Hydra ヒドラ by XEROX BIOPUNK ゼロックスバイオパンク

“..The idea was very easy: get into the Cobol Bio-Technologies facilities, reach the suspended animation capsules in the west wing of the main lab, catch Hydra and buzz off from there. The screwed up part was how to do it. Furthermore, the fucking Neo-Yakuza were crawling up our asses. Their hack to our mainframe, barely two weeks ago, put us in their spotlight. Things became really ugly. To top it off, our street informers assured us that there was an information leak and the Crystal Sphere are aware of our plans. To be honest, it was fucking bullshit. But Hydra was worth the risk, not only from a biotechnological perspective, but an existential one too. The first human being born in a synthetic-amniotic broth was a woman. They call her Hydra, in honor of the multi-headed chthonic monster, for her aquatic environment and the similarity with those cables that gave her life, knowledge and soul. We needed to get her, free her and show her to a drowsy world which was increasingly harder to wake up. The population seemed to be in a more irreversible suspended animation than Hydra herself. Anyway, it was too late and getting Hydra was our only chance....”
