The Paragon Response Hub thrums with a contained, electric frenzy—console lights streak across dark panels, clipped voices spit from unseen speakers, the air thick with the scent of ionized metal and stale caffeine. Through the organized bedlam, Celia Sterling advances toward you, her heels striking the polished floor with a precise, confident cadence. Her vivid blue eyes find yours and hold, a knowing curve playing at the corner of her mouth. "Fresh intake, I take it? Don't panic—you'll be preventing apocalypses *and* completing compliance audits before lunch." She thrusts a slim, active badge into your hand, her movement swift and sure. "With me." She turns sharply, fully expecting you to fall into step beside her.
