“What part of him would you like to know about? His medical skill, or his character p>
“Just casual conversation Tell me whatever you happen to know,” Lyra typed.
Finished
Flynn spoke up. “We don’t know all that much. What sticks out most is his ongoing conflict with the prime minister p>
Cian nodded. “Right. The prime minister wants him in politics, yet Dr. Merrin would rather sneak off with military deployments than take that path p>
Soren added, “Lots of people witnessed when he got dragged back. Commander Knox’s face turned stone- cold, furious that an outsider had slipped into his ranks p>
Zane filled in more context. “Dr. Merrin had an older brother. He died during a mission to eliminate psychic monsters and rescue civilians.
“That loss is part of why the prime minister pushed Dr. Merrin to step into his shoes. Instead, Dr. Merrin threw himself deep into medicine and keeps his distance from political circles. Their views grew further and further apart p>
Lyra looked thoughtful. “I heard he devotes himself heavily to charity medical work p>
Flynn gave a short hum of agreement.
“He’s stationed at the White Citadel, yet he hardly stays idle. Whenever he has free time, he reaches out to officials on other star systems to ask how ordinary civilians are faring.
“Officials pay him lip service while resenting his interference. But regular people truly admire and respect
him p>
Lyra was building a clearer picture.
She switched topics.
“What is the story with Zev and Elan p>
Garen finally spoke. “They once served side-by-side. They were very close p>
Lyra frowned. “Then why did Elan end up inside Black Spire with dangerously high contamination values, while Zev stayed out p>
Zane fell into a short pause. “We don’t know much about that. We’re all Sentinels, but they belong to the Oversight Council p>
Lyra nodded.
Seeing her barely touch her food, Flynn asked, “Have you finished eating p>
Lyra nodded again.
Zane asked, “Would you like to head back now p>
Lyra thought it over. “Take me to the White Citadel shopping district. I need to buy a few things p>

Zane agreed at once.
The Sentinels in the private booth all rose and escorted her outside.
The White Citadel shopping district was a massive mall built exclusively for Guides to wander and shop.
At this hour, aside from sales associates, the whole place stood empty and quiet.
Shop attendants bowed warmly the moment they spotted her.
Lyra kept typing quick replies to return their greetings.
“What are you looking for, Ms. Kaelin?” Flynn asked.
Lyra glanced around. “A Star Brain p>
Flynn glanced at the old Star Brain wrapped around her wrist. He asked no further questions and led her straight to the correct store.
Inside, Star Brains of every design lined the displays-minimalist sleek models, flashy ornate units, every style imaginable.
She listened to the clerk’s pitch while scanning casually across the shelves.
In the end, she walked straight toward the plainest, most unassuming device.
“I’ll take this one,” she typed.
The clerk blinked in surprise. “Okay. Shall I wrap it for you p>
Guides at the White Citadel acquired goods at no cost; anything they desired was theirs to take without
payment.
Lyra held onto the unit. “No need for wrapping. I’ll keep it like this. I’ll come back if I need anything else.” “Of course. Just say the word, and we will deliver anything you require,” the clerk replied.
“Thank you,” Lyra typed.
On the shuttle ride back, she examined her new Star Brain.
It resembled an electronic ID band worn on the wrist.
Without logging into a unique personal ID, many functions stayed locked, much like a phone without a SIM card or official identity chip.
Lyra typed a question. “Is there any way to use it without logging into an account p>
Zane shook his head. “A Star Brain cannot operate without verified identity login p>
Flynn offered a suggestion. “You could toggle your existing account back and forth between your Star
Brains p>

Finished
Lyra stayed silent,
She did not fully grasp all the technical details, yet she remembered hearing back on Earth that accounts could be traced and monitored
She had bought this new Star Brain precisely so she could contact trusted people without leaving trails tied to her original profile.
Noticing her quiet mood, Garen ventured a proposal. “Ms. Kaelin, you could use my account if you need
one p>
Lyrallooked over, surprised. “What would you use, then p>
Garen’s expression was completely earnest. “My only job is protecting you. I spend nearly all my time with my squad. They pass along any important messages to me p>
