She held up a slide of the red sludge. “It’s not rust. It’s a rare alloy of iron and a synthetic polymer that only forms under high pressure and temperature—like a mini‑reactor. Whatever’s happening downstream is creating a chemical that’s seeping back up the riverbed.”
Mara’s eyes narrowed. “Who would do that?”
The driver, a gaunt man with a scarred face, turned. “You shouldn’t have come here,” he snarled. “You don’t understand. This is the future. The corporation— Helix Dynamics —they need this alloy for their new energy cells. The river is just a shortcut.” the pitt s01e11 bdmv
