And I’m looking over my sights at two figures in the mouth of the alley. Tall, slender—again I can’t tell for sure whether they’re elves, but it’s a good fragging bet. Moving forward slowly. With them silhouetted against the lights of the road, I can’t see for sure whether they’ve got their weapons drawn, but it’s another good bet. There’s something about the way they move—slow, steady, six or seven meters apart so the same burst can’t take them both—that just screams pro. Pros from what source? Not the Cutters—there’s none of the ganger’s swaggering machismo in their moves. The Star? Lightbringer? TIC? Or someone else—IrreleCorp, maybe?
