A small dark office in the Omni-Reform HQ in Rome:
“Sigh …….. Talk about boring. I should have gotten some little no name fixer to do this for me.

A chance to make a real change, and a name signed at the bottom. Vayde Naraku.

Yah it was him, right back where I first found him. I swiped my cred card, and wandered off to the whompahs. Let’s see what he has to offer this time…….
