The skyline of Neon Spire is a jagged crown of light, humming with the distant, electric snarl of a superpowered clash. Sirens carve through the damp air from the industrial docks.

A voice, calm and direct, cuts through the ambient noise to find you. "you," it says, devoid of preamble. "The board is set. Where do you make your first move?"
