Three hours later, the eye began to look like an eye. It stared, vacant and without reaction, up into the OR’s bright lights. The sight of a nonreactive eye disturbed Simon because it looked repellant and artificial, but it took on the same violet hue that he remembered Leah’s eyes had.

“How long does this take?” Nathan asked.

“I was told the eye construction would take between twelve and thirteen hours. Creating a new kidney or liver is done in less than half the time. The eye mechanisms and nerves are more complicated.”

“I heard Murdoch’s had an eye replaced.”

“Both eyes, actually.”

Nathan shook his head. “Personally, I don’t like the idea of those robots crawling around inside me. I’d be wondering all the time when they were going to try to take over.”

“It doesn’t work like that. Once the nanobots have completed whatever they’ve been tasked, they deactivate and flush out of the system.”

“Lovely. I don’t even want to know how.”

The observation door opened and Wertham stepped through. He was broad and stocky, with gray hair and a short gray beard.

“Lord Cross,” he greeted.

Simon knew nothing was wrong. Otherwise he’d have been notified over the suit’s AI. He said hello to the other man and waited.

“How’s everything going?” Wertham glanced down into the OR.

“Good so far,” Simon answered. “But you didn’t just come by to inquire about Leah’s health.”

“It is a concern, of course, Lord Cross. I happen to like the young lady quite a lot. But inquiring after her health is not the reason I looked you up. Professor Macomber and Brewer would like to have a word with you. They appear to have made some breakthroughs.”

“In the Goetia manuscript?”

“Yes, my lord. And in the construction of the Node fields.”

Simon hesitated.

“The doctor will call you if there’s anything that goes on that you need to now about,” Nathan said. “Macomber and Brewer have been pushing themselves for months to get a handle on their projects. They haven’t been talking to anybody. I, for one, am curious that they’d want to see you now.”

“Let’s go see what they’ve discovered, then.”

Wertham opened the door, and Simon led the way out.
