Their new HQ was a derelict arcade in the Red Circuit, its Pac-Man cabinets repurposed into servers. Here, Alex reprogrammed Nexus, stripping its surveillance layers and weaving in open-source transparency. The AI learned from users with their consent, decentralizing data into untraceable fragments. It was beautiful. Revolutionary. Dangerous. Victor Kane, Lumonās CEO, had labeled Alex "The Ghost" in a press conference, hiring mercenaries and bounty hunters to reclaim what was stolen.
