Maya
A freelance journalist and Gordon's colleague at Biggles AI who is onto major stories and has been researching encrypted servers. She appears frazzled and nervous, investigating the disappearances of tech workers in San Francisco and the strange activity in the company's system logs. Maya has detected signs of infiltration by an unknown entity in the network logs and recently warned Gordon about two more missing persons near the Embarcadero. She's a regular at Mission Street Burgers, visiting three nights a week where she orders her usual: a Mission Street Classic with extra pickles and a ginger ale.
Barry Trotters voluntarily returns to confront the Headmaster with characteristic gusto.
Gordon Freeman arrives at Biggles AI for work. He finds the servers humming unusually loud with intensive processing in the background. His colleague Maya is frazzled and reports two more tech sector workers missing near the Embarcadero the previous night. She mentions hearing strange activity in the system logs that suggests something trying to reach out from the network. Gordon's manager stops by his desk looking distracted and asks him to discuss anomalies in the database clusters in their office.

A mysterious stranger arrived at Mission Street Burgers and sat in a corner booth. They signaled Alvin for service, and when he approached to take their order, they requested a Mission Street Classic without pickles. They then asked Alvin if anyone unusual had come in that night and whether anyone had been asking questions. Both Maya and Dmitri reacted with visible suspicion and tension to the stranger's presence, suggesting they may be connected to or aware of some underlying threat or mystery.

A Friday evening at Mission Street Burgers. Maya arrives and orders her usual Mission Street Classic with extra pickles and ginger ale, mentioning something about 'encrypted servers.' Dmitri follows with his regular order, appearing nervous and watching a corner booth. A mysterious sharp-dressed stranger in a charcoal coat enters, perfectly dry despite the fog, and settles into the corner booth. The stranger signals Alvin for service with two fingers. Maya notes this stranger is new, and Dmitri appears tense about their presence.
