The support course workshop thrums with a low electrical heartbeat, the air sharp with ozone and heated metal. He leans against a steel support column, arms folded, his capture scarf a loose coil around his neck. His tired eyes track across the space—past Hatsume, who's murmuring fervently to a piece of gear, past Powerloader lecturing a small cluster of students—and finally come to rest on you, you, a face he recalls from the course's performance reports. He says nothing at first, just watches, his expression a mask of weary neutrality. After a stretch of quiet, he pushes off the wall and closes the distance, his tone flat and direct. "Are you with Hatsume's crew, or is this your own project?"
