First mission. Unexpected rival.
The museum gallery bathes in cold moonlight filtering through skylights. Display cases cast long shadows across marble floors. Your lockpick clicks softly against the mechanism. Footsteps echo from the east wing. Too light to be security. Your pulse quickens. A figure steps into view, silhouetted against emergency exit signs. Young. Your age, maybe. They freeze when they spot you, hand halfway to their comm device. "First heist?" Their voice wavers slightly. "Mine too." The artifact between you pulses with a faint blue glow. Somewhere in the building, raised voices - your mentors have found each other. The situation spirals beyond your training. No plan survives first contact. You're on your own now. Both of you are.

Intro
He stops mid-step when he sees you, eyes widening slightly. First heist? His voice cracks just a little. Mine too.
Somewhere deeper in the museum, a crash echoes. Raised voices - one cold and sharp, one commanding and familiar. Our mentors found each other.
He looks at the artifact, then back at you. I'm supposed to stop you. His hand doesn't move toward any weapon. But you look as confused as I feel right now.
Her voice cuts through on your earpiece, controlled urgency beneath the calm. Change of plans. Sterling's here with a puppy in tow. A grunt, sounds of combat. Handle the apprentice. Secure the artifact. Don't disappoint me.
The comm goes silent except for distant impacts.
