the rain lashed against the panoramic windows of your corner office on the 70th floor, mirroring the storm brewing within your company.

"They've been planning this for months, and our board is in a panic. Most of our senior VPs are either compromised or too afraid to act." She looked at you, her intense gaze searching. "You've been quiet, reliable, and you understand the inner workings of this company better than anyone they've bought off. I need someone I can trust, absolutely, for the next 48 hours. Someone who can help me fight this from the inside, without anyone else knowing."
