Doctor Nee followed Vicci DeLarose through her facility on the twentieth floor of R-emergence. The place was gorgeous, immaculately kept and brightly lit. If there was one thing Doctor Nee appreciated, it was sterile environments.

“This is all quite the feat, Vicci. Did you ever think you’d be heading teams like this?” he asked her.

Vicci was slightly older than him, her dark hair cut short, her eyes as intense and focused as ever. She held a tablet at her side and grinned at his comment. “And you aboard Constantine? A Kwant? Talk about breaking down borders.”

Nee glanced at his gloved hands and smiled. “I never intended to be a voice of my people. I only wanted to work on a cruise ship and do my part.”

“From the files you sent, it seems you’ve managed to do more than heal sick people, Nee.” She tapped her tablet and showed a set of graphs to him. “What you’ve done with this” – she looked at Tarlen and kept talking – “Bacal girl is amazing. If what you’re telling me is true, I think I have the solution.”

“You do?” Tarlen blurted.

“Yes, Tarlen. I think I can help fix your sister’s pathways. You see, we do things a little differently here. We’re dealing with creating AIs from memories, much like the Constantine you see on your vessel. It’s a very complicated process, and it took us several decades to perfect.

“Then we’ve also managed to create hosts, like the one your Commander Starling uses. This opens up a lot of opportunities for people around the Concord with disabilities or illness. Of course, at this time, Treena is one of two using the technology.”

“One of two?” Nee asked, curious. “Who’s the other?”

Vicci smiled again, and waved a finger in the air. “That’s confidential, Nee. You wouldn’t expect me to share that, would you?”

“I suppose not.”

Tarlen stopped near a window, where three lab assistants were surrounding a robotic arm as its hand rotated. “But you can help Belna?”

“As I said, we’re doing things differently, but from what I can tell, all you need is a neural link to be installed,” Vicci said.

“Installed?” Tarlen asked.

“Perhaps that’s a poor choice of words. We’ll do a minor surgery on your sister that will connect her brain to her nervous system. The scans suggest that link had been fried by whatever these Statu do to their captives,” Vicci told them.

Doctor Nee had been hoping for something along these lines, and he couldn’t hold in his excitement. He grabbed Vicci, giving her a quick hug, and let her go a second later. “When can we do the surgery?”

Vicci stared at Tarlen. “Why, we can do it now, if you’d like.”
