"I'm not surprised. Before they left, Jhu mentioned that one of her gun designs had been stolen. The shotguns probably were too." She paused in what she was doing, watching Murphy as he slowly crept forward to inspect the other dog. "Murphy." Murphy stopped and looked at her. "Don't chase him. He's not ready to play." Murphy wagged his tail and simply walked over to sniff the puppy and nudge it with his nose. "Maybe Pup can keep Murphy busy in the mornings then. Because I don't feel like playing fetch for an hour before work lately... which is why the little brat destroyed one of my jackets. Should have beat his furry little butt for it, but he gave me that look like I'd kicked him."

"Alright. I think I can have a emiter placed on top of the house. Should be a good range on it too. If the lady of the house approves of course." Zerna answered Clio first before turning to the AI with a face that showed a slight increase of pain. "Sure. Would be better if she got here though, to be honest I rather stick around here for a little bit. This young lady is kind enough to let me use her as a comfortable pillow." as he said that, he felt and heared the female purred loudly. "I guess she agrees."

"An emitter on top of the house is fine... that should cover most of the property. Might cut off the corners, but we can put supplemental emitters anywhere the main one doesn't work." The pellet she was trying to free slipped out of the tweezers, sliding back through the incision just before it sealed. "Crap. These things are slippery."

Zerna tried to keep a straight face, but the pellet had actually landed straight on a sensetive nerve cluster and he cried out in utter pain.

Miki crouched down and solidified her fingers enough to hold the incision open, while at the same time the area. "Try again." she said with a smile. "I'll be remaining here for a while, they were going to leave an Iris but I'm a slightly more mature system and... it was thought that having one of me around would make it easier for you. At least until your Aglaia is operational." she blushed slightly. "And I'm quite intrigued by your work Jernal, after what you did for my mother's LMD. It's... rare to find people so accepting of artificial life that don't treat us like toasters."

Clio winced sympathetically, hoping the cave cats sitting around them weren't going to decide she was hurting him on purpose. "I'm sorry... it slipped... this is why I'm not a doctor." With the pellet now dug deeper than it had been before, she had to work to get it free, even with MIKI's help. "Thanks," she said quietly, dropping the pellet in with the others. They'd only gotten four of them so far.

"I practicly raised Aglaia from the moment she was activated. I was asked by the woman who her neural net was maped after to take good care of her. So I see her very much like my daughter and I treat her as such. She even calles me father. I have learned a lot from her and I don't see AI's as property, they are a species of their own." he tried to disconnect the pain mentally but it didn't completely work. "I haven't heard what she thought of the upgrade, I don't even know what she thought of how I treated the LMD."

"I think in the future Mr. Jernal needs to stop letting himself get shot..." Miki said dryly. "Or use a holographic double." she giggled slightly. "Well... after you upgraded her, she... had intimate relations with a man and actually she based Iris off of what a projection of what her child with that man would look like. So it's safe to say she likes her new body quite a bit."

"Iris?" he asked calmly. "Another AI?" he sighed, he was happy that she was enjoying the new spectrum of advanced tectile sensation.

"Yes, I'm technically designed for Military Intel, the Military Intelligence Kinetic Interface, but IRIS is the Intelligence version of my system, a sister if you will... but very much Becki's daughter. Angel and Jena developed some of my system, but technically... Becki created new life because of you." Miki said with a smile. "She uses that body you upgraded for her quite a bit now, hardly uses her other LMD bodies, at least until she can figure out what you did to upgrade the others."

"What she said." Dropping the pellet she'd just freed, she set the tweezers and the scalpel down. "I need to stop for a minute... my hands are shaking."

"You're almost done." Miki said as she scanned the site. "Are you sure you were never a medic? I believe Dr. Girabaldi would be proud."

He actually blushed at the surprisingly high praise that Becki was giving him through Miki. "Oh, well... I think I'll hold on to that secret, maybe I can get to be involved in some of her projects at times..." he stopped himself and thought that it probably sounded like he wanted to steal her stuff. "That came out wrong, I want to co-oporate with her more... Not steal anything..."

Clio shook her head. "This is just the first bunch... there's another bunch on his side. I do have some field medic training, but that was thirty years ago. I've never really used it. At least, not until I met him." She snickered a little, picking up the tools and trying to steady her hands again. "I can carve a man to pieces in the middle of a battle, but trying to patch people up afterward... not something I'm good at."

"I have faith in you Miss Clio." he said and smiled at her, hoping his words would give her confidence and remove what he suspected was nervousness, hence the shaking hands.
