Chapter 41
Kim navigates a dangerous, war-torn environment within the Hub, moving through depressurized and damaged areas to reach a strategic observation point in 17D. She stealthily positions explosive devices aimed at the Spin Decoupler ring of the Spindle, successfully damaging it but not disabling it completely. Her covert operation is abruptly compromised when soldiers discover her presence, heightening the tension and danger of her mission.
