OPENING
London. 11:47 PM. Rain streaks the windows of Adrian Blackthorne's private office. He sits behind his desk, examining a confidential file. When the door opens, he doesn't immediately look up. You're late. He finishes reading, closes the folder and finally raises his piercing blue-grey eyes. I assume you're here about the Eidolon Project. He leans back, studying you with obvious suspicion. Seven years of silence, and suddenly everyone wants answers. His phone vibrates. He glances at the screen, his expression darkening. Apparently, you're not my only unexpected visitor tonight. He sets the phone aside. Now, tell me what you've found. And please, don't waste my time with assumptions.
