<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Jerrod McKenzie</strong></span><br/><hr/><br/>He had.  Once.  Jerrod had discovered a set of his older brother's e-chips hidden behind a secret panel at the back of a filing cabinet in his study - when Eddard was out of the house, Jerrod was given use of the study as a place for him to work away from the more public spaces of the house.  At first, he hadn't touched them, merely left them right where they were in case someone discovered he had found them.  But when no such action took place, Jerrod had gotten up his courage to grab a couple of them and use the images (they were basic cheesecake photos, but for a 16-year old boy, it was enough) a time or three.  However, one particular day, he had gone to exchange the ones he had and discovered the rest were gone from their hiding space.<br/><br/>When no one confronted him about the chips, Jerrod had - through some very careful deduction - guessed that either Eddard himself, or his father (practically the<em>only</em>one who could make the eldest McKenzie do anything) had moved them, and didn't realize that some were missing.  At that point, Jerrod carved out a place for the three chips he had, taping them inside an air vent in his room to evade discovery.  He could<em>not</em>replace them, because then the question of where these new chips came from would arise...and there were only so many men in the house to point fingers at.  Getting caught with those chips would have been...well, Jerrod never gave thought to the severity of the reaction.<br/><br/>As they finished up for the second time, and Alice climbed off him to drive the rest of the way to the lab, he nodded.  "Yeah, o...okay," he yawned.  The hormones in his brain were trying to get him to shut down after having exploded in his brain from all the wonderful sensations he had just experienced.  To his credit, he was dressed and looking semi-presentable by the time that they showed up at the lab.  At least, more presentable than Alice was.  Plus side to being the guy in this scenario - Jerrod didn't have to worry about the same thing that Alice did.  The car parked, Alice and Jerrod both stepped out.  The SolForce lab was a simple two-story affair of concrete and simply-designed windows.  (Though on the other side of those windows were armored shutters capable of stopping rocket blasts.)<br/><br/>"So, uh...where are we supposed to go?"  They were inside now, and Jerrod was trying to read the board for all the various labs that were there.  He knew he was here for some medical tests, but he wasn't seeing a medical lab...part of him was starting to wonder why he was here and not at the local hospital.  They could do their tests there, right?<br/><br/>Fortunately, Alice knew exactly where to go - the Biological Sciences Lab, third sub-floor - and could come up with a reasonable explanation for why they had to do there, yes?  It would keep Jerrod diverted for just long enough to get there.  On the lift ride down, she would be able to feel the wetness slowly starting to slide down inside her, collecting at the tip of her gates.  Fortunately, before it snuck out around the edges of her suit, Jerrod was handed over to the med-techs there for a series of preliminary tests.<br/><br/>Of course, the head reminded her, she needed to be here while they were running the tests, and performing the procedure.  (Also, in case the McKenzies showed up.)  The good news was she just needed to stay in the building - they would page her over the PA if they specifically needed her for something.<br/><br/>That, at least, meant she could go clean up.
