CHAPTER 18

I spent the next few days in bed as I was in a constant state of delirium. My body tried to cope with the procedure and attempted to recover, and thanks to the mass of nanites running through me, I was doing well I figured. Except for the small entry wound in the back of my head, the rest of my body felt fine after the third day had passed. In fact, I felt great.

I managed to get up out of bed with ease and ordered breakfast which consisted of a big steak with eggs—synthetic of course, as I didn’t want to deplete my account entirely, but it was still delicious. Once I had taken a long shower, put on some fresh clothes, and made sure my abilities worked more or less as advertised, I decided to head out into the streets of Instormia. See the sights, check the stores for some gear, and generally enjoy my headache-less life.

My INAS beeped with a short and flashing message.

COME IN FOR A CHECK-UP AND BRING YOUR FRIENDS WITH YOU.

U.F.

Of course, it had to be Urgon Feyn, who else would contact me here? What’s more, I was sure he had another offer for me. Sure, he’d held to his part of the bargain so far and I was sincerely thankful to him for getting rid of my problem, but when someone like Urgon Feyn offered you something, it was only smart to tread carefully.

“Where are you?” I asked over the squad channel.

“Having a drink with Layla,” Leo replied. “Across the motel.”

“Meet me outside in a minute.”

“Why? What’s up, Sarge?” Layla asked.

“We’ve been called in by Urgon. I guess he wants another favor or something.”

“Another? What do you mean with another?”

“Nothing. Just get your asses out by the time I’m in the lobby.”

We made our way to Urgon’s place in mute silence. The two didn’t ask, and I didn’t tell them anything, as I had no idea what the Takkari wanted anyway. Once we got there, he greeted us like long-lost relatives.

“Technomancer!” Urgon boomed as we entered the back room. “How are you feeling? See, Fog told me there could be some side effects, so I decided to call you in for a check-up. On the house.”

“On the house?”

“Of course! Your friends can check out some of my wares as well if they want. Maybe we can strike a deal. What do you think?”

“Wares?” Layla asked as she looked around, searching for whatever the wares were supposed to be.

“Implants, dear. Chips. Mods. All the good stuff that can boost your combat abilities greatly. We can even add one that will let you have more fun with your boss over here. You two can last longer while doing the kinky stuff, you know?”

Her mouth dropped open and she was about to retort, but I put my hand up and nodded for her to stand with Leo, who looked as if he was about to burst into laughter. As if on cue, Fog appeared from behind a set of curtains.
