A megascraper stands at the middle of the financial district, one of sciences and commerce, financial purposes as well as research purposes housing companies and their respectful subsidiaries and branches. Inside one of the thousands of offices generic in size and design, Holden looks out from a window in a chair at the end of a long table. Two streams of water are floating in parallel to each side of the table. Holden then flips a small panel on the surface of the table and swipes his thumb over a switch inside the panel causing blinds to slide down the large window covering the entire wall. The orange and yellow light that spread over the table, Holden's face, and the wall at the end of the long office become sliced and divided by the blinds, turning the field of light from the window into strips of light, now decorating the floor of the office with stripes of light divided by a space as thick as the strips themselves. A green light flashes from the side of the door across from Holden in the massive office.
The door slides open, a woman in a bluish green jumpsuit with long combed back brown hair looks about the office. Holden looks up across the room, gesturing to come in. The woman walks across the room and stands by a chair. "Do you mind if I ask you why Broderbund is doing a personnel sweep? No one gave me or anyone else any context as to wh-" "This is a Void Kampff examination, please sit down." Holden responds in a neutral tone. Holden pushes numerous buttons on the Void Kampff machine's keypad, resulting in a flash of light appearing on the Void Kampff's screen. The top of the screen then rises from the base of the machine and a flat monitor extends out until it is fixed at a slanted position. As the woman takes a seat, the monitor is activated and the screen is fully lit. A command line rests on the top of the screen until Holden lines up the ocular parser by pulling it's extension arm out and positioning at the woman sitting at the side of the long table. An iris and it's pupil spreads across the screen.
While looking at the small monitor on the Void Kampff machine, he holds his dossier and looks through it. "Laura H. Baston age forty six, forklift operator for Broderbund Delta Labs Sector 2 Hangar. Is that you?" Holden looks up from his dossier and at the woman sitting across from him. "Right." Laura responds while slowly nodding "I'm going to ask you a series of personality based questions, in order to provoke emotional responses. The only wrong answer is no answer at all." Laura once again nods her head after Holden is done speaking. "Yeah, okay." Holden then leans back, smokes from his small cigar and sits back up to the table. "You're in a beam jump station, when you-" Holden is interrupted by the sound of glass cracking and a loud crash sound, immediately followed by a green light flashing from the outside in on Holden and Laura. The entire room, once bathed in the orange light of a sunset is now covered in a green haze spreading across the room. One second later, the blinds covering the window near the bottom are ripped furiously out from their resting position and broken apart into multiple pieces as they shoot out from the window. Laura gets out of her chair and stands with her hands gripping the table while Holden rises to his feet and shouts "What in the hell?". The window is now exposed with it's lower half shattered. The ends of the blinds are now hanging from their strings.
Within two seconds later, a three hook grappling shoots into the floor from the outside from above and attach onto the floor beyond the shattered window, producing a heavy clanking sound. Laura jumps in fright and shrieks. Holden reaches across the desk and grabs the phone. He holds it up to his his ear and shouts at Laura. "Get out of the way! Get down!". As the phone connects to the main office, a figure glides down into the room holding onto a cylindrical spear connected onto the grapple. The figure then stands before the shattered window. In the assailants arrival, Holden ducks underneath the table, holding the base of the phone while putting it up to his ear at the same time, waiting for main office to pick up. The assailant reaches for the cylindrical component to the grapple and presses down on the middle. The three hooks of the grapple then jump out from the ground and the rope then snaps back to where it was casted, outside and above. The assailant is a looming seven foot tall figure of terror. It's eyes glow red with dreadlocks coming from it's head. It's humanoid form and bipedal figure are the only human contributions to the extraterrestrial being. It's skin dark green, it's torso covered in ragged fishnets. It's wrist has a gauntlet from which red lights dance on it's gauntlet as two blades extend from it's forearm. It stands and stares at it's prey. Laura is frozen in terror, trapped in it's gaze, a gaze of horror and curiosity. Holden shouts at her from his crouching position under the table. "Go! Leave! Get hell out, now!"
