Ix tilted her head to the side, perplexed. The alien found the simulation to be disconcerting. The confusion only deepened as the machine revealed that it had memories of the killed stored inside it. A fact so bizarre that it took long minutes of thought before she gave up trying to process it completely.<em>But... If the machine was here... Then the killer...?</em><br/><br/>Her attention snapped to Tom as he made a strange noise. She had been neglecting her surroundings, the scene had changed. The exchange puzzled her slightly, not quite able to empathize with the human's emotions. Ix had heard that humans developed extremely strong attachments to their mates, given what she was seeing it must be true.<br/><br/>"How does a dead man return to hunt the living?" The vocalization was soft, not directed at anyone. Ix moved, studying the scarred man who seemed to bear no love for Tom. Perhaps the human was not as innocent as he maintained. She turned to face Tom and the computer. "If you desire to exonerate Tom, why not send this to the Judicars?"
