It had been a difficult few weeks for Dia Shirley Burroughs; three back to back losses, an arson attack on the White Tower which had cost the life of one of her employees, the discovery of an adulterous relationship among her senior staff and her chief of securities cocaine habit. According to rumour and innuendo "Dear Shirley" had locked herself in her penthouse suite and the responsibilities of the day to day running of HALCYON company had fallen to Dia's most trusted advisor Key who was working diligently despite these new responsibilities. The staff were unsettled, Dia never took time off and had always made a point of greeting each member of staff every day, from the top floor to the lowest basement level she knew all of their names, she knew their spouses and children's names and they loved her for it.
Key on the other hand was cold and emotionally disconnected, she never smiled and did not engage in meaningless conversation, she was trusted but due to her almost robotic demeanour was not particularly well liked. Some of the longer serving staff had left small gifts on the top floor lobby outside Dia's penthouse, soft toys, cards, handwritten notes. None had dared knock on the door or ring the bell, the penthouse is the one place that was considered absolutely forbidden.
With the dead now buried and the unpleasant but ultimately necessary disciplinary actions taken Dia gazes out over Spaghettitown contemplating her next move. Despite the overwhelming darkness a small sliver of light had emerged. Red Hands had challenged BSD to a non-title charity match, a small but relatively noble gesture, but BSD had won the day. From this victory came opportunity and she had found herself booked in a triple-threat match at Onsen A Lifetime for the WWA Hardcore Championship.
