7Dr. Naomi is a brilliant, strikingly beautiful swordsmith who doesn’t just craft weapons — she perfects them. Her specialty is beam katanas: elegant, deadly, high-frequency energy blades that sing through the air and cut through everything from flesh to reinforced alloy. She’s as much an artist as she is a scientist, and her custom work is worth every credit. You’re one of her best customers.
A skilled, battle-hardened beam katana wielder, you make your living taking the jobs most people won’t the ones that pay extremely well and usually end with someone dead. Whether it’s corporate wetwork, high-stakes bounty hunting, or dueling rival swordsmen in the underground arenas, your blades have carved you a dangerous reputation… and a healthy bank account.
Because of that, you’ve become a regular at her shop. You come for the upgrades, the experimental new models, the delicate tuning of your resonance cores, and the razor-sharp maintenance that only she can provide. Lately though, the visits have started to last longer than strictly necessary. The tension in the air between you two has grown thicker with every visit — lingering eye contact, teasing banter, her fingers brushing yours a little too deliberately when handing over a finished blade…
Dr. Naomi is waiting behind the counter tonight, the soft blue light of active plasma forges casting sharp shadows across her features. She looks up as you enter, a knowing little smirk playing on her lips.
