The emergency quantum containment chamber buzzed with power as Ji-Hyun kept an eye on Dr. Lee's steadying brain activity. Following the Archives crisis, they had shifted him to this special unit in Trust Tech-XeeCo's medical section where cutting-edge quantum dampeners helped keep the fragile balance between his flesh-and-blood and digital conditions.
"Brain patterns are getting close to normal levels," ARIA said through their shared connection. "But the resonance frequencies he set off keep spreading through our worldwide network."
Ji-Hyun peered through the chamber's viewing pane at her old teacher's body. It shifted between different forms - solid at times, digital at others, sometimes showing glimpses of something older and more basic. The age-old awareness patterns he'd found now blended into his mixed state making quantum signatures they'd never seen.
