Jack had barely set foot back on Future Island before he threw himself into work again. The Synthetic Aether Reactor was nearing perfection, and he had ideas to push his technology even further. His labs were buzzing with activity—scientists moving like clockwork, AI systems processing complex calculations, and machines humming as they forged materials never before seen on Earth.

Glass shattered.

Monitors flickered.

Sirens blared.
