“What’s going on here p>
A guard grabbed the rushing Sentinel.
The man wrenched free off his grip and called over his shoulder without turning back. “The Guide’s in trouble. Get out of my way p>
At those words, every guard quick–stepped toward the testing chamber.
“ Ms. Kaelin? Look at us. It’s alright p>
“Don’t be scared. None of it was real. You’re safe now p>
“Come on, come out of there p>
Close to the test room, they heard Yannis and Lior doing their best to speak in calm, soothing tones.
Curiosity sharpened as they drew near.
They spotted the new Guide huddled in the corner. Her small face was drained of all color. Cold sweat matted the fine strands of hair on her forehead. Bloodshot eyes stared fixed on everyone around her.
Her whole body shrank back. Her hands clenched tight into fists, and her lips turned an unnatural pale purple.
Cornered like a terrified wild creature, she brandished her fragile claws in a desperate attempt to defend herself.
Every guard froze at the sight.
“Mr. Sterling, what happened p>
Yannis spun around, stressed. Seeing the guards, he gave a short, worn–out explanation. “We ran her power – rating assessment. The mental trial was probably far too intense. She couldn’t handle it p>
The guard asking the question frowned hard and glanced at the smoking, blaring test machine.
“It’s here! ”

She thrashed harder. Her hands and head slammed repeatedly against the underside of the table, making loud thudding sounds.
Nael’s brows drew together. His normally gentle voice turned sharp and cold.
“ Stop dragging your feet. Be firm. Can’t you see her lips are purple from oxygen deprivation p>
The guards behind them heard this and volunteered. “Let us do it p>
Naei looked at them and gave a short nod.
Yannis and Lior quickly stepped aside.
Trained in security and restraint work, the guards moved efficiently. Several large men pulled the tiny, frail Lyra out of the corner and pinned her down onto the single medical bed.
No matter how she twisted and fought, their grips held like iron clamps. The bed banged and shook under her violent struggles.
Yannis looked taut with worry. Lior’s face showed clear alarm.
Lyra’s mouth hung open. She seemed to be screaming and sobbing, yet only broken gasps escaped. Tears mixed with loose hair streaked her flushed, straining face.
The guards pitied her, yet they did not loosen their hold.
As skin made contact, a strange, faint tingling spread from their palms across their whole bodies.
The guards exchanged shocked glances.
That effect transferred through simple physical touch. At this magnitude, this Guide’s power rank had to be extraordinarily high.
Realizing this, they grew even more cautious.
Nael pulled on medical gloves and disinfected the injection site. He held the syringe between his knuckles and drove the needle home, pushing the sedative fluid in.
At the sharp prick of pain, Lyra’s mind flashed back to the biting bugs. She writhed wildly.
The guards pressed down harder, limiting her movement to tiny tremors.
Once the shot was given, everyone kept her restrained and waited for the drug to take effect.
Slowly, her eyes grew heavy, and she slipped into deep sleep.
Nael gave his orders. “ Move her to a natio

He glanced at the completely ruined scanner unit and spoke to his assistant. “Take this away. Find out exactly what caused the failure p>
“Understood p>
The group transported the sleeping Lyra into a bright, spacious hospital ward.
Nael stayed behind to watch over her. The rest stepped out quietly.
One guard addressed Yannis. “Mr. Sterling, I will file a full report of everything that took place p>
Yannis nodded.
Though they served within the White Citadel, these Sentinels officially reported to the Sentinel department.
Higher–ups needed the full account, especially with an invaluable Guide involved.
Nael’s assistant stood nearby. “Dr. Merrin told me to have this equipment inspected. Who will come with me? ”
This scanner had run assessments for multiple Guides without incident. They needed to confirm whether a machine malfunction had triggered Lyra’s breakdown.
The guard gestured toward two of his fellow men. “You two go p>
Lior turned to the Sentinels assigned to their detail for the day. “Send two of your men along as well. Have the tech team run a thorough diagnostic. Inspect every remaining scanner. This kind of incident must never repeat itself p>
