*nods* So back to Chuck's question. That makes you 27? 28?

I'm... I'm not sure. I've spent such a long time in the Brink...
:::She palmed the back of her neck as they walked thinking about it... when her hands felt her hair, how much it had grown:::
I'm 25.

*Luke nodded. He liked that age better.* ...Are you really 25?

That would by my guess... maybe 26. :::She looked around, trying to think of what season it was, but her inexperience with the earth having any kind of season gave her no help:::
What... month is it?

For me? March. March ... 21st.
*points out* It's not what month it is for -you- though, babe.

I don't have a month, in any case. But if they ask, I'll tell them my birthday isn't until October... I'll be 25 until then.
October, isn't the 8th month, right? It was the 10th month by the 21st century? That was always confusing in history lessons.

*nods* It's the tenth one. *Again, Luke realizes that if Chuck or Aimee had been standing there, how odd that would have sounded.*
Okay. So let's review. You are Cora Blaize. You are 25 years old. Your birthday is in October - the tenth month of the year. You used to be a police officer, but ... then it lost its appeal once you realized...
*pauses, snaps fingers* We need to find you a job that you do now, and since we get to pick it, it has to be a good one. Something with math and science ... *remembers* and a lot of reading.

:::She scratches her head, cooincidentally with her cybornetic arm:::
There was a boom in biological engineering around this time, wasn't there?

You mean genetics? *smirk* Like Dolly the Sheep? They cloned her back when I was in high school. *adds* You might not want to get into that though. There is a lot of controvery over cloning and genetics. That'll put you right in the middle of a political debate.

Cloning wins... I had one in cryopreservation for harvesting purposes, but I never needed to use it. :::Thanks to the tools who decided to build me an arm instead... but Luke didn't know that:::
But if you don't think it's a good idea... what else would you suggest?

....... You have a clone? So somewhere, some time there's another Cora Serenis walking around?

Well everyone does...
:::That must be odd to Luke who'd only ever heard of the sheep being cloned:::
Things really do change... :::She smirked::: maybe not for the better. A lot has to happen though before cloning is legalized and standarized though, probably not in your lifetime.

*As Cora says this, a young freshman girl passed them by. She eyed Luke and Cora oddly as she heard the subject matter, blinked, and walked on.*
*Luke had been thinking about how creepy it was, that human beings would be cloned - all humans - in the next thousand years. And he was wondering if it was better or worse that he knew this - when he notices a girl giving them a weird look. Luke didn't know her or anything, but...*
*He clears his throat and says to Cora.* So you see my point - that if you start talking about clones of human beings tonight ... It's gonna draw some attention.

Right. So what is a common job for someone who uses, math and reads a lot?

*says definitively*
Right now, you're working at a bank... but you're taking night classes to become a physicist. That's why you stopped being a cop. You realized your the true excitement of...uh physics.
