Aris’s fingers flew across the keyboard. He was decoding a ventilation event that happened on a single night in October 1982.

He moved past the silent looms, their belts like fossilized serpents, toward the heart of the beast: the JMY Central Plenum, a concrete cavern where four colossal, rust-stained fans faced outward like blind, metal cyclopses.
“What is that?” Jenna’s voice crackled over the walkie-talkie. She had followed him after all, watching from a mezzanine above. “That’s not cotton. That’s… wrong .” The LiDAR scanner painted a horrifying picture: a
Aris stumbled back, the walkie-talkie clattering to the floor.
