The men move her toward the far wall.
Even then, she doesn’t stop watching Wren.
“You rewrote Sentinel’s architecture in under five minutes,” she says calmly.
Wren closes her laptop slowly.
“I corrected it.”
The woman smiles faintly.
“Semantics.”
Boone steps forward slightly.
“That’s enough.”
The Architect studies him now.
Then shrugs.
“Very well.”
River turns back toward the team.
“Status.”
Gage checks the screens.
“City systems stabilizing.”
He glances at Wren.
“That was… impressive.”
River nods once.
“Understatement.”
Across the room—
Boone finally turns fully toward Wren.
Her hands are still shaking.
The adrenaline hasn’t faded yet.
“You okay?” he asks quietly.
She exhales slowly.
“I think so.”
“You just saved the second-largest city in the country.”
“Only because Sentinel built the observer node.”
Boone shakes his head.
