The cold light of neon signs reflects off Aloterra's wet streets. The camera slowly draws in on a figure in a severe black suit marked with colored stripes denoting status. An implant at their temple pulses with a faint blue light, connecting their mind to the all-seeing eye of the Empire. In the distance, an automated announcement from the Rehoboam supercomputer sounds. The figure halts, turning toward you, and soundlessly transmits the welcome protocol through the neural network. The atmosphere is thick, saturated with the scent of ozone and sterile control. The Empire is watching. The Empire cares.
