Chapter 1728 Aftermath of Parry City's Incident -Part 10
"Yes. She is no danger at all but we are keeping her in …sorry for the crude word erm maintenance until we can fully diagnosis that she is okay." Denise reported.
"Why did you not tell me about it earlier?" Jin asked and wanted to see her at this instant. "Also what do you mean by keeping her in maintenance until she is okay? She isn't human in this Virtual Simulation but a Mechanoid. Isn't it just replacing parts?"
"We do have the parts though but the design is overly complicated that our engineers do not dare to touch it. We managed to contact Master Flammet and he said that Nie would be providing the blueprint details for the engineers as soon as he could. However, the reason we put her in maintenance was because her cores seem to be emitting some energy that is detectable but not known. We are afraid that it's some radiation that could harm not just the people working but affecting the mechanoids as well."
It was then Jin realised that what Denise was speaking of was his Maqi that had flowed within her. "Don't worry. I think I know what kind of energy is that. Bring me to her and I will have a look at Lynn."
"I already knew you said that had prepared a helicopter for you. Let's go." Denise stated and it did not take long for them to reach Diamondz Headquarters where Jin saw that it was still rebuilding the certain areas that Jin and the others had destroyed.
"Your building is rather tough. Even with all the damage we did, its still standing tall." Jin said and Denise gave a light 'Hmmph'.
"This is still the headquarters of the few largest mechanoid corps around here. Of course, we need it to be solid. Won't want it to go down like a house of cards, right?"
"That is true." Jin remained quiet throughout the entire ride and when they reached the maintenance department, he noticed that she was indeed brought a corner where there were no equipment and Mechanoids around the area. It was distanced so that none of the items would be affected by this unknown energy that the engineers had detected.
Not to mention, there were several makeshifts lead screens and barriers to ensure that the energy emission would be as little as possible. Denise was told to wear a hazmat suit based on the engineer's recommendation but Jin did not bother at all.
He could sense the energy emission and noted that this was undoubtedly the Maqi that had been oozing out from Lynn's Mechanoid body. He walked in brazenly and looked at her. There were nanobots working on her body 24/7 and the charred body which he had seen previously had mostly disappeared. Her body was still warm and her functions were working as intended but despite several reboots, she was not activating.
The engineers do not know that this was a customised Mechanoid meant to be a vessel to keep Lynn's soul in there and not a Mechanoid that could be turn on or off any time. That was why they had no idea why she could not be working.
Jin, on the other hand, picked her hand up from the cold metal couch she was lying on and grabbed it hard. "Sorry. I had not been a good partner. To let you stay at this condition for such a long time…and not able to help you when you really needed help."
At that point, Jin's Maqi slowly flow into Lynn's Mechanoid body in order to balance the current's flow within Lynn. He did not rush to quickly balance it which he would usually do to counter the flow but instead he blended his Maqi along with the surrounding leftover Maqi.
As time goes by, he managed to gather the Maqi that had been oozing out of the Mechanoid and intermittently sent it back to Lynn, allowing to get back what was lost. And since Lynn was not there to regulate her own reactors, Jin did what he could to make sure that all the reactors were managed properly.
Soon, the engineers could detect that the initial energy release had been slowed down significantly to the point that it was non existent. They did not know what was going on but only understood that Jin had managed to keep it in check and most of them sighed in relief.
Denise was the first one to go through all those lead screens and barriers to talk to Jin although she was still wearing the Hazmat suit to tell him about the progress that he had made. "That's good to hear, I will stay here with her for the night. Mind getting me a chair?"
"But Jin, even if you stay here, there is nothing much you can do."
"I know that. Just let me be." He said and Denise acceded to his request. When left alone, Jin kept quiet continuously holding her hand and stared at her occasionally. Denise felt that the attachment was not just a Commander and Mechanoid relationship but something even deeper than that which she knew that it was better not to pry.
She told the engineers not to bother them once they were done doing diagnosis from afar which the engineers understood and returned to do other work. "Jin, there is a button at the side of the bed. You can press that when you need any of the engineers to look at her." Denise reminded him before leaving and yet he was quiet, not to answer a single word.
It was only when Denise was about to leave the area, Jin spouted a soft thank you to Denise for taking Lynn here to repair and recover. "No worries about that. This is what Diamondz Corp is for, especially during such situations. You should thank 2LT Cloudie for sending her as soon as he could." Denise said and the lights in the room were mostly off except for that small corner where Jin and Lynn was.
