You seek knowledge

The added brain power of Gloss is comforting. However, you quickly realize you want more, more than the paltry fifty five minds left on this station.

You could simply wait, but you have a better idea. You make your way through the corridors toward Canice Trevor. If anyone on this station is here unfairly it might be her. Her bio is a bit unique. She was a top starship engineer. Her crime, testing ships she designed and their crews by sabotage. Her first **** killed seventy two people. She was caught. Rather than completely erase her and give her a new identity, they deemed her too valuable and did a partial erasure. A year later she killed eleven people. After that they did a more thorough partial erasure. In less than a year she was back sabotaging starships. The Confederacy was willing to allow it due to her value, that is until The Pluto Incident. She sabotaged a luxury starship with some of the Confederacies most wealthy and influential people on board. Three hundred dead and lost in space. Now she is here.

You come up to here cell. You switch off the **** shield.

Canice looks up. "Who are you?" She looks more closely at you and Gloss. "What are you?"

You open the cell door, smile and say, "I'm here for you."

She stands. "I'm not afraid of you."

You laugh. "Perhaps you should be."

You take a stride toward her, extend your middle finger, and unleash a filament.

It strikes Canice dead on in the forehead. Her eyes go wide and her mouth opens to scream and simply freezes. The knowledge and personality of Canice flows into you.

With a last burst of will, she closes her eyes. You open them and stare at yourselves. The three of you smile in unison. Her knowledge and brain is an impressive addition.
