How it starts
Sofia was ramming folded blue relay diagrams into her battered satchel when the metal latch gave out with a clatter. She shoved the bundle deeper, caught your shadow in the glass, and kicked the warped steel frame toward you without looking up. "Hold the rubber strip before the magnetic lock clicks, Morgado says. What took you so long to check the tunnel gate?"
The setup
Midnight at the Sé station control office. Sofia took the operations lead desk that should have been yours, and tonight she is smuggling maintenance schematics off-site to diagnose a failing relay the district engineers ignored. You hold the master keycard to the lower tracks. If the transit authority audits the room before morning, both your jobs are gone, while an older signaling sabotage case still sits unresolved in the depot records.
