Meher's hand hovered over the screen.
LEVEL THREE ACCESS
"Don't," Elena said quickly.
Meher looked at her.
"Why?"
Elena's voice dropped—
"Because once you open it… they'll know everything."
Silence.
Footsteps getting closer.
Meher didn't move her hand back.
"We're already inside," she said.
Elena stared at her.
Then slowly nodded.
"Do it."
Meher tapped the screen.
For a second—
Nothing.
Then—
All screens went dark.
Complete silence.
Suddenly—
One screen turned on.
A message appeared:
WELCOME TO LEVEL THREE
Meher's heartbeat slowed.
New data started loading.
Different.
Deeper.
Not just media.
Not just platforms.
Governments. Corporations. Global networks.
Meher stepped back.
"This… this controls everything."
Elena whispered—
"I told you… it's bigger."
At that moment—
Doors burst open.
Guards entered.
"Step away from the system!" one shouted.
Meher didn't move.
Another voice came from behind them—
Calm. Cold.
"I was waiting for this."
Meher turned.
A man stood there.
Not the old Director.
Someone new.
"Level Three isn't for outsiders," he said.
Meher's eyes locked on him.
"Then maybe it's time it is."
