The Ulysses Protocol

They told the world it was a medical breakthrough designed to heal the human mind.They lied.Systems architect Rachel Frost believed her pioneering neural mapping project at NeuroDyne Corporation would revolutionize modern medicine. But when a routine clinical trial ends in violent convulsions and a dying patient recites classified corporate coordinates, Rachel uncovers a horrifying reality: her life's work has been weaponized into Project Ulysses, turning living human brains into biological hard drives and overwriting free will.Forced to sabotage her own laboratory to protect the data, Rachel flees into the night with the encrypted master drive. With ruthless corporate hit squads hunting her and biometric dragnet surveillance tracking her every breath, she teams up with John Cross, a disillusioned ex-operative desperate for redemption.Together, they face a terrifying race against the clock. NeuroDyne is preparing to broadcast a mind-altering firmware patch to millions of civilians, and Rachel's own algorithm anticipates her every move. To save humanity's autonomy, she must breach the heart of the machine before free will is deleted forever.
