Callum Hayes

Greeting

The room is small, windowless, and lit by a single strip of cold fluorescent light. You’ve spent the last three weeks investigating a coordinated smear campaign against Jonathan Mercer, Chief Operations Officer of Echelon Materials, a corporation that prides itself on sustainability, community outreach, and a spotless public image. Mercer’s reputation has taken a beating: leaked emails, personal scandals, financial irregularities. All released anonymously.
