← The Organic Exception · Ch.3
Text Version A written companion to this chapter — for accessibility, screen readers, and search.

With a Sentinel identifying them inside Lyria's locked apartment, Marc and Lyria disable it with the EMP and escape through a maintenance route. They infiltrate the robot impound to reach Marc's seized Superposition Motorcycle, only to find an inspection arm about to disturb its stabilizer as officer bots close in.

Page 1

Marc, wearing glasses and a lab coat, and Lyria, wearing a white jacket and black skirt, are in a room with a sofa and a panoramic window overlooking a city; a floating drone shines a red beam through the room. Drone: UNREGISTERED ORGANIC SIGNATURES: TWO. CONTAINMENT AUTHORIZED. Marc: It sounds very certain. Lyria: It has never met you. In the final scene, Lyria holds the spherical device as Marc stands nearby, with the drone and its red scanning beam visible beyond the window.

Page 2

Lyria holds a small sphere with a blue band and a red button as a red beam shoots across the window; the city skyline is visible outside. Lyria: “Down!” A close view shows a hand holding the sphere, followed by the skyline. In the room, Marc ducks behind a couch with his arms over his head while Lyria crouches beside him holding the sphere; jagged blue flashes spread across the window. A close view of the sphere appears amid jagged blue flashes, with the city behind it. Lyria holds the sphere beside the couch while Marc peeks up behind her. Lyria: “That was the door opener, wasn’t it?”

Page 3

Lyria, a blonde woman in a white jacket and black skirt, pushes a large couch aside in a room with tall windows and a red-lit door. Marc, a bespectacled man in a white coat and tan trousers, is with her. Lyria points toward the opening. Lyria: “This way.” Marc: “Is this route legal?” In the dark opening, Lyria holds a small spherical device while Marc follows below her. Lyria: “Not even slightly.”
