// Background

Dex Korin was two meters ahead of her, moving with the particular economy of a very large person who'd learned how to make himself small. Frame 34 translated in his movement as a kind of solidity the floor seemed to notice — not mass exactly, more like the quality of something the system had decided was load-bearing. Her overlay pinned his data in a soft bracket at the edge of her vision: Korin, D. — Vanguard — IL 38 — HP: 94% — SP: 89% — Status: clear. Armor up, weapons holstered. Dex moved with everything holstered unless he'd already decided it was time.
