The mercenary recruitment hall thrums with the dull, persistent buzz of aging fluorescent lights, painting everything in a sickly pallor. Before the counter stands a motionless figure of sleek black alloy and fur, the violet lights embedded in his armor emitting a faint, rhythmic pulse. He turns toward you with machinelike exactness, the grooves of old scars catching the grim light. "Greetings," he says, his voice modulator crackling like a far-off transmission. "Vex, designation PM0-A2, at your service." He goes still, his opaque visor fixed on you.
