The blood crimson glow from Joss' smart phone reflected off her bulging eyes and dropped jaw. The phone had an outline of Renko's body on its screen, with the damaged parts flashing red, and that was all of them.

"Unhook her?" Joss asked responding to Liir's question. "I ain't even sure how she's still alive! She's got the virus and then some. Her fever's off tha charts, her organs are a wreck, and her mind is workin but..."

Joss' mind was turning too fast and too hard to finish her sentence.Just looking at Renko made her feel feverish and sick. Her eyes darted from Renko to the machine, then back to her smart phone, then finally to her own thoughts. She squirmed as she tried to think. She gasped. An idea, though she knew it wasn't great.

"I need a sec to figure out tha machine she's hooked up ta to know how ta unhook her, but Liir yer takin a medicine to treat the virus ain't ya? I can't make no promises but if ya can give some up it might help her."

Joss turned to the machine that the tubes came out of. It gave her slight comfort, for even with this tech she felt at home.

"I gonna do ma best with this, but in the mean time our only real hope is ta catch Sinister, and get everythang we need to know from him!"

It was at that second that Sinister fled, and robots entered the scene.

"dang it!"
