Athena: Hello, how are you doing?

Me: Good, thanks. I'm writing a story about Tomorrowland.

Athena: Okay. You know what to mention, don't you?

Me: *Sigh* I don't own Tomorrowland.

As Athena and Casey got on the monorail, Athena noticed her body was a bit different. She felt slightly... stronger than before.

'Did you make any changes to my code when you rebuilt me?' Athena asked.

'Dr. Wilson did mention making some physical improvements, but she didn't specify. Why, what's wrong?'

'I just feel a bit different. Stronger, in fact.'

'That should be good, right? She probably just made your body out of a more durable material.'

Athena agreed, but also wondered what other minor 'improvements' Dr. Wilson might have made. But she did not dwell on it, as she was admiring the new Tomorrowland after being on the run for so long.

After a few stops, the cool female voice announced, 'you have arrived at the Administration Offices'.

'It'll be a bit awkward for you to meet Frank again,' said Casey.

'Why would it be awkward?'

'Because you know... you've shared last thoughts with him.'

Athena didn't quite understand, but she made a note anyway: it can be awkward to meet someone you have shared last thoughts with.

The two walked down a footpath that cut across artificial grass, before arriving at a magnificent doorway which was double the size of that of the AA Laboratory. And yet it still opened with ease to let them in.

A male AA receptionist sat in the atrium and, upon seeing them enter, said, 'good morning, Miss Newton.'

'Hey,' Casey answered flatly. 'Just here to see Frank.'

'Is that... Athena?' the receptionist asked.

Casey nodded. Athena stayed silent with a straight face.

'Wow... I've heard a lot about her. I thought she had self-destructed?'

'She did, but we rebuilt her.'

The receptionist smiled and invited the two to continue on to the elevator. Athena and Casey headed towards the elevator, where Casey said 'top floor', and the elevator responded without hesitation by whizzing upwards.

'It's rather unusual for an AA to be amazed,' Athena remarked as they skyrocketed past multiple floors.

'That's true, but you're a celebrity to most AAs here. There's gonna be a lot more of this amazement.'

They both stepped out of the elevator. 'Surely this is also happens to you?'

'It did. It was so irritating. I nearly went insane because people pointed at me or came and talked to me whenever I walked past. Thank goodness it's died down now.'

They arrived at a door emblazoned with the words 'Governor Walker'. A 'come in' came from inside in response to Casey's knock. Casey extended her arm out across Athena, signalling her to stay where she was.

Frank, being the governor of Tomorrowland, had a quite a large office that came with a smorgasbord of various holographic monitors along the walls. On his desk was a hologram of a building projected from a small disc on his computer, presumably a design of a building to be constructed soon. What stood out most of all, however, was a window that took up nearly an entire side of the office and provided an extraordinary view of Tomorrowland from hundreds of metres up. People walking on the ground were dots crawling across shades of silver or green.

Frank turned around from a map of Tomorrowland. 'Oh, hey, kid,' Frank said casually.

'Frank. I'm not a kid.'

'Fine, Casey.'

'Anyway, I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday.'

'Oh, you actually remembered,' Frank replied with a hint of sarcasm.

'And I got you something as well.'

'Really?' Frank was genuinely surprised since Casey seldom gave gifts.

Athena popped into the room. 'Hello, Frank.'

Frank froze. His jaw dropped.

'Are you okay, Frank?'

'Yeah... uhh... hey, Athena.' His open mouth curved into a smile. He went to Athena and gave her a hug. 'I was hoping you would come back,' he smiled. Behind Athena's back he sent Casey a facial expression – thanks Casey, this is brilliant.

'Um, so what are you going to do now?' Frank asked Athena. 'Are you going back to recruiting, or...?'

'That's your decision. You're the governor.'

'I'll let you decide yourself then. Meanwhile, I would love to catch up with you, but unfortunately I have a meeting in twenty minutes, so hopefully we can talk some other time.'

Athena smiled. 'Bye, Frank,' she said, as she and Casey left the room.
