The holographic map shimmered with cryptic patterns—DNA strands twisted into infinity, interlaced with star charts and energy signatures.
Kaela traced a glowing symbol. "This… this is the Helix Code. A blueprint for genetic and technological evolution."
Titan's mind reeled. "So the Gates aren't just portals—they're catalysts. Designed to accelerate life itself."
Lira's voice was cold, analytic. "Project Helix was an experiment to create a hybrid species—part human, part Vorn, and something beyond both. The Council wants to control it."
Suddenly, the room shook. The Cleaner, recovering from their clash with Kaela, lunged again, desperate to destroy the data.
Titan intercepted, blocking the attack. "You don't understand what you're fighting for."
The Cleaner's visor flickered, revealing a flash of doubt. "I fight for order. For survival."
"Order built on lies," Titan spat. "The Helix is the key to freedom or annihilation. But it's not meant to be controlled—it's meant to evolve."
Kaela stepped forward, eyes fierce. "We have the knowledge now. But the Council will stop at nothing to erase it."
The holographic Helix spiraled upward, illuminating their faces in a ghostly glow.
Titan clenched his fists. "Then we make sure the galaxy knows the truth. No matter the cost."
Outside, the war continued—stars burning, futures hanging in the balance.
And AP Titan was ready to fight for the fate of all.
