Megean hurriedly jumped back the instant Sylas opened his eyes, so startled that she almost smashed her head and body against the series of wires and screens.
When she landed, she was already heaving out heavy breaths, placing a palm to her chest in shock.
"You… you're alive!"
Sylas stared at her for a moment before he replied. He was trying to understand if he had done something that would make him seem dead.
Normally, he would be far too ignorant to decide exactly what that was, but in the moments he had spent in the UniForge, as much as it took a great deal of self-control, he had focused on the task at hand.
That task being that he stepped out with all the leverage in the palm of his hands. And he felt like he had accomplished that.
"There were few issues," Sylas said.
"Few issues…?"
Part of Megean was skeptical, but then she turned her gaze toward the line of spinal connections between Sylas and the UniForge, and there was little she could do to refute it.
