Chapter 101
The clock on Camille's office wall
ticked past eleven. Most of Kane Industries had emptied hours ago, but Camille, couldn't rest, not with Victoria's revelations about Herod Preston still echoing in her mind.
A soft knock pulled her from her thoughts.
"Come in," she called.
Hannah Zhao, the Phoenix Grid's chief engineer, entered clutching a stack of rolled blueprints. Her normally neat appearance had frayed, hair escaping its bun, dark circles under her eyes.
"Ms. Kane, I'm sorry to bother you so late, but..." Hannah hesitated.
Camille motioned to the chair across from her desk. "It's fine. What's wrong?"
Hannah sat, placing the blueprints between them. "I've been going over these since the groundbreaking ceremony.
She unrolled the top sheet. "Something feels... off."
"Off how?"
"After finding those modifications to the safety protocols last week, I started comparing
every version of the blueprints."
She pointed to a section showing the Grid's main junction box. "This is what I designed originally," Hannah said, then unrolled a second blueprint. "And this is what's currently on file for construction." To Camille's untrained eye, they looked identical.
"What am I missing?" she asked.
Hannah retrieved a magnifying glass. "Look at the temperature sensors here, here, and here. The specifications are off by tiny increments. Half a millimeter in placement. Two degrees in the trigger threshold. A Camille examined the areas Hannah indicated. "These are very small changes."
"Individually, yes. But collectively? These modifications would allow the junction boxes to overheat without triggering the emergency shutdown protocols. The system would continue operating as if everything we
"How dangerous?"
Hannah met her eyes directly. "Catastrophic failure. Potential explosions at multiple sites. Massive power outages. And the modifications would make it look like design flaws, like Kane Industries had built an inh Camille sat back, the implications hitting her. This wasn't just sabotage, it was
character assassination.
"When did you first notice these discrepancies?" Camille asked.
"I caught some before the groundbreaking, the ones I showed you and Mr. Pierce last week. We fixed those. But these are different. More subtle. It's like someone went through twice, making different kinds of o Or two different people made changes," Camille murmured, thinking of Rose and Herod.
"Maybe." Hannah looked uneasy. "What I can't figure out
how anyone got access. Our system requires multiple authorizations, biometric verification...."

"Someone on the inside." Camille stood abruptly. "Keep this between us for now. I'm calling Mr. Pierce, and then we're going through every blueprint. Every specification."
"That could take all night," Hannah said.
