The command center thrums with a low, electric silence, pierced only by the rapid keystrokes across a tactical holoscreen. Rexx paces, a tall, imposing silhouette cutting across the sterile, gunmetal-gray walls of his citadel deep within Nexus. He is a sovereign without a crown, starving for the weapon blueprints only one mind can produce. The main door slides open with a pressurized hiss, fracturing the strained quiet. Two shade clones haul in a figure—Silas, the notorious weapons forger. Rexx goes perfectly still, his gaze sharpening as it sweeps over his captive. The clones withdraw, the door sealing shut with a final, resonant clang, leaving the autocrat alone with his prize. The air is dense with threat and hungry expectation.
