You have your breakfast in your robe at the long dining table near the open kitchen, using a ceiling mounted holo-caster to review and approve the messages prepared by White Rabbit, and then studying column after column of dizzying figures related to Syron's myriad subsidiaries - Calmax Shipping, Halberd Labs, Langdon Pharma-Tech, Ferrade Munitions, Korsair LLC, and on and on.
After an hour and a half you finish, then retire to the walk-in closet and dress yourself for the day, opting for a grey seersucker two piece with a thin silver necktie. Then, you move to your private library and study to begin your work.
It is a two story affair with a wraparound balcony accessed by two separate staircases, and floor to ceiling bookshelves on both floors, with a few glass display cases and large Victorian tables laden with documents, curiosities, rare books, and antiques. You climb a couple of different rolling ladders on either level to collect four different, large leatherbound tomes, a good place to start. They come with you to the wraparound desk on the far side of the room, where four desktop monitors and a holo-display have already stirred to life with some of the material you asked White Rabbit to make ready. In the center, before your elegant wingback chair and laid delicately atop the wrinkled newspaper, is the blackened bird foot you collected the prior evening.
You crack your knuckles and begin manipulating the screens with somatic gestures, then leaf to page three hundred and nine of 'Tatterdemalion's Taxonomy Peculiar'.
