up in her eyes. She sat up and enfolded her father in a tight hug.
“I am so sorry, dad, for how I treated you before, I know you would never have purposely done anything to hurt mom. I thought I would never get a chance to tell you how wrong I was when I saw you go on the deep space mission,” Sabrina explained in choked sobs.
At this point a doctor entered with Henry following close behind. The doctor immediately moved to Sabrina's side and began to check her vitals. Henry stood at the foot of the bed with a look of amazement upon his face.
“What did you do?” asked Henry.
Liam didn't answer but instead just stared at Henry until Henry became uncomfortable and looked away.
“Well.....I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. So is she going to be okay?” Henry asked the doctor.
The doctor continued to examine her for a few more minutes before he turned to the three.
“She will be fine...actually I can't find anything wrong with her but I would like to make a few more in depth tests before we release her.”
“Uh....is it all right if I get a blood sample? I would like to test her current nanites to make sure they are working properly.” asked Henry.
“I don't see any reason why not....hand me that syringe on the counter,” said the doctor.
Henry handed the syringe to the doctor who then turned, located a vein, and pressed the needle into Sabrina's arm.....or attempted to at least. As soon as he began to push the needle into her arm it was suddenly repulsed by a shimmering energy field.
“Um....that’s not possible,” said Henry.
Everyone turned and looked at Henry.
“I think I had better explain that more. You don’t know but Miss Wellmo volunteered for the Paladin program. Paladins , through the enhancements, have enhanced strength and reflexes. They also have the regenerative health as well as the superior learning abilities. However, all of these abilities are not as superior as knight’s abilities are. The Paladins also lack that sword deflection ability as well as the kinetic shield. Or at least they are supposed to lack the kinetic shield. I don't understand how it is she has this ability,” explained Henry.
“It is simple, she isn't a Paladin , she is a Templar ,” Liam calmly stated.
“Really? How is this possible? She was tested for the knight enhancement process and she failed. She would have died if she had undergone that procedure,” explained Henry.
“Let's just say I was able to fix her nanites the only way I know how they are supposed to work,” Liam explained.
Henry cocked his head to the side as he thought about this for a few moments before he answered.
“So you essentially made her a Templar ? But if you could do that then you can do that for anyone,” Henry said excitedly.
“No,” Liam said simply.
“But why? If we have a million Templar knights then we would crush the Shenkar when they returned or even better yet we could go on the offensive and hit them at their home world. Why would you not want to assure the survival of the human race?” Henry asked a bit hotly.
“For many reasons, first and foremost I fight to defend, not to kill. I will not be part of wiping out another sentient race no matter how barbaric they can be. Second reason, I am not positive I could do this for just anyone, I was mostly guessing when I did this. So who is to say I could do it again? Third reason, even if I could replicate
