Escape Marine Research: Complete. Survival mode activated... Shay and her Optional Human Parent Darla escape Dr. Cole and make it across the Miami border from the Marine Research Facility, but their safety comes at a hefty price. Shay thought hitting Eric in the head would save him from being reset, but there was too much blood. She has no idea if he survived or what will happen to N.I.C. without her there. Capture of S.H.A.Y. initiated. Hybrid hunter released... If a highly skilled hybrid hunter tracking her through the streets of Miami isn't enough to worry about, Shay's corporate sponsor Endre wants something from her too. Threats are in motion to terminate N.I.C. and pull the plug on Shay's A.M.I.E., essentially killing them both. Shay has no choice but to make a deal with Endre to create inventions for him to sell to potential financial sponsors. But when he ups the stakes and wants Shay to help create a weapon of war, she refuses. She'll just have to find another way to save N.I.C. and find Eric. Shay's death is certain. There is nowhere else to run... Shay has an impossible choice-be captured by the hybrid hunter on the streets or unlinked from A.M.I.E. for refusing to help Endre. Either way, everything she's fought so hard to save will be lost. Love has always been stronger than science, though. And maybe this time...Shay is the one to be rescued.
