He said he was going to examine them when they finished. That’s going to get someone hurt.
Kynor looked at the doc. “You said you would extract and examine the nanites? She’s worried about that.”
“They are experimental genetic restoration bots. Knowing what we know now, we will set them to destruct in a slow cascade that should not hurt her, but it will set her back to standard physical shape for her DNA.”
Kynor smiled softly. “That will be interesting. We have had several makeovers in our time.”
“Is that when...”
Kynor nodded. “It is. Not pleasant but effective if you need to change your face fast. If I remember, she looked like a pixie.”
“Right. I swear that none of her biologicals will leave this lab. The nanites will report and then destroy themselves when the repairs are complete. Her spinal column is badly damaged, so please, get her to accept the repair.”
Kynor looked at her. “I know you heard that.”
She shrugged and looked into the distance. Her movements were slow, but she was broken pieces held together by skin.
He pressed his head against the tube.Please, Kyda, I am begging. Let them repair you.
Isn’t this the universe telling me just to let go?Her bright eyes looked at him.
If it is, why did you get them to bring you here?
I panicked.She closed her eyes.I am dangerous. Hated. Feared. It is very tiring. I just want to rest.
No rest for you. I thought you had a part-time job aside from the café. Don’t you think your friends will miss you?
She turned a warm grey.Oh, that. They can get along without me. Pretty sure.
Where were you working?
She didn’t reply.
Well, where were you working? I know you have been sending money to the Uraddan refugee funds.
Never mind.
He blinked.You tell me everything unless it involves your love life.
Her eyes widened, and her pale cheeks pinked as she looked away.
Oh. My. God. You are working with the BDC.
No. Yes. Just one patron who just wants to go on normal-person dates. I am sure there is another escort out there who wouldn’t mind an easier date.She paused.Can the doctor stop the effect from being transmitted?
Kynor leaned back. “Can you stop the pathogen from leaving her body or nullify it on her skin?”
Kritz blinked. “Huh. I think so. We will put in some programming to basically deal with the pathogen. We might be able to get it to work, but we need to find out where it originates, and from there, we will have a better time of it.”
“All major organs that have to do with blood and all glands involving pheromones. So, basically, everything.”
Kritz nodded. “Right. So, this is going to take some effort.”
Kynor smiled. “If she has to put effort into remaining alive, you can do the same to keep her from wiping out the active population.”
“What does her blood do?”
Kynor shrugged. “It deactivates an active.”
