Rent-free, all-inclusive, and we'll show you the sights to boot. But we would like your help in the future. What do you think? Any preferences?" He asked with a smile.[/quote] [color=00ff66]"Help?" Niner's head jerked up.[/color] [color=00ff66]"Yes, help. I can help. How can I help you?"[/color] Her face stayed bland but there was a hint of eagerness in her voice. The terminal was locked down, she needed access to the wire. She needed to do [i]something....[/i] So many lost clock cycles.... [color=00ff66]"I have no preferences,"[/color] she added. [color=00ff66]"I am willing to do anything to assist. Please state assignment parameters?"[/color] There was a shifting in his face. Her frown did not appear on her own. Was she wrong? Did he mean something else? It was frustfrating to communicate this way! Was it the file? What didn't she understand about the file? Why would she need access to Mother's memories? Where was Mother right now? Was she still in Rio de Janeiro? She'd been unable to check on her since the disconnect. If only she could reach out to the Brain, the other cells would know.
