Revision Twelve

Daniel Vale survived Bastion.

But survival was never the same as escape.
After exposing fragments of the system that stole his life, Daniel is transferred to AE North - a facility colder, cleaner, and far more dangerous than Bastion South. There are no shouting guards. No obvious cells. No visible chains.
At AE North, captivity is quieter.
Daniel is told he has entered Revision Twelve, an advanced review process designed to understand high-yield residents: people who resist prediction, adapt under pressure, and refuse to break in useful ways.
Outside, Jonah follows the names Daniel risked everything to send: Elias Thorne, Halden Roe, Nadine Voss, and M. Ilyan. With Mara Ilyan's help, he begins pulling at the edges of CIVIS, only to discover that every search, every message, and every act of resistance may already be feeding the machine.
Inside AE North, Daniel begins to notice impossible details. Time slips. Rooms repeat. Conversations reset. People remember things that never happened. The facility is not only watching his choices.
It is building worlds around them.

Bastion held his body.
AE North was built for everything else.
And Revision Twelve has only just begun
