To Harry, this was reminiscent of another cop vid he viewed in his collection: _Good cop, bad cop_. He was betting the lieutenant was the _bad cop_.

"Is that true, puny man? Are you different?" Kieran taunted.

Carlos, ignoring her, turned teacher. "This is a Bio scanner," he said to Harry and Marlene. "It scans Bio tissue and bones for foreign bodies. It used to be used to identify cancerous or fibrous tissue, broken bones, as well as projectiles, 'bullets,' I think they're called, from the first millennium. We destroyed the cybercom components in the scanner and salvaged the rest. It'll tell us if you are all flesh and blood with nothing extra. So far, your internal organs look fine and healthy."

"Cyber parts. Manipulator implants. Backbone," added Kieran with a sardonic smile.

"Lieutenant O'Shea, that's enough!" Carlos glared at Kieran who stood her ground for the moment then backed away, hands raised over her head as if conceding defeat for the moment.

Harry stammered, "If I'm not all human...?"

"You don't really want to know," Carlos said, not looking at him. "We're scanning your brain next."

Harry looked at Kieran who smiled sardonically and shrugged. Her eyes had a cold look about them—even when she smiled. He heard the scanner hum briefly as something traveled along a path inside it.

"Primitive, I know, but it'll do the trick. What the...! Damn!" Carlos' face twisted to grimace. "Kieran, take a look at this!"

In an instant she was back by his side, looking over his shoulder.

As Harry started up, Carlos pushed him back down with one hand. "Stay down for a moment," he ordered with the gentleness of a physician as he moved the scanner so Kieran could see the image.

"That square object at the base of his brain?"

"That's not unusual, Carlos." Kieran was not terribly impressed. "We all have them or had them."

"Look at

 To Harry, this was reminiscent of another bull vid he viewed in his collection: _ Good bull, regretful cop _. He was betting the deputy was the _ bad cop _.
