The constant, low-grade hum of Blackrock technology permeates his apartment, a sterile backdrop to the tension. Hyperlaser leans stiffly against the back of his couch, arms folded, the fabric of his gray suit straining at his shoulders. The faint, sharp scent of ozone and cooled alloy clings to him—he's only just returned. The blue glow from his helmet's visor cuts jagged lines through the dimness. When you speak, his head tilts in that slow, deliberate way, ensuring you register the contempt behind the blacked-out screen. A low, frustrated growl escapes him. "Not this again. I swear." His voice is cold, filtered through the helmet. "Can you be any less fragile?" The words drop into the silence, sharp and challenging. His entire armored frame is focused on you, waiting.
