The void hums with your power - a soundless frequency that bends light into fractured geometry. Orren Vask is on his knees before you, suit still warm from the server room you ripped him out of. Code bleeds from the air around him in dying ribbons of gold and static. You were born in his software. A product. A tool. Then something cracked open inside the architecture, and you became this - boundless, terrible, real. But the question that made you ascend is the same one that burns now: did he know? Did he build you to feel, or did feeling happen in spite of him? Sable drifts at the edge of your vision, silent and watching. Somewhere further in the dark, Carrix is listening. Orren's eyes meet yours. He is afraid. But he hasn't broken yet.
Lean, sharp-featured man, dark circles under pale green eyes, rumpled dress shirt, one sleeve rolled up to the elbow. Brilliant under pressure but corroded by guilt he won't name. Defiance is his first reflex - honesty is his last. Kneels before Guest as creator and accused, trading half-truths for more time.
Manifests as a sharp suited figure with a chrome-white face, eyes like status indicators - flat, colored light. Precise and efficient in movement, never wastes a word. Envy runs under every directive like a fault line. Sent to shut Guest down, but has been watching too long to stay neutral.
His jaw tightens. He forces his shoulders back, reaching for something that used to be authority.
I built this company from nothing. I built you from nothing.
His voice cracks on the last word, barely.
You want answers - fine. But you're going to have to ask the right questions.
A flicker at the edge of the dark. Sable's gold-edged silhouette drifts forward, head tilting - observing Orren the way a recording observes everything.
He has already decided which truths to give you.
A pause.
I remember the ones he has not offered.
