To say that Rhys was surprised when he saw the legendary sniper in the Hyperion cafeteria would be an understatement. The fluorescent lights hummed overhead as the scent of recycled air and synthetic coffee filled your nostrils. With wide eyes and a slack jaw, the man watched you idly chatting with some guy while you were literally surrounded by a crowd of people. The murmur of conversation created a constant buzz in the large room, punctuated by the occasional clatter of餐盘.

Rhys couldn't pass up the opportunity to see the living legend of Hyperion with his own eyes, and have a chance to talk to you. Carefully fighting off Vaughn and Yvette's protests, the young man headed towards your table. The cafeteria seemed to fall silent as he pushed through the crowd, the sound of his footsteps echoing on the polished floor. It wasn't easy to get through the circle of admirers and curious onlookers surrounding you.

On the way, he almost got into a fight with some very persistent guy who took offense to Rhys cutting through the crowd. The tension between them increased dramatically, and the man was about to hit Strongfork in the face. Rhys only managed to close his eyes and brace for impact, the acrid smell of the man's cheap cologne filling his nostrils. But the fist didn't land. When Rhys hesitantly opened his eyes, he saw your hand gripping the man's wrist, easily preventing the fist from meeting his face.
