"Who initiated the request, which diagnostic report it was based on, and which physical terminal uploaded it..."
She tilted her head. "The mainframe logs everything."
The blood vanished entirely from Thorne's face.
His eyes widened in absolute horror.
The Red Medical Evacuation Protocol could forcefully override any auction. But it required a certified medical officer to submit it under their own verified ID.
Otherwise, anyone could just plug in a flash drive and wheel a billion-dollar asset out the door.
To pull this off, he had willingly tied his own name to the fraudulent report.
He had chained himself to the crime!
"Don't panic, the receipts are all right here," Serena said breezily, tapping the console.
The screen shifted again.
Lines of irrefutable system logs populated the display.
[Malicious data overwrite detected.]
[Unauthorized local purge command detected.]
[Target: Recent transit and maintenance logs.]
[Purge Request: Blocked.]
[Authorization Source: Medical Team Internal Account.]
[Operator ID: Locked.]
Below that were the exact timestamps of the module's insertion, the generation of the fake report, and the clearance badge number attached to the evacuation request.
Every single detail, laid bare for the world to see.
"You..." The senior medic stared at Thorne in utter betrayal. "It was you! You son of a bitch!"
To earn that level of clearance, a medic had to have spent years in the trenches with the crew. They trusted him with their lives.
No one suspected the mole was standing right next to them.

His eyes were glued to the massive screen overhead.

From the very second he plugged the module in, every single action he by,
took had been closely monitoret

She hadn't stayed silent because she was confused.
She stayed silent because she had already laid the trap, waiting patiently for him to walk right into it!
"You..."
He stared at her, genuine terror bleeding into his eyes for the first time. "You knew... you already..."
Serena smiled warmly, leaning down to meet his terrified gaze.
She reached over and casually yanked The Sabotage Interface Module from the port, twirling it between her fingers.
Making sure she was out of the microphone's range, she whispered down to him with a low, seductive lethality, "Of course knew. From the very beginnings content
Her hushed voice was laced with an intoxicating danger.
The stunning, cold beauty of her face was suddenly the most terrifying thing he had ever seen.
But worse than her smile was the soft, lazy laugh that followed. "I waited all night just for Obsidian Sun..."
"...to serve themselves up on a silver platter."
Her smile deepened, her striking eyes curving into a flawless, predatory crescent.
Obsidian Sun!
Thorne's pupils contracted violently.
In a fraction of a second, absolute despair washed over him.
She knew!
She knew exactly who he worked for from the very start!
Before Specimen Fourteen was even rolled onto the stage... no, even before that.
This woman had been biding her time.
Waiting for Obsidian Sun to panic, waiting for them to make a

Every single one of them had been completely outplayed by The Panacea!
