Home Again

[Cece Ryder]

"Aww... we have to fix RomRom... good thing I have my fix it kit." Cece tapped her bracelet and a small case and terminal appeared and looked at Selene. "Our's thought she couldn't, found that Jackson implanted something in her, wouldn't let her carry to term until Noonian fixed it, although our Lucius really didn't care for her to ever get pregnant either. "

“My father didn’t care for it.” Selene said and shrugged her shoulders. “I guess while you guys are look at RomRom Clint can give me a tour.”

[Cece Ryder]

"That sounds like a great idea." Cece said with a smirk as she saw Clint's face. "I'm pretty sure he's got a couple of rooms in mind."

"Shhhh." Clint put his finger to his lips.

"Well I can keep Kaitlyn busy with me for ohhh at least an hour." Cece glanced at James. "You and MC didn't reprogram her again and that's why she's buggy? I mean, you can tell me. When I was younger I had her program put into a clock radio..."

"We didn't touch her. Besides, ever since that incident, her program is so tightly locked down that only someone like Jack or Kinsey or Alice or Nick could really get into it. Y'know, someone high level. Like mom. Or you." James replied.

"Hmm... that would explain why this version of her running is from an almost month old back up." Cece glanced at the diagnostic display on her mini terminal. "She should be backed up daily, even multiple times a day. So this happened while you two were away? You didn't notice anything weird with her before you left did you?"

[Liara]

“No she was fine.” Selene said as she helped collect the empty bowls and put them in the sink.

[Cece Ryder]

Cece hummed as she went through the diagnostic. "So what would have happened in a long weekend?"

"A shuttle crashed into Alice and Nick's place..." James shrugged. "That's the only 'big' thing I can think of, maybe Nick Ryder built something into her?"

"Well that's interesting... but I don't see his coding." Cece replied as she looked into the actual code. "I AM seeing mom and Selene's, they liked using a couple of lines in their coding that I recognize"

[Liara]

"Anything about Windfall?" Selene inquired.

[Cece Ryder]

"Hmm..." Cece hummed as she dug a bit more into the code. "I do see that. It was developed by... you. Or rather your counterpart and my mother." she scratched her head. "But why would the protocols be activated?" she glanced at James. "Did you say that only someone like Selene or my mom or Jack or Alice or Nick could get into Rommie's program? Since mom and dad aren't even in the quadrant anymore and Selene's been dead. Had to have been Alice, since Nick wouldn't wipe three months out. But why?"

[Liara]

"Don't know. See if maybe you can recover a newer backup." Selene offered as she took Clint's hand. "Clint that tour."

[Cece Ryder]

"I think that may be my next step, there's nothing else about the 'why'." Cece said and glanced at Kaitlyn. "Can you go get me a bottle of water and a shaker of salt?" she pulled out a small chip from the tool kit. "Going to try something."

"In the meantime..." Clint took Selene's hand and guided her upstairs. "Wait until you see the observatory..."

[Liara]

“Observatory?” Selene inquired.
