The Art of the Impossible 4
CHAPTER 4
Dr. Tezuka was rather plump for a Japanese person, round-faced, and only slightly less tall Meta, who certainly wasn't short. As he rose from his desk to meet Meta, she noticed he was wearing a red beret - not really expected from a doctor... but then, when did she last see one in THIS sort of hospital?
The place was not really the kind of hospital Meta was used to. There were no stretchers or trolleys, no busy nurses running around, no smell of medicine and disinfectant. Instead, there were bars on some windows, and the place felt quiet - perhaps too quiet. There was also a door sign, which Pero translated as soon as M
"Okay. I'm inside the Crypton network. Now what?"
"Now i want you to kidnap Len Kagamine".
"Hey why bother? I have like five copies here, dude. Vocaloid 2, Vocaloid 3, Act 1, Act 2, and whatever appendix..."
"Ah shut up. I don't want you to copy Len. I want you to kidnap him so they don't have him anymore".
"Hey, that won't work. I can delete the voice bank from master storage but they likely have a backup somewhere".
"Do it. PLEASE."
Click-click, tap-tap-tap...
"SHIT! Looks like I was traced. Whatever is done will do. Sayonara!"
The sunny-haired boy removed the gun from the other man's head, jumped out the window, and sped away on a

CHAPTER 3
"A law on robot rights?" - Meta yawned, as the long trip was taking its tall, - "What has that to do with anything?"
"The Japanese law on robot rights was passed when independent robot sentience became evident." - This was indeed the voice of a guide, and even though it spoke quietly to avoid waking the other passengers, it was still crystal clear; but wait, was that a streak of pride? - "A string of events, culminating in the rescue after a circus fire..."
"Arrgh, ho-old it." - Meta's speech was somewhat slow. - "I know that part very well. But what about the Shock?"
"When the islands of Honshu, Shikoku and most others were eva

CHAPTER 2
Meta would not lose a minute. She fired off emails to Mom, Dad, and work.
A backpack with basic clothes on her shoulders, she only hesitated for a moment when locking the door. If she's gone for a month or two, the room and all that's in it will go to someone else. The job might go sooner - she was not supposed to disappear like that.
"Will I have anything to come back to?...
My life won't be the same.
Yet, does it matter?
My name is Meta.
I have an aim". [1]
She turned the key in the door, put it in the code locker, and followed Black Jack outside.
It turned out that there was no need for the hurry. Black Jack had hired

CHAPTER 1
"Knock knock".
It was bitter cold. Meta, in her dark warm pants and a red sweater, was cowering by the radiator, catching its feeble heat. Annoyed, she put away the keyboard and rose to open the room door.
Behing it was a strange-looking man. His hair was white on half his head and black on the other half, and a scar crossed half of his face. His cloak was apparently black, but now mostly white with snow.
"Meta?" the man asked.
"Hey, get this cloak on the hooks right there! I'm cold as it is" - she snappe
