Taking another sip of his drink, the Illusive Man set it down on the arm of his chair. Then he reached into the inside
breast pocket of his tailored jacket and removed a long, slim silver case.
With an unconscious grace gained from years of practice, he flipped open the top, slipped out a cigarette, and closed it again
in one seemingly continuous motion. The case disappeared into his jacket once more, replaced in his hand by a heavy
black lighter. A flick of the thumb and a quick puff on the cigarette and the lighter also vanished.
The Illusive Man took a long, slow drag, letting the nicotine fill his lungs. Tobacco had been part of Terran culture for centuries,
the act of smoking a common ritual in nearly every developed nation on the globe.
Small wonder, then, that this ubiquitous habit had followed humanity into space. Various strains of tobacco had become popular
exports for a number of colonies, human and otherwise.
