CHAPTER 2: ECHO CYCLE

The posts stopped, but the reactions didn't.
Three hours after the missed livestream, Doyle's handle was trending. Not for the video--for
vanishing. Groups popped up everywhere: "Where TF is Doyle?", "The Egg Pulse Truthers", "The
Live Drop That Never Came."
Then came the reverse engineers. The AV sleuths. Someone claimed to extract the sound of the
"crack" from the dashcam. Said it wasn't pressure--it was patterned. Repeating.
One TikToker reversed it and ran it through a spectrogram.
It matched the seismic pulse logged near the Chile trench. One week before Doyle's post.
