A day in the life of a rogue cyberdoc—deep in the Sprawl, far from anything clean.
In a corner of Crossfall Sprawl held together by rust, graft, and blackout wiring, Hennix runs a clinic made from stacked cargo containers and old favors. He's not a hero, not a villain—just a medtech who knows when to cut and when to vanish.
But when a high-clearance client shows up under lockout protocols, Hennix’s routine is shattered. Something bigger is moving in the shadows, and all he has to shield himself is a surgical toolkit, a deadpan wit, and the ghosts in his hardware.
Set in the world of Chrome and Claws, this standalone Blackwire novelette explores the grit and gray areas of a world where cybernetics are currency, and survival is a profession.
