Planet Earth, United Kingdom...
Merry was on her way to the hospital with a few books for sick children when a passer-by ran into her.
"Idiot!" Screamed running over Helen, while she was pulling up her sleeves. Helen never "fondled" with anyone and anything, unlike perhaps too decent and kind Merry.
"Are you okay?" Helen said willingly, while helping Merry with the books, then they went to the hospital together.

Life in the Old London is not easy, and even worse in the poor neighborhoods, local security forces are almost non-existent, all concentrating on newly built upper-tier cities, and there are such differences between new and old cities that they look like they are from a different century.
Old London is a paradise for drug traffickers and thieves, and few people are willing to oppose them.

But Merry has nothing to worry about on her routine trips, Helen works better than any weapon by herself, despite the fact that she carries a few weapons with her. In addition, there are few criminals in this part of the city, most of them are in the vicinity of the river Thames, which they use to carry cargo.

"How many times have I told you to defend yourself when someone hits you so much? He could have robbed you!" Helen shouted like many times before.
"But it wasn't necessary, do you think he would steal a few old books?" Merry answered in a sad voice.
"Oh, you're so naive, Merry ... What will you do when I won't be here?"
"Stop scaring me, it won't happen." Merry cut her off and went on to the hospital.

Eleda Periphery of Imperial City...
"Launch the attack!" The commander of the Imperial guard called to begin the military exercise.
At that moment, waves of lightly armored soldiers with laser rifles plunged down the hill, taking positions in ditches and barricades. The same procedure followed the army from the other hill.

"What's the time, general?" Derren asked, writing down the operation into his diary.
"Today, the Empress will be pleased, Praetor (Empress's Guardian military mark) Derren, we broke the record for the duration of the troop transfer, and no one even stumbled and fell down the hill." The general laughed sarcastically.
"Forgive me for being so bold, but is there anything the Empress's Guard doesn't do?" The general asked.
"The Empress's Guard can do almost anything, general. Like the Empress, we represent the entire Empire, and we should manage almost everything." Derren replied proudly.
"Hmm... Will you still need me?"
“I'll let you do your job, general." Derren replied respectfully and walked to the off-road car behind the hill. Then he rode straight to the Imperial Palace.
Yes, even though it is the 24th century, many empire residents prefer wheeled vehicles, but on alternative propulsion, mostly the enriched helium 3.
