It was… well, it was something. And it was more than she had before. It wouldn’t make her more ‘real to other people, but how she felt about herself would change, or at least improve. “What sort of timeframe would we be looking at here? I mean, are we talking weeks, months, years?” She needed that important bit of info in order to make an informed decision. And it determined whether she waited for this new option or still had them install the advanced emitters in her quarters.

“Well… we will need to do find a way to do a full body scan of you. Ironically, I can’t find what makes you… well you… in our computers. It’s not like I found as file that just says ‘Cori’s holographic dimensions.’ which would have been nice if Lilly had, done that… or if she had ever done anything for that matter… but as it stands that will then be used to fabricate you… which sounds odd out loud.” he said as he tilted his head as he thought about the idea.

“I say, 2-3 weeks for farbication and another 1-2 weeks for testing, 3-5 total and we can give a few dry runs… it could though be up to 5-8 weeks before we can completly remove all safetys. I want to make certain things are working perfectly first before we just let you run off on shore leave with your new sea legs.”

A couple months. Okay then! She inhaled deeply, filling lungs that circulated no air. She exhaled loudly. “Well, we can make one thing easier. We have transporter records. That will give you my physical parameters, as would any of my physicals. Well, I suppose there was only one before this all went down, but that should be easy enough, right?” Cori truly wanted to believe this could happen for her but it seemed too good to be true and she wasn’t sure she could fully invest herself in this project. For the time being it was safer for her mental state if she simply detached herself from it for the time being. Later, well, that would be different.

“That could work, and theoretically you can adjust as you see fit… if you ever wanted to change something about yourself… I guess this is your version of cosmetic surgery in some ways. How you see yourself, is the most important process to this all. I want you to feel like it’s you, like a home you can get into and not feel unease.” Alindor said, he knew how much this was important to her, more than anyone else on the ship most likely. Their relationship came to an end, but he did care in his own way for the woman in front of him. He certainly didn’t want her to feel like this wasn’t something that was hers.

Much like she had when she first realized that she could change her appearance to absolutely anything she wanted, Cori felt it was unnecessary. So she shook her head. “No, I like how I look. Though… maybe we could extrapolate a tiny bit of aging? I mean, it’s been ten years now. I can’t imagine I would have changed all that much, but I think the details will matter here in how people perceive me. Everything else could be the same.”

~Corinne Dalton

“I can age you… yes… though I thought you might like the forever young look… but, I understand why you wouldn’t.” Jacen said with a small smile. “We can run some simulations, and if you want you pick the one you feel would match you closest for 10 years.”

Tilting her head slightly upwards and to the side, Cori smirked. “Huh. Not everyday you get to pick the best visual representation of yourself. Though I guess I do that everyday anyway.” She exhaled. “Alright, so I guess I will leave that physical build stuff to you and when you need my input, let me know.”

“Think of it as plastic surgery… in this cause titanium and duranium lined surgery. It’s all the rage in Borg fashion.” Jarred said with a snarky smirk as he looked over the details on the screen as he nodded more.

She gave him a skeptical look. “Not sure we should joke about that given the current ban…” Cori said dryly. No matter what they would be tiptoeing along a line and hoping that no one objected. In this case it might be better to ask forgiveness than permission?

She chewed on her lower lip for a moment. “But uh, just as a thought… you might want to let your girlfriend know you’re building your ex a body. I don’t want to get accused of, well, anything improper.” Regardless of his skills, it was a decidedly intimate thing he was doing and she was okay with it because he knew her. But still, that didn’t make this easy. For either of them.

~Corinne Dalton

“I don’t really see that as a problem, this is in many ways like a medical procedure, if Kalani is going to get angry for me doing my job to help a fellow crewmember then we have a lot to talk about. Besides, I am pretty sure she knows I remember what you look like in the buff… and you are still my friend, I would help even if we didn’t have a romantic past.” Jarred said, not really seeing why she thought Kalani would be upset. It was nothing more than a doctor working on a patient in many ways, and sexuality was part of life.

Cori was quiet for a moment. “That might be what makes sense on your head, Jarred, but people are complicated and feelings aren’t always rational. I’m asking you to not make this more difficult for me but at least running it past her before this project starts. So later I’m not accused of anything and you aren’t in trouble for a lack of disclosure. Conssider it saving your own ass, if that helps.”

“I also know Lani, it isn’t about feeling if you know someone. I am not gonna hide things I have to do as I tell her everything but if you think she would care about how we do this then you need to get to know her better.” Jarred said with a slight annoyed feeling. He knew Lani better than almost anyone, and to think she would be jealous was a stretch. He knew Cori though also, she was always worried about perceptions against her and how people would judge her. She had eyes on her at all time. That made for a nervous and cautious feeling.

“You need to just worry about me getting this to work I will get the rest settled… I never failed a task and I won’t make promises but this will be a something I will get everything settled on” Jarred said as he tried to give a sense of optimism for her. He couldn’t make promises but he was going to do everything to make things work.
