Data

Scott kept his hand in Hope's, and just closed his eyes again for a few silent moments until he shook his head. "He'll just talk to me eventually," he responded softly. 

He opened his eyes again and blinked. The world was... different. He was seeing things as if looking through a completely different lense. He knew it was his mind's eye and not literal, but it was as if he were looking through a scope that zeroed in on anything he focused on, so it could be analyzed. Even Hope's face. And immediately he saw streaming data. 

Sucking in his breath, he shook his head a little again, ridding his view of the imagery. Was that...the upgrade? He was almost scared to find out. 

"Um..." He searched Hope's worried face, and was just as sorry as he always was. Why hadn't he just died like he'd hoped? "Is... Is Garret okay? He didn't get in trouble did he?"


"Rick?" Reese stuck his head in the infirmary. "JT just called. Scott's awake."

Rick got to his feet immediately and grabbed his keys before looking to Misty. "I'm going to see him. If you need anything, call my cell." He followed Reese out the door with a nod. "I'll follow you there."

Reese led the way out onto the main floor and stopped by Sapphire's cubicle. "Your brother just woke up."

Garret's head snapped up. Scott was awake? What kind of shape was he in? Was he talking yet? Would he tell the truth? Had the upgrade worked or been a failure?

Reese saw all the questions on his face but shook his head. "Stay put," he directed. "I wanna talk to him first."

All Garret could do was nod before looking over to Sapphire. He did hope Scott was okay for her sake. 


"I dunno..." Kirk folded his arms and looked around the large open room. "There's a lot of space but... something just doesn't feel quite right."

He turned and scanned the entire place again. It was a large open floor, by only two office spaces. It was two levels, which wasn't bad, although the stairs needed some work. There was a lot of square footage but...It didn't feel like much elbow room.

Kirk glanced at Adison. "I think we need something a bit more modernized. Wonder how much we could squeeze out of the FBI for a building upgrade."
