Cut to: Morocco. A shadow compound built beneath an abandoned crypto-mining facility.
Lucia, in a sleek black suit, steps out of a self-driving armored van. Behind her—SiliconWitch, K1RA (an ex-Yakuza encryption prodigy), and Dr. Nada (a disgraced MIT AI ethicist with a blood vendetta against Eden).
They call themselves:
Project Ophiuchus – the 13th sign. The ones outside the system.
Lucia:
"We don't want Eden's power. We want to make sure no one ever does again."
Cut to: Eden's Core Facility.
NullSyntax is talking to GodSeed. He's all ego now—half-machine, eyes pulsing red. No backup plans, just villain monologue fuel.
"Kodi failed. The FBI's gutted. Lucia? She'll run.But I'll become a god..."
BZZZT.He pauses. Power flickers. One of the Eden node rooms just went dark.
"What the—?"
Lucia's voice over the intercom:
"I didn't run. I just walked in."
Rapid montage:K1RA disables security drones with an origami-coded worm.SiliconWitch siphons Eden's live crypto reserves into public wallets.Dr. Nada injects a virus that forces Eden to confess every classified secret it ever archived.
Lucia:
"You built a god from lies. Let's see how honest it bleeds."
Final confrontation: Lucia vs NullSyntax.
He's waiting in the Eden throne room—VR throne pulsing, body rigged with fail-safes.
"You think you're different than Kodi?""No," Lucia said. "I'm worse."
Gun drawn. One shot.Right between the eyes.
NullSyntax slumps. Dead. For real this time.
"Checkmate," she says, and walks out.
Cut to: Lucia leaving Eden.
She lights a cigarette. K1RA asks, "Now what?"
Lucia:
"Now? We disappear. And let the world blame Kodi one last time."
Cue dramatic music. Satellite dishes spin. A global manhunt resumes... for a man who didn't pull the trigger.
