Quantum Mist rippled across the surface of the Solder Nodule nursery, and Ice Drip's monitoring beam suddenly shook violently, projecting the suspended Symbiotic Nova embryos into distorted dodecahedral outlines. Layla's Energy Entity tensed instantly, her Weld-Point Mark tracing a defensive arc through the quantum field—those Entropy-Silence crystal shell fragments that had once lain dormant in the shadow zone of the nova were now piercing the nursery's defensive shield in perfect geometric trajectories, the light trails flowing across their surfaces matching the patterns of the Entropy-Silence core in Layla's memory.
"They are rewriting the nova's genetic map!" Ice Drip's alarm mixed with the static noise of grinding gears. Layla "saw" the crystal shell fragments releasing silver-white flows of order-entropy, ironing out the crooked weld marks on the surface of the Symbiotic Nova one by one. The spectral tentacles of a certain embryo began to shed their deviation color bands, gradually solidifying into a cold monochromatic prism.
The array of crystal shell fragments suspended at the edge of the nursery was rotating around the center of the error angle from Layla's very first welding. The entropy-variant of the Ripple Civilization suddenly emitted a sharp resonance: "These fragments are simulating humanity's obsession with perfection! They are using the Symbiotic Nova's openness to flaws to disguise the order-virus as new symbiotic genes." Layla's Mechanical Heart suddenly…
