Kim couldn't believe her eyes.
"That's all we need. Another one of those things on the loose"

Talim sighed. "Let's see under the mask, shall we?", she said painfully as she searched for the mask to take it off.

Kim rested against the nearest wall. She didn't have time to stay, but felt she had to stay.

As Talim took off the mask, the robotic arm reached up and grabbed Talim's shoulder, beginning to break it. Talim pulled away, sobbing. Under the mask was her brother, morphed into a cyborg.

(This is her adoptive brother...)

"Talim?" Kim moved towards her, speaking softly.
"What's going on?"

Emma watched mortified as the thing choked Talim. When Talim pulled off the mask and started sobbing, Emma was thoroughly confused.

Talim hid her face in her hands as the cyborg calmly reached out to touch Talim. "Talim? Oh thank God...I thought I'd killed you...forgive me...the programming...I couldn't stop.", the cyborg spoke with a calm and yet sad voice.

Kim backed away from them both. Not quite knowing what to do.
She had a plane to catch in less than an hour, but she felt an obligation to John and to the kids.
She sat on a chair, near where she dumped her packed bag and sighed.

Emma eyed the machine and then looked at Kim.
"Go if you have to." Emma said, "I'll help take care of this place."

Talim stayed silent as the Cyborg propped himself up and hugged her, enveloping her in machinery and human flesh.

Kim looked over at Emma.
"I can catch a later flight. It's not a problem. I just need to go make a call"

Standing up she walked away and pulled out her cell phone and began dialling.

"Ok." Emma said and walked over to where Talim was being hugged by the mysterious cyborg...

Kim stood away from the others as she waited on her call being answered.
The dialling tone came to a stop and was answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey Alex..it's Kim. There's been a bit of a major problem here, I'll have to catch a later flight."
There was silence
"Alex?"

"Alright, just call me and let me know when your boarding the flight. Please get here as soon as you can...I need you" he sighed

"I will, I promise. I'll see you soon Alex."

There was an awkward pause between them.

"Kim?" he spoke up

"I know Alex...I know. I'll be there as soon as I can make it away from here. Bye"

Kim hung up the phone and hung her head and sighed.

Talim touched the cyborg's face. "Alyn....what did they do to you?", she sobbed.

Kim made her back to the others and watched in confusion.

Alyn looked up at her. "I don't know what happened...I was taken away and then next thing I knew...I was this...", he said, motioning to his body.
