Jeannie has been interrogated and examined by leaders of Risnar.
“A most interesting development,” Yees opined. “Thank
you for your cooperation with our questions and tests, Jeannie. I will inform
you of our decision and if you will meet with the Assembly soon.”
She turned to go, but Jeannie realized she had a
question of her own, one that needed to be answered immediately. “Elder Yees?”
Yees slowly pivoted to face her again. “Yes?”
“What happens if I’m judged not sentient? If you
decide the Monsuda made me?”
Kren stiffened next to her. His grip on her hand
tightened as Yees regarded her with detached composure.
The head elder said, “This may be distressing to
you. But you must understand that we cannot allow any Monsudan creations that
fall into our hands to remain functional. Such devices are too dangerous to our
existence. They must be eradicated.”
Jeannie’s stomach churned. “Eradicated? Do you mean
you’d kill me?”
“Yes.”
