The amount of equipment that Jones travelled with was surprisingly light. Andrea had insisted on only bringing a minimum of equipment – relying on the combined might of Agency policy and Lost principles to bring the boy in their custody. Stef adjusted the case that Andrea had asked her to carry – a small silver […]
Ryan looked to his office door. There had been a knock. His HUD told him it was Stef outside – and she had knocked, instead of shifting in – a sign to be a little worried for her. She went through strange cycles of this – on good days, she would shift straight in, on […]
November 21st The first thing Stef saw upon reintegrating was Jones smiling. She stood at the long metal bench, her hair held up by a purple hairclip that seemed to be projecting holographic flowers into her hair. She gave a happy sigh. Jonesy was so pretty when presenting as Andrea. Boy!Jonesy was pretty too, but […]
November 20th Stef jerked awake. She wiped drool from the corner of her mouth, and sat up. Everything was how she’d left it – a semi-dark lab, Jones working on her code, and her hand blue.

November 17th ‘You want,’ Jones repeated, ‘a shark?’
November 16th Stef felt her nose twitch, a moment later, the smell of coffee happily invaded and she sat up, grasping for the nearby cup. ‘I’ll have to remember,’ she heard Jones say, ‘that if we ever have to wake you up, fairy-tale-style, that all we need is hot caffeine, rather than a handsome prince, […]
November 12th There were three sharp knocks on Ryan’s door. He quickly scanned the outside, saw it was Grigori, then required it open.
