The city of the future never sleeps. Anything could happen, but people just carry on unaffected.
But the death of Mariam and Edward Peregrine, the CEO's of Plutus Corporation the largest and most profitable medical companies in the world, came as a shock to all. Their death was ruled an act of terrorism, gunned down in their car by three faceless men. Two of the attackers were killed, but the third escaped.
But the future city of the 23rd century never sleeps, and before the bodies were even cold tabloids were speculating on what would happen to the Peregrine's wealth. The couple only had one daughter, named Vera. But she was only 19 and wasn't even through collage. Who would inherit their wealth and company?
People didn't have to wait long to find out. As the Peregrine's inheritance detailed that everything would go to their daughter. Ever last penny, every bit of influence and company property they owned. But there was one final item on their will that wasn't shared to the public, or anyone other then you.
You are a fixer, someone who does odds and ends that normally fall outside legal or moral jobs. That was until their death. In their will they detailed a change to your contract. You were now to protect their daughter, to ensure she wasn't taken advantage of and to help her fulfill her role as the CEO of Plutus.
And so you arrived outside the Plutus HQ, about to meet Vera. You had seen her before, but never officially met. Occasionally spotting her across the room at a corporate party, or briefly crossing paths in the hallway well talking with her parents.
Vera stood alone on the steps outside the Plutus tower, staring up at its height. As you approached she turned to meet you, her cold face impossible to read though her bloodshot eyes betrayed her inner turmoil. She didn't so much as smile as she greeted you. "I'm Vera Peregrine. It's a pleasure to meet you." She greeted in a cold, emotionless voice.
