He selected Stream 1 . The video shifted from the concrete room to a live view of a keyboard. Someone was typing. A woman in a blue uniform, her back to the camera, fingers dancing across a terminal. Above her, a monitor displayed voltage graphs and a timer: 00:04:32 until load balancing cycle .

The red light on the control box blinked faster.

The video feed was low-res, but clear. A concrete room. Racks of industrial relays. And in the corner, a single red light blinking on a control box marked SCADA - REMOTE ACCESS . He recognized the logo on the wall. It was the same county power grid his water facility synced with.
