1064 Return to Terminus

The next morning saw Max and Nico sitting in a board meeting with the full assortment of Department Heads, Business Leaders and the Envoys in addition to the Board of Directors and Felicity's Android avatar. She had integrated herself with the ship's computer at some point, so Max couldn't really say that the body was her anymore, as the World Ship had significantly more processing power, and the two shared the workload of the artificial intelligence's plans.

The body was still the core, but no longer the entirety of Felicity.

The man in front of Max had taken over for Admiral Penner as the head of the Absolution Police Force, and although he had been on the job for over a year now, he still seemed to wilt under the attention of all these important people.

That wasn't a good sign for his ability to assert his authority, but he seemed to be a competent bureaucrat on paper, and the department was running smoothly, according to the reports he had filed.
