"Tasha?" Dave asked to be sure.
Tasha offered a small, almost sad smile. "Yes, it's good to see you again, Dave." Her voice was calm, but there was an unsettling coldness to it. "Do you have anything to say before these gentlemen take you for... experimentation?"

Tasha's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes betrayed a flicker of something, guilt? Regret? It was hard to tell. "You've got some of it right, Dave. But the rest... Well, you'll have plenty of time to figure out what's true and what's not once you're where you're going."
