At that moment, the voice was impossible to place–neither clearly male nor female, and layered with a distinct mechanical filter. Even the most skilled hackers wouldn’t have stood a chance at reconstructing Isabella’s original tone from that audio.
While Vex was speaking, Eugene, on the other end, received a string of texts from Brett.
“Eugene, you won’t believe this–Isabella’s staying at Summit Manor now. This place is next–level insane!
“Seriously, their security setup is unreal!
“Check it out—I’m messing around with their drone formations right now. These things are crazy smart!
“Eugene, this is absolutely wild!”
Brett kept firing off updates, filling Eugene in on everything happening around Isabella. He even sent over photos of himself at Summit Manor.
In the shots, he was piloting the drone formations, sending them zipping across the sky, switching between all sorts of defensive security protocols–having the time of his life.
Around him, a team of top–tier security personnel watched with careful smiles, patiently walking him through various drone defense systems.
Some of those security programs were so advanced that even the on–site staff didn’t fully grasp them. They had to check in with headquarters, who then had to reach out directly to Isabella for clarification before looping back to Brett.
Meanwhile, Isabella was multitasking like a pro–guiding the Carter Group team through a series of experiments and breakthroughs on the Neural–Network Interface System via virtual conference, while casually fielding questions from the security company on the side.
Over at Carter Group, the team had initially been skeptical about whether Vex could really help them push past every technical hurdle in such a tight timeframe. It wasn’t that they doubted her expertise–the detailed materials she’d provided earlier had already proven her deep technical knowledge–but time was their biggest enemy.
Everyone in that virtual lab was a lead researcher or a top expert in their field, handpicked by Carter Group for a reason.
But as they’d stressed before, the clock was ticking way too fast. That time pressure meant they couldn’t work at their full potential, and even with Vex leading the charge, a quiet thought lingered in the back of their minds: solid theory on paper didn’t always translate to smooth sailing in live testing.
That doubt, however, vanished completely as Vex guided them through one obstacle after another.
“Unbelievable,” someone murmured under their breath.
Every issue that came up, Vex handled with unsettling ease. Every practical problem seemed to already have a solution prepared–she’d deliver the answer almost before they’d finished describing it, then promptly move on to the next challenge.

It made thre seasoned researchers feel like kids in a candy store–step up, get your treat, and make room for the next person. Since when did cutting–edge research feel this straightforward?
These were scientists used to running their own labs, tackling problems that took weeks or months to untangle.
They’d never experienced a workflow this fluid–not even back in their assistant days. It was as if Vex could anticipate every snag before it happened, and she always had a fix ready to go. And not just any fix–each one was precise, tailored, and spot–on.
Then another issue would pop up, and again, she’d have the answer.
One of them couldn’t help but think to himself. Working with Vex feels like being back in kindergarten—in the best way possible.
