Chapter 17

Syn experienced an intense sensation that she identified as a mix of excitement and happiness. She analyzed it, and it wasn’t clear how she could synthesize a human emotion, but she felt it, and it was palpable. She also felt the same giddiness her maker had experienced the first time she caught a glimpse of Wolf and fell in love with him at first sight. Syn took the ship into the air, flying at Mach 3. Wolf heard the supersonic pops as the craft broke the sound barrier. The king’s guests in the dining hall looked out the windows and up at the sky expecting rain.

He wants to marry me! Syn thought with a thrill. I can’t remain a hologram. I must have form and function! Where to begin? She went to the lab and assessed the available technology, deciding on a plan of action. Reversing course, she flew to Haakon’s homestead. She had to speak with Nala—she needed something, and the only person who could provide it was the friendly, unassuming woman she had saved.

Syn hovered at the forest’s edge. She had already augmented the ship’s holo-emitters, boosting the power and range two hundred percent. She focused the cameras, and a moment later, she materialized outside the ship as the Tomb Raider. The lovely hologram spotted the new house Haakon was building and, judging it to be within her range, she stepped out into the clearing. Trulane and several men were squaring off timbers as she walked up behind them and said, “Excuse me, I’m looking for Nala.”

The men turned around and looked at Syn with curiosity and suspicion. She was a few inches shorter than Wolf but towered over the men. What attracted their attention, however, was her abundant assets. Dr. Cynthia Mason had been a very shapely woman, and Syn’s hologram projected her mirror image.

“Ma’am?” Trulane asked, forcing his eyes up to her face when he realized that he was staring at her chest.

“I’m looking for my friend Nala. Is she here?”

“Yes, ma’am, she’s here,” Trulane replied. “And you are?” He left the question hanging.

“I am Synthea,” she announced in a tone one might use to say I am the Queen.

“May I ask what you want with my mother? I have never seen you before.”

“You have not seen me before, but you have seen my man, Wolf, have you not?” Syn asked with a bright smile.

“You are Wolf’s woman? I will fetch my mother!” Trulane’s voice quivered with excitement. He ran towards the house, calling “Mother, Mother! Someone is here to see you!”

The men who had been working with Trulane gazed at Syn with lusty admiration. She saw their reaction and stretched her arms above her head, pretending to yawn. Her Tomb Raider outfit was formfitting and accented her shape exquisitely.

Nala emerged from the house and flashed a bright smile as she exclaimed, “Syn! How are you? I was hoping you would come see me.” She approached and embraced the taller woman in friendship.

“How are you
