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

[Nicholas Bower]

- Mhm.

After the woman had taken all her clothes off, Nicholas stubbed out his cigar and started slowly scanning her body starting from her head with the portable device he brought with himself. Once he reached lower the scanner revealed a very invasive chip rooted deeply in the woman's spinal core which was connected with the visible port on her neck. He further scanned her back and legs but found no visible modifications or implants.

- Turn around, please.

The woman slowly turned around while trying to hide her shame with her hands. Nicholas quickly finished scan of her body, which detected a large quantity of nano-mechanical entities within the bloodstream and shown that several bones had been reinforced with a thin plating of an unknown material.

- You certainly have a very interesting body, Sweetheart.

The old smuggler turned off the portable scanner, put the woman's old clothes in the bag and thrown it to the large molecular incinerator in the middle of the cargo hold. Only most paranoid smugglers were installing such devices in their ships to be able to get rid of a hot cargo in an event of a lawful patrol or inspection. The incinerator automatically detected and dispersed the bag and its contents.

- You may dress now. I am sure you will find some boots in your quarter. We will reach Airdrie tomorrow, so expect a dinner in four hours. Let's go.
