“Hey space pod thing...” Julia complained. “Can you fix this mess?”
[[ Anomaly Detected ... Joint stimulation interfered with programmed reversions ]]
“Yea... That’s great... Can you split us up?”
[[ Genetic parameters set ... Exposure complete ... Stimulate when ready ]]
Julia breathed a sigh of relief and put back on the robe she had dropped, though she made sure to keep Frank's head out this time around.
“We seriously have to ‘stimulate’ again?” She complained, pulling the sash around their waist.
“That’s how it works...” Kara shrugged. “You can hang out here if you want, or head back to Frank’s apartment... Makes no difference to me, I’m just gonna watch the news for a bit.”
“Wait... Where’s Beth?” Julia asked, realizing that Kara was alone. “And Henry...”
“Henry went home.” Kara explained. “Said he’d drop Beth off on the way.”
“Huh.” Julia took a seat on the couch. “I guess that’s good... I’d never hear the end of it if he saw me like this... Don’t you dare tell him!”
“Your secrets safe with me...” Kara laughed. “How’s Frank doing? Kind of looks like he’s just along for the ride...”
“It’s just the opposite, actually. He controls the legs.” Julia explained.
Kara picked up 137 and looked it over. It was still warm but very dull following that most recent request. Was it about to run out of power? They had used it quite a bit since she and Henry found it...
“137... Are you alright?” She asked. "You're looking a bit dim."
