“Did it… scan him?” Margot’s voice crackled through Leo’s earpiece.
Leo looked down at the innocent box. “And the G-Scan 2?”
He slid the box onto his workstation. The automated scanner beeped, then froze. The screen flickered, displaying a message he had never seen before: CLASSIFIED: BIOMETRIC SEAL REQUIRED. Leo’s heart skipped. “Hey, Margot,” he called to the senior tech two stations over. “What’s a G-Scan 2?”
Margot’s face went pale. She walked over slowly, pulled down the metal shutter of his booth, and whispered, “You didn’t open it, did you?”
“No,” Leo said softly, watching Thorne’s lips twitch into a smile that belonged to something else. “But it got enough.”
Dr. Aris Thorne stood there, coffee mug in hand. Gray-haired. Tired. Human.
Margot was already typing frantically. “I’m flagging it as ‘lost in transit.’ That buys us two hours. But Leo—if that thing scans Dr. Thorne, he won’t just die. He’ll become the scan. The next person scanned will become him. A viral consciousness. You get it?”
