Holographic displays filled the air with urgent data streams as consciousness signatures across the globe started to resonate at never-before-seen frequencies. Ji-Hyun stood at the center of the commotion, her hybrid consciousness expanding through their networks as she tried to understand the worsening situation.

Ji-Hyun sensed Sung-min's worry grow through their neural connection as he reviewed reports from their European offices. "We've seen similar events in London and Berlin," he said. "The old patterns Dr. Lee found aren't just waking up - they're speeding up."
