She found a decommissioned maintenance drone in the port authority's salvage logs—an old inspection unit with a reinforced chassis and a four-hour battery. She patched her avatar into its control systems, synced the optical sensors, and stepped into the physical world for the first time in six weeks.

Deep in the offline sub-basement of a defunct server farm, Nora sat in a jury-rigged haptic chair, her temples wired to a prototype she'd seized years ago and never logged into evidence: the , a neural-bridge AI designed to let a human consciousness pilot a synthetic avatar. The tech was black-budget, unregulated, and illegal as hell. It was also her only way back in.

She swept his legs, pinned his gun hand under a titanium claw, and broadcast the entire scene—audio, video, location—to every open channel in the city.
