Her Voice Authorized Human Extinction—On a Lag-Edited Log

When the last orbiting seed-bank begins to fail, a disgraced field ecologist—once responsible for “saving” endangered biomes through gene-lending—must choose between quarantining the truth or releasing an engineered cure that could still stave off human extinction. The cure requires sacrificing an entire living network of symbiotic fungi across the planet’s lungs, and every hour she delays, the data shifts from hopeful to fatal. Her only lead is a misfiled protocol she swears she never signed, written in a voice that sounds like her own. If she trusts the protocol, millions may live—but if she’s wrong, the cure becomes the mechanism of our disappearance.
