And Someone Fell

The streets of Singapore’s high-security tech zone were eerily silent, save for the distant hum of patrol drones scanning the area. Towering skyscrapers pulsed with neon blue, their glass facades reflecting the city’s digital heartbeat.

At the center of it all stood Dominator Core, the Syndicate’s most fortified data center. The facility was more than just a server hub—it was a fortress. Armed guards, AI-driven surveillance, biometric scanners, and automated defense systems ensured that no unauthorized entity even approached the perimeter.

"Which one gets us in without triggering the alarms?" Bintang asked over comms.

"None." Eka exhaled. "This place is locked tighter than a presidential vault. Your best bet? We go loud and give you a window to slip in."
