The interior of the iceberg was a cathedral of frozen geometry. Massive, translucent ribs of ice arched overhead, embedded with glowing conduits that pulsed with a rhythmic, cold blue light. In the center of the hollowed-out frost sat the Glacial Forge—a platform of black, non-reflective carbon fiber.
Atop the platform, the child known as the First-Born was suspended in a vertical stasis pod. The boy's skin was paper-thin, his veins glowing with the silver "Source-Key" code that was being slowly siphoned into the UPG's global network.
