Orvos eyed the readouts closely. “Does it take into account areas of your body that are organic? Or would you need a doctor for such things as that?” he inquired as he started pushing buttons on the display.

“Well the only cross-over are all my body fluids. That’s why I can actually regulate them to a certain extend, like make myself vomit to get out of a conversation.. something I’d prefer not to have to do again, which is why I’d like you to build in a trigger that gives a signal to all of you, so you can com me and give some pretense that allows me to leave a situation where my cover may be blown. Last night the XO wanted to chat me up in the arboretum and she doesn’t know my real identity yet.
Anyhow. Most of my organs are regrown human tissue, except for my liver, so that would be Dr. S’Raal’s part.” he looked at S’Raal and grinned.

“Yes that means I can theoretically flush out any toxins from my blood stream if I choose to. It works both ways. On the Genesis we were once attacked by kraken-like aliens that attached themselves to our bodies and injected a toxin to kill us slowly. It came in very handy back then.” he said, the memories coming back to his mind.

“What maintains the bio-cybernetic interfaces?” S’Raal asked collecting readings, “I’m assuming the compatibility issues between them come at an elevated cost in power to keep them functioning within normal?”

Julien was silent for a minute, reflecting yet again how strange it was that he was more ok with talking about his android body parts than about his very own genetic abnormality.
“Yeah, you cut right to the chase there. I’m not surprised.” he said. From the little he had already seen, S’Raal was a first-rate physician. He drew a deep breath.
“That’s what makes this whole set-up kind of unique I guess. When I was an embryo I had a genetic defect. My mother, who is a genetic scientist, changed that and while she was at it, quite a bit more in my favour.”
He knew he shouldn’t feel guilty for it, but he had never quite been able to shake it and there was this other thought of not knowing who he would have been without the meddling.
“She upped my IQ, my body ages slower and heals faster. When they found out, after the fighter accident that ripped me apart, they knew I was the perfect subject for their trial run of merging android with human parts. While I was in a koma, they made my mother sign the approval. She had no choice really, as it was clear she had meddled with my genes. The answer is, the bio-cybernetic interfaces don’t really work, but due to my extra genetic make-up they do. They simply heal faster than they break down.” he said.

S’Raal looked at his readings again and his smile returned, “I had kind of figured that out but I wasn’t sure if it was something you wanted revealed”. He looked at a readout and zoomed in to the cellular level, “A pretty efficient solution all up, I was trying to achieve it with the Captain with nanites but this system eliminates the middle man and elevates your own cellular function to a level to match your implants.” He stopped and looked at Julien, “You must be almost perpetually hungry” he said with another smile.

Julien gave him a half smile, not in the least surprised that S’Raal had figured it out so quickly. “I do eat a lot, and I take some supplements twice a day. In emergency situations though I can lower my metabolism though forcibly, almost to a state where I appear uncoscious but am not. I just can’t keep that up for a prolonged time.”

“Useful” S’Raal said nodding briefly as he poured over the readings, “But remind me never to shout you anywhere expensive for dinner”. He started squinting at the data, “You know if we added a few parts in the redundant systems I bet we could introduce some glucose shunts that would tide you over in an emergency…” he paused in his diatribe knowing that Orvos probably had some questions from his side of the fence.

JUlien looked a bit doubtful, but interested. “Redundand systems?” he asked with a half smile. “What would those be?”

The systems you’re running have multiple redundancies so that they don’t overtax your neuron ganglia and dendrites by running charge through one set for too long, they flip from nerve system to nerve system systematically so as to keep heat and wear and tear at a manageable level. Plenty of space left within that system to piggyback some other forms of tech”.

It was at that point that Orvos pulled out a chip. “This, my friend, is a rather unique device I’ve designed so you need not worry about getting a hold of any of us if you need to get called out of a situation. I’ve pre-programmed it with ‘calls’ from various people with multiple requests. Once in your system you will be able to generate these commands through a wireless connection to your combadge.”

Orvos then pulled out two bands with devices on them. He put one on a nearby table and tossed the other to Stark. “I’m not sure if you had anything like that on you as well Stark, so I made you and I each one as well. Only difference is, you and I can wear ours on our person in hidden places, whereas Julien here can hide his own chip conveniently within his own android systems.”

Stark smiled, “I have so many things hidden in my hidden places that I’ll have to start an inventory” he said drily “Or give up one of my favourite knives…” he nodded at Orvos, “My thanks” he finished with his characteristic vicious grin.

He then grinned broadly staring at Julien. “I can install the device if you like right now?” he inquired. Orvos was hoping that his feeling of humor was not radiating in his eyes, but even so, Julien was in for a fun time.

Julien was still holding the device in his hand and staring at it, a strange look on his face. In fact, Julien was trying hard to keep his composure. Maybe Orvos called many people ‘my friend’, but in any case… for some weird reason it touched Julien deeply and he quickly realised it was because he was missing his friends, his senior staff. He looked up at Orvos, his mismatched green eyes eager.

“Thank you, that’s an amazing idea. Yes please install it, while I’m open.” he said, referring to the panel on his arm, even though it had currently a double meaning. “Next time I bump into Karina, I’ll need it I guess.” he added.

“And there’s the first thing we can use those redundancy backups for” S’Raal pronounced, “Plenty of power for a communicator, love it when a plan comes together” he smiled and his golden eyes twinkled merrily.

“Are you two by the way busy for the rest of the evening shift? Or do you have some time to spare. I used to have a hot tub in my quarters, but I’m sure Marishka will have a quiet corner for us and I know she has some good stuff, not only the replicated fare.” he said.
