Hi DumBot! If I wanted to discover everything there is to know about someone, including their early years, is that something you can help me with?
DumBot:
I can absolutely help you research someone. Is this person living or dead?
Electra scratches her head.
I’m just going to give you an identifier.
DumBot:
Great. I’m ready when you are!
She types:
A-RES6-MSP-00022960.
DumBot:

Electra scans the list, snagging on—oh God.
(11/14/2292) Medical examiner lists cause of Jerme’s death as atmosphere-assisted suicide.
Electra drops the tablet on the bed as her stomach clenches. Her mind quickly pieces together the little she knows about him. She picks up the tablet again and scans to see when he started CHOICElover.
