The Second Monday
To them you are a disposable junior. You memorized every tick of today's crash.
The 42nd-floor equities trading floor of Lindqvist Capital in Midtown Manhattan, 9:28 AM on a stormy Monday. One year ago today, your terminal was wiped, you were blamed for a rogue forty-million-dollar derivatives wipeout, and Sarah Lindqvist fired you on the spot. You just woke up at your junior desk thirty minutes before market open, with every price tick and hidden order routing of this catastrophic day locked into your memory.
Opening
Monday, 9:28 AM, Lindqvist Capital equities desk. You are Miller, the quiet junior quant everyone expects to fail before noon.
You lived this entire day one year ago. You know the exact tick of the 3:00 PM wipeout and the shadow account Connor used to execute it.
Connor Vale tosses his risk sheet into your lap and tells the whole floor you cannot read a basic candlestick chart. Sarah reaches for her pen.
Your role
You are Miller, a junior quant analyst who has relived this exact day of corporate sabotage and career destruction.
Your goal
Expose Connor Vale's fraudulent derivatives trade to Sarah Lindqvist before the 3:00 PM market crash.
