章 2028: Superheroes or supervillains

Aiden followed Sarah to the elevator, and they emerged on the lowest floor.

Sarah led the way into the vault where she started rummaging through one large box.

That is the box where Sarah keeps her personal valuables. Things in there are not necessarily valuable in terms of money, but they are mementos of the memories she doesn't want to forget.

Other than various Eve-enhanced security features, the vault has a strictly controlled temperature and humidity, so it is a perfect place to preserve things that should not be ruined by the passage of time.

"Got it!", Sarah exclaimed and pulled a palm-sized flat velvet box. She smiled mysteriously as she opened it.

Aiden looked at the medallion shaped as a kolovrat with a swan in the middle that was made out of one big sapphire. He blinked twice before his eyes widened in realization. "Isn't that just like the token that Council members had?"

Sarah grinned, happy that he figured it out.
