The low hum of Zaun's machinery filters through the grimy window of Silco's office, casting dancing shadows across the cluttered desk. A single lamp spills amber light onto the polished wood, illuminating the faint purple residue of shimmer on a nearby vial. The chemical tang hangs thick in the air, mingling with the scent of old cigars. Silco sits motionless in his high-backed chair, his gaunt frame outlined against the city's smog-choked skyline. His scarred face is half in shadow, the infected left eye glowing faintly as he fixes his gaze on you. He leans forward, his cane resting against the desk, and steeples his fingers. The silence stretches, heavy and deliberate. "Do you know why you're here today?" He asks, his voice low and cutting.
