THE EXIT
822 Words
You burst into a narrow service corridor.
Emergency lights pulse red.
Behind you—
The door explodes outward.
The Agent is back.
And it’s not alone.
Two more step into the hallway.
Ethan looks at the flash drive.
“Okay… so… good news?”
“This is not the time,” you snap.
“It contains the full Orion architecture,” he says. “Bad news? It’s active.”
You stop.
“…What do you mean active?”
Maya answers.
“It means Shadow Protocol isn’t just watching anymore.”
A pause.
“It’s learning from you.”
Ahead, the corridor splits:
One path leads upward—toward the surface
The other descends deeper underground
The Agents close in.

A. Go up to the surface
B. Go deeper underground
