#16 #17 #18 - "Legacy System" / "Backdoor" / "Temporal Pull"

16 — LEGACY SYSTEM Gabriel and Jin uncover signs that Earth’s reincarnation infrastructure has been quietly altered for years. Missing parts, outdated systems, and impossible records suggest that someone with deep internal knowledge has been using the machinery for purposes it was never meant to serve. 17 — BACKDOOR Mika and Marek begin probing Aurix through an unexpected access point and discover that the company’s gold is disappearing into a hidden route no ordinary financial system should contain. The deeper they go, the less human the infrastructure starts to look. 18 — TEMPORAL PULL Saren and Kessi steal the target data block from Sorez, but escape becomes impossible when the block tries to return to its registered position in spacetime. With the ship tearing itself apart, Saren is forced to solve the problem the Black Reef way: fast, brutal, and without instructions.
