I really enjoyed how you wove human emotion into this high-stakes tech mystery. The team’s fear, determination, and quick decision-making all felt authentic, and the dialogue really brought the characters to life. The “Kill the connection” moment had me on edge, and the final line about “version 2” was such an ominous way to close. I think a little more detail on the journalist’s role could have added even more depth to the resolution, but overall this was an exciting and thought-provoking read.
