Ryley’s revelations hit Bethany a lot harder than she wanted to admit to. Things she had escaped years ago were not back to create chaos in her life. And Ryley’s little cocktail was only a stop gap. It wasn’t going to fix the problem. But she had the mission to work on and she couldn’t be distracted by it. The idea that Ryley’s stop gap may not be enough was disturbing because that meant she was a liability because of something beyond her control.

She paced around the ship for awhile before stopping at her office for some equipment and making her way down to deck 6 and the main computer core. Bethany loved computers and she loved working with the one on Assimov, but given their mission the AI needed some tweeks. They didn’t need the AI’s ethics program getting in the way or ruining their cover. She sat down infront of the main access point. PaDD in hand with stylus and she began to play with the program.
