The Zero Point Rite (2026) : 2x1

2 weeks since Deptford. Juno is now in a jointly monitored safehouse under an uneasy ceasefire. She can leave to see her family, friends and work, but only with one operative from each faction accompanying her. She has been given a room, decent food, and 2 completely contradictory accounts of why her life matters. She hasn't chosen either. She wants her old life back. Vane's people treat her with careful deference. Mordred's with blunt practicality. Elias checks on her once and says almost nothing useful. Iris brings her tea and stays longer than necessary. Neither faction notices how much time she is spending with her. Across East London, in a basement planning room, Liam reads on global weaving law while Lilith speaks with a new ally in Lagos on the phone. It's the man she introduced Liam too - a Vane high rank, Ben, who seems to be sympathetic to their cause. Neither says yet what it + their growing influence might become, but they are hopeful they can make a difference somehow.
