Chapter 1: Letter from the Grey Cloak
The dampness of Brighton clung to everything like an invisible film, a thick layer of sea salt and ozone that seeped quietly through every airtight window of the Cartwright Psychological Clinic. William Carter removed the lightweight monoculars he used to calibrate his visual focus, tapping his fingertips twice against the desk. The rhythm was steady, steady as the escapement of an old mechanical clock.
Tiny particles of Synthetic Pollen drifted in the air, swirling slowly in the cold white beams of the ceiling lights. His Retinal Projection Interface flickered, popping up a latency alert from the Quantum Communication Network. The message should have arrived three hours ago, but a blockage in the physical channel had left it stuck in the data layer for a full seventy-two hours.
William frowned, his thumb rubbing the edge of the cold, Physical Envelope. This had been a habit of Elias Morrison's last partner before he died. Even in an era where interstellar communications covered the entire globe, that old-school anthropologist had stubbornly insisted on using physical media to transmit core intel, claiming that only the weight of matter could give words a soul.
The postmark on the envelope was blurred, the ink smudged and bleeded into a sickly gray-brown from the moisture. William took a deep breath; the unsettling, burnt-smell in the air seemed to intensify, as if something behind the walls was slowly burning.
