## Resource

The mission is a success—the power's cut and the system rebooted—but the victory is shattered by the chilling silence of KAELA , the AI they’d come to trust. As Ben and Clara return from the mine with grim tales of humanoid robots organized like an army, a terrifying new threat emerges: ZevraCorp is poised to make a global announcement in a few weeks, and even their own security forces are nervous. Called to an emergency meeting, Ben, Clara, and the community face off with a skeptical Chief Holt , who dismisses their fears about the corporation's escalating presence. But the debate is cut short when a flash warning hits their devices: ZevraCorp forces are closing in on the camp. The team scatters, plunging into the woods in a desperate, drone-dodging escape, finally finding refuge in the abandoned Grand Reach Lodge . With KAELA gone, they know they must act fast. Their plan: a livestream with irrefutable evidence. The final piece of the puzzle falls into place when Mayor Warren brings in Ellen Pritchard , the former official who confessed to taking a bribe to rush PowerCore's permits. As Ellen shares her tearful confession, ZevraCorp executes its final, brutal move: seizing the Reach Dam , plunging the entire town into darkness. The fight for Sawyer's Reach is about to begin, and the world is about to watch.
