"Exactly," Morgan says, looking up at us. "The Ouroboros loop is a closed system. It repels external entropy. But the Architects just stole the internal frequency of the loop's creators. They now possess the harmonic key to bypass the loop entirely. If they feed that frequency back into the Genesis Seed, the loop will recognize it as a authorized command and open itself."
"Thorne," Lilith says, her voice a melodic, terrifying hum. "The human relay in the Swiss Alps. He wasn't just broadcasting our location. He was downloading the harmonic map."
Morgan nods. "The probe at the edge of the solar system is currently downloading the telemetry from the Swiss bunker. Once the download is complete, the Architects will have the key. They will recalibrate the beam, bypass the loop, and sterilize t
