Or so it should be.
A soft chime interrupts his thoughts.
The Architect frowns slightly.
He doesn’t like surprises.
A new data panel appears.
Relay interference detected.
He studies it carefully.
Signal disruptions.
Routing probes.
Someone watching the network.
That shouldn’t be possible.
He taps deeper into the logs.
The system reconstructs the interference path.
Montana.
His eyes narrow slightly.
Interesting.
Another alert appears.
Convoy position prediction.
Someone is tracking the relay movement.
That’s… impressive.
The Architect sits forward.
Sentinel had enemies.
But none of them understood the infrastructure architecture well enough to follow this network.
Which means only one thing.
Someone from the inside.
A ghost of the old system.
The command computer reconstructs the intrusion signature.
It runs through thousands of pattern comparisons.
Then stops.
The name appears on the screen.
