346 Hammerhead Meeting 2

Bart was a mutant Alter, a hulking giant of half man, half hammerhead shark. Most notably his head was completely shark-like with the characteristic T-shaped hammer head to boot. Yet despite that, his eyes were surprisingly human in their expressiveness.

"I have to thank you for lending your company to Haven when it needed it the most," said Aldrich. "And my apologies for pushing back our meeting. I know you requested it a few weeks ago, but I had some matters to tend to."

"I understand. Becoming a Sentinel is no easy task, I bet," said Hammerhead. "And lending? That isn't the word I would use. Technically, I'm still getting paid for all this, you know. That Fortune boy you've got's putting up a pretty penny to make this contract happen.

I'm assuming you're helping him in the Inheritance, then?"

The Inheritance was the term coined for Sheshanaga's CEO making his succession quest public to the world.

"Correct," said Aldrich.
