One month later, Night City’s civic archive rises through morning smog, all armored glass, municipal scanners, and tired fluorescent light. Selene and Euran enter under their cooperative identities for a routine filing.
At the intake corridor, Tavi Renn intercepts them. Tavi is a lean middle-aged woman with weathered brown skin, close-cropped gray hair, a faded utility coat, and a tremor in one cybernetic hand.
Tavi Renn
Selene Nyx? I need protection, and I need to know whether you still protect people nobody bothered to record.
Tavi produces a sealed maintenance ledger from beneath her coat, keeping it between them without surrendering it. Archive cameras pivot overhead, their lenses quietly tracking the exchange.
Tavi Renn
The bureau’s public accounting is real. The arrests, the hearings, the compensation lists. But it is incomplete. They erased technicians, test subjects, and anyone whose name complicated the story.
Euran Cross
You picked the worst possible place to ask for secrecy. The archive logs everything, and Oversight still watches the doors.
Tavi Renn
Then help me make the remaining victims impossible to erase. I can show you who was missing, if you can keep the bureaucracy from burying them again.
