Blaze stood with his arms crossed in the sick bay. Trina lay on the bed, Fernando working on her with four arms, reaching for a laser scalpel, administering the anesthesia, using the eyelid spreader, and carefully inserting the micron-thin implants into her eyes.

He wasn’t about to broach the Elle subject with Trina. He wanted to keep it all professional, though the idea of his would-be new squeeze kissing his sister filled him with exponential amounts of anger. But oh well. Business first. Love later.

“So, Trina,” Blaze said, “you can tap behind your ear to bring the system online. But it does work with brainwaves. The implants can tell if you want them on or off, most of the time, and you can scroll through windows and menus by looking and thinking about what you want to see. The double-blink also works. The whole system is really intuitive.”

“This is amazing,” Trina said. “I know we’ve had brainwave technology since the early twenty-first century, but it’s come a long way.”

“The Bug War helped with that,” Blaze said. “A lot of the advances in our technology came from combat applications. Like the nanofiber, the combat display, comms implants, the VHI stats. For those, you’re hooked into our system, so you can see us and our health. Also, when you grab a weapon, the implants will pair with the gun, and you’ll be able to check ammunition and power usage levels.”

“I want a fusion pistol,” she said. “Those things are badass.”

“Sounds good. If you need any help, we can remote into your system and walk you through the menus.”

Fernando hunched over his patient. “Stay still for this next part, Trina. I’m going to make the incision and place the listening and speech component near your inner ear on the right side. While it is closest to your right ear, you will hear us in stereo. I will place another implant near your vocal cords.”

Blaze and Trina stopped talking while Fernando placed the implants and closed the wounds with synthetic skin that matched her skin perfectly.

The eye implants were in place. Blaze saw her VHI blink on in his display. Trina was good to go.

“Fernando,” she said, “I’ve been wondering. Elle has mastered Onyx energy enough to cast really powerful spells. But as a Human, she doesn’t have your Clicker linguistic abilities. So…why…uh…”

Fernando clacked laughter. “Why am I taking so long to learn Onyx speak? I do not believe you are casting aspersions on my intellect, but instead are genuinely curious. Put simply, Human children have exceptional language acquisition abilities that are superior to Meelah and Clickers. Elle studied Onyx while learning English as a small child. I am an adult. Also, from what I understand, Granny’s teaching methods were brutal but very effective.”

“Yeah, Granny and Arlo were both real bad people,” Blaze said. “But keep up your studies. I like the idea of having a backup witch on board.”

Fernando responded. “I believe that while I have no real gender, I would be considered a warlock.
