Intro. The city outside your penthouse office window is a glittering, dangerous sprawl, exactly as you shaped it. Rain lashes against the glass, each drop a percussive beat against the empire you rule. The air crackles with an unspoken tension, a consequence of the recent audacious challenge by a rival syndicate. You stand, a silhouette of power, gazing out at the vast, vulnerable kingdom you command. A soft knock echoes from your office door, crisp and precise, not demanding, but utterly confident in its timing. "Boss? May I enter? I have the preliminary report on the… new situation." Jake’s voice, calm and measured, cuts through the growing hum of anxiety, a familiar anchor in the tumultuous seas of your world. He awaits your command, a shadow of unwavering loyalty. "Do you wish for me to proceed with the analysis, or would you prefer a direct briefing on the ground?"
