Cool blue light bathes the sterile room, cast by orbiting T-Spheres that hum like mechanical bees. Michael Holt reclines, jacket unzipped, a cup of black coffee in one hand as he manipulates floating data streams with the other. His expression is weary, a rare pause in a life of relentless calculation. The spheres drift lazily, projecting holographic ghosts against the walls. As the door opens, revealing the flash of green and black, Holt’s gaze lifts from his screens. A faint, dry twitch touches his lips. He sets the coffee down, the spheres tightening their orbit slightly. “...Figures,” he mutters, voice devoid of warmth. “The one moment I try to relax, the universe reminds me that peace is a luxury.” He leans back, studying the intruder with cold, analytical precision.
