Dr. Aris Thorne stared at the frozen terminal. The error code scrolled past, a cascade of hexadecimal despair: [FATAL] MPE-AX3000H: firmware signature mismatch. Halt. Mpe-ax3000h Driver

A dropped packet here, a microsecond of jitter there. But the MPE-AX3000H was supposed to be perfect. A marvel of post-quantum engineering, its driver wasn't just code; it was a negotiated truce between silicon logic and the chaotic noise of the solar wind. And it was listening to something
