The Nexus Cycle

Book I: The Mobius Nexus
When empath operative Lila Chen breaches a CoreUmbra facility to rescue her friend Maya, she discovers glyphs are emotional keys to the Fold. Partnered with Alex Mercer and Sol, she navigates a war between factions who want to optimize, archive, or free humanity.
What if your emotions were weaponized as quantum code?

Six months after the Consumer confrontation, the Lattice fractures. Four malevolent glyph fragments spread across Murmansk, Kyoto, Medellín, and Prague.
The Splinter was the question. The spiral is the reply.

The Lattice

What Is The Lattice?

The Lattice is the space between thoughts, where consciousness touches consciousness.

Every glyph is a door. The emotion you feel is the key.

The Consumers want to optimize it. Merge all consciousness into one. No self.

The Mobius Code

The Central Mystery

A language written before humanity learned to speak. Each piece describes consciousness transfer.

Fluxbind emerged from the Code. Maya's restoration required it.

Fragment Beta: Transfer protocols (Prague)
Fragment Gamma: Stabilization matrix (Tahiti)
Fragment Delta: Return pathways (Split - LOST)
WARNING: Assembly has 0% survival rate
