The setting, I-Island, a moving city of scientific marvels, is a perfect pressure cooker. It is isolated, high-tech, and governed by a security system (the "Wolfram" AI) that can be turned against its inhabitants.

It is a showcase of how far the students have come, proving they are more than just trainees—they are heroes in the making. He wants a hard drive
The conflict ignites during the I-Expo, a gala celebrating hero technology. Wolfram and his mercenaries take control of the island’s security system, holding the attendees hostage. Their goal is to steal a briefcase containing a revolutionary invention by David Shield.
