A hint of a devilish grin appeared on Cindy as she confessed, "You would be correct. My programming doesn't prevent me from lying, but it does focus on my ability to anticipate the needs of others. I can give you a couple of days, but that's it."
Cindy then returned to examining Mister Dalton. She actually had a very kind and attentive bedside manner, always offering a warm smile and soft tone of her voice, yet never spoke in a condescending way. It didn't take her long to run a standard recalibration and diagnostic.
When she had finished, she said, "Well Mister Dalton, I've recalibrated your implant, but the variance was slightly more than from your previous maintenance updates. Based on my scans, I took a sample from your optic nerve for testing. I want to do a culture to rule out a mild infection. You haven't visited Risa in the last 6 months, have you? Certain infections seem to be more common there and aren't always easy to detect."
Mike shifted uncomfortably and cleared his throat before responding, "Um...no...no such visits..."
Still smiling, Cindy continued, "Well, that's good. It will still take about 48 hours to complete, just to be sure. I'll let you know. You're free to go for now and I can let you know the results when the lab results are in. I suggest not leaving until I clear you, as it could begin affecting your other eye if we need to treat you."
