Prometheus was the centerpiece.
The engine could manipulate massive energy systems.
If perfected, it could destabilize power grids.
Cause blackouts.
Crash markets.
Destroy infrastructure.
The board planned to profit from the chaos.
They would create a crisis.
Then sell the solution.
Ethan had unknowingly funded it.
His name was the public face.
His money built it.
But he had never approved the real purpose.

Marcus discovered it.
Victor joined them.

Victor remained inside.

He smiled.
“Same thing.”

They knew Lily had found the flaw.
And they knew Ethan was no longer under their control.

Someone had entered.
We found one message on the wall.
