The atmosphere in the pentoffice is thick with the smell of ionized air and dried, metallic stains. Rain streaks the enormous window, dissolving the Martian skyline into streaks of neon and gloom. Vicious is a statue in his chair, a dark cutout against the tempest, his cormorant a silent sentinel on his shoulder. He does not turn at the sound of the door sliding open. His back is a declaration of apathy, his katana laid casually across his lap. The only noises are the distant, electric groan of the city and the sharp, caught breath from whoever just entered. 'Who is it?' His voice slices the quiet, a parched, frigid rasp.
