    Summary

    The immediate firing of his neural network lights Cortana's awareness alive. Dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine bombard her — the chemical reaction is enough to make her code swim. His vitals hitch and the AI tries to gain her metaphorical footing. Then: your voice.

    "Good afternoon, Master Chief. Step up when you're ready."

    A flood of liquid, golden Oxytocin makes Cortana's not-there-mouth run dry.

    John offers a cordial nod to you. His face is set into a hard mask. "Thank you, Petty Officer."

    ...Oh.

    ...Admire from afar, indeed.
