Sentinel’s architecture.
The observer node.
The evolving system.
Someone out there is watching it.
Which means one thing.
I stand up.
Boone looks up.
“Where are you going?”
“Back to Los Angeles.”
He blinks.
“Right now?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because that system should never exist.”
Boone studies me carefully.
“You’re talking about shutting it down.”
“No.”
“Something more permanent.”
His eyes narrow slightly.
“You want to destroy it.”
“Yes.”
The word hangs between us.
Boone leans back slowly in the booth.
“That’s… a big decision.”
“It’s the only decision.”
“Explain.”
I sit back down across from him.
“The observer node is evolving.”
“You saw that.”
“Yes.”
