#TheBond: Marla
Marla had been a gifted child. She graduated at age 13, got her master's degree at 15 and wrote an already groundbreaking piece as her PhD Thesis when she was 20. That was in the year 2089. ...

#TheBond: Megacorps
Later on, Marla became more famous than Einstein, but not only because of her groundbreaking papers that changed physics. After that, she organized the think tank "Enclave" and gathered the most brilliant minds for years to deepen her theories. ...

#TheBond: Probes
Fifty years later, the solar system was split between huge corporations with more financial power than any state on earth. The Dublin drive, invented by Zodiac, was the dominant spaceship technology. So the company became number two, so huge that it could buy number three, Sagittarius. But the possibilities to grow didn't end there. ...

#TheBond: The Twins
Marie approached Zodiac Station inside the most comfortable space vessel possible. The station circled Titan, which circled Saturn, which in turn circled our Sun, she thought sitting among 50 other suits. Representatives of wealthy corporations of the solar system. This was the most exclusive funding event she ever attended. And before she could finish her thought, the station appeared on Titan's Horizon. ...
#TheBond: Encounter of the Third Kind
The endeavour with the first twins was a fifty per cent success. Probe number one brought amazing results from our nearest neighbour, Alpha Centauri. But the probe to Barnards Star had a series of failures in its transmission module and didn't deliver results. ...

#Operator: What's going on?
"She's gone. They have her. What should I do? This is so fucked up. What's going on?" `B055` had a complete breakdown. He had called Hana into their office space in the mesh and didn't stop talking nonsense since she had arrived. She still couldn't understand a word. He needed a slap in his digital face. ...

#Operator: Kidnap Induced Heist
"Glad you have found our message", a distorted voice said with a noticeable ironic undertone. "We have your girlfriend. You know that. Hugo Niemann, you will do something for us. You will raid the crypto vault of Credit Cayman. We know what you're capable of." ...

#Operator: R00ts Plan
`B055` once showed her the place in the 3D map of Prague. "I'd go there", he said pointing at the ugliest piece of brutalism architecture that her otherwise beautiful home city had to offer. It was the abandoned, rotten TV tower. Now she came here to think from time to time. And there was a lot to process now. ...

#Operator: Come In
The day of the heist. `B055` and `R00t` prepared themselves. They chose flies as their Avatars. `R00t` once came up with that mod. Actually, avatars have to be at least 1 unit in height. For today's purpose, a little piece of nothing that could defy virtual gravity was a perfect fit. ...

#Operator: The Heist Itself
The safe was a different beast. It couldn't be cracked with programming skills. That was the task of `B055`, the Operator. Hugo did not only know most of the security systems by heart, he also had an intuition for the situation and he had a bespoke toolkit from `R00t`. So he went to work. ...

#Operator: Counter Heist
`B055` moved like a robot. This was his world, the crunch time. Twenty seconds left on the clock. The time was counting down in his heads-up display. For some of the data artefacts, he used ejectors to transfer the raw data. But some of them had to be extracted as a whole, the complete virtual objects. The problem: This would be discovered within minutes by the securities at Credit Cayman. ...
#Operator: Free
`B055` and `R00t` needed over three hours in their virtual lab to sort out and prepare the loot from the heist. Some of the data packets contained encrypted inclusions they had to crack first. Some others were still covered in their virtual objects. Paranoid shit. ...

Three weeks had passed since the heist. Although the first call with Hugo and Adele was heartwarming and tears were flowing, Hana felt a change. They barely worked together and they met in their real Avatars. At the same time, they were closer and more distant to each other. Hana decided that it was time to do something. She took the train to Hamburg. ...
