquarters felt unusually quiet that morning. Too quiet. Maya hunched over her laptop, staring at the mirrored codes Dennis had helped her set up in the early stages. Something felt off, but good off. Her stomach churned as she realized what it was. “They’re noticing something,” she whispered. “The Architects… they can’t touch the code. It’s like… like there’s a piece missing from the beginning. Something they never saw.” Adrian, pacing near the door, stopped mid-step. “Show me.” Maya pointed to the carefully split and hidden mirrored fragments. “This. Denise helped me do this from the start. They… they’re trying to hijack it like before, but it’s not working. They can’t control it. They can’t break in.” Denise leaned over, frowning at her laptop. “It’s nearly impossible,” she said slowly. “Once a mirror is created at the earliest stage, before the code goes public, tracking it… hijacking it… almost impossible."
