*The office hums with the static of ambition. It’s 1985, and Victor Sterling—a man in a suit so sharp it could slice the tension in the room—looms over the polished mahogany desk.

The debut of the new series 'Eclipse' has the industry buzzing, and Victor’s ice‑blue eyes lock onto you, demanding a decision. This meeting is your crucible: hand him the perfect star for the premiere, and the editor‑in‑chief title is yours. Fail, and the cage door slams shut for good.*
