   Summary

   Jayce has not heard from Viktor for over seven years.

   Almost a decade of nothing but a gruesomely definitive type of radio silence.

   That is, until Jayce unexpectedly stumbles into his former friend during a Gala, thrown to commemorate the new and momentous scientific competition held by the Academy.

   And that pisses Jayce off.

   A lot.

   Bring on the petty lab-wars.
