Natasha Parker walked briskly into Senator Monica Goldberg's office. "You wanted to see me Senator?" she asked.
"Take a look at this." replied Monica sliding a stack of satellite photos over to Natasha.
Natasha surveyed the photos. They showed a large land parcel that had a thick concrete wall with watchtowers, a few structures either completed or under construction, along with an access road that showed a convoy of shipping trucks. There were large thermal signatures, indicating power generation, yet very little electromagnetic radiation due to a lead mine. "It looks like a fairly normal industrial park development" she said cautiously.
"It is an eyesore and a blight on the map of Massachusetts! I had thought that that vile lead mine had been sealed off for good. But that idiot Congressman DuPont sold it off, and now its new owner is building this monstrosity on it!" replied Monica coldly.
Natasha fought down the urge to roll her eyes at the all too familiar feeling of déjà vu. Keeping her voice steady, she asked: "What would you like investigated Senator?"
Monica tossed another report onto the desk. "Despite efforts to obfuscate it through a set of different LLCs, that industrial park belongs to a single entity, Sirius Software, and a single individual, Aaron Zakhrov. He's barely 18, so it's probably a poorly disguised front. Infiltrate it and find a way to crush it." she instructed.
"Yes, Senator." replied Natasha, struggling to keep her emotions under control. She picked up the file, and left the office.
Monica pulled out a small face compact and checked herself in the mirror after Natasha had left.
The cosmetic surgery procedures she had undergone had made her barely recognizable from the pudgy girl that was Emily Clarke.
"Aaron Zakhrov. You are going to pay for what you did!" she whispered to herself, her eyes gleaming with hate.
