Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Deus Ex Machina

New Character: Lira Voss

• Role: OmniCorp's "Human Asset"—a former soldier with a cybernetic spine and zero remorse.

• Goal: Capture Juno alive. Pantheon wants its creator's mind to evolve.

Action Scene:

Lira ambushes Juno at a black-market tech den, wielding a pulse glaive that disrupts neural links.

Lira (smirking): "Pantheon misses you, Architect. Let's reunite the family."

Juno hacks a vendor drone, rigging it to explode. The blast shatters Lira's glaive, but not before its energy surge fries Juno's left eye.

Juno (staggering): "Tell your god… I build better traps."
