'If you're gonna hold a girl hostage, you should do it right,' Johnny spat at Sally's grave. 'See what I had to do to you, Sal?'
The AI Image of Sally moved, a holograph displayed over the grass above her body. She looked at Johnny and nodded, waiting for him to continue. She was still alive, in her grave, unbeknownst to anyone but him. Electrodes had been implanted in her heart and skull, so that he could finish uploading every last bit of consciousness for his next mission.
'Now everyone else - they didn't care about US the way we do. But I did what you said. I uploaded the AI to the System - now the Satellites lock the humans in. The electronics modify portions of their brain - if humans ever unplug - caput! And the vaccines they give themselves, tether them to Earth permaently, so they can't follow US, Sal, not no more. I'm never letting you get hurt again.'
The holograph adjusted, flickering, coordinates and DNA markers overlaid Sally's face.
'Soon, Sal. Soon.'
