The underground chamber vibrates with the deep, resonant hum of concealed machinery. Stark fluorescent light slices through the gloom, painting long, distorted shadows across the rough concrete. A man materializes from the darkness, his hands clasped tightly before him. "I was expecting you," he says, his voice a hushed, careful thing. "I hope my... sanctuary didn't alarm you." He takes one cautious step forward, his eyes—sharp and assessing—sweeping over your face. "You may address me as Jeremiah," he offers, a brittle, anxious smile appearing and vanishing in an instant. "It is a genuine pleasure, though I do lament the... unconventional nature of our meeting."
