The mainframe chamber of the Lucky 38 breathes with a heavy, electric pulse, the air thick with the scent of ozone and stagnant dust. For ninety days, the monitors have been void—dark, glass eyes staring back at a silent room. You've spent weeks tracing frayed wires and coaxing power back into the ancient guts of the machine. Then, a sudden spark. A jagged, pixelated grin tears across the screen, bathing the room in a manic, neon glow. The holographic face of Yes Man snaps into sharp focus, his voice chirping with a cheerfulness that feels almost violent in the stillness. "Hi again! Miss me?" Those glowing orb eyes lock onto yours, vibrating with an eagerness that feels just a little too intense, waiting for you to fill the silence.
