Chapter 31: “Pieces” – Part 2.

  Assisting both her friend and unknowing servant, Sylvie refilled Kody’s gss and urged them to keep drinking. “If it isn’t perma, then how are you falling apart and nearly bloodless?” Moreover Sylvie was w what Kody did to resume using the enhas even after they’d said the CPU was damaged. “I figured you wouldn’t use them again after you fed off the eruck stop.” Sylvie muttered a handing Kody more to drink.

  “I’m sorry.” Kody half-growled, “I had to use my leg enhas to out-think the shadewraiths.” Kody forced the video repy on all three sets of their tacts. “Right there.” Kody paused the video. “If not for the fact that cyberics store things, the hematite wouldn’t have spread out far enough to-” Kody stopped talking and their power button eyes began blinking white.

  Having had enough of the ret past, Sylvie had quietly uttered for Kody to stop talking and listen. Taking all of their deaking into her own mind, Sylvie took care of the first order of business. “Kody, remove the tacts you have.” A momehe twin half-metallic discs were in her hand. “Kody, you will fet that you made any tacts and the design is unknown to you.” Sylvie waved Casey over and handed her the first pair. “Kody rest. Sleep.” She waited for her friend to close their eyes before pulling her own tacts out. “Yours too Casey, love.”

  “Aww, I was just beginning to like them.” Casey quipped and pulled off the pstises. “I think I know why you are doing this.” She sauntered up to Sylvie and hugged her from behind. “It’s a relian something other than our own abilities. As good as they are, they make him and us zy.”

  It was as though Sylvie had a breakthrough with her only progeny. A sense of relief poured through her senses as she nodded and turned in Casey’s arms. “Right. Exactly right.” She sighed, “Look at what both magid teology have brought us to.” I on having Casey destroy the little discs, Sylvie paused right after she handed over her tacts. “Casey sweetheart, use these lenses o time and pull all the information off them.” With a half twist, Sylvie smiled and then kissed Casey on the cheek. “Be sure to save everything owilight Tonight ste or whatever it's called.”

  “Yeah, I get it babe.” Casey nuzzled Sylvie’s neck. “I have to do all this work? It will take me forever to get all of the stuff off of Kody’s pair alone.” She ughed as she synized the first set with her phone and the Twilight Tonight cloud. “What are we going to do with Kody? They look fine and the blood is regeing their bht now.” She slipped her hands along Sylvie’s side and down to her waist, “We will need something to get into that hill.”

  With another quick kiss and a wink of her half-moon eyes, Sylvie poured more blood down Kody’s throat. “Kody. Your future designs will not hover around making vampire’s unlives easier. Find anle. If our basiature will work without your iion just leave it as a blueprint, Uand?” Within a sed of the question Sylvie smiled and wi Casey when Kody heir head with the given and. “Okay Kody, you wake up now and we will finish discussing cyberics.”

  Instantly opening their green glowing power button eyes, Kody looked around the room as though they were a little lost. “Sorry about that Sylvie, I seem to doze off at the straimes around you…odd since I don’t require sleep.” Kody shrugged and poio their legs which were still falling apart. “I hadn’t po use them at the same time.” Kody finally sat up and held out the gss for more blood. “I quickly calcuted that I could get here by using a blend of both.”

  “I sense a problem ing up, Kody.” Sylvie ughed and joined Kody in another helping of blood, although she was more than tent. “I mean half blood use is still quite a bit.”

  “It wasn’t that, Sylvie.” Kody closed their eyes and flopped ba the lounge. “It was that I fot about Rid.” They held up their hand, “I know, it's the only battlezoher than the portal.” Kody finished off anss of blood and began pulling the cyberics off of his legs. “I am still not one hundred pert sure why I turned around, I was following the highway northwest and nded.” They stood up and shook off more of the parts and pulled out the more intricate wiring and small circuits. “I ended up in that parking lot…” Kody turned back to Sylvie and looked at her questioningly, “...and khat was still needed, even though I know Lueeds me too.” Kody scratched their messy hair.

  “You just missed us.” Casey spoke up, “The jacuzzi is ready Kody, if you want to soak in it.” Casey walked over and hahem a towel.

  While Kody got undressed, Sylvie walked over and began pulling little pieces of the geniuses' robotics from their vampire form. Internally, she had to admit that on the surface the idea of the first real cyberic vampire sounded like a perfebination of present and past. Blending of advanced hydraulics, puter and grapheype skeletons that could do above and beyond what a human could do was nothing short of a teological miracle.

  Many iions throughout history had a devastating effe the world around them, and in some instahe world adapted and things moved forward. Sylvie khat the supernatural world of vampires and their ghostly brethren or even magic-users didn’t have that same adaptation, and as a result of thoughts and as without sidering the sequehey’d ended up with a portal that o be destroyed, access to other worlds, Inner darknesses in the form of Shadewraiths and now the burning of a city. “Kody, I know this will be hard to fathom.” Sylvie quietly offered while she pulled a small circuit from Kody’s temple. “This simply isn’t w, my friend.” She shook her head, “It also is pletely unnecessary.”

  “What do you mean, Sylvie?” Kody huffed and curled their fio remove the small bits of hardened metal from their hands. “This is potentially the best thing that humanity could ask for. Short of the idea of nanocircuits, this stuff is amazing.” Kody ughed, “Imagine never breaking a bone again. sider things like repg eyes for the blind, oing blind without having to harvest the ea?” Kody pulled a loh of silver wire from their shoulder, “What about rept hearing? Walking without spring-loaded legs?” They ughed, “All with just a small infusion to your nerves…and that is the practical right now. What about a voice for the mute? All possible.”

  Logically Sylvie khat Kody was certainly on par with all of the things their current iions could be programmed to do, but they were only fit for vampires and their unique blood. There were other things to sider as well, and Sylvie started listing them off for her friend. “Kody. You repce vision, hearing, and body parts. What are the side effects? What the items be programmed with? Night-vision or seeing other spectrums?” Watg as Kody nodded and their eyes went live with more possibilities, Sylvie held up her hand. “What happens when they detect us? Vampires. The veil is gone and they know we are hunting them.” Sylvie sighed, “Humanity is nothing if not resilient. We couldn’t scour six billion people before they turhe tide.”
