Koma wakes

Lying in bed Koma opens his eyes.

'What happened?' Koma tries to remember. His memories don't remember anything of the last week but his wetware system tells him differently. He sees Gaia and her dark minions, henchmans sad face, and Lin. Lin exploded. She's dead, again.

"VADAR confirm." orders Koma.
'3 DAYS HAVE PASSED SINCE YOU WERE LAST AWAKE. WETWARE CONTAINS NO ANOMOLIES. MISTRESSES DOES EXIST' replies VADAR.

"What? Where is she?" demands Koma.

'Beside you.' replies VADAR.

Koma looks at the empty space on the other side of the bed. On the pillow is a chip. Koma picks it up. Teleports a light bee into his hand, inserts the chip and puts the light bee on the bed. Lin materialises.
"Oz what happened?" asks a surprised Lin. "I was sensing Gaia and then I ended up here." She goes to hug Koma and falls through him.
"Crap. I'm a hologram again." she screams.
'NEW BODY IN PROCESSING. TEN MINUTES TO COMPLETION.' informs VADAR.

--- Later after Lin's new body has been made. ---

"So what do we do?"asks Lin huging herself relieved to be corporeal again. Koma sits in front of a display of his wetware memory of the last week. It gets to the destruction of Lin.

"Oh dear!" she exclaims. "So that's what happened to me. Good thing we backed up that morning."

"We did but all the chips including the one in the protective safe was wipped. The chip your in now materelised from nowhere." explains Koma. "Somethings screwed up. Amazing!" Koma exclaims at first the vision from his eyes of the final battle, then at the vision of the archangel and Gaia battling in the sky.

"You don't remember any of this?" asks Lin.

"No my memory has been wipped like your chips." answerd Koma gravley.

'GAIA HAS BEEN LOCATED.' reports VADAR. 'XAVIER MANSION, WEST CHESTER, NEW YORK, USA.'

"Well that explains the memory wipe. Xavier has been up to his old tricks. Trying to protect people from bad things." Koma swivels his chair and gets up. "Time to go to Xaviers Lin."

"What about Gaia?" she asks wondereing why Koma's mind is closed to her right now.

"We'll see what happens with Gaia." replies Koma flatly. "We'll see."

That darn Professor, screwing around with other peoples' minds. He should be, uh, what was I talking about again?

Not to be patronizing, but it was for your own good Koma. I really just want what's best for everyone. Gaia is not a threat anymore. I will make sure her psychic dampeners stay in place.
