"Well it seems our bes- second best chance at saving humanity has a boyfriend." "Oh," replied the chief with a smirk on his rarely exposed face. Him and Sarah were looking over the Commons at the kids. "Yep, a boy named Brian asked her after the sim. Very handsome, the right type for her." The kids were in their under suits, the main uniform. Most were playing holo-sims and practicing. Karen and Brian were watching a movie though. "Do you think she'll warm-up to the idea of having one," asked Sarah. " In 'one' I'm guessing that that means a boyfriend?" "Yes," she replied. "I don't know. She likes to keep things to herself. Cortana tells me she talks to Nephritis a lot though." "About what?" "Girl stuff." "Did she tell you what though?" she asked getting pushier. "Those words exactly: Girl stuff." "Well I hope she tells me-" As if hit she realized what it was. "She does like Brian!" "Bingo." "Why wouldn't she tell me though, is it because- wait you knew? I thought Cortana didn't tell you what she told Nephritis?" "I only said Cortana, Nephritis told me." "Why?" "She thought I needed to know." Sarah turned to see that Karen was snuggling with Bryan. "It's late they need their sleep." "Okay, I just-" "Don't dwell on it. She's fourteen, all teens do this to their mot- guardians." Sarah walked down walked down the metal stairs to her quarters. What the chief said had stung. Sarah wasn't Karen's mother. Then an idea hit her. She sat down at her terminal and called up one of the genesists and asked him to do a small experiment on her and Karen. She had a feeling it would make the crack between them a giant chasm.
