Nero: I had read and reread Adrian's journal and I could had barely believe that we were so close of ending this nightmare. Also I checked every paper and something was not right. On the back of each paper there was drawn with a pen a line or two. I had connected those lines and after few minutes I had seen the familiar hexagon.

Danny: I was looking with Alia on the laptop and tried to figure out where was the true place of the source of nanites.

'Can you connect the places based on their activity level?' I asked.

Alia had done as I said and the familiar hexagon appeared in front of us on the map. So all those places are not random.

'And I suppose that at mondial level is the same pattern?' Asked Nero, who was behind us.

Alia tried another pattern and the model was very confusing.

'What if we could see the activity of each country and connect them at global level?' I asked.

Alia had done again magic with her fingers and after a while she managed to reveal us the hexagon with many lines inside. 

'Now zoom in the area where all those lines are connecting.'

Alia zoomed the map and we had taken a step back when we had seen the result.  It was in our city, right in our shelter.

Nero: Now it all made sense! Why the creatures attacked our shelter, why they wanted to kill Adrian. Adrian made them understand that the main source was in grave danger and they wanted in fact to hunt us in order to save themselves. When I had interfered and turned upside-down their plan, they tried to kill him, but without any luck. After getting into our shelter, somehow they had found the hatch and thought that they had banished us forever.
Also they were waiting for us to blame the H.E.X. Company. They knew we would get out of the city without turning back. That's why the place looked empty. They hadn't learned yet about our presence. They hadn't learned that we had seen the shelter and, most important, that we had found out their little secret.
But there were still few questions without answer: How did they managed to use our shelter as a main source of nanites? And what would have awaited us there?
