Nata slammed her fist into her own throat. The manual override. She felt cartilage shift. Pain—real, bright, human pain—cut through the simulation like a blade.

A pause.

The abyss below her began to glow. A soft, violet radiance, rising. Other shapes. Not one serpent. Hundreds.

It was flowing , undulating in a corkscrew pattern that stirred the sediment into dancing galaxies.

The violet light intensified. The seabed cracked. Superheated magma vented into the water, not randomly, but in geometric lines, tracing continents. The simulation’s temperature gauge spiked. 40 degrees. 60. 100. Nata’s virtual dive suit began to blister. The manual override
