Pxan was walking in the residential area when he saw a large crow of people that had gathered near one of the richest homes in that district. The district manager had died but the crowd wasn’t there for it. Dead is a natural fact of existence and must be accepted, what is so exceptional about another dead man at the end?

No what really suprised them was that the entire building was closed by the police and the manager in question was under investigation for crimes against the state and the council. His body was also torn in half, like some sort of beast had attacked him in the final moments.

No one knew what to say, even if saying anything. In the manuals, there wasn’t a situation like this. > one of the men in the crowd said > the crowd seeing that a command was given they obeyed. Soon everyone, including his family and close friends took distances from the man and abandoned the place. Only Pxan and a few others remained.

A man placed his heavy arm on Pxan shoulder > it was Lhyps, he had been called there because a few of his robo-dogs and men had been assign to this investigation > the men with the robo-dogs agreed with the head.

It wasn’t hard to kill a man, even a district manager if one sat his mind to it. Everyone had some secret, some little crimes committed in the past for the sake of a greater good, especially when said people hadn’t been so wealthy, to begin with.

Rudolf, that was the manager name, had cheated on several tests, corrupted many officials, seduced a few people and evaded taxes several times. For his position, he was way too clean. It wasn’t that hard for a member of the inquisition to find those Infos and documents and delivered them to the police. But not the local district police, no. That was too much in his control. Why not that bunch of brutal policemen with Robo-hounds?

But Lhpys was right, this was too brutal and unnecessary, next time only silencing.

In a few days, time another manager came in charge. This time he didn’t even come near that house. After a bit people stopped denouncing Pxan for being weird and so Pxan could finally work in peace to his next project. After weeks of trials, he had managed to construct a walking robo-dog. There was just a problem he didn’t bit, he was useless in combat. He needed to upgrade it. In order to do so, he needed some “extra-legal” pieces of equipment.

To his surprise no one in the inquisition seemed to care about the legality and it was Rene himself who introduced him to the mystical world of the black market.
