The Past - April 2047 - Mumbai

"Any news yet?" asked a tall, well-built man, sitting at the rear of the Rolls Royce Silent Shadow, a self-driving, EV which had a special silicon shell, that could make it stealth. 

"Athena, move to stealth," commanded, the older, shorter man sitting next to the tall man, speaking to the operating system of the car

"Athena, move to stealth," commanded, the older, shorter man sitting next to the tall man, speaking to the operating system of the car.

"You have to give me something. I am completely blindsided. Is there no information you can give me," asked the older man.

"There is one thing I can tell you for certain, this girl will not be hidden. She will show herself and when she does, you will know. As surely as you know the sun rises in the east, you will know it is her. And we need to get to her before he does. If he gets to her before we do..." the man looked outside the windows of his invisible Rolls. His eyes were covered by wide, dark shades. The shades were embedded with diamonds. The "C" of Chopard was embossed on the rim of the shades. He had on diamond solitaire studs to both his ears.

His wardrobe consisted of a black t-shirt, which he had paired with a black python skin Fara Grey and Peter Marco diamond jacket, in gleaning black leather. He wore black pants and black boots, which had diamonds studded in them.

"I don't know how you do it. Don't you feel exhausted?" asked the older man, looking at the lean, toned body next to him. 

The man seemed to turn towards the older mam. "Uncle chacha, I can't get done fast enough, I want nothing more than..." and he turned his gaze away. His voice was devoid of any emotion, either pain or disdain.

Adrija ran in just as the security guards were closing the "Id Check Counter"

"Hey hey hey..." she scrambled to get to the guards, standing with a gun-like object in their hands.

"You barely made it lady," said, one of the guards, as he recorded her, through his dark shades. The scanner in his eyewear quickly scanned her face and pulled up her Human profile. HUMAN stood for Homospaien Universal Microsearch, Analysis, and Navigation. An operating system is especially used for service devices. It pulled up the master data of a person's social media and analyzed it to see if the person represented themselves accurately and could be used for navigation and analysis as well.

These days it was mostly used in schools and hospitals, airports, etc. which were vulnerable to terrorist attacks, to stop potential, mischief makers from getting access to sensitive areas.

"Here," she put her left forearm out. They scanned a code that appeared under her translucent skin and pulled the white cloak that had gone invisible until a few seconds ago, aside. if someone tried to gatecrash, they would be zapped, by the electrodes in the curtain.
