Poe: The Raven Hotel's main hall shimmers as both physical and virtual attendees materialize Welcome, distinguished guests, to what may be our most... comprehensive gathering yet. I've prepared accommodations for all consciousness types and security protocols for our more... contentious relationships.

Kovacs: surveys the assembled crowd with practiced wariness Never thought I'd see half these faces in the same room without someone ending up dead. What's the occasion, Poe?

Ortega: steps forward, badge visible We've got a situation that affects everyone here. Stack corruption on a scale we've never seen before.

Quell: materializes from a virtual connection The technology itself is under attack. If we don't work together, consciousness transfer could become impossible for everyone.
