Chapter 66 - Chapter 65: The Unlikely Alliance

The first to notice the digital manipulation was Cora, the former Stasisist leader, who was now working to understand the flaws in memory-editing tech. She found the Clarifier's fingerprints in the inflammatory rhetoric spreading on the city's network. Knowing she wouldn't be trusted, she went to the one person who would understand the threat: Elias. The Memory Trader and the would-be memory editor formed an uneasy alliance. Using Elias's understanding of authentic memory and Cora's knowledge of corruption techniques, they began to trace the Clarifier's new web, realizing they had to expose this digital puppet-master before the city tore itself apart.
