Home Again

[Cece Ryder]

"You two have fun." Cece said with a slight smirk. "I'll work on Rommie and keep the kids company." she nudged Selene's arm and whispered. "I think you two may be... busy for a little while."

Walking downstairs she smiled and shook her head and thought 'some things never change.' Sitting back at the dining room table where she was working before, she put the isolinear chip in a cup with the salt and water and connected a lead to it. "Let's see if that old hack works..." she muttered and looked at Kaitlyn. "You've gotten so big since I last saw you, can actually reach the sink faucets now."

"So what ARE you trying to do?" James crossed his arms as he leaned in the doorway.

"Trying to get the chip to be open to a full reprogram, I'm going to use it to get Rommie back to a newer version of herself, it's just a large transfer so the salt water reacts with the circuitry, much like bioneural gel packs do. It'll damage the chip, but it should work long enough to do what we need it to do." Cece explained. "It's an old trick we used when we had to repair EMP damaged systems in my past." she wrote to the chip and then took it out of the water and plugged it into one of the wall panels that had access to Rommie's system. "Alright... let's see what... ahah... in the daily backups... I'll lose it from the time Windfall was activated but I should be able to..." she slid her fingers over the panel and set up a couple of things and then... "That should do it. House. Activate Rommie."

[Rommie]

“I thought you were dead?” Rommie said crossing her arms and eyeing Cece. She glanced around looking from James to Kaitlyn and back to Cece. “And I thought you two were staying with Bella.”

“RomRom better?” Kaitlyn asked Cece.

[Cece Ryder]

"We'll see... " Cece replied and looked at Rommie. "Well, like my mother, reports of our demise have been greatly exaggerated. May as well have been, but... for the moment, the Windfall protocol was activated, you were reset back to a back up from like 3 months ago. I tried to load a back up from before the protocol was active. Did... you see Alice?"

[Rommie]

“If Windfall was activated then something happened. You shouldn’t have tried to restore me.” Rommie said sounding annoyed. “I may know something vital. Oh Carly I know you were trying to help but Selene told me what would happen when she wrote the program.”

[Cece Ryder]

"Well, you were thinking she was still alive, three months back is awfully long. Although you're only restored up until a day or so before." Cece put her hands on her hips. "Well, then you'll just have to keep anything you do know secret."

[Rommie]

“I intend to.” Rommie said as she looked down at the kids. “I keep my promises.”

[Liara]

“I don’t think you really brought me here to look at stars.” Selene said as Clint closed the door to the Observatory. “Though this is an amazing setup you have.”

[Clint Cross]

"Thanks... always thought it would be cool, and from an Intel POV... we can see most of the system though the telescope." Clint said as he gestured to it. "But mostly I always pictured coming out here on a stormy night, watching the rain and the clouds and lightning. Curled up on that couch and enjoying a nice bottle of wine. And each other's company. So... your first encounter with ice cream with sprinkles... what'd you think?"

[Liara]

“Better then I imagined.” Selene said as she slipped her arms around him. “The company might have had something to do with it.”

[Clint Cross]

"That it does. Kaitlyn seems to have taken to you pretty well.' Clint said with a smile. "James i knew would be cool with you being around. Cece being their nanny will take a bit of getting used to. More used to the little one around not the big one."
