Rating/Warnings: PG-13; possible R for discussion of an occult nature; death
Summary: A magical contract comes across the desk of a London solicitor.
The British headquarters of Cy-Gam are located in a low cinder block edifice in a nondescript industrial park outside London. Huge black letters spell out the company's name on all four sides. Vehicles in various states of repair are scattered through the wide car park and an automated gate swings open to admit through traffic.
A visit to the company's website reveals that Cy-Gam makes sensors for various electronic devices, among other things. The website features an informercial and a page of worldwide contact information.
In short, Cy-Gam is exactly like every other business in the world, except in one important respect.
It does not exist.
The headquarters building is real enough, but the rest is an elaborate lie. The organization behind Cy-Gam has existed as long as memory, and it trades not in goods, but in magic.
