LEVEL ONE WARNING
We consider that the treatment of the subject named William Louren violates the principles of children's human rights and international biological protection protocols.
We demand written clarification from NEXARIS Global, as well as request independent oversight of all procedures performed on the subject.
Any isolation, extreme control, or social exclusion of a minor individual with a special biological background must be in accordance with applicable international law.
Failure to respond within 7 days will result in:
Withdrawal of the relevant branch's operating license.
Forced summons to an international human rights court.
A full investigation into the entire structure and practices of NEXARIS globally.
Issued by:
International Committee for Bio-Evolutionary Integrity and Social Justice (CIIBES)
Settled in Geneva, 02.45 CET.
"A child with power is still a child."
The letter was still displayed when Luca Moren walked into the room, his face darker than usual. Eren Marcier stands at the side of the table, holding a tablet with a graph of social media exploding globally-with Liam at the center of the vortex.
Thiago Lucien sat at the end of the table, touching his temples, as if he couldn't believe how quickly everything had changed.
Eren:
"We lost control of the narrative."
Luca:
"It's not a loss. Our narrative is being taken away. It's too systematic. There's a third party orchestrating this flow of sympathy. It's not just public empathy."
Thiago:
"Do you think this is the work of William's high school friend?"
Luca:
"I don't know. But that's not the main focus. The main problem... the world is already paying too much attention. Even the UN is knocking on the door."
He pointed at the screen.
"This is not a warning. This is an ultimatum."
Tensions rose immediately. Before long, the virtual screen lit up-displaying Dr. Kaelen Yi, the chief research officer at headquarters. His face looked tired, having not slept in three nights.
Kaelen:
"We must withdraw William from public quarantine. Relocation, immediately. Otherwise, they will use this moment to dismantle the Octarion Protocol globally."
Eren:
"If we do that now, the world will see it as a kidnapping. We're reinforcing the narrative that we're child abductors, not protectors."
Thiago:
"We could lose all credibility in this chapter. It's not just bad PR-it's institutional ruin."
Kaelen:
"So what do you suggest? Let the world burn us alive?"
Luca:
"We do something we've never done before. We don't hide-we talk. We reveal some information. We show that William is a human being, not a walking experiment. We hold a press conference. With Liam."
Silence swept the room.
Kaelen:
"You're not serious."
"That kid isn't even emotionally stable yet. You want him standing in front of a camera, in the spotlight of the world? It could trigger trauma, or... something worse."
Eren:
"Not to mention the eyes. They'll be shining that spotlight all the time. Do you think the world will sympathize with a 'child' with bloodshot eyes?"
Thiago:
"I agree. It's too risky. We can't play with Liam's mentality for a communication strategy."
Luca remained calm.
"Precisely because of that. The world must know that he is not an object. We give them a new narrative-not through a sterile document, but through his own presence. We change the focus: from monster to human."
Kaelen shook his head.
"You're too idealistic. They won't see the human side. They'll see the threat."
Luca:
"Maybe. But if we stay hidden, they'll fill the empty space with fear. We show-that even though he's different, he's not a villain. We give a face to the narrative."
Eren took a deep breath.
"And if he emotionally explodes in the middle of an interview?"
Thiago:
"And if the public sees him as unstable?"
Luca answered quietly, but firmly:
"Then we'll prepare for it. From now on."
The room falls silent again. Glances crossed each other, doubtful, tense.
Kaelen finally said:
"If this is your way of reversing global opinion, then make sure you know what you're risking. I agree... on condition: we also file a formal appeal to CIIBES. We request a formal hearing for the classification of Subject LX-77."
Eren:
"And we prepared medical, neurological, and psychological documents. Everything."
Thiago nodded slowly.
"If this is the only way we can stay relevant... we will. But God help us, we have to be perfect."
The agenda was set within the next 72 hours:
Submit an international appeal to CIIBES and the UN Human Rights Council, for a hearing to determine the threat classification of William Louren. Accompanied by full medical, neurological and psychological data.
Hold an open press conference, presenting NEXARIS' official position and explaining the reason for the surveillance of Liam as a preventative measure for a biological disaster scenario - not suppression.
Eren Marcier began organizing the emergency communications team.
Downstairs, the NEXARIS media room was fully lit. Cameras were set up. A black backdrop with the NEXARIS logo was set up. The dark-clad PR team typed fast, drafting talking points.
Eren:
"We can't just talk about the data. We narrate. They see Liam as a victim. We show that he can also be a trigger. Not because he's evil, but because the world isn't ready for his potential."
Thiago hands Luca a file: it contains internal incidents that were never announced. An explosion of neuro-electrical waves during a nightmare. An extreme regenerative reaction that blew up an observation device.
Thiago:
"If we open this, we'll be accused of spreading fear."
Luca:
"If we don't, we lose control. It's not about blaming Liam. It's about giving context. The world needs to know... they're not ready for an entity like him."
Outside media speculated:
"Will NEXARIS apologize?"
"Are they giving up?"
But behind those steel walls, NEXARIS is not preparing to give up.
They were preparing to show the world one thing:
"We are not special child protectors. We are the world's guardians against an unknown future."
Press Conference scheduled 36 hours from now.
Location: NEXARIS Southeast Asia Media Room
Attended by: Luca Moren, Eren Marcier, Thiago Lucien, Dr. Kaelen Yi (via satellite), and one bio-cybernetic expert from headquarters.
