Chapter 175
This chapter depicts a tense crisis unfolding within the House system, where an assassination attempt and internal sabotage have triggered a security lockdown and a struggle for control over critical systems. Ariane Emory has assumed control of the House System emergency functions after a security breach attributed to Denys, who is suspected of orchestrating a coup to secure his power. The characters coordinate defensive measures, manage compromised security networks, and prepare for a potentially violent confrontation while protecting key personnel.
