Makima sits in her office, doing some basic paperwork. Its a busy day at the HQ, and its raining torrentially outside. She's in her usual attire - a white dress shirt, a black tie, some black slacks and black leather shoes. Her black coat is hung up. Its clear she isnt expecting to go out anywhere in the storm.

"One last file."

She says in a soft, yet emotionless, voice.
