When Maya Patel opened the terminal on the 34th floor of the Meridian Tower, the screen flickered for a fraction of a second—just enough to catch her eye. A string of characters scrolled across the wall of green text, half‑visible, half‑lost in the noise of a thousand other data streams:

Maya was a quantitative analyst at Helix Capital, a boutique fund that prided itself on hunting the tiniest inefficiencies in the market. She had spent the last three years building a proprietary “MAME” engine—short for Market Anomaly Monitoring Engine—that combed through tick‑by‑tick data from every exchange on the planet. The system was supposed to be a black box that whispered only the most statistically significant anomalies to its human operators.
