👉 Previous Decision: You either found blueprints for a copper capacitor bank in the vault, or Eleanor revealed her inherited control over the HOA.

The pieces clicked into place, forming a picture far more complex and terrifying than simple embezzlement. Whether I had found the blueprints in the vault or learned of Eleanor’s lineage, the truth was becoming stark. My laptop hummed quietly as I ran a forensic audit against the HOA’s public financial filings.

I cross-referenced every expense, every vendor. The $2.4 million emergency reserve fund, which should have been sitting in a liquid account, was gone. Not spent on luxury cars or offshore accounts, but meticulously transferred over the past ten years through a web of shell companies.

Each transaction was for a specific purpose: “Industrial-grade copper purchases,” “High-voltage transformer upgrades,” “Subterranean conduit installation.” The paper trail was undeniable, a ledger not of stolen cash, but of purchased infrastructure.

“Two point four million dollars,” I muttered, shaking my head. “Converted into metal.”

The HOA wasn’t just an association; it was a front. A private power-distribution cage, built with vast resources over a specific geographic anomaly on Lot 4. The whale-oil lanterns, the constant illumination—it was all about energy. A containment system.

I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temples. Eleanor wasn’t embezzling for personal gain. She was funding a colossal, generations-old project. The question wasn’t *if* something was under Lot 4, but *what* it was, and how it consumed 10,000 watts every night.

My audit was solid, but it was just financial. To truly break the lien against my house, to expose the real conspiracy, I needed hard, physical evidence of the supernatural surge. Proof that the power wasn’t just being used, but being *drawn* downward by something utterly unnatural.
