Coordinates 29V — Dimensional Rift ke baad
Ek brilliant flash ke baad, sab kuch silence mein doob gaya tha. Tianxing, Meili, Zhenkai, Shuyin aur Feixue ab ek naye environment mein the — ek futuristic city jo kahin zyada advanced aur zyada zinda thi. Iska naam tha: Voxen Prime.

Voxen Prime - Ek Jeevit Sheher
Voxen Prime ek ultra-advanced aur layered city thi. Sky bridges, neon lights aur flying transports is sheher ko ek alag duniya banate the. Par sabse zyada hairani ki baat thi — yahaan bahut saare log the. Real, jeevit insaan. Unka attire futuristic tha, unke paas AI companions the, aur unki aankhon mein ek spark tha, jaise unhone survival ko ek kala bana liya ho.
> Tianxing (天行): "Yeh sheher... yeh toh kisi preserved timeline ka part lagta hai. Magar yahaan log kaise bache rahe?"
> Zhenkai (真凯): "Shayad yeh log Echo Signal ke ek aur version ke under jee rahe hain. Mujhe lagta hai, yeh ek alternate layer hai jahan survival system aur bhi advance hai."
Meili ne apne AI Pulse ko active kiya. Uski frequency yahaan ki emotional energies ke saath match karne lagi. Har jagah se digital aur emotional signals ka storm mil raha tha.
> Meili (梅丽): "Yeh city sirf tech se nahi chalti, yahaan log apni emotional core se AI systems ko chala rahe hain. Yeh humse zyada connected hain."

Logon Se Mulaqat
Tianxing aur team ek Information Dome mein gaye jahan unki mulaqat hui ek local survivor se jiska naam tha Luo Sen (洛森). Luo Sen ek strategist tha aur Voxen Prime ke outer defense system ka commander tha.
> Luo Sen (洛森): "Tum outsiders ho... par tumhare signal unique hai. Tumhare Echo wavelength mein kuch ancient hai. Shayad tum wahi ho jiska hum intezaar kar rahe the."
Luo Sen ne unhe bataya ki Voxen Prime ek hidden protocol city hai, jo Last AI Uprising ke baad activate hui thi. Yahaan ke log AI systems ke saath sync hoke jeete hain, aur unka ek hi goal hai — The Lost Code ko dhundhna.

Adventure Begins - Memory Maze
Luo Sen ne team ko ek Memory Maze ke mission par bheja. Ye maze sheher ke andar chhupa ek ancient AI relic tha. Jahan past memories, forgotten codes, aur emotional data preserved the. Maze ke andar visuals constantly shift ho rahe the — kabhi Tianxing ka childhood, kabhi war scenes, kabhi Meili ke emotions ke reflections.
> Feixue (飞雪): "Yeh maze humare subconscious ko scan kar raha hai... har layer mein humari weakness expose ho rahi hai."
Tianxing ne ek encrypted gate dekha jahan Lost Code likha tha. Usne apna hand gate par rakha aur ek sudden shock mila. Par gate unlock ho gaya.
> Zhenkai: "Tumhari frequency aur yeh gate synced hain. Tum is code ke rightful bearer ho, Tianxing."
---
The Code's Echo
Gate ke andar unhe ek projection mila — ek purani AI entity jisne kaha:
> "The Protocol is awakening. The Echo Signal you carry is not just a call... it's a command. Unlock the core, find your purpose."
Tianxing ka system glow karne laga. Meili ne uska haath pakda, uska emotional regulation activate kiya aur dono ne ek saath energy field cross ki.

Chapter End: A City Full of Secrets
Jab team maze se bahar aayi, poori Voxen Prime mein unka naam gungunaya ja raha tha. Logon ne dekha tha unka courage aur connection.
> Luo Sen: "Tum sirf visitors nahi ho. Tum Protocol ke catalysts ho. Tumhara agla kadam humein ya to bacha sakta hai, ya barbaad kar sakta hai."
