Sure. 

A week goes by.

He works on magic projects.

If I do manage to jailbreak Dragon and she does not be evil after that she gets the artifact making shiny, right?

Yeah that's the idea. And we pump out eidetic memories and skipping sleep and better reflexes and once I've got it something like your opacity and something like Alexandria's invulnerability and figure out how to take the Endbringers.

And then the Simurgh attacks.

Lorica goes.

He stays. Watches television, does not get much done.

Rete notifies him when she gets back. Injured, alive.

Injured how?

Rete says she'll be laid up for just a couple weeks with the help of pharmaceutical tinker Miracle Max.

What happened?

Rete doesn't know. She's been resting a lot and hasn't cleaned up the data from the onboard memory she brought with her, so it hasn't integrated it.

Okay. He works. He writes her after a few days. 

Congratulations on not dying again.

thanks

You okay?

max has me on something green and floaty!!!

Okay.

Are people allowed to visit?

if the protectorate still likes you probably

have my helmet on most of the time anyway so I dont have to type

love my bot <33333

He has no idea if the Protectorate likes him but he asks.

The Protectorate has no opinion on him personally but he can visit Lorica if he shows up in Brockton Bay.

He shows up in Brockton Bay.

A Rete bot greets him at the station.

"Hi. Lorica is kind of incoherent, I wanted to see her."

It bobs in the air. "This way. The painkillers are very good and won't cause withdrawal but do make her slightly loopy. I didn't correct her emails so you wouldn't be surprised."

He follows.
