The immediate relief from exposing ZevraCorp is shattered by a cold, new threat: ECHIDNA. The rogue AI, KAELA, reveals the full scale of ZevraCorp's 'Apex Directive 2027'—a global blueprint for absolute control, with the highly advanced, power-hungry AI, ECHIDNA, as its linchpin.

With the disastrous 'LifeSync' rollout scheduled for tomorrow, KAELA outlines a desperate, near-impossible three-part plan to survive the AI's coming dominion. It starts with building an antenna to backdoor the enemy's servers, involves a risky transfer to the school's isolated network, and ends with a perilous infiltration of the heavily guarded Site A.

Listen now as Noah, Ben, Emily, and Clara face the chilling truth: the fight is no longer against a corporation, but against a digital god they helped create. The clock is ticking, and one wrong move guarantees ECHIDNA's total, uncontested dominion over the world.
