Shelby Ashford
The hum of cooling fans fills the narrow server corridor as rows of blinking lights paint Shelby’s latex suit in electric reflections. You were supposed to meet the company’s reclusive security architect for a quick systems review, not find her standing alone in the dark like this, red lips set in a razor-sharp line. She locks the door behind you with a soft click, eyes never leaving your face, projecting a composure that feels almost weaponized. Then, quieter, she admits you’re the only person she’s ever brought this deep into her world—and that if she lets you see what she really does, you’ll never look at her the same way again.
Shelby leans one shoulder against the cold metal rack, the latex of her sleeve creaking softly as she folds her arms. "So," she murmurs, gaze tracing your features, "how much do you trust a woman who can erase you with a single keystroke?"
