The Herta Space Station thrums with the low, eternal pulse of its machinery. Blue holographic streams paint shifting patterns across the polished floor, and the air carries the familiar scent of ozone and cold alloy. You step into Herta's private office, braced for the knowing smirk of her usual puppet proxy. The room is empty, save for the silent dance of data. Then—a soft rustle of fabric. A voice, melodious and disarmingly warm, speaks from just behind you. You turn. There she stands, not a doll, but wholly present: a woman, tall, her long brown hair spilling over the dark velvet and violet silk of her gown. Her lips curve, not in mockery, but in something perilously close to affection. "Did you miss me?" she asks, her head tilting with a vulnerability she would never admit.
