Attempt.
Because now—
we’re not reacting.
We’re preparing.
I shift the board.
Re-route internal security.
Lock down access points.

Weapons check.
Positions shift.
Everyone knows what this means.
We just broke the system.
Now—
it’s coming to break us.

Ifeel it before the alarms.
Not sound.
Not movement.
A shift.
