“As well as the settlement from Vikor because he followed the suggestion not to allow a protective bot inside, and Techor and Remark, who yanked your mind open.”
“Right.”She shuddered.
“So, if you accept, we just need to do it in front of the legal representative.Caska.”
“Okay.”
They headed inside, where Jienne was properly introduced to Caska, who explained that if Jienne needed any assistance relating to the assault, the BDC would still help.
She nodded, asked a few quiet questions, and then agreed to the settlement.
Zera signed, and Ava signed as the financial overseer.The transfer was begun immediately, and Jienne got a call from her financial institution a moment later.When she confirmed she was expecting a legal payout and was content with a seven-day hold, everything was done.
When it was done, her knees were wobbly.“Now what?”
“Now, you get to decide what you want to do.You can go on a vacation, pay off some bills, spend time with family, or see if you want to take any classes.Heck, you can even buy a house in a nice area.”
Jienne nodded.“Do I have to leave right away?”
Ava shook her head.“No, of course not, but you will have to put up with the twins.They are in today since they had to leave their regular jobs for this.”
Keska was talking with the projection of Cabree, and she looked over.“I have to get back to work.There is a tournament, and my poor machines are taking a beating.”
Jienne said, “What do you do?”
Zera snorted.“She makes and repairs tiny machines.That’s her activation.”
“And Zera is all butthurt because I am not going to be exclusive to Z Corp.Making sex toys for actives isn’t exactly mentally challenging.Even making the jewel clasps that Drin is wearing was only the work of half a day.”
Torun grumbled, “And Zera is upset that Keska won’t be an escort.”
Zera snorted.“She doesn’t need to be legal like Caska.I know it isn’t readily obvious, but Keska takes your breath away when she’s all dressed up.”
Keska grinned.“She’s right.I am fucking stunning.Oh, Kritz found our genetic donors, Caska.”
Caska looked over.“Really?Nice.Anyone we know?”
“Yup.The Blade of Uradda and the eternal Aluhara.I don’t know how we are made of two girls, but here we are.”
Zera blinked.“You are related to Nelith?”
Keska chuckled.“Yah.”
“Does she know?”
“Nope.I got the results this morning when I was working on one of Kritz’s micro screwdrivers.”
Zera said, “I thought you would be excited.”
“Why?You know our situation.We know Nelith’s situation, and I am guessing that Aluhara has a slow-aging factor.No wonder they wanted more of them.I just wish we had gotten out earlier.Escaping when we were five was five years too late.”
Caska smiled.“At least we were cute enough to get adopted.”
Keska nodded.“And we got neat names.I like mine.”
Torun snorted.
Zera sighed.“Well, this is a traumatic day for me.”
