"Eight Favorability points?" Renee Sinclair's eyes widened in astonishment. "I actually... earned Favorability points from Felix Preston?"
The mechanical female voice replied, [Yes, Host. With an increase of eight Favorability points, the pain you're enduring will be reduced by a corresponding eight percent.]
Renee Sinclair nodded. She subconsciously went to press a hand to her chest, but a twitch of her wrist reminded her that her hands were full. She couldn't touch the spot over her heart, which was still aching with a dull numbness.
"How much time do I have left?" she asked in a cold voice, staring at the steps beneath her feet.
The mechanical female voice: [Host, you have five months left. If you still haven't completed the mission in five months, the system will automatically initiate the obliteration procedure. When that happens, both you and I will be wiped from existence.]
