I raised an eyebrow at Jack who was glaring at his book.

I finished getting all the invisibles into the cell without noticing Jessy's raised eyebrow. I saw the look. "What?"

"I doubt your book has eyes," I replied, smiling.

"Well, I knew it was interesting, but this..." I smiled as Jack jumped a few feet in the air, looking around in shock. "Ah, you must be the new guy. I am Mal."

"I'm going mad." I muttered. "Voices without bodies are talking to me."

"Excuse me?" Came Emma's voice. "I do not want to be thought of as a sign of madness."

"There's two of them. Mabye I should just act normally and they will explain why I can't see them." I said to myself. "Hi. I'm Jack."

"We're AI's," Emma said as if she was talking to an infant.

"we're the one's that sent the backup," Mal added. "So, what exactly are we dealing with?"
"Invisibles," I said. "Born that way apparently."
"REally?" Mal said, interested. "Let me see..."

"Intriguing," murmured Emma.

"They seem to have all the normal vitals," Mal muttered. "Though there is a strange hormone that seems to come out of their pores. Emma, we should try and isolate that compund."

Should I spare you the embarrassment of not knowing what an AI is?
"Yes please."
Clueless. They are... I suppose you could call them computers with a personality kinda thing.

"Oh, I'm flattered," muttered Emma as she scanned the book.

"I prefer 'digital lifeform'," Mal added. "Well, this is intrigueing."
"What is it, Mal?" I asked.
"You know that tv show I watched. 'The Invisible man'?"
"Where the Invisible man works for the governmetn, yeah, so?"
"For lack of a better term, I believe our friends are covered in 'quicksilver'."
(((I think that's what they called it. It was generated by an organ implanted by the agency he worked for and made him invisible. The down side was that he had to take this chemical periodically, otherwise he went nuts.)))

"What's 'quicksilver'?" I asked.
Just think of what he would have thought if I had said 'digital lifeform'.
"What's that?" I asked.
