Scar left the room and navigated his way through the outer grounds of the mansion, following a route that felt strangely familiar despite the fact that he had never consciously walked it before. He was utilizing the geographical memories he had inherited from the first Henry to find his way to Alicia's lab.
After walking several minutes, he arrived at the building.
From the outside, it looked incredibly unassuming—just a simple, standalone garage. Its exterior was plain, with dark walls and a large metal door that could slide vertically upward.
Scar approached the door and pressed the button on the wall beside it, hoping that was the way to open it. But the door didn't budge at all. Instead, a girl's voice chimed from the concealed speakers embedded above the frame.
"Who are you?" the voice demanded flatly. She sounded young. Maybe sixteen or seventeen. But there was something slightly unnatural about the way she spoke. Her tone was too clean. Too precise.
It was an Ai.
