SYNAPSE PROTOCOL

Memory is the only currency the corporation cannot audit.

In the soaring, gold-and-marble spires of the Techno District, Grand Nexopolis Hospital stands as the pinnacle of clinical perfection. But beneath the polished facade, human consciousness is being treated as proprietary, rewritable ledger space.

Senior Corporate Diagnostician Darius Jones knows the inner workings of high-grade neural wetware better than anyone. When an emergency diagnostic sweep on an executive patient uncovers an unlisted 114.7 Terahertz phantom harmonic, Darius discovers the terrifying reality of Project Synapse-an industrial amnesia protocol designed to extract incriminating memories, selectively ablate organic temporal tissue, and replace dissent with standardized corporate compliance.

With an Executive Directive marking him for immediate decommission, Darius must take his customized, liquid-nitrogen-cooled diagnostic rig off the corporate grid. Armed with a suppressed pathology archive from an erased whistleblower and an optical reflection worm built in the city's abandoned turbine works, he must scale the hospital's broadcast spire before midnight.

If the central array initializes, fourteen million citizens will be permanently formatted. In a city where obedience is hardcoded, one technician must make the final diagnostic connection to ground the signal-or lose his mind to the machine.
