Episode 11 – The Silent Blade
In a hidden chamber beneath Lumora's control tower, Selene walks in and hands a dossier to Aarav.
> "She's ready.
Code name: Nyra."
Aarav looks at the file:
Trained in 9 languages
Cybernetic reflexes
Master assassin
History erased by Aarav himself
> "Send her in. No backup.
I want the Nexus to trust her."

Mission: Infiltrate Nexus Rings
Nyra's new identity?
A rogue tech-dealer named "Shade", known for stealing blueprints of forbidden weapons.
The Nexus contacts her within days, impressed by her "tech hacks" on mid-tier solar convoys.
They fly her to Nexus Station Korrion, a hidden floating city orbiting Mercury's dark side.

The Lie Begins
Nyra stands before the Nexus Council—12 leaders in golden masks.
> "I want to make a deal," she says,
"I have data on Lumora's secret energy source."
The room goes silent.
They allow her in… but start tracking her.

But They Don't Know
Nyra's body is laced with Aarav's hidden AI virus, cloaked in her neural interface.
Every night, as she pretends to sleep—she's mapping their defenses, codes, leadership.
One night, she finds something terrifying:
> "A secret vault… labeled:
THE FIRST STONE FRAGMENT."
She whispers into the air.
> "Aarav... they have a piece of what gave you your power."
His voice echoes back through her earpiece:
> "Do not retrieve. Mark the vault.
We'll burn them all at once."

The Twist
Just as she gains full trust of the Nexus…
One of the masked leaders removes his mask.
Nyra freezes.
> "You shouldn't exist," he says.
"You were supposed to die in Project Wraith…"
He knows her real identity.
> It's her creator. The one who trained her.
The one Aarav erased from history.

Cliffhanger End
Aarav's system goes dark for 3 seconds—hacked from inside Nexus vaults.
> [WARNING: SYSTEM BREACH. TRACE ACTIVE. PRIMARY AGENT COMPROMISED.]
Aarav:
> "She's on her own now."
