 The job had been easy, at least for the two of them, and now they were ahead of schedule. Extraction was scheduled for the next morning and they were supposed to maintain radio silence in the meantime. So they found an old barracks there on the planet and settled in for the night, their quarry set aside until it was time to make it to the LZ next morning.

It hadn't been long since Delta had been implanted. He was still getting used to sharing a mind, still getting used to having another voice present in his head, and he made the decision not to pull the AI as he strove to get used to the sensation. It affected things, of course, but he tried not to let it intrude on anything, whether it was training, or socializing during down time. 

Carolina helped him get through it, of course. She took things like that upon herself. They'd never quite cemented a relationship after their run-in at the nightclub, but there had always been something between them. She allowed him to tease her and teased right back with no hesitation, so any occasion when they found themselves talking late into the night like this was really nothing out of the ordinary. He walked with her back to her quarters, leaned against the jamb, and gestured with one arm as he spoke. 

"Here's the crazy thing," he said, continuing their discussion of the changes he'd experienced with the AI. "I'm getting used to the whole idea of, not so much never having any privacy, but the idea that he's a part of that. I don't know if that describes it very well."
