: : : : : : : The holographic image nodded respectfully. “I have all information recorded from the encounter between the Black Sparrow’s crew and that of the race of the Kaldonians. Archanon is a member of said species. Archanon has traveled to Oed V in an attempt to apprehend a member of his race.”

: : : : : : Now wasn’t that the question? She was a scientist after all and understanding something unknown was the crux of what she did. In this case what she needed was to understand her own interactions with both Archanon and Leamas and how to interact with them going forward. “Tell me about their cultural mores. What sort of things do the Kaldonians believe are taboo or unthinkable versus the values they hold dear?

: : : : Katrina inclined her head before speaking. “Kaldonians value life at all levels; the independence of the individual; the togetherness of community. Anything taboo or unthinkable would violate one of these three core beliefs.” She then awaited further commentary or questioning.

The exact means of that decision making process is unclear. The only record available to us is the trial of Leamas on Kalidon. His violation was so severe that imprisonment wasn’t enough. Imprisonment and exile was the concluded resolution to his wrong doing.”

: “Katrina? Everything okay?” Ylana asked, wondering if the program was still stable. Meanwhile, what she had just learned fit what she had been told before, so that was good, if still not enough.

The image of Katrina fizzled for a moment as she inclined her head. “It depends on your perspective of ok. My programming was not designed to be long serving. I’m a copy of my original programming. I was given 24 hours of service after being copied before my program deactivates permanently.”

“Do you have any further inquiries?” she asked, unaffected by the fact she would effectively ‘die’ soon.
