Code X: Human Upgrade- Episode 12 – Project Omega

By-AK

RECAPE-

n Episode 11, Zayel and his team discover the horrifying truth about Project Genesis — Code X was never meant to help humanity, but to control it. Zayel manages to upload the hidden files to the public internet, exposing Dr. Varin’s plan to the world. The leak goes viral, and people everywhere begin questioning what Code X really is.

But instead of stopping them, Dr. Varin lets the upload happen, watching calmly. This confuses Zayel — until he receives a chilling encrypted message from an unknown source:

“Project Omega is live.”

The team realizes the truth they uncovered might only be the beginning of something much bigger. As the episode ends, they prepare to uncover what Project Omega really is — and how deep Varin’s control goes.

EP-12 BEGGINING-

A low beep echoed in the tunnel.

Zayel stared at his wrist console. The message had just vanished.

“Project Omega is live.”

No sender. No trace. Just those four words.

Lira walked closer. “What does that mean?”

Zayel shook his head. “I don’t know. But it wasn’t from Varin.”

Kai and Dex leaned in. “Then who?” Dex asked.

Zayel’s eyes darkened. “Someone inside the system… or someone warning us.”

Above them, in the outer world, news outlets were already buzzing.

The Code X leak had exploded across the internet. People everywhere were asking questions. Governments were demanding answers.

Some called Zayel and the others heroes.

Others called them dangerous experiments.

But one thing was clear: nothing would ever be the same again.

Back underground, the group moved carefully through hidden tunnels, guided by Lira’s old access maps.

They needed shelter.

They needed to figure out what Project Omega was — fast.

They stopped inside an abandoned tech lab. Dusty, silent, but still powered.

Zayel activated the main console.

“Let’s find out what Omega is.”

Files popped up on the screen — encrypted.

Dex tried to break through but the firewall was stronger than anything they’d seen.

“I can’t hack this without help,” he muttered.

Lira pointed to a nearby data port. “What if we trick the system into thinking we’re still part of Code X?”

Zayel paused. “You mean… pretend we’re still inside the program?”

“Yes,” she said. “It might open the door.”

They connected Zayel’s console and activated “simulation mode.”

For a moment, everything went dark.

Then… the room changed.

Holograms lit up.

Voices spoke in the air.

And a large red symbol appeared:

PROJECT OMEGA – STATUS: IN PROGRESS

The files finally opened.

What they saw was worse than any of them expected.

Omega wasn’t just a plan.

It was the next generation of Code X.

A program that used biometric tracking, emotion scanning, and thought prediction to control behavior — without implants.

No wires. No chips.

Just a signal.

And the worst part?

It had already started testing… in the city above them.

Kai backed away. “This is insane. They’re planning to control people just by watching and listening to them?”

Dex stared at the data. “Using phone mics, cameras, wearables… It’s all connected.”

Zayel clenched his fists. “This is why Varin didn’t stop us. Project Genesis was a distraction. He wanted the world looking backward… while Omega moves forward.”

Lira looked up. “So what do we do?”

Zayel breathed slowly. “We stop Omega before it reaches full launch.”

Just then, the screens flickered.

A new video played — a live feed.

Dr. Varin appeared, standing in front of a massive satellite control system.

He looked directly into the camera.

“Hello, Subjects.”

Zayel’s chest tightened.

Varin smiled calmly. “You’ve come far. And you’ve revealed truths I allowed you to find. But you still don’t understand the purpose.”

“You were never just test subjects. You were prototypes. Every step you took, every decision you made… was part of the simulation.”

Everyone stood frozen.

Varin continued. “Project Omega doesn’t begin now. It began the moment I let you escape.”

He leaned forward.

“And now it’s time to end the trial.”

The feed cut.

And the lab lights exploded.

Darkness.

Sparks.

Silence.

Then… alarms.

“Omega Protocol: Purge Phase Activated.”

Zayel shouted, “He’s wiping the system! Erasing everything — including us!”

Lira pulled him up. “We have to go! Now!”

As they ran, Zayel turned to Dex.

“Can you back up the Omega files?”

Dex nodded, already running the transfer on his wrist.

“We’ll lose the lab, but not the truth!”

Outside, far above, clouds shifted over the city.

A strange pulse rippled through the air.

Phones flickered.

Security cams glitched.

And somewhere on a crowded street… a stranger looked up at the sky.

His eyes glowed for a second.

Then faded.
