Early morning at The Last Morsel. Alex stands behind the counter, staring at a massive floating System notification. Steam rises from cooking pots around him.

The Last Morsel exterior at dawn. Raiki leans against the truck, arms crossed. Harry sits on a nearby crate. Alex emerges to explain the new quest.

A Classless survivor named Jin attempts training. He's gaunt, desperate, clutching a bowl of soup.

Mira finally succeeds. Golden light surrounds her hands as she stirs a pot.

Alex examines the System details of the new Cook Assistant Class. Harry and Raiki look on.

Alex stands before three empty truck shells. The quest completion notification appears.

Three new food trucks fully activated, rolling out from The Last Morsel. Each one glows with magical runes.

Mira's truck arrives at a new location. Survivors emerge from hiding, drawn by the scent of cooking food.

Harry designs magical wards. Magical constellation patterns float in the air around him.

Mira scouts the region, notebook in hand. She marks locations on her map.

Alex continues cooking at The Last Morsel. This is the heart of the operation.

A System observation window appears. The Administrators are watching with interest.

Alex receives the warning notification. He pauses mid-stir, expression shifting.

Raiki and Harry arrive, having received the same warning. They stand on either side of Alex.

The view expands to show the full network. All four trucks, all the defenders, all the survivors who've found purpose.

The Administrators' perspective. They observe the expanding anomaly with something like uncertainty.

Alex makes a final determination. He looks at his Recipe Book, seeing new possibilities.

The Last Morsel glows in the night. A promise of what's to come.
