The mind is a wonderful toy. A tale of a woman with no past and every future.

[Nicholas Bower]

An older man in his late fifties smoking a cigar walked up the cargo ramp of an unmarked freighter in the dock 11 on Padua Base. Once he reached the top he instantly hit the button on the wall.

- Welcome back, Nicholas.

A soothing ship's AI voice greeted the man after the built in sensor confirmed his identity. The hatch closed and the ship was sealed. A small status screen showed silent intruder alert. One human, possibly female, currently located in starboard section of the cargo bay. Nicholas Bower opened the nearby locker, took out a bio-hazard bag, a black engineering suit and a bio-scanner, and went directly to meet his guest. A very attractive young raven-haired woman wearing a leather jacket was sitting on a closed crate and waiting. Before she managed to say anything Nicholas thrown the bag and suit under her feet, put the scanner in his left hand and finally took out cigar from his mouth.

- Undress.

A licentious smile arrived on his face when he had noticed terror and hesitation in the woman's eyes. He took a deep puff of the cigar and switched the bio-scanner on.

- Take off all your clothes and put them in the bag. We really don't have whole day for this, honey.
