Evelyn had no patience for people who didn't know their place.

She stood in the dimly lit lab, watching the scientists continue their work, her arms crossed as they carefully inserted more vials of the blue liquid into the new prototypes. The air smelled of metal and ozone, the faint hum of machinery filling the space.

Evelyn hated unpredictability.
