📖 Days 1-2: The Story So Far ▼

Day 1: The Pitch

Kyle successfully pitched NeuralEdge Technologies to investors, presenting his vision for ethical cognitive enhancement. Everything seemed perfect.

Day 2: Due Diligence Discovery

During investor due diligence, Kyle discovered MORPHEUS Technologies – a shell company he apparently created but has no memory of. An encrypted message from “H” suggested someone else is making decisions.

The darkness is beginning to surface…

⏰ Day 3: Lost Time

6:23 AM. Kyle’s eyes snapped open at his office desk. His neck ached from sleeping at an awkward angle, and his mouth tasted like stale coffee. The last thing he remembered was reviewing competitor analyses around midnight.
Six hours. Gone. Kyle stared at his computer screen, trying to piece together the missing time. His browser history showed activity he didn’t remember—competitor websites, employee LinkedIn profiles, corporate filings. Someone had been very busy.

12:15 AM – Multiple printer jobs initiated
02:30 AM – Badge scan: Conference Room B
04:45 AM – External calls logged (3)
06:15 AM – Badge scan: ENTER (No EXIT recorded)
Kyle’s hands trembled as he noticed documents scattered across his desk—printouts he definitely hadn’t made. Corporate organizational charts, employee contact lists, financial reports from competing startups. All marked with aggressive handwritten notes in what looked like his handwriting, but wasn’t.
STRATEGIC ACTION ITEMS – PRIORITY: IMMEDIATE

Kyle’s phone buzzed. Three missed calls from unknown numbers, and a text message that made his blood freeze: “The work continues while you sleep, Jekyll. I’m much more efficient than you ever were. Check your sent folder. – H”
With growing dread, Kyle opened his email. Sent messages he’d never written. Job offers to competitor employees with suspicious terms. NDAs with unusual clauses. Meeting requests with corporate lawyers specializing in hostile takeovers.
“What have I done?” Kyle whispered to his reflection in the black computer screen. But the face staring back seemed to smile without his permission, and for just a moment, the reflection’s lips moved first.
The transformation was no longer subtle. Someone else was taking control, and they were far more ruthless than Jekyll had ever imagined.
