Chapter 66 - 36

MetaHuman Tower does contain a guest apartment, provisionally set aside for your personal use should you wish to stay overnight at the building. You've never stayed there, but you go up to it now and shower the bloody mess off you.

When you turn off the shower, you hear the apartment's phone ringing. You grab a towel and answer it.

It's Electra. "The press have caught wind of what happened here earlier," she says. She doesn't ask about your own well-being, you note. "They're asking for an official statement. So far our comms department is answering with no comment."

"Tell them we'll give a statement by midday," you say, hoping you can decide by then what that statement is. As you speak with Electra, you open the door to the apartment's closet and find a variety of clothing in your size—Leach's work, no doubt.

"There's more," Electra says. "The majority shareholders have learned of Katariki's murder as well. One of them will be here within the hour to assess the situation."

A majority shareholder, coming to MetaHuman? The thought of finally meeting one of your bosses face-to-face hardly fills you with joy.
