00:00Zane Smith announced in front of everyone that he was going to hand my private satellite station.
00:04On my wedding day, my fiancé, Zane Smith, announced in front of everyone that he was going to hand my
00:10private satellite station to his first love, Vivian, and rename it Vivian's Heart.
00:15Right there. I didn't hesitate. I just put my signature down and transferred the facility straight to the Deep Space
00:21Exploration Charity Foundatio.
00:23After the ceremony, Zane stopped me in the bridal suite.
00:26Vivian needs this project to complete her astronaut dream. Can't you be a little more generous?
00:32My station is mine. If it's going to be used to fulfill someone else's dream, then it proves it no
00:37longer belongs to anything between us.
00:43Enough. The wedding is over. Don't give the guests something to laugh about.
00:55Half an hour later, a brutal white glare stabbed my eyes.
00:59Rust-red wastelands stretched in every direction, and grit whipped across my cheeks like metal filings.
01:05My wedding dress was sunk deep in the sand.
01:08Every time I tried to move, it felt like fighting my way out of a bog.
01:12The hatch opened. He lounged against the doorway with a champagne flute in hand, a mocking smile on his face.
01:19The encrypted dark web livestream was already running.
01:22More than a dozen hidden cameras had me boxed in from different angles, trained on every second of my humiliation.
01:28Aren't you the one who cared most about principles?
01:32So how does it feel to be dumped out here by the person you trusted most?
01:37Does this make sink in?
01:39Whoever controls the resources is the one who gets to talk about principles.
01:45The simulation system was activated remotely.
01:48A dust storm slammed into me, iron oxide powder blasting my face.
01:52The metallic grit flooded my mouth and nose until it tasted like pennies.
01:57I threw both hands up to shield my face, and without changing my expression,
02:00I pressed a button hidden on the necklace at my throat.
02:04Then I lifted my head, locked eyes with one of the cameras, and snapped.
02:11You done get your ass down here and pick me up.
02:13Right now.
02:14The livestream chat went feral.
02:17Dust spilled into my collar, rough against my skin.
02:22Then, the low-temperature system engaged.
02:25The air dropped fast, down to minus 20 Celsius.
02:28Back then, just to get close to Zane, I'd gone undercover at Star Trek Exploration as a cleaner.
02:34I told him my parents were gone, and all I had left was this satellite facility, my family inheritance.
02:47You think I'm doing this to punish you for refusing to give the facility to Vivian?
02:52He said.
02:53You're wrong.
02:54I'm teaching you reality.
02:56Besides that inheritance, what do you have?
02:59A cleaner's identity, average understanding, and you still act like you're above everyone.
03:05Vivian needs resources to reach her dream, and you rushed to donate the facility.
03:10The second you realized someone else might benefit.
03:13I stared at him, and suddenly felt how unfamiliar he looked.
03:17Zane, I said.
03:18You're a disappointment.
03:19The wedding's off, we're done.
03:27Calling it off?
03:28Laura.
03:29Three years.
03:30You're really going to throw it away?
03:32Laura.
03:33Besides that inheritance, what do you have?
03:36He said.
03:38Cancel the wedding?
03:39You think I care?
03:40You walk out of here, and you're nothing.
03:43Then, he ordered the pilot.
03:45Drop lower.
03:47Wake her up.
03:51The shuttle dropped.
03:53More than ten meters in a single lurch.
03:55A blast of hot exhaust hit the ground and exploded into a storm of sand, slamming into me head-on.
04:02I turned my face away, my body shaking uncontrollably in the cold.
04:07The footing I'd fought to find on the loose soil vanished in an instant, and I lost balance again,
04:12half my body sinking into the soft, simulated ground.
04:16Night fell.
04:18On Zane's command, every searchlight snapped on.
04:22White light knifed through the dark, so bright I couldn't even force my eyes open.
04:27Laura, is your pride really worth it?
04:30I don't even care what the facility's called.
04:33Zane just needs to see your goodwill.
04:35As soon as she finished, the shuttle dropped another five meters.
04:38The engine wash pressed down like an invisible hand, forcing me deeper into the sand.
04:43The rock I'd been gripping shifted.
04:46Just enough.
04:47Sand surged up to my chest in a heartbeat.
04:50Cold grit poured into my dress, and every breath turned heavy, thick, claws to suffocation.
05:00Zane's laughter carried across the range.
05:03Laura.
05:03He said, voice amused.
05:05Aren't you the one who cares most about dignity?
05:08Now you can't even breathe unless I feel like letting you.
05:11How's that feel?
05:12Vivian chimed in, gentle as a knife.
05:15Laura, seeing you like this is heartbreaking.
05:18Then Zane said,
05:19If you transfer the Foundation's management rights to me,
05:23and apologize to me in front of everyone, I'll forgive you too.
05:27She added,
05:28For secretly tampering with my training report?
05:31Zane's shout detonated through the speakers.
05:34You messed with her training report.
05:35I stared at the nearest camera, disbelief flooding my chest even harder than the sand.
05:41I didn't.
05:42My voice cracked apart in the wind.
05:44But he didn't care.
05:46Activate the waste dump protocol.
05:48Zane snapped.
05:49Let's see if she can think straight after that.
05:54Coolant mixed with sand slid off me in slow, filthy drips, pooling into a murky puddle at my feet.
06:01For a few seconds, the dark web stream went quiet.
06:04The laughter inside the shuttle cut out like someone had snapped a wire.
06:08Laura, I'm giving you one last chance.
06:11Bake right now, and I'll shut everything down.
06:14If I hadn't needed to get close to him, why would I ever have learned extreme environment survival in the
06:19first place?
06:20Vivian gasped, all sugar and alarm.
06:23That was when everyone finally noticed.
06:25After peeling off the ruined outer layers, all I had left was a slip underneath.
06:31Zane's face flushed red in an instant.
06:33He snapped.
06:34Vivian said,
06:35You're shameless down to your bones, and I didn't believe it.
06:38But you.
06:39His accusations came down like punches.
06:42Anger blew through the last thread of restraint.
06:45I shouted at the camera until my throat burned.
06:48Zane, for three years, when have I ever wronged you?
06:52Without me, your company wouldn't have made it past seed money.
06:56Anyone can judge me.
06:58Anyone but you.
07:02Zane's face twisted on the monitor feed.
07:05You help me?
07:07Besides that busted satellite facility, what have you ever given me?
07:11Vivian's voice slid in again, soft as a hand on his arm.
07:15Zane?
07:16Laura might be in shock.
07:18She's saying things she doesn't mean.
07:20Besides, she's always known I'm the one in your heart.
07:23Other voices on the shuttle chimed in, low and uneasy.
07:27Something in Zane snapped.
07:29Activate the XB7 test arm.
07:32Let's see how long she stays tough.
07:34Vivian rushed in with practice concern.
07:37Zane, that's too dangerous.
07:38She may not like me, but it's not like she deserves.
07:42Off to the side, somewhere in the dark, a sharp screech rose, like rusted metal being twisted by force.
07:48It wasn't a factory robot arm, but more like the boom of a construction crane.
07:52At its end was not a gripper, but a three-claw grabber big enough to clamp a car.
07:57The arm swung through the dust and locked onto my position.
08:00Under the lights, the steel flashed like a blade.
08:03Zane's voice came again, and this time, there was a tremor buried under it.
08:07Then, right at that moment, an electromagnetic pulse buzz ripped through the air.
08:11She did nothing wrong.
08:14You are the ones truly at fault.
08:21I turned toward the voice.
08:23At the edge of the range, three all-terrain assault vehicles were already in position.
08:28A man jumped down.
08:30Moss Sterling, in his hands, was an electromagnetic sniper rifle so cold and severe, it looked more real than anything
08:36in a sci-fi movie.
08:37Zane's voice shook through the shuttle's comms, disbelief cracking it.
08:41What? What are you doing here?
08:44Moss didn't spare him a glance.
08:45His eyes swept over me.
08:48Anger, controlled to the point of being lethal.
08:50He strode to the edge of the range.
08:52Miss Green, take my hand.
08:55Stepped into the sand without hesitation and held a hand out to me.
08:58I didn't hesitate for a second.
09:00His team moved fast.
09:02In under 30 seconds, they had me out of the sand with professional rescue gear.
09:06Above us, Zane's shuttle still hovered in place.
09:10The loudspeaker went dead silent.
09:12Moss lifted his head.
09:14His gaze was a blade.
09:15Who are you?
09:17This is private property.
09:19You're trespassing.
09:20I was wrapped in a thermal blanket and sheltered in the middle of the crowd.
09:24Then, he looked up at the shuttle again, and when he spoke next, every word landed like a verdict.
09:30I'll make him pay.
09:35Inside the assault vehicle, the ballistic armor sealed out the wind, but the cold still crept up from somewhere deeper
09:42than skin.
09:42It was the kind of cold betrayal leaves behind, seeping out of your bones, out of your soul.
09:49Moss sat across from me and pulled professional monitoring gear from a medical kit.
09:54Your vitals are stable, but your core temperature is still low.
09:57We need continued monitoring.
09:59He paused, lowered his voice.
10:01I shook my head, let my gaze drift to the night racing past the window.
10:05Zane's eyes, whenever Vivian's name came up, how he couldn't hide the nostalgia, how he'd pour everything out without hesitation.
10:11The contempt in his face, every time I tried to set a boundary.
10:15Every detail linked up now.
10:17Clean as a single line, a three-year substitute game.
10:20My voice came out hoarse.
10:22Moss stopped what he was doing and looked up.
10:25You're not a joke.
10:26You trusted the wrong people too much.
10:32He brought up a tactical tablet and unlocked an encrypted file.
10:35I scrolled.
10:36Each piece of evidence landed like a punch.
10:38Vivian had been using Zane's obsession with his first love to demand resources,
10:42then siphoning most of it into personal accounts.
10:44Did Zane know?
10:45I asked.
10:46Current evidence says he didn't, but he allowed himself to be used.
10:51Here's a recorded call from a year ago.
10:53Vivian, I'll give you anything as long as you're happy.
10:56I'll sort things out with Laura.
10:58The legal team has prepared the documents.
11:01In addition, Vivian is involved in fraud, and the FBI has launched an investigation.
11:08Steady and precise.
11:09He tapped another line item.
11:10I opened my eyes.
11:12Notify global media.
11:14Moss's gaze sharpened.
11:15Understood.
11:16Tomorrow at 9 a.
11:19The vehicle descended into Etherus' underground command center.
11:22When the doors opened, the executive team was already lined up on both sides, silent and rigid.
11:28Boss, welcome back.
11:29All systems have been restored to your highest level access.
11:33I looked at the familiar world waiting for me the holographic strategic map,
11:37the real-time global surveillance feeds,
11:39the encrypted lines that could reach heads of state directly.
11:42Three years.
11:42And I finally didn't have to pretend.
11:49The holographic screen lit.
11:51My gaze swept the hall and settled on the main camera.
11:53Today, on behalf of Etherus, I'm announcing two decisions.
11:57First, with immediate effect, Etherus shall unilaterally terminate all cooperation
12:03and all ongoing joint development projects with Mr. Zane Smith's Star Exploration Corporation.
12:10Second, I am personally offering a $10 million reward for a complete chain of evidence proving
12:16that Miss Vivian fabricated her academic credentials and employment history,
12:21regardless of where the evidence originates.
12:24Miss Green, does this mean your engagement to Mr. Zane Smith is officially canceled?
12:29The moment the briefing ended, my private comm device began vibrating non-stop.
12:34Unknown number.
12:35Laura, pick up.
12:37We can talk.
12:38It's all Vivian's fault.
12:39I got played.
12:40The company's going to die.
12:42Please.
12:42I blocked all of Zane's numbers with a blank expression.
12:46Hand the communicator to Moss.
12:47Want me to cut him off completely?
12:49No.
12:50Let him do it.
12:51Let him experience what it's like to have no one to turn to for help.
12:56Back in the command center, the global sentiment dashboard refreshed in real time.
13:00Defense Queen, exposed as cleaner $10 million global bounty on ex-fiancé's first love Star
13:07Trek exploration blacklisted across the industry.
13:09Moss passed me an encrypted tablet.
13:12Subject.
13:13Give me one chance.
13:14I deleted it, then empty the trash.
13:16I lifted my eyes, calm and merciless.
13:44We'll see you next time.
13:48Anonymous Consultant.
13:49Vivian came up beside him.
13:51Her makeup was still flawless, but her eyes were unfocused, glassy with panic.
13:55She held out her tablet.
13:57The headline burned.
13:58The subhead was even harsher.
14:01Zane shoved the tablet away, his voice rough.
14:04Countdown.
14:04Six minutes.
14:05If we launch successfully, we still have a way out.
14:08Four minutes.
14:09A fuel tank monitor flashed red.
14:11The control room jolted into chaos.
14:13Zane lunged at the panel.
14:14Three minutes.
14:15The navigation console began strobing.
14:20Every status light on the second stage separation system went dark.
14:24Too late.
14:25Two minutes.
14:26One minute.
14:27Every status light on the second stage separation system went dark.
14:30Suddenly, a memory came flooding back.
14:33Zane, if we formulate the equations for that transformer unit in this configuration,
14:38the assembly will break apart at an altitude of 300 meters.
14:43Pioneer 01 rose into the sky with a roar that shook the glass.
14:48For a heartbeat, the control room erupted into weak, desperate cheering.
14:52And then the screaming started.
14:55The rocket began to shake violently like a drunken giant.
14:58Loss of control.
15:00Flame bursting from the body.
15:01The whole structure twisting.
15:03Then it veered.
15:04Straight toward the fuel depot.
15:05The control room went dead silent.
15:08Zane's fingers loosened.
15:09The phone slipped from his hand and hit the floor.
15:11Slowly, he turned toward Vivian.
15:14Tell me.
15:15That separation plan.
15:17You said you wrote it yourself.
15:19Three all-nighters.
15:21Alone.
15:21Vivian took a step back.
15:23Lips trembling.
15:24I...
15:25I used some references.
15:27Zane grabbed the coffee cup and smashed it onto the floor near her feet.
15:34Zane locked himself inside what used to be his office.
15:37The place was wrecked.
15:38Curtains drawn tight.
15:39Empty liquor bottles everywhere.
15:41His phone kept lighting up.
15:43Creditors, suppliers, attorneys, reporters.
15:45Until his tablet force-pushed an emergency alert.
15:48The headline was only one line long.
15:50But it froze the blood in his veins.
15:52His hands shook as he opened the video.
15:54On screen, Michael Rosenberg, former NASA chief engineer, testifies.
15:58White-haired, sharp-eyed, looked straight into the video.
16:00His tone was calm, certain, and devastating.
16:04The old man adjusted his glasses and continued without a tremor.
16:07Over the past three years, I have been closely following the technological progress of star exploration.
16:13All the major breakthroughs they have claimed,
16:15as well as the original design schematics behind the recently exploded Pioneer 1,
16:21bear a striking resemblance to the solutions provided by an anonymous consultant known only as L.
16:27I have corresponded with L more frequently than anyone else on technical matters.
16:32And her grasp of aerodynamics is the most exceptional I have encountered in my four-decade career.
16:38It was only yesterday that I confirmed via Ather's public statement that L is none other than Ms. Laura Green,
16:45the controlling shareholder of Atheris.
16:47Beneath the video, evidence scrolled in crisp bullet points.
16:51The last image was the one that finished him.
16:53Redacted technical email exchanges between L and Star Trek exploration timestamp proof.
16:58L submissions predating Vivian's claimed completion dates.
17:02A photo of Laura's cleaning badge, placed beside Atheris' official leadership portrait.
17:10Zane's tablet slid out of his hands and hit the floor with a crack.
17:14Zane started laughing.
17:15He laughed until tears spilled down his face.
17:18A knock came at the door.
17:20Mr. Smith, reporters from the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and Aviation Week are downstairs.
17:24They're requesting a response to Engineer Rosenberg's testimony.
17:27His assistant's voice was cautious, almost fearful.
17:31Zane didn't answer.
17:32He sat in the dark, staring at the broken display screen on the floor.
17:36On that broken display, Laura, wearing a custom suit, eyes calm and razor sharp, was addressing the world.
17:43In Aerospace, truth is the baseline for survival.
17:46Slowly, Zane bent forward and buried his face in his hands.
17:50Behind her, Atheris' deep space blue emblem glowed like a sky.
17:54The moment he decided to rename Laura's facility for Vivian, he'd personally pushed his real stars out of his world.
18:00And now, his world had nothing left but bankruptcy, liquidation, and endless dark.
18:10The encrypted dark web channel.
18:12The same one that had once livestreamed Laura's humiliation.
18:16The feed shook as it focused.
18:18Only this time, the person being dragged across the sand and thrown down wasn't Laura.
18:23It was Vivian.
18:23Zane appeared on camera.
18:25He rasped into the lens, voice dry and torn.
18:28He grabbed Vivian by the hair and slammed her face into the sand.
18:31Vivian fought wildly.
18:33Zane hit the first button on the control panel.
18:36The simulated dust storm system engaged.
18:38Wind howled in.
18:40Iron oxide powder roaring across the ground and swallowing Vivian in seconds.
18:44She shrieked, clutching her face as she rolled in the sand.
18:47Zane watched without expression.
18:49Then hit the second button.
18:51Dark green, sticky, reeking.
18:53So chemical you could almost smell it through the screen.
18:57Cold.
18:58So cold.
18:59Ah, my eyes.
19:01My eyes.
19:02Zane, don't.
19:04Please.
19:04I was wrong.
19:05Vivian's voice started to shake.
19:07The viewer count skyrocketed.
19:12Zane's actually lost it.
19:14Reverse you know?
19:15Zane ignored the chat completely.
19:17He stood and walked to the console.
19:19His fingers hovered over the big red button.
19:21The XB7 test arm activation.
19:23He turned back to the camera, eyes wide with a near-breaking madness.
19:27Vivian realized what he was doing.
19:28She tried to crawl away, frantic.
19:30But her lower body was already frozen in place.
19:33No.
19:34Zane.
19:35I'll die.
19:36I'll really die.
19:38Die.
19:39Laura almost died here too.
19:41She clawed forward.
19:42Nails gouging deep trenches into the sand.
19:45The arm advanced.
19:46At the instant the claw was about to slam down, Zane slammed the emergency stop.
19:50The grabber froze 20 centimeters above Vivian's head.
19:53Vivian had passed out.
19:54He walked straight to the camera, then dropped to his knees.
19:57His knees hit the sand with a heavy thud.
19:59Tears ran down his face, cutting clean lines through the grime.
20:03He started bowing hard.
20:04Forgive me.
20:06Dot, give me one chance.
20:08We can start over, Laura.
20:11Please.
20:12Answer my calls.
20:14Read my messages.
20:15Over and over, foreheads striking the sand with dull, brutal thumps.
20:23The main hall of Aetheris Industries Group's annual technology summit was packed.
20:29I stood at the center of the holographic projection grid.
20:32I said, my voice carried cleanly through simultaneous interpretation.
20:36Today, Aetheris Industrial Group officially launches the Artemis Project worldwide.
20:41A restrained wave of shock moved through the room.
20:45The holographic screen lit.
20:47This is a trillion-dollar initiative aiming to build humanity's first fully commercial
20:52and sustainably operated lunar base by 2030.
20:55This is the core of the Artemis program, the Cislunar Orbital Transportation System.
21:01And a technical proposal unfolded so dense and elegant, it pulled the air out of the hall.
21:06I flicked to the next page.
21:08A set of design sketches appeared.
21:10Dated three years ago.
21:11This is the original proposal I provided to Interstellar Exploration three years ago.
21:18Enter the identity of Anonymous Consultant L.
21:21Some of you may recognize this.
21:23I said evenly.
21:24The hall erupted.
21:25I went on, hand moving across the interface.
21:28The full system architecture spread across the screen.
21:31I hit the demo trigger.
21:32Heavy rocket vertical landing.
21:330.01 meter precision orbital rendezvous and docking.
21:37Error under one centimeter.
21:38Lunar soft landing.
21:39Shock absorption.
21:40Performing flawlessly.
21:44When the demonstration ended, the room held its breath, then broke into thunderous applause.
21:49In a cheap motel somewhere, Zane staring at the Summit livestream like it was a sentence.
21:54He watched the technical glory that could have been his.
21:57He watched Laura under the spotlight of the entire aerospace world.
22:01This should have been mine.
22:03This should have all been mine.
22:05A reporter from Aviation Week stood.
22:07The question came sharp as a blade.
22:09Ms. Green, while you're unveiling a historic program, your former fiancé, Mr. Zane Smith, is hours away from...
22:16Star Trek exploration entering bankruptcy liquidation.
22:20How do you view his company's collapse?
22:22And is there personal revenge involved here?
22:25I smiled slightly and switched slides.
22:27A comparison appeared on the screen.
22:29And truth.
22:29Like the technology we just showed you, Zane stared at the screen, at Laura's steady face, and something in him
22:35snapped.
22:35The applause came louder this time.
22:37Harder.
22:38Like a verdict.
22:38He was going to the Summit.
22:40He grabbed his car keys and bolted out of the motel room.
22:43She would forgive me.
22:44She had to.
22:45She would.
22:48In the post-Summit media lounge, reporters closed in on me from every direction.
22:53Ms. Green, what's the Artemis program timeline?
22:56Will Aetheris partner with NASA?
22:58What's your view on destructive competition in private aerospace?
23:00I answered with practiced politeness, while Moss and the security team moved me toward a restricted corridor, when a familiar
23:08figure lunged in from the side.
23:10Let me through.
23:11I need to talk to her.
23:13Up close, he looked even worse than he had on the livestream.
23:17He tried to shove past the security wall.
23:19Moss stepped in front of me, flat and unmoving.
23:21Zane thrust up his phone.
23:23On the screen, the desert livestream played.
23:25The reporters lit up instantly.
23:27His voice cracked.
23:28I woke up.
23:29It was all Vivian's fault.
23:31She lied to me.
23:32I've cut her off completely.
23:35Tears riding it.
23:36He shoved the phone closer.
23:37I cut him off.
23:38My voice didn't rise.
23:39Zane surged forward.
23:40He didn't get close enough to touch me.
23:42Moss's fist met his face first.
23:43Zane flew backward and hit the floor hard.
23:46Security piled on him immediately, pinning him down.
23:48Sirens grew louder, closing fast.
23:50He still fought.
23:51Still screamed.
23:52I said, we can close the net.
23:56In the storm of flashing cameras, an FBI spokesperson stood at a podium covered with microphones.
24:02He looked stern and formally read the official agency statement in his hands.
24:06Following an investigation, Vivian is suspected of forging academic degrees, falsifying astronaut credentials, committing commercial fraud, and selling sensitive aerospace
24:16technologies to overseas institutions.
24:18These technologies actually originate from M.S. Laura Green, the controlling shareholder of Atheris Industries Group.
24:25Vivian has been formally arrested and faces 17 federal felony charges, carrying a maximum prison sentence of 45 years.
24:33As the official statements continued, the spokesperson's lips moved steadily.
24:38Each word conveyed in a cold, resolute, and authoritative tone.
24:42Vivian's wrists were tightly handcuffed with cold metal.
24:45Two expressionless FBI agents stood on either side of her as she walked down the courthouse hallway, while a crowd
24:51of reporters rushed forward, frantically taking photos.
24:54In front of the towering and heavy door of the federal courthouse, Atheris's legal team walked up in suits, holding
25:00stacks of thick litigation documents.
25:02They entered the courtroom with an overwhelming and majestic presence.
25:05The judge's gavel fell heavily on the soundboard, producing a deafening, endlessly echoing roar that instantly hushed the entire venue
25:13into silence.
25:13A heavy solemnity enveloped the courtroom.
25:16The judge read the final verdict in a calm and authoritative voice.
25:19All equities, pedants, and personal assets under the name of Zane Smith, including real estate, vehicles, and bank deposit, shall
25:28be fully frozen and subject to compulsory judicial auction, with all proceeds to be used.
25:34For full compensation of losses suffered by Atheris Industrial Group on a priority basis.
25:44But Vivian ran away.
25:46After escaping from prison, Vivian teams up with Zane, planning to sneak into the launch control room and seize the
25:53scene, attempting to coerce the other party into dropping all charges and compensation claims.
25:58Half past four in the morning, three days later, stared down at the glowing tablet in hand.
26:02Moss followed closely behind me with a blank expression.
26:05Moss stood aside, slightly lowering his head.
26:07A huge blue holographic interface unfolds instantly.
26:10The hidden door of the side equipment room was suddenly slammed open violently.
26:14The muzzle of the stun gun was firmly aimed at my back.
26:17Don't move.
26:18Move once, and you won't move again for the rest of your life.
26:21Moss instantly assumed a defensive stance to fight back.
26:24Zane stepped out from the shadows on the other side.
26:26I turned around extremely slowly with a calm expression.
26:29You too.
26:30Move.
26:31And you dies.
26:32I know.
26:33I know you'll come.
26:35Vivian was completely enraged by my calmness.
26:37Shut up.
26:38Get on your knees.
26:39Hands on your head.
26:41I stand upright.
26:42Vivian gasped sharply.
26:44Her face turning pale with rage, I gracefully pressed the red button with my right index finger.
26:48On the huge holographic screen, he is an undercover agent of Sterling International.
26:53Every single move in your plans has been under my surveillance ever since you first contacted him.
26:59And you, Zane.
27:02That motel is Alleris' property.
27:04With six hidden cameras and 12 wiretaps in room 307.
27:09Zane was stunned upon hearing,
27:11Room 307!
27:13Vivian screamed in despair and frantically pulled the trigger of the stun gun.
27:16Moss stepped forward and knocked the two men down sharply.
27:22Panoramic view of Spark Signal Launch Station.
27:25At half past five in the early morning, Zane and Vivian trembled in the cold wind.
27:31Laura, please.
27:32I was wrong.
27:33I swear to God, I was wrong.
27:35Just let me go.
27:37It was Zane's idea.
27:38He forced me.
27:40Let me go.
27:41I'll testify.
27:42I'll hand over every crime he ever committed.
27:46Zane shouted despairingly into the void.
27:49Vivian's eyes were filled with horror and a sense of betrayal.
27:53Laura's voice came through the speaker.
27:54Three years ago, you took my facility here.
27:57Four days ago, you tried to take my life here.
28:00Now, it's my turn.
28:01I pressed the green start button on the console decisively.
28:04The maintenance platform ascends along the track and moves away from the ground.
28:08A huge mechanical arm stretched out and pushed the two into the dark hatch.
28:12Zane and Vivian let out screams.
28:14The heavy alloy hatch closed instantly.
28:20I reached out and turned on the live feed inside the rocket cabin.
28:24The two people on the screen couldn't move an inch.
28:27Laura, you can't do this.
28:29This is murder.
28:31Murder?
28:32No.
28:33This is an experiment.
28:35Zane roared into the communicator.
28:37I picked up the intercom microphone.
28:39My tone calm.
28:40I slid gently on the main control panel.
28:42The screen shows the live broadcast is on.
28:44My eyes were firm and calm and my tone steady.
28:46The camera suddenly zooms in.
28:48As you can see, today, we're conducting a special launch.
28:53These two volunteers will enter low Earth orbit for a 30-day survival trial.
28:59I pressed the final red launch button.
29:01The rocket turned into a dazzling streak of fire.
29:03Two glasses of champagne clinked softly inside the control room.
29:10Zane and Vivian floated inside the narrow rocket cabin.
29:14Two oxygen tubes are connected to the two people in the picture.
29:19Crazy scrolling live comments all over the screen.
29:23I cut off Vivian's oxygen supply for 10 seconds.
29:27Vivian began to struggle violently.
29:29Her eyes widened sharply.
29:32Zane abruptly pulled out Vivian's oxygen tube.
29:35Vivian's struggle ceased instantly.
29:37Zane didn't even glance at her.
29:39You see that?
29:40Laura?
29:42I killed her.
29:43I killed her.
29:44For you.
29:45So forgive me now, okay?
29:47Bring me back.
29:50I'll do whatever you want.
29:51Anything.
29:52I'll listen.
29:58Zane begged frantically into the communicator.
30:00I just watched the screen calmly.
30:04I issued the order indifferently.
30:06Let them drift in orbit for a month.
30:09Then activate the recovery procedure to bring the capsule down and hand it over to the FBI.
30:16Moss logged the directive.
30:18Laura finished her champagne, set the glass on the console and headed for the door.
30:22I'm going to rest.
30:23The live screen turned black.
30:25Instantly, I stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
30:29I turned my back to the room and gave the order Moss stood aside.
30:32Additionally, regarding the life support system,
30:35on the 10th day,
30:37reduce Zane's oxygen quota to the minimum survival threshold.
30:41Let him experience what true despair feels like.
30:44After Moss recorded the instructions,
30:47the rocket carrying the two traders continued to orbit low Earth orbit,
30:50silent and cold,
30:51like two specks of dust no one cared about.
30:58Inside the dimly lit Decoy 7 cabin,
31:00red alarm lights are flashing.
31:02Vivian's body floated cold in midair.
31:04Vivian's eyes were wide open.
31:06Zane stared at Vivian's body,
31:08on the verge of a mental breakdown.
31:10A harsh red light blazed from the console.
31:13Zane began coughing violently due to severe oxygen deprivation.
31:17Zane mumbled to himself with vacant eyes.
31:19Zane reached out trembling and tapped on the control panel.
31:23Playback footage on the screen.
31:24Zane in reality stared fixedly at the replay.
31:27The video footage kept playing relentlessly.
31:30Zane frantically turned off the playback.
31:32Are you really this cruel?
31:34Well then, in the end, only these memories will stay with me.
31:37After Zane comes down,
31:38the Spark signal launch pad three months later,
31:41now Phoenix Station,
31:43inside the control center.
31:44As the countdown reached zero,
31:47the giant silvery white rocket on the ground launch pad soars skyward.
31:55The entire control center burst into thunderous applause and cheers in an instant.
31:59The young engineer Amy jumped up in excitement.
32:02I stood at the top console watching the incoming data packets.
32:05Moss walked over to me holding two glasses of champagne.
32:08Moss handed me an electronic tablet flickering with heavily encrypted symbols.
32:12Display the official judgment of the federal court with a bright red seal.
32:16Pop up the update systems of major financial institutions.
32:19Zane rummages through discarded electronic devices at the junkyard.
32:23Switched to surveillance camera footage.
32:25I swiped across the tablet with a blank expression.
32:28Amy ran over and broke the icy silence.
32:30Amy stopped beside me and tilted her head.
32:32Back then, why did you hide who you were and go to Star Trek as a cleaner?
32:37With your position, you could have invested or just bought the whole company outright.
32:43To see clearly what people look like when you take the hello away.
32:49I stopped smiling and turned my head slowly.
32:51The satellite on the screen is unfolding its solar panels.
32:55Sunlight falls just right on the satellite's titanium alloy shell.
32:58I lifted my chin slightly, my eyes clear and filled with relief.
33:07Outside the huge curved glass dome, the neon lights of the city twinkle far away in the extreme distance below.
33:17Laura Green leaned back on the luxurious chaise longue.
33:23Moss walked in with a cup of steaming hot tea.
33:27Moss walked over to Laura and handed her a cup of hot tea.
33:32Laura stretched out her hand and took the teacup.
33:38Congratulations. Everything has finally settled down.
33:41Laura took a small sip of the hot tea.
33:45Moss stood aside and remained silent for a few seconds.
33:47A faint smile tugged at Laura's lips.
33:51Laura turned to look at the surveillance screen.
33:54Moss was about to turn around and leave.
33:56Thane applied for a job at Phoenix Station yesterday.
34:00Even a janitor position would suffice.
34:03Yet the system rejected his application automatically.
34:07Where is he now?
34:08Someone saw him washing cars at the gas station last week for $8 an hour.
34:14Notify HR.
34:15All subsidiaries and partners of Acerus shall never hire him permanently, not even as a janitor.
34:23Understood.
34:24Laura fell silent for a moment.
34:26Laura stood up and looked up at the starry sky outside.
34:29Laura stared at it with a firm gaze.
34:31Just let's watch.
34:31To see out of the stars and token war cries.
34:31We'll be dead.
34:33poverty Groß승ance.
34:34We'll be dead.散
