Riley just glared at Jethro, unimpressed with his repetitive threat. "How many times are you going to say that to me? Until my brain is mush?" She stood up, back straight. "I'm not like any of those dumb grunts pretending to be bad asses. If you're going to insult my intelligence and my capability to understand your terms, then I suggest you do it in a way that doesn't make YOU look like an ass. Now...can I go? Or do you wanna send more jabs my way?"

Jethro nodded towards the small camera in the corner of his office.

"just because I run the place doesn't mean I don't report to someone. the threats are merely protocol here. and yes you can go."

he sat back down at his desk and started reading some reports that had just come in.

"Hal, please see to Riley's personal needs if any for the night if there need be any."

"certainly sir."

A projection appeared beside Riley, the top half of him resembled a man who was bald in a much resembled appearance to an old earth actor Patrick Stewart the lower half from the waist down was seemingly just wire frame and visible coding. His British accent thick and heavy.

"oh and I assume you put a small hidden file somewhere in the system that gives you all access, everything in your files suggest that trait in your work, actually if I recall that was one of the big clues you left behind leading to your arrest and conviction. I'm fine with you having all access, just no changes without my knowing is all I ask."
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again.

Riley blinked at the projection. "I thought it was strange you had two AI programs. Hal?" She arched a brow at the name. "What kind of name is Hal? What? No Albert, or Wadsworth? What about Alfred? Or Jeeves?"

the hologram stared at her for a moment.

"Hal, Holographic Artificial Life-form... H.A.L. While I have no physical body so to speak of I am connected to every system in this compound as well as a sub-link to the Archam database, as you no doubt noticed while you were reprogramming the other systems you likely saw that I have no virtual file connection to the system. In other words any tampering with my files is completely useless without a hold of the main system device of which my actual program is written in. That being said I am programed to answer most unclassified information unless otherwise instructed to by the creator of my program. Any questions you have about my system and it's operations please feel free to ask."

Jethro simply glanced at Hal for a moment before looking back to his reports.

Riley watched, listening intently. "I see. Well...nice to meet you...I guess." She looked over at Jethro then Dr. Tran. Without so much as a word, she left the room. "I guess you're escorting me to my room then to avoid any trouble with the security protocols?"

The hologram simply laughed for a moment.

"Good lord no, I'll meet you there."

With that he simply disappeared.

"Well Dr. Tran I think we have some daily business to tend to."

With that he got up and walked out of his office and started for the stairs to the lobby, he was going to make his rounds of the compounds to make sure everything was running smoothly.

Riley returned to her quarters, seeing the crap food she saw in the delivering compartment. Sighing, she could only climb into the shower and soak for an hour. She slept for awhile, quietly before her face contorted in discomfort, images of her big brothers being killed while she hid behind a large series of thick wires, blood splattering. She gasped, tears streaming down as the blood flowed from their bodies towards her. She screamed in anguish, waking herself from her nightmare in a cold sweat, sitting up.

Breath had escaped her briefly, hair in her face, eyes almost void of emotion. Eventually she found air again, greedily gulping it before sitting on the edge of the bed. Just sitting there, anger obvious but it was so subtle, it seemed she was just as depressed.

A faint glow emitted in her room as Hal appeared in the corner.

"Sensed a disturbance in your sleeping habits is everything alright Mrs. Tombs?"

His British accent still just as thick.

Jethro on the other hand was walking through the residence district looking for any signs of trouble. He saw several guards walking around and others simply standing around talking. Most of the other inmates simply just walked around and went about their daily tasks, seemingly avoiding the guards as much as possible.

"sad in a way."

"Miss," she gently corrected. Sighing, she ran fingers through her hair. She barely looked up at him. "Must be nice...being a machine...or simply data with objectives." She hugged her legs as she sat on her bed, back to the wall. "Hal...are you able to access police reports of past arrests? Or attempted arrests?"

Hal Half smiled at her.

"Why of course. If Archam's got anything it's access to just about anything. Is there someone in particular you'd like me to run a search on?"

Riley recited the names of the two victims from years ago, including the date and which police department. She didn't know what she'd find, but she simply wanted to concentrate her mind on something. She wasn't going to get any sleep anytime soon.

Hal seemed to go blank for a moment before two what looked like panels show up in front of him showing the two people she had requested, he started with the one on the left of her.

"Carlos Rei, age at death twenty seven, of earth south American decent. List of noted offences included Breaking and entering, assault, petty theft, grand theft, hacking, evading arrest and causing of collateral damage. While his history seemed to have died with him other then that he was an orphan his record had him listed as being killed by an officer while evading arrest. Beaten to death apparently."

He seemed to hesitate for a moment when he looked at the other profile.

"Cillian Hunt, Age at death Twenty eight, of earth descent exact location and any other personal location classified by top clearance. List of notable offences include breaking and entering, petty theft, grand theft, evading arrest, hacking and alleged cause of collateral damage. While it remains to be proven as to whether it was police or not Hunt was shot point blank to the back of the head execution style with a 9.9 millimetre police issue handgun registered to an officer Samuel Colbert, currently discharged under suspicion of illegal activities."

Hal seemed to eye Riley for a moment.

"As a side note of interest Riley, Cillian Hunt is in fact Jethros son, it is also a rather touchy subject with him, I'd advise not to speak with him about it."

Riley's eyes were dark with resentment. She had respected these two. They raised her like they were her own brothers. But the shock that Cillian was actually related to Jethro hit her hard. It explained a lot. Maybe he knew Cillian had a hand in Riley's childhood and in turn felt that it was necessary to honour his son's memory by looking after her. No...that can't be it.

"Cillian...Carlos..." She hugged her legs. "That's all Hal...thanks."

"anytime my Dear."

He gave a slight nod but before disappearing he said one more thing.

"Miss. Tombs, far be it for me to question this but you seem like you might have a few questions left?"


Jethro after his rounds had returned to his room and laid down on his bed, he set his gun down on the table next to him and looked up at the ceiling, He really had nothing he wanted to do at this point.

Riley said nothing for a moment. Eventually she opened her mouth but closed it. Sighing, she went ahead and asked anyway. "I'm sure there are others in this hell pit that he could have chosen to reprogram Sarah. I know I'm one of the best, but why me specifically. Does he know I once knew Cillian? Is he pitying me for that reason alone?"
