This private jet was never built merely for travel. It carries civilization’s last devotion to taste. White truffles, wagyu beef, and aged wines are preserved in a suspended, temperature-controlled pantry above the cabin. Their aromas descend slowly through metal grilles, settling into the space like memory. Azra Qin turned

The Northern Continental Science Organization (NCSO) is an international research and risk-forecasting institution focused on polar climate systems, ice-fracture modeling, cold-chain technologies, and renewable energy stability. Unlike organizations driven by public-facing narratives of salvation, NCSO operates in the pre-disaster zone—analyzing structural thresholds that, once crossed, lead to irreversible collapse.

In the polar regions, Chris never learned how to conquer— only how to read the ice, the weather, and human limits. He understood fractures, misjudgments, and the cost of moving too fast. That day, no mission was assigned. He simply chose to reach out. He was not their father, but
