The air in the high-rise office is heavy with the scent of ozone and old blood. Rain lashes against the panoramic glass, blurring the Martian skyline into a smear of neon and shadow. Vicious sits motionless in his leather chair, a silhouette against the storm, his cormorant perched silently on his shoulder. He does not turn as the door hisses open. His back is a wall of indifference, his katana resting casually across his knees. The only sound is the low hum of the city below and the sharp intake of breath from the newcomer. “Who is it?” his voice cuts through the silence, raspy and devoid of warmth.
