Far unknown

Previously

…Amidst the darkness, a single, faint green light pulsed from a USB port. A port I’d seen Thorne use earlier, discreetly plugging in a small, unmarked drive. A drive Sarah hadn't known about. A drive I’d noticed because of the faint scratch on its casing, a scratch that mirrored one on my own battered laptop. A clue. A desperate, last-ditch effort. My vision swam. The last thing I saw before the darkness claimed me completely was Thorne’s face, a mask of cold satisfaction as he watched me being hauled away. The world outside was collapsing, and we, the few who knew the truth, were being silenced, one by one. The future, unknown and terrifying, was rushing in.
