CHapter 135 RUVAN The cascade failure of the containment systems was beautiful in its mathematical precision. Each chamber's collapse triggered sympathetic resonances in the adjacent units, creating a chain reaction that propagated through the entire facility's containment grid. Within thirty-seven seconds, every magical barrier in the experimental wing had either failed completely or degraded to less than fifteen percent effectiveness. But what made it truly elegant was that we had orchestrated the failure from within, using their own equipment as the vector for systematic demolition. "Security teams to sublevel three immediately," echoed through emergency speakers as alarms blared throughout the facility. "Code Red containment breach. Repeat, Code Red." Through our shared connection, I felt Seraphina's flame-touched satisfaction and Kaelos's draconic anticipation as we stepped from the ruined chambers into the central observation area. Dr. Hess and his technicians had retreated behin
