Chapter 28: Jinryong Technology (5)
The Special Observation Room at the Nexus Node headquarters—located in the heart of Babel City and owned by the communications megacorp—was strictly off-limits to regular employees.
It was a hidden space, not even listed on the central elevator panel. Only a handful of staff with special clearance even knew it existed.
Inside, it was packed wall-to-wall with cutting-edge tech.
Server racks filled the room from floor to ceiling, and a massive holographic map floated in the center, dominating the space.
Dozens of screens lined the walls, each streaming a different data feed without pause.
The senior surveillance officer on night duty sat nursing a lukewarm coffee, enduring the slow bleed of boredom.
And then—
A sharp, piercing alarm blared through the observation room.
BEEEEP.
He instinctively looked up.
On the real-time holographic map of all of Babel, a single red dot suddenly shifted position.
His fingers sliced the air, enlarging the hologram.
