 A Strange Beginning

 Rella, crouched down behind the sofa in the main entrance of the expensive hotel as her quarry began the labourious signing in process. 
 As with all Visitors from offworld he would be registering any implants and enhancements with the hotel computer and the registration would be checked with the central computer that had scans of her quarry as he entered through customs.  The system had worked for many years but there were always ways around it, Sometimes people had dual control systems so that if a weapon had been disabled by the local Cyberfield it would still work. Others just modified their implants to be inert during travel and reactivate them once they had reached their destination. Rella's quarry was not one of those, although he had the highest amount of cyber implants she had ever heard of, Full body replacement was still a few years off and the interface control technology was not perfect but he was 90% cyber.. 
 	Jared Steinwold finished booking into the hotel and after the hotel had insisted on disabling any extra functionality on his cyber limbs and actually reducing his strength to less than a child, he struggled with his case towards the elevator. Suddenly a woman came up behind him and took the case off him. Leaning forward she said "Would you like some help with that friend?" her voice was not local dialect but a smart integral, turning round and looking at her his blue eyes met her deep brown eyes under a short cut bob of chestnut hair, his eyes drifted down to her obviously feminine curves and the long legs stretching down to the floor. He noticed that she had a cyber arm and what looked like an eye and memory upgrades, wondering if she had been forced to disable all her enhancements?  Jared stammered an embarrassed thank you and let the strange woman help him into the elevator.  "What floor are you on?" she queried. Jared looked at his ident "Errm, Says here Floor 235 Room 34965a" he responded pointing to the Hotel Id he had been given.
 	Rella couldn't believe her luck at this break, he was as weak as a child and he would make easy pickings, his arms and legs would bring a huge amount on the black market, and just looking at the quality of the plastiskin she knew that it was top grade.
 Rella reached forward and placed her hand on the id plate. It glowed red then purple as she used the multikey in her palm to activate the hidden modes in the elevator control panel. The elevator began not to rise, but to drop down deeper into the depths of the planet, below the maintenance area into an area known as the wasteland, About 50 years ago they tried building down as well as up but control of the new vast underground was nigh impossible and quickly degenerated into anarchy. Jared looked confused, that was how Rella wanted it. The elevator slowed and stopped, as the door opened there were 2 goons waiting there with electro prods, Rella signalled them to stand down. "This one was restricted at the front desk he is about as strong as a small child, he can't give us any trouble as we harvest his obvious High Grade parts.". The goons relaxed and started to lead their prisoner towards a mech bay with all the tools needed to remove all his cybernetic implants. Not one of them noticed that Jared was calm and relaxed when he should have been fighting to escape certain death.
 	Suddenly Jared struck out his cyber implants once more at full power, quickly disarming and disabling the goons then in one fluid movement stretched out his arms across the room to block the exit and wrap his flexi arms round Rella who tried to escape but couldn't move in his strong grip. "Wha... " she blurted out just before Jared said "Galactic Criminal Department, You're under arrest." Rella's eyes grew cold, "you won't take me or this place copper" and with that her body started whining as her internal power supply went into overload, Jared cursed and knowing that once an overload is started it cannot be stopped quickly rereated to the elevator and jammed the button for ground floor and express travel. As the doors closed he could see Rella's grimace as she stood arms wide her skin starting to glow from inside as the internal nuclear power cell went into overload.
 The elevator began moving up quickly but not quickly enough as it was rocked with the strength of the explosion below. As the elevator arrived at the ground floor and the doors opened the foyer was full of police with their weapons pointing at the elevator door. When they saw Jared they lowered their weapons and the sergeant in charge moved forward, "So you couldn't keep this one alive either Jared, that's 4 this week. You must be slipping" he said with a grin. "Not at all Paul, its another black market channel closed and another hotel secured for the tourists. See you back at HQ" as Jared walked off and out into the street.
