V exiting the Virtibird and arriving at the oil rig is amazed at the operation going on here in the middle of the ocean. However she doesn't have long to look around as V is immediately greeted by President Dick Richardson and his secret service, the giant behemoth that is Frank Horigan being hard to miss. V has yet to met either of them up to this point but she's spoken to the president over the phone and seen a picture of Frank.
"Welcome to the Rig V, don't mind Frank, he's just protective." President Richardson says while holding out his hand.
"It's not a issue, I heard that you guys found a solution to my issue?" V responded while shaking the President's hand.
"Oh, yeah, we did, that's why we brought you here on such short notice. The lead researcher on the project will explain it to you in detail."
V follows the President and his security staff to the research labs on the Rig. It's a clean and organized environment where many people are performing many small scale projects. The group eventually reaches a small team of researchers.
"Dr. Stineburg, I have brought V so you can explain to her what you came up with to help her." President Richardson said to a man in his late forties early fifties full head of hair but had random gray spots all over the place.
"Oh, uh, yes Mr. President. So V upon looking at the initial data we knew that any solution where it was only you in the body without Johnny Silverhand's mind would lead to the body killing itself. However any outcome where it was just Johnny Silverhand in your body was also undesirable. So we developed a solution that involved the merger of you with Johnny Silverhand. Even though this is the most optimal solution, it's unsure what the outcome will be." Dr. Stineburg told V.
"Give me a moment to think about it." V says. 'So Johny you're thoughts?'
'It is the most optimal, especially if say one of us were to go our separate ways after going through with Alt's plan, the one who would go with alt would end up losing their mind anyway.'
'We could potentially be creating a child of sorts.'
'I actually like that idea kinda. My best qualities mixing with your best qualities to create something new. That will be my legacy.'
'Then it's settled.'
'I guess it is.'
"Let's do it."
"Ok, follow me." Dr. Stineburg said and led V to a medical table. "Please lay down here."
V got onto the table and laid down on it. "Would you mind if I make a call before we do this?" V asked.
"Not at all. I have a few things to do first."
V then calls Judy. "Hey Judy, how are you doing?"
"Oh, you know, same old. Why?"
"So I am about to do something that will solve my issue. However I may not be the same person afterwards. So just in case, I just want to say, I love you."
"I know. Look even if you come out different, just come here first thing and we will sort things out. Ok?"
"Will try." V then hangs up.
"You ready to start?" Dr. Stineburg asks.
"Yeah, lets do this." V responds.
The good Dr. then injects a modified variant of the FEV into the back of V's head. This causes her to go into a deep sleep.
"So how long will this take?" President Richardson asks.
"A few minutes, a few hours, at most a few days. She needs time for the two personalities in her head to merge and become one. However I do recommend finding the person who she was just on the phone with as it will make reasoning with the new personality easier."
"How so?"
"There is a chance that the memories of the two personalities could cause her to go rogue and lose control. However if a familiar face, someone that she's close to and cares about is the first person she sees. It might just keep her calm enough for her to sit there and sort through those memories."
"Then I will send a team to retrieve this Girlfriend of hers immediately."
