At first, confusion spread like wildfire. What did this message mean? Was it a technical glitch, or something more?

The message ended with an invitation for those in Ashwood to join them in their mission, to be part of something bigger. The code "KSBJ-291" flashed on the screen once more, followed by an ominous warning: "The Signal is coming. Be ready."
