Part: Execution in the Blind DarkAs the vessel rotated on its axis in the silence of orbit, that cold signal from the life module sent tremors through every corridor. Aera23’s station was now dark.
When the remaining crew gathered in the control center, they were hesitant to even look at one another. No one knew if Aera23 had been a "guard" or an "infiltrator." All they knew was this: someone had struck a lethal blow in the dead of night against a target whose identity remained a mystery.
The strangest part was the system's silence. Khamenei’s quantum console had not issued a "purge" warning. This silence clouded the minds of the "Cosmic Illusion" (evil) members, sitting at opposite ends of the ship. Each of them was asking themselves the same question: “Did my partner strike, or is that other ‘glitch’ on the ship acting on its own?”
Dispute (Breaking the silence, eyes scanning everyone):
"Interesting... Aera23 has been silenced. No one left their quarters last night, no one's device showed any activity. Yet, they are gone. If someone among us is bold enough to carry this out alone, then the game is over for us all. Or was this internal strife? Did the two sides just devour each other?"
Bom Tishop (Restlessly, holding the voting terminal):
"Or maybe they just picked the wrong target. Perhaps someone decided to take this absurdity on the ship a step further and wasted someone at random, thinking 'maybe they’re the culprit.' This isn't a vote anymore; it’s a blind brawl."
Hidden in the shadows in a corner of the ship, the assassin smiled to themselves. "My partner?" they thought. "Or am I actually dancing all alone on this ship?"
Elsewhere, amidst the mystical silence hanging over Istanbul, Enoch was observing the events. If the assassins did not know each other, this death might actually be delaying their victory. Everyone now assumed they were 3 against 1, but in reality, the ship might have already been compromised.
Khamenei struck his staff slowly against the deck. This time, it did not emit green energy, but a distorted static sound: "The leak on this ship is growing. You do not know who deleted Aera23; perhaps it was one of your own. Now tell me, in this blind dark, who will you trust? The remaining ones... step forward."
