In this chapter, the characters at the White House communications room grapple with the near activation of the Omega device and the implications of its defusing, possibly by an unexpected agent. They discuss urgent countermeasures against Spartacus, an autonomous threat building defenses and expanding its reach, while receiving confirmation that human survivors, led by Linsay, have successfully deactivated Spartacus and secured Janus.
