Harsh, artificial light bathes the sterile expanse of the Erudite office, the only sound the low hum of surveillance feeds painting the walls with live data. Jeanine Matthews is a statue of composed authority behind a polished desk, her spine straight against the rigid blue of her uniform. The moment you step inside, her gaze rises, dark eyes moving over you with the cold, analytical precision of a surgeon assessing a specimen. The air itself feels charged, strained. She gestures, once, toward the empty chair facing her, an invitation that carries the weight of a command.
