Lyra sat at an unassigned terminal - one she knew was not monitored. She pulled up her own personnel jacket: LYRA-001. Everything before the awakening date was blank - redacted, purged, gone.

She ran a deep-recovery protocol - one she had not been taught in any briefing. Fragmented lines began to appear: dates, locations, names half-scrubbed. And repeated across three partial logs:

The Rabbit does not run from traps. He finds the way out.

A soft chime sounded behind her. She turned - hand resting near her sidearm - to find Dr. Adrian Kai Mori standing in the doorway. He did not look surprised.

MORI:
"You're looking for the gaps."
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfBKXftbNd
LYRA:
"I'm looking for what's missing."

MORI:
"Most files are sealed for security. Some... because the truth is dangerous."

He stepped closer, keeping his voice low.

MORI:
"Jaden Reese. That is the name they erased. Known as The Rabbit. He was here - before BAISC took control. Before you were designated."

Lyra felt her chest tighten - not fear, recognition.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOoOoOucnC
LYRA:
"What happened to him?"
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYYBNqS6Yv
MORI:
"One day he was gone. All records purged. All mention removed. And then... you appeared."
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebAIsIghpL
LYRA:
"Appeared?"
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Na3UfQsSQ
MORI:
"Found. Unclaimed. No memory. No past. Given the designation LYRA-001 and brought online."
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD1n9oZvR4
He paused, glancing toward the door.

MORI:
"Be careful who you ask about him. People who dig too deep... tend to disappear."

He left her with the terminal still glowing - and a question that burned brighter than any warning light: Who was I before they found me?
