Angela lay down on a relay housing as if on a bed. The terminal helmet was on her head. Checking the connected wires, Dingo said, “Well, I think that’s everything.”
Watching him, Pioneer asked Angela, <When you return to Deva, what will happen to your physical body?>
“When my mind returns to Deva, the body will fall into a coma. When the mission will officially be declared complete, I will send a telomere reduction code to the neurons in the brainstem, after which the biological functions will stop. I’ll let you know. Forgive me, but can you get rid of the body then, burn it or bury it.”
Dingo groaned in disgust.
“Here you are. How can I not like to part with Deva’s agents. Always leaving something unpleasant behind.”
Angela forced a smile.
“If the mission will be continued, perhaps I will have to return to my body. So while it functions, don’t you dare do anything to it.”
“Yeah yeah.”
She turned to Pioneer.
“I want to clarify. You’re not going to be breaking into Deva anymore, right? You won’t be kidnapping people into your crew?”
<I will only take volunteers. I only need those, who recognize the importance of research, otherwise the mission will fail. I told about myself in order to find like-minded people.>
She nodded and said seriously, “I will report everything about you to the security service. You can’t run or hide. If you want to find a crew, contact Deva’s government officially…Will you be able to do this next time?”
<Yes. Thank you for this decision, Angela Balzac.>
Having said this, the robot held out his manipulator. Angela’s face was calm, and she shook it in answer.
She placed her head, covered with the helmet, on a platen. Dingo glanced at her and said goodbye.
“Well, we did an excellent job.”
“You were the exact guide, that you were described as,” Angela sighed, “Effective, but too self-willed. There’s so much trouble from you.”
“So you won’t work with me anymore?”
“If this wasn’t enough.”
Having said this, she smiled, “If there are any more assignments in the future, I’ll ask for you as my partner. Don’t let me down.”
She closed her eyes. Dingo started to work behind the communication panel. Angela’s mind left the physical body and headed to the sea of electronic information. With closed eyes in the darkness, its vision switched to images from the virtual space. There was no more physical body, she returned to her original state, the virtual body. Before her was the majestic sight of the Deva space station. She filed a request to the security operator.
“Agent Code – ZQ875456, Angela Balzac. Please grant access to the security service through an unofficial communication channel.”
She heard the voice of the operator.
“Agent code confirmed, identity of Angela Balzac, officer of the third rank is recognized. Access allowed. Please come in through the secure gateway.”
Before her appeared a dazzling ring of light. This was how Deva scans for viruses and malicious data. In the worst case, they would have frozen her and sent her to quarantine. She was worried that this access was unstable, but she went ahead without hesitation. Angela flew into the gates. Everything went smoothly. An information display appeared in front of Angela, it displayed the open locations. Amongst them was that beach. It was filled with people in bathing suits like usual.
Angela was back in Paradise.
