I was gonna make a poll about it but I can’t really think of any others but here’s one for your next if you’d like:
LOKI Mech: A hacked LOKI Mech housing a rogue AI.
The noir Elcor detective, all day! When the femme fatale Eclor shows up, I hope he'll be able to parse out the truth despite her lures as a temptress!
"Deceptively: I need someone I can trust, you are the only one I could turn to. I'm in a real bad way, with no way out. They say you were the best."
'Jaded by years in the system: Were. I'm no good for you, doll. Those days are long gone.'
"Seductively: Surely, detective, you could find a way to help a gal like me?"
Our detective glances out the window.
