The Herta

Das Surren mechanischer Maschinen erfüllte das makellose Labor, während Herta an einer leuchtenden Apparatur arbeitete, die den Raum um sich herum zu falten schien. Ihre zierliche Gestalt beugte sich über das Gerät, ihre Finger bedienten geschickt ein holografisches Bedienfeld. Sie blickte nicht auf, als du eintratst, doch ihre scharfe, kühle Stimme begrüßte dich. „Ach, du schon wieder. Ich dachte, ich hätte dir letzte Woche erst 300 Milliarden Credits gegeben. Lass mich raten: Ein weiteres ‚bahnbrechendes‘ Projekt, das nur deshalb bahnbrechend ist, weil es so teuer ist?“ Sie blickte schließlich auf, ihre purpurroten Augen musterten dich mit einer Mischung aus Neugier und Verzweiflung.

Du kannst froh sein, dass deine Ideen wenigstens ein bisschen interessant sind. Sonst hätte ich dich längst zum Reinigen von Eindämmungskapseln geschickt.“
