After breakfast, Aurora made her way toward her hidden base, the sleek tires of her matte-black car crunching quietly over the gravel path.
She parked at her usual spot, her movements precise, mechanical—her mind already several steps ahead.
The morning sun glinted off the tinted windshield as she stepped out and made her way toward the far end of the sprawling villa estate, the part no one else dared enter without clearance.
The secluded corner looked like an ordinary garden shed from the outside, but a retina scan and a soft mechanical hiss revealed the truth.
Inside was a state-of-the-art lab that would make even the government's top-secret units envious.
AI-driven data processors hummed softly. Touchscreen walls blinked to life at her presence.
Aurora had invested billions into this space.
She loved researching, and whatever new technology hit the market—especially if it was faster, sharper, and more technically advanced—she would buy it without a second thought.
