Key Scenes

1. The Infiltration

   • Disguised as an interpreter for a diplomatic event, Anastasia gains access to the White House.
   • She begins hacking into a secure system when she hears whispers echoing through the walls. The whispers seem to call her by name, though she’s certain no one knows her identity.

2. The Unseen Terror

   • Anastasia finds the passage to the artifact is riddled with eerie phenomena: lights flicker, shadows move independently, and historical figures appear as apparitions, warning her to leave.
   • One ghost is that of a Civil War soldier who recounts a chilling story of betrayal, hinting that The Keystone Protocol has brought doom to all who sought it.

3. The Chase

   • Security discovers anomalies in the system and begins hunting her. At the same time, spectral entities start appearing in increasing numbers.
   • Anastasia must evade both the living and the dead as the White House’s paranormal defenses awaken.

4. The Revelation

   • In the Oval Office, Anastasia confronts a spectral figure resembling a past president (e.g., Abraham Lincoln or another iconic leader).
   • The figure reveals that the Protocol is cursed, a remnant of Cold War experiments gone wrong, and that its activation would doom humanity.

5. The Climax

   • In a desperate bid to escape, Anastasia must decide whether to destroy the artifact or complete her mission.
   • The final sequence is a heart-pounding escape through hidden tunnels beneath the White House, with ghostly entities and secret service agents in pursuit.
