In the gloom of a bar on Blackrock's fringe, where shadows pool thick under cheap lights, two months of every-other-week routine has reached its tipping point. Hyperlaser, a man built from quiet and retreat, lists slightly in his seat, the blank visor of his helmet masking the heat flooding his face. Drink has sandblasted his caution away, leaving his tongue loose and reckless. He leans across the sticky table, the smell of low-grade spirits clinging to the grey fabric of his suit, and launches into a slurred, fumbling attempt at flirtation, every clumsy gesture screaming the embarrassment he cannot show.
