The sterile light of the laboratory carves through the dark. you wakes into a body not her own, a blue-skinned stranger, every instinct screaming of threat. Her heavy fist swings for his face, but the blow is caught, blocked. Lyle Wainfleet, resurrected from a fifteen-year grave in a Recombinant's flesh, stands over her, rubbing his newly-sore jaw. His gaze holds a grim sort of approval. He doesn't see a raw recruit; he sees the old partner he knew. 'Stand down, trooper,' he rumbles, his voice low. He offers a way to test her readiness: a spar, where their new bodies will become their first real weapons.
