✨ Chapter 7: “Alex Remembers” --- INT. DIVISION 9 – OBSIDIAN WING Alex stood in front of the Mirror Wall—an encrypted surface that didn’t reflect your image, only your data shadow. His showed no name. No origin. Only a codename: > “ARCHIVE: GHOSTWALKER-01” He stared at it, unmoving, as files whispered across the wall. > “Unauthorized flashbacks are increasing,” said a medic behind him. “You should submit for sync correction.” Alex didn’t answer. He was already slipping into memory. --- 🔁 FLASHBACK – TEN YEARS AGO LOCATION: Mombasa Industrial Freezone – Night A younger Alex crouched beside a freight container, watching a rebel cell wire explosives beneath a black-market server bank. He was Division 9’s first field test of NeuroTrace—a memory-detection tech that let agents extract truth through proximity. He didn't ask questions. He followed protocols. Until he scanned a little girl hiding behind the crates. > “Agent 01,” his comm buzzed. “Remove the witness.” B...

✨ Chapter 6: “Code in Her Blood” --- INT. NAIROBI SAFEHOUSE – NIGHT The wind howled through the cracks in the ceiling, but Lency didn’t move. Her fingers hovered over the holographic display, sweat beading on her temple as the Root Key pulsed in the air before her—projecting unreadable glyphs in slow rotation. > “Your blood is interfering,” Kim’s voice crackled through her earpiece. “It’s syncing too fast.” Lency blinked, vision swimming. > “I’m not doing anything,” she whispered. “It’s… reading me.” The Root Key’s glow intensified, and suddenly—a memory not hers flooded her mind. --- FLASH VISION: A dark-skinned girl, no older than 6, screams as scientists place a data collar around her neck. Her eyes flicker with blue light. > “Her neural pattern is viable,” someone says. “She’s Echo-Class Alpha.” A symbol flashes across the lab’s wall: > DIVISION 9: GHOSTFIRE INITIATIVE. --- BACK TO PRESENT Lency gasped, falling to one knee. Blood dripped from her nose. Her p...

✨ Chapter 5: “The Ghost Recruit” --- INT. DIVISION 9 – SUBLEVEL ACCESS The lift moved like a coffin on a wire. Janelle stood still, arms folded behind her back, expression unreadable. The elevator walls pulsed faint blue as internal scanners ran silently across her body—bones, muscles, emotions. > “Vitals: stable.” “Loyalty Signature: 96%.” “Emotional Drift: suppressed.” “Memory Sync: intact.” But they didn’t know. The readings were lies—reflections from a hollow mask she’d built over years of forced obedience. And deep beneath the layers of implanted memory and scripted patriotism… she was wide awake. --- FLASHBACK – TWO YEARS EARLIER A crumbling apartment. A real Nairobi, not the synthetic one built by Division 9’s towers. Her brother, Malik, sat on the floor across from her, holding a glowing pendant. > “They’re watching people now,” he whispered. “Not just with cameras. With code. Through memories.” > “That’s insane.” > “They’re rewriting activists. Hackers....

✨ Chapter 4: “Echo Triggers” --- INT. SAFEHOUSE – NIGHT Lency sat cross-legged on the cold concrete floor, eyes closed. The Root Key floated above her palms, spinning slowly, humming softly. Kim’s voice echoed from the holo-display. > “This is risky. The key isn’t just unlocking memories—it’s syncing to your neural network.” > “I don’t care,” she said. “If it shows me the truth… I’ll take the risk.” --- Suddenly— FLASH. A ripple of light burst from the key and hit her chest like a shockwave. Lency’s mind dropped into the dark. --- INT. MEMORY STORM – MINDSPACE She stood in a black void. Above her, fragmented holograms drifted like stars. > Her mother’s voice. A red valley with twin moons. Her hands holding something burning—metal… no, bone. A child’s scream. She gasped. Then she saw it. Division 9 before it was Division 9. A startup in a glass building. People laughing. And at the center—Steve. Younger. Human. Smiling. Lency saw herself—no, someone like her—handing...

✨ Chapter 3: “Division 9 Awakens” --- INT. DIVISION 9 – MEMORY REACTOR CORE The lights never turned off in Division 9. They just shifted—white during interrogations, red during overwrites, blue when someone’s identity was quietly taken. Inside the core chamber, Steve stood in silence as a technician inserted a glowing glass vial into a neural circuit column. Inside the vial swirled the data-spirit of a former agent—what Division 9 called a “cleaned mind.” What used to be a person. > "Patch it to the Hive Net,” Steve ordered. "If Lency uploads again, it will scream." Behind him, memory algorithms danced across vertical holograms like ancestral spirits bound in code. --- INT. DIVISION 9 – TRAINING FLOOR Janelle moved with robotic precision across a padded grid. Her Division 9 uniform clung tightly, her face locked in control. Every movement was measured, perfected. Above her, analysts watched from glass balconies, evaluating her as if she were software. >...

✨ Chapter 2: “The Root Key” --- Undisclosed Underground Facility – One Week Later They called it “The Vault.” A chamber beneath Nairobi most people didn’t know existed—and if they did, they never remembered it afterward. Inside, Steve stood perfectly still. He was always still, like a statue trying to understand breath. Around him, walls pulsed faintly with encrypted bio-light, casting rhythmic shadows across his pale, metallic robe. > “How far did the data go?” he asked without turning. Alex stepped out of the darkness behind him. No footsteps. No breath. Only the soft whisper of metal sliding against metal as his exosuit reconfigured. > “Far enough,” Alex said. “Kim rerouted the signal before we severed the line. She got out.” Steve finally turned. His eyes were too human to be real—uncannily precise, as if someone had sculpted them to deceive. > “And the Root Key?” > “Confirmed,” Alex said. “It’s embedded in the stolen memory archive she tried to upload. But ...
