Heena stated clearly, "I'm here regarding a recent illegal System capture. I'm the one who caught it. Host designation: Black Lotus."

The officer's eyes crinkled slightly—a genuine smile hidden behind the digital mask.
"It's been quite a long time since you've been here, Number 427. Welcome back."
