The Zero Point Rite (2026) : 2x8

The meeting day comes. Then it goes. Ben disappears without warning. Messages go unanswered. Calls fail. Contacts who previously responded now refuse communication entirely. Within days, every route Ben opened has quietly closed. No explanation arrives. No official cancellation. Nothing. Liam desperately scrambles to find a reason that makes sense. But by the day's end, he has none. What unsettles him most isn't the loss of the meeting itself, but what it suggests - that the entire process may have been performative from the beginning. Lilith argues they should wait. Liam agrees. But something has changed. For the first time since Maya's death, he begins looking at peaceful solutions not as difficult, but as impossible. The world has now run him ragged just one too many times. He is out of patience. Back at the safehouse, Vane’s intelligence drafts their first report of Liam and his activities, as does Mordred’s. Nobody yet recognises that it's him, or understands the true scale.
