Ava worked fast, scanning each failed enhancement with ruthless focus.
Every piece of tech told the same story.
Lucas's system could improve anything—
Until it couldn't.
[SCANNING DATASET…]
[FAILURE PATTERN IDENTIFIED]
[ENHANCEMENT FAILURE OCCURS WHEN BASE STRUCTURE IS TOO WEAK]
[CONCLUSION: SYSTEM REQUIRES HIGH-STRENGTH MATERIALS TO SUSTAIN UPGRADES]
Ava exhaled sharply.
There it was.
Lucas's system didn't just push things forward.
It demanded a foundation strong enough to handle the change.
If the material wasn't good enough?
It collapsed.
Ava's turned back to the wreckage, sorting through what little could be salvaged.
But her Blueprint System pulsed, flickering with a notification.
[NEW DESIGN PATH AVAILABLE]
[QUERY: REINFORCED BASE MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT]
[OBJECTIVE: CREATE A FOUNDATION THAT CAN WITHSTAND FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS]
Ava's breath hitched.
She hadn't been looking for a solution.
But maybe—just maybe—
She'd found one.
