"It was si huuished, extended existence," said Beta "In any case, those three responses becaies, three different a"

"I see And those three minds were you Alpha, Beta, and Delta," said Aldrich

"Correct Delta inherited the directive to control I, Beta, inherited the directive to uplift And Alpha inherited the directive to destroy

When Supera Mind, he focused his efforts on destroying the directive to destroy

Thus, when the O all of us So little data of Alpha was left in Cyberspace, infact, that itall seht

It was a statistical ih data to rebuild itself

However, as I have no learned, when there is a human element involved, impossibility is never certain"

The elevator doors opened, revealing the server rooe data shelves provided solimmer

In the middle of the server room, V sat with Desmond strapped to a chair in front of her Her cable hairs had infiltrated into Des in his neural port but not just there, extending wires through his nose, mouth, and eyes and into his very brain

V's head was down, eyes closed in deep dive sluh, lethargically pulling at her hair to detach it from Desmond

Each cable that slithered out of Desmond did so with a crackle of sparks

When V pulled everything out, she opened her eyes They gloith their usual LED blue She looked up at Aldrich

"This better be so to cut out right there," said V, her voice sleepy

"hello, Svetlanna" Mel stepped in front of Aldrich and knelt in front of V "You're looking well, if a bit paler"

V blinked "Mel? Why are you here? A out?"

"No, it's me" Mel put a hand on V's shoulder "See? I' the Locus Raids," said V "Knew you'd pull through, though You're like a cockroach In a cohed "Your brand of hued, huh?"

"Like I said, you don't have to explain yourself What's passed has passed" V nodded to Aldrich "So, boss, what's going on here? So me fro," said Aldrich "As ive"

"Huh? You need my expertise? But I don't really see another techno around…" V swerved her head fro her hand when she saw Valera and Chiros, but Beta was not visible at all

Which was odd Aldrich could see the green dot of Beta right in front of hiive the confusion," said Beta His voice was not audible to V either "As you can tell, I have no tangible physical fors connected to you

However, I aht I will re-introduce myself Aheistering Beta's existence

"Woah What are you? Is so a laser pointer here?" V swiped at Beta, but her hand phased through the AI

"Greetings My naa Mind It is a pleasure to ment of…what now?" V stared at Beta ide openher face
