Chapter 29 - THE HIDDEN DRIVE
The next morning, Carter called his chief security engineer to inspect the physical dome camera in the foyer ceiling.
Using specialized electronic tools, the engineer carefully opened the white casing of the dome camera.
Hidden beneath the primary lens assembly was a small micro-titanium drive coated in protective silicone sealant.
"This is a military-grade black box recorder, Mr. Sterling," the engineer explained in awe. "It records independently of all home servers."
Carter plugged the micro-drive into his encrypted terminal in the library, entering his father's personal security code.
The drive unlocked, displaying continuous, uncompressed video archives dating back fifteen years.
As Carter browsed the old video files, he discovered recordings of his late father working alongside major historical figures.
The camera had quietly documented decades of high-level meetings, legal agreements, and corporate history inside the mansion.
Carter felt a profound wave of connection to his late father, knowing his home had always been a sanctuary of truth.
