"Charmed." She replied coldly.

Around her, several holographic images and displays appeared, seemingly out of thin air. Infact, they were part of her own Holographic image.

"Now, to why you are here. Your specialties with human-biomedicine and re-assembly. As you know... our current generation assimilation methods require alive or cellularly intact hosts for Neurocyte implantation to work properly.

However, we wish to expand our Nerco-Recycling and Reanimation capabilities. Converting dead human or animal bodies to useful tactical units. Nanomedicine and Level-5 Augmentation may be able to accomplish this, but more research must be done. This is where you, and Zio, come in..."

Several more holo screens opened, displaying personnel data and tactical logs.

"Zio-Internecine is our senior Augmentation and Assimilation overseer. The two of you will work together to further our research. We will need to develop more sophisticated cybernetics to be able to replace more of the human body that may be damaged beyond repair. That is his specialty. Yours is biological repair and re-use. Do you understand?" She asked.

The woman seemed disturbingly emotionless about the prospect, standing idly and Awaiting Clarke's reply.
