Interlude 7. Dragon says Weld is a Case 53, Hannah asks if he has the mark, and Dragon says it’s branded into his heel.
*looks back*
Oh yeah, there it is:
“He’s a good kid with a good record,” Dragon chimed in from the computer, “Ferrous biology, absorbs metals through his skin. Strong, tough, good grades across the board, high marks in the tactics simulations. Likable, and a scan of the web shows feedback for him is higher than average, which is impressive, considering he’s one of the Case 53s.”
“He’s got the tattoo?” Hannah asked. “The mark is branded into his heel, not tattooed, but yes.”
Apparently I also understood what this meant, because I responded with “Ahh… Upsilon. We meet again.”
And then I managed to forget it by the time 9.1 rolled around.
