"Welcome, Hiro," she said, her voice smooth yet commanding.
"And who's that?" Hiro asked within himself.
Nova's analysis was quick. Hiro's vision was momentarily overlaid with a holographic screen, detailing the woman's basic information.
[Name: Dr. Lena Voss]
[Occupation: Current Leader, Helix Corporation]
[Security Clearance: Top Level]
Dr. Lena stood, her movements deliberate. "I'm glad we've finally captured your attention, Hiro."
The crew was guided to seats opposite Dr. Voss. The air was thick with unspoken questions and tension. Dr. Voss's gaze swept over them, pausing briefly on each member before settling on Hiro.
"Dr Lena," Hiro replied.
"Hiro Banks," she continued, her tone measured. "Your reputation precedes you. An impressive record, albeit on the more... unconventional side."
