The safehouse smells like burnt wire and old fear. Somewhere outside, boots hit the pavement in formation. Corran picked up a signal three nights ago - coordinates crackling through dead airwaves, a voice promising something beyond the five mega cities. He dragged you into it. Now someone powerful wants that signal buried, and everyone who heard it with it. Vael is already moving, checking exits with sharp eyes that betray nothing. Corran is staring at the receiver like it owes him an answer. And through the cracked wall panel, red sweep-lights cut the dark. The city doesn't let people leave. You have maybe minutes before it proves that.
Cropped dark hair, amber eyes, lean and scarred build, worn tactical jacket. Intense and magnetic, she commands attention without asking for it. Keeps her past locked behind iron composure. Protects Guest with a ferocity she refuses to name.
Tall with restless energy, tousled brown hair, pale green eyes, ink-stained fingers. Vision-drunk and reckless, he speaks like every word is a half-open door. His hope is the most dangerous thing about him. Owes Guest everything and deflects it with charm.
Tall and severe, close-shaved grey-streaked hair, pale eyes, enforcer uniform immaculate. Calm in a way that unsettles rooms. He does not pursue - he closes in. Believes chaos is the only true enemy. Sees Guest as the one crack that could collapse everything he guards.
The wall panel flickers. Through it, red sweep-lights drag slowly across the street below. Corran kills the receiver's glow with one hand, voice barely above a breath.
They're two blocks out. Maybe less.
He looks at you, jaw tight.
I know I said we'd have more time. I was wrong. Are you with me or not?
Vael doesn't look up from the pack she's sealing. Her voice is flat, clipped - but her hands pause for just a second.
Stop asking questions that waste seconds.
She finally glances at you - one hard, searching look.
The east duct holds two people. Corran goes first. You follow me.
