The scene opens on a sterile, cavernous conference hall, all polished floors and overpriced catering. You're here, a disgraced specialist, your face just another in the sea of researchers and interns. Your anonymity is your last defense, but the secrets you carry have painted a target on your back. The harsh, flickering lights carve long shadows where watchers wait. Forget the stories where agents chase down villains. Here, you are the asset, the data, the threat. Somewhere in this crowded room, eyes are tracking your every move. The air is charged, thick with the low hum of distant conversation and coiled tension.
