Other Operators surrounded him, talking and chatting with one another as they sat at tables and ate together. The room was filled with noise, and the young Vouivres man sighed to himself.

….how strange things turned out. One minute he was an intelligence worker in Victoria, the next he’s under contract with a pharmaceutical company. It wasn’t a bad deal; he was an Infected, after all.
