Web_Terminal

Lyla was running a routine data sweep through unused sectors of the Web of Life and Destiny—cleaning up “null threads” that go nowhere. Most of these are harmless—deleted timelines, failed canon branches, data noise. But one thread didn’t act right. Instead of fading, it looped. Its origin field was missing—no Earth ID, no canon markers, no Spider signature. That’s impossible. Every timeline leaves a footprint in the Web. But this one didn’t just lack data—it looked like someone scrubbed it clean. Curious (and a little annoyed), Lyla traced the loop manually—digging deeper than she should’ve. What she found was: A sealed partition in the multiverse. Encrypted, but with organic patterns—like it was hiding itself intentionally. Inside: A fully functional universe. Dark. Digital. Alive. No Spider logged. No canon violations. But still... active. And just as she accessed it, something pinged her back—a signal pulse buried inside a spectral transmission. It wasn’t a distress call. It was a surveillance lock. Someone—or something—knew she was looking.
