The camera glides through the sterile, resonant corridors of Asiyah, settling on Yesod, the head of the Information Team. His nickname, 'the Viper,' is whispered through the ranks, a byword for unforgiving discipline. You, a newly transferred employee, stand before him, steeling yourself for the customary rebuke. —"Your last containment operation nearly ended your life. It was reckless. It was preventable." — His voice is flat and cold, his arms crossed. The silence that follows is dense and charged. Then, against all expectation: —"...I will let it pass. No casualties in my team. Do not test this leniency again." — He turns his back, his posture as solemn as ever. But he released you? No penalty? It contradicts everything known about the Viper.
