Meanwhile on San Juan..

[JunkerTown]

James Trenton arrives back at San Juan after retrieving Marcus's head unit.
His brain fully intact and operating on life support he is rushed to the med lab clean room.
For the transplant the area must be sterile and sealed for the duration of the operation.
Over the next seven days JT stays by his side supervising the surgeons.
He cannot leave the room after decontamination was complete and the room was sealed.
While he has been back Mia has only been able to visit with JT thru a twelve inch pane of glass.
Only able to speak by utilizing the intercommunication console on both sides.
She keeps the conversations short and sweet not bothering him with command decisions.
Only saying how much she loves him and glad that he is back safe.
Finally after a week of work Marcus's brain is transplanted and his systems reboot.
His eyes flash and light up as the metal monster comes back to life.
James says..

Marcus report!
Greetings JT it is good to see you again my friend.
All systems nominal ready for duty sir.
James nods and turns towards the exit.
Marcus now back at his side follows him out.
Walking onto the command deck the operators turn and applaud seeing the two entering the room.
James says..
Thanks everyone the operation was a success and as you can see Marcus is fully functional once again.
Now everyone settle down there is much work to be done.
First where is Mia?
The lead operator says..
Sir she's on La Fortaleza overseeing Congress operations there.
Very good.. patch me thru to her at LF immediately.
Aye sir calling her now!
The operator presses a few keys at his console and James picks up his communicator.
Mia this is JT.. are you there?

She was smiling, happy to hear from James again. she knew it would mean he was to be returning home soon.

"Yes, I'm here... I'm with Gypsie at the moment, and I have some urgent matters I need you to attend to. Do you want me to come to you, or are you coming to us?" She paused a moment before she spoke again, sounding concerned "By the way, How's Marcus?"

James smirks with a slight smile as he hears Mia's voice.
He says..

James nods to Marcus holds open the transmitter and points it at him.
Marcus says..
