"I do not know who you are," the AI answered truthfully enough. Having no data about where they'd ended up, she didn't know 'which' Zerna she was talking to. |

"I don't believe you. Do you want me to dig in your brain again?" he held up the device as a warning. |

"If you are not an Imperium clone..." The AI hesitated, unwilling to give away more information than she already had. Clio rolled her eyes. "Of course he's not an Imperium clone, you crazy piece of tin." "I'm not crazy!" the AI immediately protested, almost sounding like she was sulking. |

"Well, I suppose I could fix you up and get that hologram of yours working properly..." he shrugged. |

"No!" the AI responded firmly, as if she had any choice in the matter. But she knew that if he did that, he would know who she was. "I'd never tell you to violate an intelligent being intelligent or not but..." Clio hesitated, sighing a little. "Maybe you should. We might get better information if she's functioning more normally." |

"From the look of this device, who ever had you have not been able to properly giving you maintenance for a few years. I bet all those crossed circets must be annoying, maybe even itchy or painful. Don't you want to feel better? And if I was part of the imperium, would I be able to fix you?" |

"They do hurt," the AI admitted reluctantly. "And she is very kind to me, but she does not know how to repair me. The Imperium would not know either... they would rather destroy me." |

"Alright then. But you have to wait for a little while. There is someone I need to find and I need this body back in working order." he said before he turned to look at Clio. "Did you get anything from the AI to locate her? I am sure you have a few questions for her, I just hope that she doesn't force us to take her by force..." he said with the AI's feelings on the matter in mind. |

"I will wait," the AI agreed, deciding not to protest. "Well..." Clio looked at the hazy hologram for a moment. Something about it was familiar, but she wasn't sure if she was imagining it or not. "If this Blood Queen thinks the Imperium is after her, she'll be hiding. Outside the cities, looking for a way off planet. And I'm pretty sure this AI - whoever she is - knows who you are. And not just a passing familiarity either. She seemed surprised to see you." |

"Agreed. So will you do a search on her as well?" |

"I'll see what I can find. But this woman was in my house undetected... if she can do that, she might be harder to find than you might think." |

"I'll see if I can upgrade the house if I have time after I got this body back in shape." he held the device out to Miss Clio. "Could you put it on the table over there. I think I need to go back to what I was doing if I am going to join the search for Selene." |

"If you don't have time, I understand." Clio took the device in her hands, holding it carefully. "As much as I want to find this woman, I need my agent back. And I'm not going to try to talk you out of it either... just be careful. And for God's sake, take someone responsible with you." |
