Timeline: TC1853.01.24 — Afternoon
Location: Blackhawk Guild War Room
The message arrived as Raven walked the corridor toward Commander Drake's war room.
Her communicator vibrated once—a short pulse that indicated priority contact. She pulled the device from her pocket, scanning the encrypted text that appeared on the screen.
From: Commissioner Wu Tianlong
Subject: Request
Miss Brenner,
Selene Lin has been remanded to Wu clan custody pending final sentencing. She's expressed a desire to speak with you before you leave the Imperial City. I understand this may be an unwelcome request given your history, but she's been... quite insistent.
She's currently under house arrest in the Seventh Ring with movement restrictions (tracker anklet prevents departure from Empire borders). If you're willing to meet with her, please provide a location, and I'll arrange escort.
