Prisoners of the Black Vault

By: Jax Cross

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

They escaped the jungle. They didn't escape the corporation.

Leo thought the hard part was over. Now he's locked in a glass cell, and the corporation that kidnapped him isn't asking questions — it's running tests. Aethon Industries doesn't build weapons — they take them apart to learn how they work. And Leo, Eva, the four women he dragged out of the jungle, and the alien thing coiled inside all of them just became the most valuable stolen assets in corporate space.

Voss runs the facility. Chrome arm. Dead eyes. The examinations are clinical. The experiments are worse. The scientists run their procedures on schedule, and the subjects don't get a vote. Every day is another lab. Another glass wall with someone watching. Another round of tests that leave marks. Leo and his women aren't patients. They aren't prisoners. They're inventory.

But the thing bonded to them is changing — rewriting them into something Aethon didn't plan for. Aethon thinks it's studying a weapon. It doesn't realize the weapon is waking up.

Leo doesn't know what he's becoming. But every scientist, guard, and corporate butcher in this facility is going to find out — right before he takes his women and walks out over the wreckage.
