With three robots, under Denis’s supervision, Derec quickly got the lab up and assembled Thales and reconnected all the memory nodes. He hesi­tated, hands poised above the main console, relishing the next few moments. On a diagnostics table behind him stretched the inanimate hulk of Bogard. Derec wanted to acknowledge to himself, to his surroundings, to his memory, to everything he had been through in the past eighteen months, that this was no illusion. That he was awake and about to recover most of what he had been deprived of since life on Earth became untenable for him.

He let his right hand fall, one finger touching the contact that prompted—

“Hello, Derec,” Thales said. “Are we operational now?”

“Check it out. Run diagnostics.”

A few seconds later, Thales came back, “Full capacity memory access. All systems optimal. I am online and at your service. What shall I do first?”

“Explore our accommodations, access Eos City services and find out what I need to know to live here, then . . . I guess we can go back to work on Bogard.”

“Working. Give me a few seconds while I connect to the Eos RI grid.”

A chime sounded. Derec looked around.

“You have a guest,” Thales said.

“I’ll get back to you.”

Derec hurried to his door. Clin Craym smiled as he opened it.
