Description
A righteous cause is a wonderful thing. Intangible, but it provides so much, a sense of reason, a point of meaning, a figure to focus on, a goal to accomplish. There are those out there who hold such a thing, who have this ideal in their hearts, and use it as the catalyst for their own wars, for their own endeavours, to reach their goals, to fight their fights. Then there are those who simply do because they enjoy. Sometimes this is a rare type of evil, evil for evil’s sake, and then other times, it’s for the art, it’s for the sheer joy of being the best, of being a true Artiste, and this is where we meet our man. They have no righteous cause; they have no murdered family to seek revenge for, no religion or God to be fearful of and to preach for, they have no rhyme or reason for their actions other than for the form, for the beauty, for the very point of being the best. The best coder, the best hacker, the best of the best in the metaverse that no one else can touch, able to sink between the endless lines of code and find the key that no one else can find, to cause mayhem and mischief and to rob and steal because they can, because they’re that good their name proceeds them. Mother Hinde knew, she knows, she sees what happens across those infinitesimal lines of code, and pulls out the pure, the corrupt, and the artists all the same, and so, she recruited the Artiste to their mission. Taken under Mother’s wing, he is now learning just how much further a righteous cause can propel a man.
