Location: Mobile HQ – En Route to the Atlantic Coast
Aria sat in silence, eyes locked on a black drive recovered from Project Nyx. On it: coordinates encrypted behind a phrase Evelyn once used in a lullaby.
> “The raven flies where the mirror cracks.”
Nova decoded the phrase within minutes.
Offshore. Somewhere in the Atlantic.
Project Crow was real. And active.

Scene – Mission Briefing
Ash unfolded a digital map across the van’s table.
“Floating fortress. Moving every 36 hours. Radio-silent. Surveillance-proof. Serena’s ghost ship.”
“Crow Island,” Vera corrected. “Disguised as an abandoned naval science vessel.”
Kade leaned against the wall. “And we’re walking into a lab designed by someone worse than Tier Zero.”
Aria stood. “We’re not walking.”
She pulled up a tactical drop plan.
“We’re flying in blind. No backup. No failsafes. Just us.”
Nova smiled. “Reckless. I like it.”

Scene – Crow Island Arrival
The team parachuted onto the vessel under cover of a storm.
Lightning struck just as Aria landed.
It wasn’t a ship. It was a city — metal and bone stitched together by madness.
The Crow insignia loomed over rusted doors. Cameras followed every move, but no alarms blared.
“She knows we’re here,” Kade said.
“She’s waiting,” Aria replied.

Scene – The Crow Hall
Inside, they found something unexpected: children.
Dozens of them. Teenagers like Aria. Trained, silent, eyes void of fear.
Nova knelt beside one girl. “She’s barely thirteen…”
“They’re not soldiers,” Aria whispered. “They’re echoes.”
Each one embedded with partial neural blueprints — fragments of Evelyn, of Aria herself.
It wasn’t a lab.
It was a library of minds.

Scene – Serena’s Message
The inner sanctum held a throne of servers and a single recording. Serena’s voice cut like a scalpel.
> “Aria. Welcome home.”
> “You inherited Evelyn’s heart. But not her will.”
> “I built Crow for a world that doesn’t ask permission. These children aren’t weapons. They’re a generation designed to never kneel.”
> “You want justice? Justice is obsolete.”
> “What we need is control.”
> “Come find me. If you still think you can stop me.”

Final Scene – Dark Reflection
Later, Aria stood alone in front of a mirror inside the captain’s quarters.
She stared at herself, remembering Evelyn’s voice.
> “Shatter the mirror, not the truth.”
She clenched her fists.
If Serena wanted control…
Aria would give her chaos.
