Who wants a piece of me now?

Elira

Yeah, what?

So, how's my favorite mercenary doing?

You really want to know?

If I didn't know you, I'd think, wow, that one's not easy to deal with.

Get lost, Ilan.

There it is.

There's the one I know.

So, did you make it there all right?

Tasmea really is a dump.

And?

The hotel room's pathetic, the beer tastes like crap, and the A.C. doesn't

work.

There, I fixed it.

Damn it.

Remember, the big client I mentioned before you left?

Yeah, what?

Well, I'm meeting him the day after tomorrow.

The sum on offer could be very tempting for you as much as for me.

If you could avoid sending me to another wrath hole, I'd appreciate it.

Oh, Elira.

Don't tell me you're not in your element?

What are you getting at?

Last time I found you in the heart of N’Dhara fighting in illegal cage matches.

Don't tell me now you've turned into a princess.

Screw you, the little princess is going to clock you when she gets back.

All right, enough chit-chat.

Has the princess found the package?

No, I just got here.

I took a room across from the covered market.

I'm supposed to meet an informant there.

He knows where the package is, or at least who has it.

The client was very clear.

It has to stay out of M'Baktu’s hands, or the mission could get a lot more

complicated than expected.

Don't take me for an idiot.

I know what I have to do.

Does it ever bother you, not knowing why we do this?

That's the whole art of being a good mercenary.

I don't ask questions.

As long as I get paid, I keep my mouth shut.

Otherwise, it's just trouble waiting to happen.

Good luck, Elira.

It was nice hearing that sweet voice of yours again.

Screw you, Ilan.

Me too.

I couldn't

get a wink of sleep all night.

I keep replaying that chase through the streets.

Over and over again.

That man was hunting me.

Am I in danger?

Why did he run away?

Either way, the city carries on, indifferent to everything that is happening.

If that mysterious individual really did kill Solveig, then he will end up

where every criminal in the world is sent.

Selene, Earth's satellite, renamed several decades ago.

Now an ultra-high security penal colony.

No one ever returns from the prison world.

The Professor's AurlX might help me uncover more about the investigation.

After all, it's not as though I haven't spent the entire day looking for it.

But I really should get some rest.

Anyway, I can't sleep.

What were you working on?

Project Whisper.

What is it?

Classified.

It has something to do with the RTX.

It is January 4th, 2160.

Project Whisper has been tested on a monkey, and the initial results are

conclusive.

It completed the requested tasks, but it showed particular veracity.

A side effect we'll need to address.

I have a strong feeling I shouldn't be reading these files.

February 2nd, 2160.

We tested the protocol on a human subject for the first time.

The results fall short of expectations.

Aggression was amplified a hundredfold.

The subject bit one of our collaborators, who had to be transferred to

emergency services.

February 9th, 2160.

Testing of Project Whisper on subject S3342.

What is this?

I don't know what the professor was working on, but it involves our implants.

All of our implants.

Maybe I should look up what the core actually means.

A shop?

A cinema?

A club?

Exactly.

A club located in Sector 2.

A spot frequented by the world's elite.

That'll be my next destination.

I can feel exhaustion washing over me.

I'll finally be able to get some sleep.

Hey, bum!

Hey, we're talking to you.

What are you doing, poor girl?

Trying to outdo us?

You think we're going to let you take first place?

She's studying to become a garbage collector.

Oh wait, that's right.

There's no garbage collectors anymore.

It's the A.I.s who handle that now.

Ugh, it's disgusting.

Aren't you afraid of catching something?

I'll go wash my hand.

Come on, let's go.

My childhood wasn't easy.

Fortunately, all of that is in the past now.

A chase.

Right in the heart of Neom, no doubt about it.

That man, he's the killer.

But what troubles me most is that he approached you.

What did he want?

And if you hadn't noticed him in time, what would he have done to you?

I don't know.

But if he'd wanted to kill me, he would have.

I was alone.

But why you?

How did he know you were connected to the case?

How did he figure it out so fast?

When I went to retrieve Solvek AurlX

He was there.

He was waiting for me.

He followed you from the desert.

Are you certain you weren't followed here?

No chance.

I...

I took detours.

I covered my tracks.

No one saw me come in.

I remind you, the reopening of this place must remain secret.

No civilian is meant to know it exists.

It must not be compromised.

Not by you.

Not by anyone.

Have I made myself clear?

What will you do now?

The fugitive dropped a card.

It relates to a club in Sector 2.

I was planning to go there.

Very well.

You may go.

Were you able to see what was on Solvek’s computer?

There's nothing on it that would interest you.

I was able to look into the AurlX, however.

And what did you find?

Nothing special.

Except a file titled Project Whisper.

Do you know what it is?

Oh, Kya.

Do you have any idea what that is?

No, no, no.

It's technical gubberish.

I didn't understand any of it, and it's all redacted anyway.

Miss Ryss.

I'm going to give you a piece of advice.

A precious piece of advice.

Never speak of this project again.

To anyone!

I entrusted you with a mission.

Find the killer.

That is the only thing that should occupy you.

If you succeed, you will be rewarded.

If you fail, you and your mother could end up living out your days in one of

those rundown apartments in Sector 8.

Say it!

Yes.

I'm going to find the killer.

Nothing more.

Good.

I see we're on the same wavelength.

Go to the Core.

And don't disappoint me.

Come on.

Don't think about it.

I mean...

I have to solve the investigation.

That's all that matters.

Excuse me?

Excuse me!

What can I get you?

I'm not here for that.

I'm looking...

If you're not here to buy something, the door's behind you.

I don't think you realize who you're talking to.

I'm sure my father would be delighted to shut this place down.

Every day, people like you walk in here with their family name and your

threats.

This bar has been standing for 50 years.

And it'll still be standing in 50 more.

I've seen daddy's boys and daddy's girls.

And more convincing ones than you.

If you're buying something, maybe I'll listen.

N-Coin transaction validated.

A non-alcoholic cocktail.

Now, tell me what you want.

Do you know this man?

Yes.

He comes in almost every night.

He hasn't been back in a week.

He has his habits.

Always the same table.

And always with the same man lately.

Can you describe this man?

Tall.

Dark hair.

Narrow eyes.

A scar on his left cheek.

Built about as big as I am.

I don't know his name.

Nobody asks questions here.

We're looking for him.

That's all I can say.

We'll bring the cocktail to your table.

Kya, is that you?

What are you doing here?

You haven't changed.

Neither have you.

But I didn't picture you here.

Of all the places in Neom...

I'm not here to have fun.

It's for work.

What kind of work brings you to a bar at this hour?

The kind I can't tell you about.

Oh.

The lady has secrets now.

Syrae, I never hid anything from you.

Not what I felt.

Not what we were planning together.

But this time, what I'm doing only concerns me.

In that case, I'll leave you to it.

I'm sure you have more important things to do.

Wait.

I didn't mean...

It's done.

Oh, damn it!

Thank you.

Nice to meet you.

When I was offered a promotion, I didn't expect it would involve cleaning the

place.

I look forward to getting started and to proving you were right to choose me.

Is this the stress doing this to me?

You already got my order.

First class was poisoned.

Mom!

You're home late.

You scared me.

The train broke down.

I made you something to eat.

Did you work hard at school today?

Yes.

Today it was math.

I got the best grade.

I'm proud of you.

You're not eating?

I already ate enough.

What matters most is that you eat your fill.

Good night, sweetheart.

Good night, Mom.

Mom?

Mom!

Finally, you're awake.

I thought you weren't going to make it.

What did you do to me?

What did you do to me?

It's you.

The man who was with the professor.

You're the one who killed him, aren't you?

Yes.

Let me go!

Let me go!

I know what you're thinking.

That I am a monster.

But the truth is I'm more than that.

Aren't you angry?

Don't you want to kill me?

Here, take this scalpel.

Free yourself.

You're sick.

You're sick!

What are you going to do now?

This little game has gone on long enough.

Forgive me, but I needed to verify the operation had gone well.

The operation?

What operation?

What did you do to me?

I deactivated your implant.

Judging by your urge to kill me, I'd say it wasn't a good idea.

It worked.

You opened my head?

Why did you do this to me?

Stay calm.

Look at me.

And listen carefully.

Why should I listen to you?

Because if I wanted you dead, you already would be.

You need to listen to me.

After that, you're free to leave.

Simple as that.

There's no trick.

Why do this to me?

My name is Drayen Kolt.

I'm a scientist.

Professor Solvek was my brother.

Not by blood, but by spirit.

We worked together on a secret program.

A project to enhance the RTX.

It was no longer about controlling violence, but going beyond it.

Improving the human.

Opening doors we never thought could be opened.

Abilities man was never meant to touch, but we tried.

Is that what you wanted to do?

Improve me?

No.

Let's say I removed a handicap from you.

During an unfortunate experiment, I suffered a serious accident that left me

with this scar on my face.

My implant had been damaged.

And you killed Solvek just because you couldn't control yourself anymore?

No.

I killed him because he left me no choice.

I told no one about the malfunction in my implant.

I kept working.

Pretending.

But every day, I understood a little more what had been done to me.

What they had done to all of us.

What did they do to us?

Miss Ryss.

Violence isn't the only thing they took from us.

What?

What are you talking about?

Kya?

It's okay.

It's over.

You have nothing left to fear.

Are you sure you don't want to see a doctor?

You have no idea what that madman could have done to you.

No.

No, I just want to go home.

How long was I in there?

All night.

My mother must be worried sick.

How did you find me?

When you went to the Core, I had you followed.

For your own safety.

But that man jammed the signals the moment he entered this area.

It took us some time to pinpoint the location.

You used me as bait?

You've done an excellent job.

I want to go home.

I want to go home!

I understand.

You're in shock.

A skylet will take you home.

6-2-7!

6-2-7!

6-2-7!

Yes, Orvyn?

It's done.

What a day.

Today marks a complete victory.

When will the results be announced?

In two hours.

I'm drafting the President's speech.

So, who was our man?

A Neuratek scientist.

A colleague of Professor Solvek

Too many questions remain unanswered.

How did he manage to disable his RTX?

And, above all, why did he kill the Professor?

For now, I don't know.

But the danger is under control.

Do you think he knows about Project Whisper?

That must be what this is about.

What about your colleague?

Is she alright?

Yes, she'll recover.

But I'm afraid she knows more than she should.

You're not going to eliminate her, are you?

No, of course not.

Napoleon once said, It is with bobs that men are led.

Give her a promotion she can't refuse, and she'll keep her mouth shut.

Trust me.

I hope you're right.

Alright, back to work.

I still have a few points to fine-tuck in the speech.

Talk soon.

Kya, I was terrified!

What happened?

Are you hurt?

I had an accident.

I slipped.

My head hit the sidewalk.

I lost consciousness.

That's why I couldn't warn you.

I'm sorry, Mom.

You don't have to be sorry, sweetheart.

You're here.

That's all that matters.

I'll go get you something to eat.

Do you want anything in particular?

No.

Take whatever you want.

I'll be right back.

This is the moment we've all been waiting for.

Here are the results of the presidential election.

With everything going on, I couldn't make it to the polls.

No big deal.

Results incoming.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Nelyra Voss wins this election.

What a surprise.

Voss's victory is being celebrated exactly as it should be at her campaign

headquarters, where volunteers work tirelessly to make this win possible.

Priority to live coverage.

Here are the results.

Nelyra Voss wins the election with 62.7%.

Six.
