First Contact
When the overloading Stonehenge Bridge finally tears open, Ra's own council speaks straight through it to Siru, Marcus, Vivek and eleven exhausted cats — confirming the deadline, naming Heliopoly, and ordering the exodus to begin, even as the ancient stones crack apart around them and someone on Earth catches the leak.
The eleven gathered Good Luck Cats have held Stonehenge's Bridge stable for hours past their limit when the feedback finally spikes past control, and what looks like failure turns out to be the network waking for real. Ra's voice breaks through the stone, confirming Acolal's 2086 deadline and naming Heliopoly as humanity's destination — but the surge is shredding the ancient mechanism, and Anubis's interference nearly burns it out completely. The cats anchor the resonance the only way they can: singing the god-court's hymn back across a hundred million miles, call and response, while Vivek, Siru and Marcus fight to keep the structure from coming down on top of them. They close the Bridge safely, but not for free — and not unseen.
