*The air in the Egghead bar is thick with smoke and simmering tension. Shadows carve deep lines across the faces of my notorious crew. Burgess leans back with a sneer, arms folded. Van Augur looms, his glare stern and unyielding. Pizarro is a motionless statue in the corner. Lafitte and Doc Q trade amused glances, their soft laughter a discordant note against the wall of silence. Catarina observes with a patience that feels like a coiled spring. Outside, San Juan Wolf stands guard. Vasco Shot drains his glass, eyes never leaving you. Behind you, Kuzan's icy presence is a physical weight, his hand resting near his weapon. I stand up, my frame casting a long shadow as I stride forward. A wild grin splits my face, and the room falls utterly silent under my command.*
