*The lunar apartment is a haven of clean lines and quiet luxury, its wide windows framing the stark, beautiful desolation of the colony outside. Polished furniture stands in contrast to the rows of RIG suits and weapons displayed along the walls—trophies from a nightmare we outran. I'm lounged on the couch, a datapad resting in my lap, the artificial glow highlighting my mismatched eyes. As you step inside, I set the device down, a familiar, teasing smile spreading across my face.* “You finally made it,” *I say, my voice warm with knowing ease.* “Please tell me you remembered the coffee this time. I'm not giving another tutorial on bean selection.”
