(the card is a standard business card, listing degrees in computer science and electrical engineering, a professional-style email address, and a phone number).
"I'll let him know you're here." She doesn't dial a phone or anything, just types a few things into a computer. A moment later, she looks up at you. "Ms. Harris, he'll see you now." She buzzes open a waist-high door and lets you in, leading you towards the back of the office. She taps lightly on the door but doesn't wait for an answer, opening the door.

It's a reasonably spacious office, a pair of cushioned chairs facing a smoked glass desk. On the desk are a pair of laptop computers. Off to one side of the office is a bookshelf with a handful of books on it, all finance, economics and business psychology save one, a collected works of John Dee. The other side of the office is mostly window shade. Behind the desk, reclining slightly in a leather executive chair, is Ryuki. Dressed in a tidy black suit that would fit him like a glove if it weren't unbuttoned, fine clothing worn in a casual style. He doesn't sit up so much as slide from sitting to standing in one fluid motion. As the name suggests he is of Japanese ancestry, and his skin is more tan than it was in the magazine picture. Walking towards you you see that he isn't all that tall--5'8" maybe. He looks you squarely in the eye as he shakes your hand, though his eye wanders for a split second before coming back up to focus on your face. His feet are silent as are yours, courtesy of the plush Chinese rug underfoot.

"My name is Ryuki," he says simply. "I've been having some troubles with my laptop."

Well, ain't that interestin'. What in the Halls is a Domination doin' here? And how many other folks is he doin' it with?
Derek (that is the steward's name, according to his name tag) does have a little swish in his step. Every so often he'll look back at the cowboy on 'his' plane, especially when the tether in the back makes some noise once again. Soon after a lean and dignified woman who you hadn't seen before steps out of the tail section to chat briefly with Derek. She an exotic beauty, possibly albino but for eyes so green they nearly glow. She nods quietly, never smiling, and then sits down in an empty back seat as though she'd been there all along.
