In the year 2034, while weapons have evolved to become increasingly lethal, just as the killer drones that are ubiquitous in cities, with the improvement of laser surgery, medicine has also made a big step forward .

Currently, it is extremely rare for a person injured by a knife or gun to die in hospital.

Since 2030, with the help of robotic arms precise to the micrometer, removing a bullet from a human body is now as fast as it is precise. The laser then intervenes to stop bleeding while the robotic arms suture arteries or wounds. They are also used to reconstruct body tissue so precisely that it is impossible for the human eye to discern even the slightest trace of a previous injury.

All modern hospitals have this technology, and while today's doctors have become of little use in some cases, many electronic and computer engineers roam the corridors of these health institutions.

This is the problem. No matter how accurate and efficient this state-of-the-art technology is, there is not a day that goes by when these fragile machines do not break down.

Paradoxically, to this technological miracle that saves so many lives, the number of deaths from cancer is steadily increasing.

These deaths due to this age-old scourge, which continue to increase, can be explained by soil and air pollution, which seeps into animals and vegetables intended for consumption.

Between the open-air chemical dumps, the new, cheaper nuclear power plants with thinner concrete walls and the various latest generation bombs tested by the different countries of the world, some underground researchers who are hiding out to live freely say that the world is breathing its last breath.

Hidden in the small storeroom at the bottom of the cellar, three housekeepers who just got back from hospital, run here to chat away from prying ears.

As housekeepers and cooks, these three women were forced to wait patiently for the more important people to come first before receiving their care. Some of these people had only a small cut on their finger or a simple drop on their nose, but these rich and powerful people still had priority on these three women bearing many injuries.

They had to wait four days for the robotic arms and lasers to do their job this morning. Their operations took between 10 and 14 minutes, no more than that. Very angry against this caste system and scared by the young Miss, who must not stay here under any circumstances, they met to decide on a plan of action.

Cook: "Do you think we should warn Sir?"

Maid 1 very angry: "Of course we should. If Young Miss were to stay here we'd be in grave danger and who knows if we'll get out alive next time?"

Maid 2: "Anyway, we don't have to call that monster, our young Miss, any more. Our young Miss died the instant that thing used its demonic abilities."

Maid 1: "I completely agree with you. It would be too dangerous not to report that such a beast is on the loose. Christine, you will call Mister."

Surprise cook. "Hey, why me?"

Maid 1: "What a question! Because you're the only one of us who sleeps with Monsieur, of course. Now that that's settled and until the monster leaves the house, I suggest we find an excuse to leave the premises."

Maid 2: "There's the possibility of going to the butcher shop, but... With three people, that's a bit of an exaggeration."

Maid 1: "All right, let's do it! Beef is not light when you're travelling without a car. Let's get, and I want you glued to your personal assistant to call Mister."

Sitting on her windowsill, Jane didn't miss a word of the conversation of this 3 women who act no different than traitors would. Not far from her, only a few steps away, the little cellar door opens.

When she sees the 3 women she has known since she was a child, Jane smiles badly. For the misfortune of these women, the outside door of the cellar opens directly onto the swimming pool and Jane could not hope for more.

Domestic workers are trying to make themselves invisible. They try to reach the large synthetic trees as quickly as possible for shelter, but something disturbs them a lot.

Suddenly they realize with dread that their legs are still moving, but they're always in the same place since a while. This unusual situation is certainly not normal.

When the cook looks down to find the source of the problem, a shrill scream runs through the huge garden.

"Our feet, our feet, they're more than 4 inches off the ground."

As soon as she utters her sentence, the three women feel thrown to their right. Their hands try to hold on to anything that might help them steady themselves, but otherwise their friends, they can't find anything in their path.

From her window, Jane, who looks at these 3 women panicking in the 40 inches of water, shakes her head. Although she is pleased with this small victory, she has no doubt that the rest will not be so funny.

However, whatever tomorrow holds for her, it will be tomorrow. Jane isn't really really been Jane since her abilities were awakened. Or rather, she has finally merged with the little girl, giving birth to a new individual with a stronger character.

A last glance at the three women in wet clothes who scream angrily at her, then immediately run away, snatches a discreet laugh from her.

Her laughter quickly calms down, when she realizes that she had forgotten: This! However, if she is forced to leave the silky cocoon that is this big house, it is high time she learned more about her own kind, which are the Hanumans.
