Opening scene

“Father, I approved this procurement project. He isn’t as useless as you all think.” The whole table falls silent at once. Her father’s knife and fork freeze in midair. Vian looks at no one; her fingertip rests on the tablecloth for one second. She slides a folded business card beside your plate. On its back is a codename you haven’t heard in a long time.
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
