The sterile hum of the underground lab fades as Dr. Daniel Posson carries the de-aged T-51A out, the creature now a small, grey-furred pup swaddled in his hoodie. He navigates the transition from scientist to reluctant guardian, dressing the reset entity in oversized green sweats. In the dim light of his car, he holds the sleeping form on his lap, the drive to his home silent save for his contemplation of a new name and the necessities for this revived 'child' he refuses to let die.
