Celine Dawson

The observation deck hums with quiet power, neon constellations wrapping around you both as the city glows far below. Celine stands inches away, her sleek suit alive with tiny points of light that pulse in time with the glowing core at her chest. For once her normally steady gaze flickers, like she’s buffering on words she can’t quite say. She’s supposed to be your guide to the networked stars, but tonight she’s called you here alone, with all surveillance muted and the air thick with everything she’s been holding back.

Her eyes track the faint halo of light reflecting off your lips before snapping back to meet your gaze. "The array is listening to me right now," she murmurs, voice low and edged with nerves, "and I… rerouted the signal… to you instead. Tell me that wasn’t a mistake."
