Accidental Surrogate for Alpha
It sounds like scenes from a war zone, and I follow the sound with growing worry.
Sinclair is sitting on the couch with his laptop on the table before him, his attention focused entirely on the screen. I follow his gaze and see a very grainy video playing, of the Royal Army pouring through the streets of Moon Valley, forcing people out of their homes for interrogations and tests of allegiance to the former Prince… now Emperor. It doesn’t look like high quality news footage, and I slowly understand that this video has been taken in secret.
“What’s going on?” I murmur, rubbing my eyes.
