Such an advanced world. It was amazing how much humanity had evolved over the last few years. Nobody would have thought this was possible, but the world had made technology and human fusion possible. Some had chosen to go full out with the evolution, and more or less changed into robots, while others decided to only have small bits of augmentations in their bodies. However, everyone were now part of the technological advanced world, in one way or the other. This also meant that it had become more dangerous when people was exposed to hacking attempts. The Cyber Killers, or Cyber Assassins, as some would prefer to call them, were the new kind of terrorists, at least if you had to believe what the news told you every day on the television. These people were masters in hacking and killing from a distance, simply by getting entrance to the augmentations, wires, and everything else, that humans now had in their bodies. There were countless of ways that these Cyber Assassins could kill a person, and most of them was not a pleasant way to go. It was usually painful and lasted long enough for the victim to want to commit suicide, though the victim was usually unable to do so, as they would be completely controlled or destroyed by the hacker, and would have lost control over their own body.
Gravity Zero, as she called herself, was one of those Cyber Assassins. She didn’t belong to any of the factions that existed in the world yet, she went her own ways, but that didn’t make her less dangerous. She was a professional and she had never once been caught. She had many augmentations, some that hadn’t even been possible to do for the common people and scientists. She had invented some technology herself, and had placed it in her own body. It had saved her life when she had done so, as her life hadn’t been one of flowers and pink beautiful clouds. She had her reasons for doing what she did, and she wouldn’t stop, no matter what. She liked to kill, when people deserved to die, and she liked to torture, when people deserved to be tortured. She didn’t go after innocent people, however, the police obviously didn’t always agree on when a person was innocent, and when they weren’t. For Gravity Zero, a person who was good at cheating the system was just as bad as a serial killer, which meant she would kill, or torture, or possibly both, that person. The police didn’t think that person was guilty of a hard crime, if even a crime at all. Many politicians and big companies cheated with the tax and all other things in the world, as they always had, and everyone knew it. It seemed that just because people knew about it, it made it okay and it made it apparently impossible to give them some kind of punishment for doing so, which was one reason why Gravity Zero took down those people as well.
Today was just another day in paradise for her. She had her target, and she was already in the system. It was a male 40 years of age, who had not only been cheating on his husband, but had lied about his sexuality to gain entrance to his husband’s high-value company. Gravity Zero had found out that he wasn’t even a homosexual person, he had just pretended to be that, to gain access to the company. At the same time, he had been seeing a woman, which seemed to be in on it as well. Gravity Zero would have her turn with the woman later on, as she wasn’t that innocent either, but for now, she had to take care of the man, and she would do it while he was in a crowded area, so everyone could feel the fear of the unseen. Gravity Zero was sitting in the top floor of a very high apartment building, one of the most expensive apartments you could find in the whole city. It had glass walls all around, though you couldn’t see inside the apartment, from the outside, but she could see outside the windows just fine. The windows were very thick and bullet proof, which meant they wouldn’t break easily. She had very expensive furniture in the living room and the bedroom, and she had a very expensive bathroom as well. All in all, she lived like a millionaire, without ever having worked for it. In the living room, she had the technology that she needed to hack into people’s bodies. All it took really, was a plug-in system that she attached to her back, which went into the machine, not bigger than a computer, and from there, she would be able to follow the technological code that she was hunting for.
She could see out of the eyes of the man she was inside as well, which meant she knew everything that he was doing, at all times, for as long as she was attached to the system. She smiled to herself, the time had come to finish him off, after she was done, she would have to go play a little online game to keep her skills as sharp as ever, but first, she would have fun. Outside in the sunshine, the man was walking through the crowded plaza now, when he suddenly stopped. His briefcase that he had in his hand, dropped to the ground and his arms started to stretch themselves out to the sides. “Wha-what’s going on!?” he shouted out, which made people turn around to look at him. Gravity Zero grinned to herself “This is for lying and cheating you fucking piece of shit.” Even though she spoke, the man wouldn’t be able to hear her. She started up her own personal virus, which was a self-destructive one that couldn’t be traced or found after the host died. The man started to scream in pain, his body started to electrocute him from the inside, his own two hands went up to his eyes and started pressing into them. She then started to decompose his metallic bones in his legs, which the man would feel like acid melting away the rather tough metal that the bones were made of. People started to scream just as loud as the man did. Gravity Zero smiled “Here comes the finishing blow.” She traced his wires to his heart and made the flow of his energy go in the opposite direction, so instead of going out from his heart, they went straight into his heart instead. His eyes had been destroyed and blood was coming out from them, he was lying on the ground as well, as his metallic bones had completely melted away. His heart now beat so fast because of the electricity that was flowing into it, that it was growing in size, and a few seconds later, it exploded with enough force to create a hole in his chest and destroying the front of his tuxedo and shirt. People fainted and those that didn’t, ran away screaming. Someone had called the police, but before the whole game was over, she tuned into one of the commercial billboards above the plaza. She didn’t show a picture of herself obviously, and she didn’t talk, what happened was instead something else. She made her name appear on the billboard “Gravity Zero.” in bright neon blue color. Though people wouldn’t know whether that was a name, or something else, as it wasn’t explained. The police might have seen the name before, if they had been searching through other cases prior to this one, but the public wouldn’t know of it.
She then detached herself from the body she was in and the technological tube that went into her back and pulled up her shirt. “A job well done.” She smiled. She turned around and turned on the TV, which was built into the glass wall that faced the whole city. If the news would show the incident, she wanted to see what they said about it, though she was sure that they were already there. As she turned to the news channel, she was right, the reporters were there. “We are standing here at the plaza where a most horrifying scene has just taken place. A man killed himself it seems, though it is unsure whether it was a malfunction in his augmentations, or whether it had something to do with the ‘Gravity Zero’ sign that appeared shortly after his death. No factions of the Cyber Terrorists have taken responsibility for the attack, which leads to the question of what it was that caused the death of Traloy McCallan, and what ‘Gravity Zero’ truly is.” Gravity Zero smiled to herself, the fools had no idea who they were talking about, and that was just what she wanted. The clock was 12 Midday, and her job was done.
When the time hit eleven PM, she had logged into the online game ‘Augmented War’, which was an online game that allowed you to play in virtual reality. Virtual reality wasn’t something new anymore, it was a system well known, and was used for all gaming consoles now. But this game had been the latest installment in online gaming, and it had taken it to a new level with feeling and precise control of the avatar you played as. She logged in with her username ‘Sierra’ and pressed ‘Search for lobby’. It didn’t take long, as the game was very famous. She didn’t really care that much about the team she was on, as she could usually keep her team winning by her own score itself. She was good at the game, one of the best, but she had never wanted to go to the press or anything like that, or make money on it, even though she often got messages in the game from people saying that she was good and that she should really make money by joining tournaments and so on. But if she did that, her identity would come out, and she had done so much to make sure that her identity would stay hidden. Besides, this game was a way for her to relax without having to make any serious kills; it would be a shame if she had to destroy the game and the players that had met in her in the game, just because someone wanted her to become famous.
