    Summary

    Jack hovers a finger over Rhys’s neural port. For a few seconds, no contact. Then he lets his finger pad land over the metal circle.

    Rhys’s eyes shoot open. “Jack–” His breath hitches. “Shit. Don’t… sneak up on me like that.” Rhys breathes out. Sighs. Makes no effort to move away, or swat at Jack’s hand, ineffectual though it would’ve been.

    The sound of Jack’s name caught on Rhys’s breath like that reaches into some part of Jack’s code that, apparently, has been specifically written to make a stab of… something go all the way through him. Well, shit. Maybe the sensory feedback coded into the holo isn’t just ones and zeros.

    =======

    AI Jack and Rhys share a moment, but neither trusts the other (or himself) enough to share more than that.
    Set post-TFBTL, partway through the Lost and Found timeline.

    Summary

    Nisha wasn’t even truly conscious of what she’d just done until the screaming bore into her skull. Arm still in the air, shaking from the effort of being held up.

    How long had she been standing here like this?

    Angel screamed again as Nisha made eye contact. Of course she’d be afraid of her, Nisha’d just shot her father in the head.

    Why wouldn’t she be next?

    But she was wrong. For once in Nisha’s life she was about to be a good person.

    Summary

    opia
    n. the ambiguous intensity of looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable—their pupils glittering, bottomless and opaque—as if you were peering through a hole in the door of a house, able to tell that there’s someone standing there, but unable to tell if you’re looking in or looking out.

    from the dictionary of obscure sorrows
    --

    Rhys left hunting behind a long time ago. Tim finds his way to Rhys' doorstep anyway.

This leads to sirens of the galaxy were collected for experiments so that Hyperion could know what Jack knows. Rhys ends up being captured as one of the sirens mixed up in this whole mess. To fight for one's freedom is one thing, but to fight to save the whole planet of Pandora is another.
