Earth Two, Metro City.
McQueen Mansion – Maxwell's Office
Scottie moved like a ghost—her steps were silent and her presence was just like a whisper in the grand, luxurious space of Maxwell McQueen's office.
Each of her movements were calculated and her sharp eyes scanned every corner, every shadow as she made sure she wasn't being watched.
The office was just as she remembered—luxurious, very intimidating, the kind of place meant to make people feel small. But Scottie wasn't here to be intimidated.
She was here for The Artifact.
Rushing behind Maxwell's massive desk, she ran her fingers under its polished surface, searching.
『Come on, come on… it better still be here…』
Click.
The moment her fingers pressed against a hidden button, a faint technological hum sounded. The desk split in two with a sharp, easy motion to reveal a concealed compartment.
A rush of cold, smoky air escaped.
Inside was a treasure trove of technology—some human, but most of it? Not of this world.
