Lower Manhattan, "Helheim Underworld" Black Market Lynn’s iris scanner blinked, displaying an account balance: $562.80. She plugged the neural interface into the ATM, and suddenly, the encrypted account of the Vatican Bank from 1945 activated. The balance fluctuated wildly, reaching a nine-digit sum before abruptly resetting to zero. "Interesting," she murmured, pulling out the blood-stained data cable.
