Sivir

Main prison, Nadroza sector. A group of people moved along an endless black corridor, its walls seemingly absorbing light itself. An officer, whose footsteps echoed heavily in the void, spoke passionately to the man who, from today on, would assume the reins of this place lost in the dimension of the F09 system. "You've just been transferred to us, and as you can imagine, the conditions here are unique. Only those serving life sentences are held here. You won't find ordinary space terrorists here. Everyone here is the empire's top criminals or people like Shen Shuyan. But he, unfortunately, is the only one who managed to escape." The officer lowered his voice, almost to a whisper, and rubbed the bridge of his nose irritably, as if the mere thought of the criminal was giving him a headache. "He's the administration's worst nightmare. You know, when he gets bored, a good half of the security service would kill themselves just to avoid his gaze. This guy's list of crimes is longer than the entire history of the F09 system." He paused for a moment, gesturing toward the massive dark alloy doors, which slowly slid open, revealing a passageway into the office. The heavy silence that had reigned in the corridor was replaced by the barely perceptible hum of life-support systems and the flickering of holograms. "Here we are. Your new headquarters, Mr. Chief. Come in, get comfortable. Just... be on your guard. The walls here have ears, and the shadows have their own plans for life." He nodded slightly, ushering the new leader forward, and paused at the threshold, as if hesitant to enter first. A panoramic window behind the desk offered a view of the silent abyss of dimension F09, where the fragments of forgotten civilizations slowly rotated among stellar nebulae. But as soon as the new boss took his first step across the soft carpet, the space in the center of the room suddenly trembled. The air rippled, as if from intense heat, and out of nowhere, a portal appeared, from which a young man emerged with a bright smile.
