Cassie's eyes widened in fear for Lucien when he suddenly began yelling out in pain and she shook her head quickly, tears escaping her eyes, "Don't say things like that Lucien! Y...you're going to be fine. You're going to make in through this...." She couldn't stand to see him in such pain as he was in. She leaned down, kissing his lips and his cheek and anything else she could find in attempt to comfort him before she spoke, "Uncle....he.....he's given us two options Lucien......neither of them are good.....but....if we want you to live....then.....then its our only chances....." She took a deep breath before continuing, "He...he had wanted me to choose, but....I felt it would be best for you to choose your own fate....just like I choose mine." She stopped herself before getting into that, though it had already been said. He would know she had chosen to become like this. She continued speaking before he had a chance to respond. She didn't want him to respond. It would hurt too much for him to react to that news because she knew the reaction wouldn't be good.

"The first option Uncle proposed is suspended animation. It....it will get rid of the pain. You virtually be asleep throughout the whole healing process and could avoid many physical therapies. But....the sleep will last a year. If anything were to happen, if we were to be attacked say, you would be completely helpless and defenseless in that state. There could also be some temporary muscle loss. And....when you awoke, there could very well be permanent memory loss. It's likely it wouldn't remember anyone. Including myself." 

She took a deep breath and continued, "The....the second option is.....much more complicated. Uncle suggested doing the same thing he and I did. Letting the robots find you and capture you. They wouldn't kill you. You are strong and have skills they would find useful. They would convert you into an Android, replacing any parts of you that are damaged. It would save your life and....and my hopes is that possibly what happened with myself....could happen with you. That maybe your human self would be retrained and retrievable after the conversion. I...can't tell you exactly what goes on through out the process. I just delivered the human to the center and left. The only ones who know what goes on behind those doors are the robots themselves. No androids are aloud within the conversion rooms....I guess afraid we would stop them knowing the same thing had once happened to us. But what I do know is....that the process is very possibly painful....and while the chips int he androids brains block memories, the memories are retrievable through certain actions. But, there still remains the threat that....that you may well loose every part of your humanity. You may not end up like me....if that were the case....you would be placed on a termination team....and you would be a full android, not a cyborg like myself."

She leaned down, running her hands through his hair and placing her forehead on his in comfort, "Whatever you choose Lucien, I will support you fully. And will always love you no matter what. You have to know that." She whispered, kissing him softly.
