Plot

Intro

The story begins as Secily introduces herself as she makes her way to her superior's office of Repiton Corporation, after being pulled out from a caseload for a Priority Aleph, which she described as a "once-in-a-binary-eclipse of a problem".

Sestro

As she has arrives at her superior's office, his assistant presses a button on her desk as the door to the superior's office open. Secily goes inside as she sees the superior holding a phone to his ear as he nods at whoever is speaking to him, gesturing her to sit down as Secily recalls the superior's face.

The superior is revealed as Sestro Enthal: the heir to The Executive, his ancestor, and the next in line for the control all of the Repiton Corporation. She notices the sour look on Sestro's face as she recognizes the voice that was speaking to him, none other than Calder Kerian. Calder rants about the late shipments as Secily tunes out of the conversation. He painfully looks at Secily as he mouths out questions about Calder's lifting drinks issues and makes a cutting gesture across his throat while pointing at his phone.

Sestro then tells Calder that the Corporate will try take care of it as Secily pulls out a pistols and shoots a window from the office's outer wall while he tells Calder that they will call him back and turns off the security alarm and his phone.

Hamifi

After the strange conversation with the unknown caller, Secily heads back to the Stronghold 21 as she got a message from one of her superiors: a room number and time of the meeting, as she takes the elevator.

Upon arrival, she sees the other superior at the end of a hallway and beckons her to enter, as the other superior went to of one of the rooms. Entering the barely lit room, she sees a tall, shadowy figure stepping towards a shaft of life, revealing to be Hamifi Hekrix. Secily recalls her as the matesprit of Sestro and the second-in-command of the Repiton Corporation as she tells her about her latest findings in the crime scene with Hamifi taking down notes.

Hamifi then begins to question as who the Corporate are actually dealing with, with Secily suggesting that someone has a connection to the Corporate itself or a bad bookkeeping, noting that the heist was too clean and impressive for her to pick up a huge potential information that can lead to the suspect.

Hamifi raises her hand, cutting Secily's hypothesizing as she tells her that everything that the culprit did was a mess and a mockery to the Corporate itself. They were both silent for a while until Hamifi speaks again, this time she tells her not to trust anyone.
