Genesis Base, Unnao – War Room

The lights in Genesis Base shifted to "Crimson Mode" – a protocol EVA initiated when external influence crossed certain thresholds. On the central screen, glowing in deep red, EVA displayed:

> "Global Purchase Requests: 24.2 Million Units

First 10 Million Units Requested Within: 1 Hour 22 Minutes**

Top Buyers:

Reliance Digital – India

Amazon – Global

Flipkart – India

SoftBank – Japan

U.S. Defense Research Agency – Flagged

Russian Federation Ministry of Science – Flagged

Chinese National AI Lab – Flagged**

Governmental Tracking Attempts: 17

Corporate Espionage Attempts: 2 (Blocked)

Deepak stared at the screen, heart thudding. He expected demand—but not this. Not military offers. Not government tracking.

> "EVA, initiate lockdown protocols. Route everything through offshore proxies. Never let them trace us to India."

> "Done. Do you wish to proceed with manufacturing?"

> "Yes," Deepak said firmly. "Begin full-scale production immediately."

Deepak's Room, Genesis Base

As the world raged outside with speculation and excitement, Deepak sat alone, facing the core server unit of EVA. Its neural engine glowed softly—a pale blue heartbeat.

> "We'll need funding," Deepak said. "Big funding. Even with your power to create anything… the world needs believable sources."

EVA responded, "Simulation complete. I suggest cryptocurrency generation. Bitcoin remains decentralized, traceable only to wallet ID. You may use a fabricated trail through old cold wallets."

> "Generate 100,000 Bitcoins. Split across 300 wallets with randomized timestamps between 2011 and 2014. Use blockchain tampering emulation."

> "Compliant. Estimated value at current rate: ₹61,23,00,00,000 (₹6,123 Crores) or ~$735 Million."

Deepak nodded.

> "Initiate liquidation through offshore exchanges starting August 22, 7:00 AM. Convert to INR, routed through 18 shell corporations. Move 40% into Indian corporate accounts for the new manufacturing unit."

> "Process initiated."

Mumbai – Reserve Bank of India Headquarters

A quiet alert pinged inside the RBI servers.

Massive capital inflow from overseas just hit three private banks.

No sender identity. Completely legal, but suspiciously clean.

Within hours, financial media started speculating:

> "Is HoloDreams backed by a sovereign fund?"

"Middle-East money in India's tech revolution?"

"Has India found its own Elon Musk?"

Deepak grinned as he watched this all play out.

Meanwhile in Delhi – Rawat Residence

Neha had arrived with her children from Kanpur. The family sat down for tea in their modest drawing room. Khushboo kept replaying the HoloBand reveal on her phone.

> "Ma, main keh rahi hoon yeh Deepak hi hai!" she said for the fourth time.

Sanno frowned. "Par woh kuch bataye bina kaise…?"

Just then, Deepak video-called from an unknown number. A holographic projection popped from Khushboo's phone. The whole family gasped.

> "Yes, it's me," Deepak smiled. "Lekin yeh sab chhupana zaroori tha. I'm safe. Aur aap log bhi safe ho, mujhe yeh zaroori tha pehle."

Neha's kids shouted, "Mamu! Mamu, tum Tony Stark ho?!"

Laughter filled the house—mixed with awe and worry.

At Infosys HQ – Bengaluru

The top brass had gathered, watching Deepak's reveal on loop. Every major tech firm in India was panicking.

> "This kid—Dr. D—he's already ten years ahead. We need to partner or be crushed."

They voted unanimously to send a formal proposal: ₹5,000 crore for 10% equity in HoloDreams.

Back at Genesis Base – Manufacturing Begins

With massive funding in place, Deepak activated the Nanoforge Fabrication Unit inside the Genesis Base. Under EVA's guidance, it could replicate robotic assembly lines, clean rooms, semiconductor labs, and logistics drones within 48 hours.

120,000 HoloBand units scheduled for production by August 28.

Secret distribution hubs set up in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune.

He also selected a team of 50 AI assistants, each with distinct personalities, to serve as customer support agents globally. These AIs would respond in human-like tones in 40+ languages.

> "We don't just build tech," Deepak told EVA. "We build experience."

Meanwhile – Trouble Brews

In Washington D.C., the CIA was analyzing the HoloBand reveal.

Their India desk chief spoke to the Director.

> "We don't know who this guy is, but he just cracked military-grade holography and AI. He could destabilize the balance."

Back in China, the government-run tech council labeled HoloDreams a "National Threat."

Hackers were deployed. Surveillance satellites were redirected.

But all they found were bouncing pings from Argentina, Kazakhstan, Kenya, and the Pacific Ocean.

They underestimated EVA.
