Parfait. Voici la traduction complète du Chapitre 4 en anglaisHÉLIOS Surveillance Center — Urban Sector North
22:41
A sharp beep broke the silence.
Then another.
Then a low, heavy alarm—one no ordinary human could hear.
On the central screen, an anomaly had appeared.
— Unregistered luminous signal detected, the artificial voice announced.
— Origin: Street 17-Delta.
— Intensity: abnormal.
Data streams exploded across the displays.
Too fast.
Too strong.
An officer looked up immediately.
— Zoom in.
The image stabilized.
A female silhouette. Hood up.
Her right hand was still faintly glowing.
Then—
THE STREETLAMP EXPLODED.
The screens flickered.
Absolute silence filled the room.
A man slowly stood up behind the consoles.
Long dark coat. Cold, unreadable eyes.
His badge bore a simple emblem:
HÉLIOS — Extermination Division.
— Stop everything.
The room froze.
— Confirm the analysis.
The synthetic voice replied:
— Energy signature compatible with LUMI-PRIME spectrum.
— Provisional classification: LYMEN.
The man inhaled calmly.
— Genetic confirmation?
— Impossible at this distance.
— However, signal purity exceeds known Alpha thresholds.
A technician whispered:
— It could be… an Omega.
The man turned sharply toward him.
— Do not use that word lightly.
He returned his gaze to the screen.
The girl looked panicked.
Unstable.
Dangerous.
— Deploy the drones.
—
High above the city, three silent units detached from their orbital station.
No lights.
No sound.
Predators.
— Drones H-17 to H-19 deployed.
— Mode: Passive Hunt.
On screen, the target started running.
— She's fleeing.
— Of course, the man replied calmly.
— Lymen sense fear before they understand it.
The drones descended.
Then—pause.
Something moved into the visual field.
An absence.
— What is that? an operator asked.
The data spiked wildly.
— Dark interference detected…
— Secondary anomaly…
— UNKNOWN SIGNATURE—
The system hesitated.
— Signature compatible with VOID.
The control room erupted in murmurs.
— Impossible…
— A Void here?!
— And with her?!
The man smiled—for the first time.
— Interesting.
On-screen, the darkness expanded, swallowing the luminous target.
— Drone losing target lock!
— Reset tracking!
A blue beam fired.
It struck the darkness—and vanished.
— Drone H-17 lost.
The man folded his hands behind his back.
— So the rumors were true.
He turned toward a secondary console.
— Log this. — Lymen confirmed. — Active Void presence. — Early synchronization.
He paused.
— The prophecy has begun.
—
Minutes later.
The drones scanned the area—but both targets were gone.
— They vanished, sir.
— No thermal trace.
— No residual signal.
The man stepped closer to the frozen image on screen.
An abandoned factory.
— Where did they go?
Algorithms spun.
Then an answer appeared.
— Spatial anomaly detected.
— Structure classified as ANCIENT.
— Zone status: UNTRACKABLE.
Silence.
— A sanctuary… someone murmured.
The man's smile faded.
— Of course.
— Should we deploy a unit? an officer asked cautiously.
He raised a hand.
— No.
— Sir, it's a Lymen—
— Precisely.
He turned away.
— You do not breach a sanctuary. Not yet.
He cast one last look at the frozen image of the girl.
— Prepare Phase Two.
— Phase Two? the room echoed.
— Yes.
His voice was calm.
Too calm.
— Extended Hunt.
— Track secondary Bearers.
— Monitor residual zones.
— And most importantly…
He stopped.
— Identify everyone orbiting her.
A secondary screen lit up.
Points scattered across the city.
Red.
Blue.
Green.
Gray.
— The generation is gathering, he concluded.
A thin smile formed.
— And we will be there to extinguish it.
Deep within HÉLIOS, a new silent alarm activated.
LYMEN PROTOCOL: ACTIVE
The war had officially begun.
