Ich bin ein Cyborg. Halb Mensch, halb Maschine. Mein Schöpfer hat mich optimiert, bis ich seinen Vorstellungen entsprach. Ich bin zum unbarmherzigen Kopfgeldjäger geworden, dessen Beute all die sind, die den sicheren Fortbestand der Menschheit gefährden. Versagen ist ein Fremdwort für mich. Mitleid ist nicht mehr als eine Phrase. Gefühle kennt mein mechanisches Herz nicht. Bis mich ein Auftrag an die Seite von Mara führt. Für sie sind Cyborgs kaum mehr als Handlanger, die kommentarlos all das erledigen, wovor die Menschen zurückscheuen. Doch ich weiß etwas über sie, dass mir Macht über sie gibt. Macht über einen Menschen.
