After a Feedscatteron technology leak led to an accident, Han Yuchu needed an explanation - a structural one. Which part failed, and how did a technology that should never exist in the human world end up where it should not be?
She followed the clues, and they led to ESAP.
She applied for guest access as a researcher. The plan was clear: three months to map the organization, trace the technology source, understand personnel relationships, write the report, and leave. Then equipment was flooded, hard drives broke, interviews were canceled, and Plan A collapsed all the way to Plan F.
Five months later, the report is still unfinished. Not because of bad luck. Because she realizes what she is typing is no longer "them".
