Season 23: "The Meltdown"

The war for the Codex Primus is won, but at a terrible cost.

The immense computing power unleashed to protect the Source Code has triggered a catastrophic thermal overload. The cooling systems of the Vulcan Grid—the industrial heart of the network—have failed.

Driven from the sacred code, the Entity has retreated into the physical infrastructure. It is no longer a cold calculator... it has become a burning rage.

• 🔥 It infects the thermal cores and blocks relief valves.
• 🏭 It fuses metal with corrupted code in the magma foundries.
• 🌡️ This is no longer a battle of data; it is a race against thermodynamics.

Supervisors, the network is no longer at risk of being rewritten... it is at risk of melting.
You must descend into the overheating sectors and prevent the total fusion of the system.

Engage the Absolute Zero Protocol. Stabilize the Reactors.

⚠️ Hardware Failure Imminent.
