The Map, Key, Blade and Book are the four targets of Buddy Aurinko's crime family, and the hunt for them is the main focus of Juno Steel season 3. Buddy believes that these four items together will allow them to steal the Curemother Prime from the galaxy's pharmaceutical mega-corporations, and bring health care to everyone. Peter Nureyev initially plans to bring these items to the Dokana Group in order to pay off his debt.[1]
The Map[]

The Gilded Globe of Reaches Far is a bejewelled antique, dating back to the earliest caravans to The Outer Rim. Its surface is covered with gold circuitry, and jewels to mark planets. Peter Nureyev describes it as the most valuable map in the solar system.[2]
The technology is similar to another piece of the early space explorers; the Thinking Column of the First Voyage.[3] It was a ten foot tall computer full of hypercondensed gold circuitry, storing the navigation system of the first terraforming probe. In real life, NASA and computer engineers use gold coating of circuits to prevent corrosion.
The Key[]
The Key is a short song by M'Tendere, the galaxy's most brilliant weapons designer. They built the weaponized lock box that is rumoured to store the Curemother Prime, but did not design a way to open it. They did, however, build a fail-safe into every piece of their technology after they were robbed by Jet. All their devices and weapons will self destruct when those musical notes are played.[4]
The Blade[]

The Blade is a device named for its ability to slice through digital defences in seconds. When it has infiltrated a system, it can also project a holographic readout of whatever it is connected to.[5]
The Book[]
The Book is a computer program that is the closest humanity has ever come to true artificial intelligence. It finds passwords, schematics and addresses at incredible speeds, purely out of curiosity. It is kept in high security because as soon as it was activated it started finding top secret systems and exposing them. Placing it on an isolated server in a high security server farm was the only way they could stop it, in Morpheus Maximum Security Data.[6] Rita, Juno and Peter set the book free within the facility and made a copy of it, to use to find the Curemother Prime.[1]
Morpheus is designed to be inhospitable to humans; the hallways are only 5 feet high, and it has no heat or oxygen. It has to be navigated by sophisticated remote control drones. It was destroyed by Dark Matters.
