"We could bring them all back."
Charlie feels her breath catch in her throat at the thing's words.
"Your father, your brother..."
"Maggie." The name escapes her, before she can clamp down on it.
"And Nora," the thing nods at her encouragingly. "Would you like that?"
"Would they be themselves?" Charlie asks, the hand that clutches her revolver swinging loose, forgotten at her side. "Or would they be something else?"
Its a trick. It has to be. If there's one benefit to being Rachel Matheson's daughter, it's knowing when someone's attempting to manipulate you.The thing considers Charlie for a moment, head tilting to the side, as if it really needs to think about that

Can ficlets have deleted scenes? I feel - yes. Because I hate editing. And being concise. ALSO - LOL...in the longer version of this Charlie helps Bass stand up. So I'll have to add that in. AND OH SPELLING/GRAMMAR WHY.
"Next one won't miss," Charlie promises, unblinkingly.
The nanites have grown fond of this form.
Aaron's certain that the nanites are puppeting his ex-wife around to punish him, but Charlie's almost positive it's much, much simpler.
Those mechanical jerks like being Priscilla
