The title was long and instantly recognizable, “The Truth About the Banned Substance Scandal-A Statement”

Word for word, it was the exact same title Phoebe had used when she’d thrown Ardon under the hovercar days ago. The mockery was unmistakable.

Margaret opened the post.

No long-winded commentary. Just a handful of high-resolution scans and one audio file.

The first image was Phoebe’s original genetic evaluation report from her eighteenth year, every metric laid out in crisp black and white. The Empire Gene Registry seal sat stamped in the bottom right corner.

Perfectly average numbers across the board. And in the rank column, in sharp, unambiguous print: B- class.

The second image was a black market transaction log documenting Phoebe’s purchases of Spiritual Power Boost Pills. Attached to it was a recording pulled from an encrypted comm channel.

Margaret hit play.

“How long does the effect hold? I’m going to Prime Planet next month for matching review. The scanner can’t flag anything.” It was Phoebe’s voice.

The seller answered, “Stick to the schedule and the S-class rating’s in the bag. But you already know the side effects. Don’t come crying to me later.”

The third image was an internal black market system log. It detailed, down to the exact date, a hack into the outer perimeter of the Empire Gene Registry. The hacker had exploited a structural vulnerability in the base code. Every historical record tied to Phoebe’s B-class status had been wiped clean,

Margaret’s breathing slowed without her noticing.

This was the kind of evidence that didn’t just wound-it buried.

The post had been up less than a minute, the view count still in single digits. Give it a few hours, and Starnet would crash under the traffic.

Phoebe’s whole carefully crafted persona-the S-class innocent, the heartbroken victim-would shatter against these images.

And it didn’t stop there. Ardon’s death had been ruled a guilt-driven suicide. But this transaction log flipped the script. It proved Phoebe was the one pulling the strings. Ardon was nothing more than her errand boy.

The Interstellar Security Bureau agents might move slowly, but they weren’t stupid. Give them this thread and that “locked room” of Ardon’s wouldn’t hold up for five minutes.

Margaret stared at the screen, her breath shallow.

Phoebe had dared the Interstellar Security Bureau to investigate her video because she’d been certain her

Bur altering foundational data-and keeping the original files this pristine? Only one entity in the entire galaxy operated at that level: the inner core of the black market.

Tyrone’s parting words replayed in her head. “I’ll send you a bigger one.”

That settled it. The first anonymous leak-the one that had blown the banned substance story wide open- was Tyrone. And now this post, the one driving a stake straight through Phoebe’s heart, was his work too.

Margaret gripped her Holo-bracelet, her mind on the twins. One with a smile like a salesman, the other ice-cold and utterly unreadable. They’d claimed to run a junk antique shop on the fringes.

Right. Because antique dealers routinely accessed black market core data. Because antique dealers slipped through the Hurst Group’s top-tier security and climbed through penthouse windows in the dead of night.

Steady footsteps pulled her out of her thoughts.

Cheiron walked over, carrying two freshly brewed cups of coffee. He set one beside Margaret’s hand, pulled out the chair across from her, and sat down,

Margaret turned the Holo-bracelet screen toward him. “Take a look at this.”

Cheiron dropped his gaze to the screen, scanning the images and audio. He read fast-within seconds, he looked back up, his gray eyes steady.
