Io felt bad. Why wasn't she emoting to seeing her body like this? Why couldn't she comfort Callisto? Was it because Jace swooped in first, or was it something else? "Don't feel bad." Metis told her gently when he saw the distress on her face. "It's probably best that you don't remember. No doubt seeing this is just weird for you." Io grimaced, she didn't like how it felt weird. No doubt they were hoping for something, some hint that the old Io was still in there, somewhere. But there was none of that, only confusion and apprehension as she gazed upon her cadaver. Callisto told her about their parents and she figured she would take her twin sister's word on it. "Okay, if you think that's best."
She touched Cali's arm as they walked away. Callisto felt guilty - perhaps she was trying to make Io human again? That was impossible now of course, there was no bringing back the dead. "Sis." Io gave Cali a big smile and then a brief hug despite Grover's attempts to hurry them along. "Please don't be sad. I'm happy right now!" Even if Firis wasn't here, Io was more or less happy. She was excited to talk to Minnie more, to get to know friendly Dane, she was hopeful for the future that she'd be able to talk Firis back into a world of sense, she was eager to bond more with her family, Callisto and Metis. Maybe she could even befriend someone like Jace, if such a thing was possible. "You don't have to save me anymore." She didn't want Cali to be burdened by her, Cali deserved to smile and see the joy in life.
It was time for maintenance. Io was strapped in but she didn't resist, having nothing but trust for the Doctor. "This won't be long, I'm simply connecting you back to the network." Grover explained after doing a check of her systems. Everything was in order, even the balance system was in working order. "Your battery needs replacing, it's degraded a bit, and you could stand to have a weapons upgrade, but otherwise you're doing fine." She hooked a cable connecting Hymnos to her, the transparent android smiling at her. "Hello, I'm Hymnos. I'm glad you're happy." She overheard the conversation? Hymnos was an odd one, hooked up to many dozens of databases with her own body. She had an important job and was glad to do so.
But then nothing happened. "Dr. Grover, I'm being blocked." Hymnos whimpered, shaking her head. "I can't bring her back in." Grover frowned, pondering what this meant. "Viren must have gotten better." The doctor sighed, pulling the cable out. "Let me take one last diagnostic scan." The light flashed through Io's body and then an image appeared, full of numbers and letters that made no sense to the android. "I'll puzzle this out later, I'm going to tend to Callisto now. You're free to go, but beware the Uprising." It seemed they left something behind in her programming, something Io didn't want to know.
