“As distracting as strong emotion would be I would not consider them a defect,” Nevin replied, “But in their pursuit of perfection, I guess the borg would consider the unpredictability of emotion to be imperfect. Please tell me it is the code you’ve got rid of, not your emotions.”

“I deleted the code. Unlike the Borg, I enjoy my emotions, they separate me from the machine and I still have use for them. I’m not sure if life would be worth anything without the ability to feel them.” Reira stated quickly. “Strong emotions can have positive effects, injustice can lead to action that causes change for the better.” He offered, sitting down.

“You speak with a wisdom that is beyond your years,” Nevin said, “Sometimes you don’t see the positive effect of emotions until they are gone. Love, for example. It’s a strong one that is so easily lost.”

“Thank you very much…” Reira nodded, quite happy at the compliment. “Yes, I’m aware… I really miss John. He saw me as a person, not as a Drone or a talking, walking computer bank.” He smiled, reminiscing.

“Hmm,” Nevin said remembering his time at the Academy, “John is a double of Marcus & James - That’s John’s father & uncle. They used to be kind, honest, caring and very impulsive. That impulsiveness led them to sometimes make mistakes, much like John has, but you know, who hasn’t made any?”

“If you & John are in love the same way that James & I used to be, then even the stars can’t keep you apart,” he said smiling as he remembered the good times of their relationship, “The mistake we made was serving together. A conflict of interest between our mission and our relationship led to the failure of both.”

“I know who they are… Never met Marcus but I did encounter James, he made us look for supposed Reman Imps. Clever little cover story, he also helped out with resisting my abusive psychopathic father. Leo Akaba, if you’ve heard of him.” Reira explained, not trusting James McHarrie but the revelation he and Nevin were in a relationship explained what happened to their mission, he’d need to tell Peter and Kara. “Small universe, huh?” He laughed a little.

“The USS Joshua’s mission brought him here?” Nevin asked now thinking that Akaba was Section 31. In Nevin’s mind it made sense. It wasn’t uncommon for Section 31 to recruit within families. Family loyalties were strong bonds and when there was tension between family members it meant that the recruits were often cold enough to get even the worst of jobs done.

“John did the reverse. He was there for me when I needed it most and I have hope he’ll return to me someday.” The ex-Drone stated fondly. “He made sure I ate properly instead of giving in to my sugar junkie urges. I wonder what he’d think of me now, if he’d be disappointed.”

“You should talk with him,” Nevin said honestly, “And in the meantime if you need some to help make sure you eat properly, I won’t go squaking to a doctor, you only need to ask. My door is open. Don’t forget that.”
