The Mission to Hack the Satellite

The mission to hack the satellite goes awry when Kaida encounters strange encrypted data that resists her technomancy. She's attacked by a rogue AI defense system but manages to fight back with her energy sword. As she breaches the satellite's core, she discovers fragments of her mother's research, suggesting that The Collapse may have been planned. Just as she downloads the data, a powerful enforcer from the technocracy arrives, forcing Kaida into a fight for survival.

[Kaida and a group of rebels infiltrate a decaying satellite station. The tech is ancient, almost unrecognizable. As Kaida interfaces with the system, encrypted data resists her touch.]

Kaida (frustrated):
"This encryption... it's fighting back."

[Suddenly, the defense systems activate, sending a swarm of drones after them.]

Rebel 1:
"Kaida, we need to move!"

Kaida (concentrating, hacking furiously):
"Just a second..."

[She finally cracks the code, downloading a crucial piece of data, but as they escape, they're ambushed by a technocrat enforcer.]

Enforcer:
"You're coming with me, Lumina."

Kaida (drawing her sword):
"Not today."
