The clock tower loomed ahead, shadows dancing.
The group converged at midnight, eyes scanning.
Thane pulled out Max's phone. "The footage is safe."
Emily exhaled. "What now?"
Kael: "We dig deeper into the Legacy Project."
Julius grinned. "And find out who's behind it."
A figure emerged from the shadows.
Alex approached, looking nervous.
Alex: "I can help. I know things."
Thane raised an eyebrow. "Why trust you?"
Alex handed over a folder. "This proves Elysium's involvement."
The group exchanged looks. *Chapter 7: The Truth Revealed*
The group huddled around Alex, eyes fixed on the folder.
Alex: "This contains evidence of Elysium's secret experiments."
Thane opened the folder, revealing documents and photos.
Julius whistled. "This is heavy stuff."
Kael's jaw clined. "Elysium's been playing with fire."
Emily's voice shook. "What's the Legacy Project?"
Alex hesitated, then spoke. "A program to create... enhanced humans."
The group fell silent.
Thane: "Using who?"
Alex's eyes dropped. "Students. Like us."
Thane ask how. Alex said he didn't know about it
The group's eyes snapped to Alex.
Julius: "What do you mean you didn't know?"
Alex looked up, eyes wide. "I didn't know about the experiments. I thought... I thought it was just a cover-up, not... this."
Thane's expression hardened. "You were involved, Alex. You brought us the evidence."
Alex shook his head. "I was played. I didn't know they'd taken it this far."
Emily's voice softened. "Alex, what did you think was going on?"
Alex's voice cracked. "I thought it was about... exposing Elysium's corruption. Not... enhancing humans."
The group exchanged skeptical looks.
Kael: "Why should we believe you?"
Alex pulled out his phone. "I have records. Conversations with... the person who recruited me."
Thane snatched the phone. "Let's see.
Thane scrolled through Alex's phone, eyes narrowing.
Julius peered over his shoulder. "Anything?"
Thane's jaw clined. "A coded message. 'Project Elysium: Phase 2 activated.'"
Kael frowned. "Who sent it?"
Alex shook his head. "I don't know. It was an anonymous number."
Emily's eyes widened. "Guys, if Elysium's involved..."
Thane cut in. "We need to dig deeper. Find the connection."
The group nodded, determination etched on their faces.
Suddenly, the clocks tower phone buzzed.
Thane answered – a robotic voice spoke. "Elysium knows. Run."
The group exchanged looks.
Julius: "Time to bounce."The group sprinted from the clock tower, shadows chasing.
The robotic voice echoed in Thane's mind. "Elysium knows."
Kael glanced back. "They're closing in."
Emily's breathing quickened. "Where do we go?"
Thane led them to an abandoned alley.
Julius: "Now what?"
Thane pulled out the data chip. "We upload this. Expose Elysium."
Alex frowned. "But they'll know it's us."
Thane's grin was cold. "That's the point."
The group huddled, planning their next move.
Suddenly, Elysium drones buzzed overhead.
A holographic screen flicked on – Dr. Zara's face.
"Elysium's patience ends now."
