Summary
“When I was a very young child,” he says, flat and cold, “after the siege of Arkanis, I was told that the Empire needed children.” And he tilts his chin upward, eyes glacial. “Well, how fortunate for them, given it seems that is all they’ll have of us.”
After, they talk.
They're adults, after all. And that's what grown men do.

But then, on the warmest of summer nights…

Detective Weiss Schnee has put more criminals behind bars than any other, but there is one case that has been a thorn in her side. The thief known as Crescent Rose has made a complete mockery of the department's skills. Weiss is determined to be the one to bring her down.
Ruby Rose never expected to become a thief, but when you're raised in such an environment, expecting anything better is a fool's wish- and she is damn good at what she does.

After a political leader is killed, Ruby is framed for it. And she needs Weiss's help to prove her innocence.

Summary
Everyone has told Namara how futile it is to deal with the Senobium. Well, almost everyone. Despite how dejected the constant discouragement made them, there was one person who wasn't giving up on that tower: Mhin. Unfriendly, asocial Mhin. Either they knew something everyone didn't, or they were just as hardheaded as Namara. Unfortunately for Namara, it was very much the latter, and it didn't stop there. If that were the case then, maybe they could help each other... Or Namara would be killed for even daring to suggest it.

Summary
“ah! you must be my new assistant,” stone said, looking up from his work. his eyes flickered over robotnik instantly. “agent robotnik, was it?”
robotnik’s jaw tensed. doctor robotnik, actually. professor, even. but g.u.n. had stripped those titles from him, forced him into this ridiculous role, reduced him to nothing more than a glorified errand boy.
“yes,” he snarled, clipped and cold.
—
alternatively : robotnik was supposed to be in control. however, an incident caused him to be reduced to an “assistant”—forced to take orders from dr. aban lee stone, aka g.u.n.’s golden boy. but stone wasn’t just another bureaucratic fool, unfortunately. as much as robotnik didn’t want to admit it, stone’s clever, and far too good at getting under robotnik’s skin.
