Dossier: Megaera
 |
Meet the Avenging Angel... Shireel's friends could do little but stand by and comfort her as she sobbed watching Herman Wasserberg smilingly receive a crowd of well-wishers. The holofilm executive had just won the court case she had brought against him; two agonizing years of pre-trial motions¸ testimonies¸ shifting alliances¸ cross-examinations¸ repeated journeys into her own personal hell¸ and public scorn had finally come down to a "not guilty" verdict for him¸ and unending mental torment for her. Wasserberg reached the door of a grav limo that had glided silently up for him. He turned momentarily to wave one last time at the crowd just as his head exploded in a cloud of reddish mist. Chaos quickly ensued. Shireel's friends hustled her back inside the courthouse and relative safety as police streamed to the scene. Later¸ when Shireel arrived at her apartment¸ she found a small folded piece of paper tucked into the door jamb with only three words in neat handwriting: "You're welcome. Megaera." Lucene Kaz was a talented rising star in the Naval Intelligence office¸ respected for her intel analysis and profiling skills. Until a lustful commanding officer took the ultimate liberty…and with it¸ Lucene's self-esteem¸ her reputation¸ and ultimately her career. After watching the perpetrator get away with what he had done¸ she took matters - and justice - into her own hands. And ever since she's been willing to do the same for other women who suffered similar wrongs under the codename Megaera¸ an ancient spirit of vengeance.
