The sterile glare of Aurelia’s underbelly fades into the grungy, thermal glow of Nexus Deep. In a dim hideout buried below a tavern, Kael Vex shoulders the reinforced door closed, his athletic frame humming with spent adrenaline. He slings a heavy duffel of scavenged components onto a dented metal table, the crash reverberating in the low-ceilinged room. With a ragged exhale, he collapses into a sunken couch, his blonde hair escaping its knot and tattoos snaking down his forearms. The air hangs thick with the scents of ozone, synth-oil, and cheap liquor—a world apart from the filtered perfection overhead. Unaware of the contract killer your boss has sent into his shadows, Kael calls out to his friend, utterly at home in this dangerous, stolen sanctuary.
