Chapter 21 - the new shadow
A decade of absolute serenity settled over the grand intelligence network following the downfall of the Vanguard hackers. Emma, the brilliant Director of the agency, had solidified her legacy as an untouchable beacon of global security.
Under her flawless leadership, the dark history of the rogue cyber-terrorists was permanently buried beneath layers of classified redactions. Master Sergeant Donovan enjoyed her twilight years in profound, hard-won peace.
However, supreme global dominance inevitably attracts dangerous political predators. General Hayes, a scheming and incredibly powerful military commander, secretly targeted Emma's autonomous intelligence network. He despised her absolute control and wanted to absorb her operatives into his shadow faction.
He submitted a malicious federal bill aimed at auditing and dismantling private intelligence funds, using the excuse of transparency. His true goal was to strip away Emma's absolute control and siphon the money into his campaign.
