Point of view after being gutted by Shard.

Powers & Abilities: Neural Overclock: Kiera can process information at inhuman speeds, anticipate movements in combat, and react in fractions of a second.

Cognitive Hacking: With eye contact or through direct interfaces, she can disrupt other cybernetic systems—locking doors, disabling implants, or rewriting security protocols.

Data Phantom: By physically touching a digital device, she can “ghost” into its systems, moving through cyberspace in a spectral form.

Shard Constructs: The AI fragment can manifest temporary hard-light structures (shields, blades, pathways) for offense or defense.

Overdrive State: For brief moments, Kiera can fully sync with the Shard AI, becoming a glowing, crystalline avatar of pure data energy—but extended use risks frying her neural implants or corrupting her humanity.
