"There's something you should see. I was in the office, next to where we found him..." She pointed at Topher, "I was trying to figure out how everything worked whe I found this." She held out the photo frame. Bennet's smiling face showed from behind the glass and Topher was ready to cry. Simon looked from it to his sister. Mal looked like a dear in head lights. Zoe didn't change her expression since Wash died. Jayne tilted his head.
"That's down right unsettling."
"Her name was Bennet." Topher took it slowly, "She was like me, a programmer of Dolls, but so much smarter. I was there whe Dr Saunders, a doll who went bad, shot her. I'd thought of it just before River began to scream...she read it off my mind I guess..."
As the crew fussed and cussed, Topher sat beside River. He had crushed the doll software, wiped it all. Yet if they were right, this girl was a dangersous girl whose brain had been adjusted. She was a psychic warrior woman.
Was it wrong he found that amazingly sexy?
