The pile of papers on the desk was growing by the day. Wolfgang Weisen, the aspiring Deceiver of the Lane Hackers, had most of his documents in digital form however the most important ones were printed in order to analyze them more closely.
Calculations, production costs, designs, trade routes, potential clients, list of workers and their profiles, materials and storage space, were some of the issues which he had to overcome and in these papers he explained how to overcome them.
It was an ambitious project. More and more people around Sirius wanted cybernetics. Not just to replace body parts lost in accidents or in war, but also to replace healthy body parts with more efficient and powerful mechanical counterparts. While this wasn't mainstream practice, it was considered 'trendy' among some circles thus the constant demand for cybernetics. This is where Wolfgang wanted to capitalize on, black market cybernetics, free from any government regulation and restrictions are extremely expensive but most avoided them because they weren't any guarantees they'd work properly. Since cybernetics are connected with the human nerve system, they are extremely dangerous if they do not work properly. Severe brain damage or even death could result from a black market part.
And this was Wolfgang's idea. Where the Lane Hacker reputation and quality standards came in. With their reputation they could sell to clients when others cannot.
The Rheinlander picked up a paper which showed the plans for a reconstruction of the bottom floor of the station into the cybernetics industry. He had been granted very limited funds and thus he had to cut the costs signficantly. Most of the workforce was made by robots and slaves, with Lane Hacker technicians employed only on a supervisory role. If things went according to plan, it wouldn't be long before the construction line was operational and the first prototypes were produced.
"I should check the progress of our Bioresearch branch. The new OB-65 models for arms and retinas should be ready for mass production. Should evaluate test and clinical results. Und.. reply to clients on Planet Denver for the specifications they asked." He said to the computer, recording and updating his To-do list. Wolfgang then stood up, exited the room, and took the elevator.
