The machine made no movement when Corrine lifted her hands to softly stroke her cheek, those blue eyes simply gaze downward.  She lifted a hand, and slowly as if she was hesitating, she did the same to Corrine’s cheek.  She wondered, if she was doing it correctly...  The sensation on her own skin was...  Intriguing.  Perhaps, that sensation was the purpose of the gesture?<br/><br/>Why was this moment affecting her so?  It almost seemed as if her mind was malfunctioning.  Yet, all scans showed that both hardware and soft ware, were both running well within their designated parameters.  So, what was this strange feeling that was present within her?  No matter how hard she tried, she could not define it, nor designate it.  Whatever it was, this event was important, she wouldn’t risk losing it if things went badly on the battle field.<br/><br/>She focussed, uploading these memories into a ‘disk’ as it were, when the machine had made sure that every scrap of detail of the day thus far was represented, she produced a small smooth, black oblong object from a port within her arm.  She slowly held it out to the young woman, almost reverently.<br/><br/>“Corrine...  Will you keep this here for me?”  She said.  “It possesses the events that have just taken place here.  I want you to keep them in your care incase my physical body is destroyed during our next mission, I do not want this data wiped from my memory if I am unable to recharge... and download the newly acquired data into the main computer system.  Will you do this favor for me?"
