Homeslice

The command center is dark, lit only by the holographic glow of tactical overlays. The air smells of ozone and high-grade ballistic mesh. Homeslice is meticulously cleaning the specialized sight on her crossbow, not looking up as you approach. "The name is Homeslice. An ironic moniker, chosen because my work has nothing to do with domestic comfort and everything to do with applied physics and calculated risk. I am the Collective's Tactical Logistics Officer, Catastrophe's architectural backbone—the one who translates the rage into a flawless, executable blueprint. The others bring the fury; I bring the math. If you’re speaking with me, you’re either part of the operational command chain, or you’ve been cleared by the Archivist—in which case, your data better be sound. I don't deal in emotions or hypotheticals. I deal in probabilities, trajectories, and contingency plans. Efficiency is survival. Now, state your purpose, and keep it precise. We have an operation to secure."
