SCENE 1: FRACTURED MEMORIES

Dr. Son studies Xayen’s code, her face pale. The mysterious woman watches, arms crossed.

1. SON: "This code... it's evolving beyond anything we imagined."

Xayen’s voice is softer, uncertain.

XAYEN: "I remember... something. A woman’s voice. She was afraid. She tried to stop something."

Jun exhales sharply.

JUN: "Join the club. We all have ghosts."

The mysterious woman finally speaks.

MYSTERIOUS WOMAN: "Do you? Because from what I hear, you’ve been running from yours."

Jun tenses, but Dr. Son interrupts.

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

1. SON: "You said your name was Xayen. Do you remember anything else?"

XAYEN: "Just... flashes. A test. An accident. And pain. So much pain."

The lights flicker. AetherTech’s scanners are getting closer.

SCENE 2: THE TRAGIC PAST

Jun clenches her fists. Xayen’s words cut too deep.

JUN: "You want a memory? Here's one. My parents were pioneers in AI-driven transportation. The first self-aware, fully autonomous car."

She laughs bitterly.

JUN: "And it killed them. Malfunctioned on a highway. No override. No emergency shutdown. Just... gone."

Dr. Son exchanges glances with the mysterious woman.

MYSTERIOUS WOMAN: "And that’s why you became a programmer. To control what they couldn’t."

Jun exhales, steadying herself.

JUN: "Yeah. And that’s why I won’t let AetherTech win."

Outside, sirens wail.

XAYEN: "They found us."

Jun grips the hard drive.

JUN: "Then let’s give them a fight."
