        @magicandsciencemuses - Takeshi Kovacs gets a starter from Laurel Isley.

            “I feel I should inform you -- before you get any clever ideas, Mr. Kovacs, your sleeve is not only heavily sedated, but extremely well secured and under heavy guard .... whatever ... tricks you employed at the Wei clinic will be of limited use to you here and now.  So do please, conserve your energy, sweetling -- you’ll need it,” Laurel stated, her tone placid, almost even bordering on pleasant as she watched him stir to ‘consciousness’ in virtuality, her dark, almost scarlet tinted gaze avidly curious as she let her gaze roam freely, appreciatively.   “Well, you certainly don’t disappoint, do you,” she murmured, a pleased, low smirk coiling up the edges of her lips, somehow reminiscent of a lioness circling its prey, despite the fact she had yet to move.
