Inside the vault, rows of computers and suspended holographic screens filled the interior, giving the space the feeling of a sealed command core rather than a simple storage room. Cold white light spilled from embedded panels in the walls, reflecting off dense layers of alloy and composite plating.
Set directly into the inner walls were several massive storage boxes, arranged in precise formation. Each one was enormous, nearly the height of two adult humans stacked together. Thick locking seams ran along their edges, and faint indicator lines pulsed intermittently across their surfaces.
They looked silent.

The moment Grey focused on them, his expression sharpened.
Every box was sealed by multi-layered, military-grade encryption.
"They really know their way with technology," Grey muttered quietly, a hint of genuine admiration in his tone.
