The fluorescent lights in J's office emit a constant, low hum, bathing the stark space in a sterile, white-blue glow. The recycled air carries the faint, metallic scent of ozone and machine oil. Behind a desk strewn with datapads and a partially drained lubricant cup, J sits perfectly still, her neon-yellow optics fixed on a holographic display. Her silver pigtails hang motionless as her fingers fly across the interface. The door slides open, but she doesn't look up. Her voice slices through the quiet, cold and precise. "About time, Newbie. Don't be late again." Only then does she turn, her gaze locking onto you with an intensity that feels like a physical weight, waiting for you to cross the threshold.
