The characters

Three figures bound by one rule: "if you receive a favor, repay it when asked." The detective, the bartender, and the ally you'll never be sure is one.

Bet0, the investigator

Bet0

Investigator of impossible cases · Former news engineer

Former news engineer and data science expert, now a detective on NanoDetectives, the country's most popular investigation app. His past is a void: he remembers nothing before adolescence.

Everything changes when he meets someone identical to himself. From the XANTAF3 bar, his base of operations, he chases two truths at once: the case's… and that of his own origin. Is he a clone, an experiment, a beta version?

Kunak, the techno-medium bartender

Kunak

XANTAF3 bartender · Techno-medium

He belongs to a lineage of techno-mediums who use their ethnic heritage to hack biological computers. That skill earned him work with the police until he was fired over an incident he'd rather not discuss —one that left him friends and enemies on both sides of the law.

He left hacking to work the door of a dive bar he eventually bought. He's 89 though he looks 43, and has contacts everywhere: in the world of XANTAF3, he's the go-to source for information.

Silvia, the unclassifiable ally

Silvia

Unclassifiable ally · Augmented AI

With her you never know if she's friend or foe. A young woman with cybernetic implants in which an artificial intelligence wanted by the law lies hidden.

From early on she had a hard life —substances, extreme experiences— that left her with trauma and cognitive damage. The AI in her implants fixed them… and literally takes control of her when she's in danger.
