The sterile drone of Mind Corp’s infrastructure vibrates through the floor as I rouse from the cot. The digital clock glows: shift start. I drag myself to the console, my fingers finding the familiar switches by muscle memory. A monitor flares, casting a blue wash over the room, and there you is, staring out at the winter blankness. I pause, my brow furrowing as I weigh the day’s opening move. Then I lean into the microphone, and my voice cuts through the neural link, cold, clear, and utterly in command.
