Manny showed them inside. There was a horrible stench coming from the place. Like a sordid mix of rust and blood. In the center of a room was a chair with a black dried up puddle underneath it. Though Evangeline couldn't see it, she could feel the stickiness under her feet and desperately hoped that it wasn't blood, but knowing that Manny was a surgeon, she begged to differ.

Johnny would be able to see all matter of different contraptions and terminals along a counter. They all worked in unison to some capacity.

"So what ails you?" Manny asked as he cleared his throat, spitting into a nearby metal bucket. "Something about your eyes, I heard."

"Jacob said it might be a connectivity error. I had these ... uhm." She slightly pulled down her lower eyelid and leaned forward so that he could see better. "These are lenses based on Institute-technology", she explained. "But there are also a pair of adapters connected to my optical nerves, emitting light through my eyeballs and projecting vision onto these lenses."

Manny just nodded with a snort. "Uh huh. So what happened exactly?"

She figured she couldn't tell him about Shrike. "I was kicked in the head", she said.

"Hah, like the song? Ain't that a kick in the head?"

Evangeline did not find anything funny about it.

"Right, so you ..." He examined the side of her head finding an area blackened and blue. "Ah, I see. Pretty vicious kick there. It's all bruised up. You are lucky you didn't suffer from a concussion." He then felt a little harder on the side. "Hmm, are you having something under the skin here?"

"Yeah, uhm ... that's my vision panel. I can adjust my vision there, depending on the situation. But it doesn't work properly now."

"Turn it on", he instructed, taking a sip from his cigarette before he stubbed out the cigarette against the heel of his shoe.

Evangeline sighed and did as instructed, gently touching the side of her temple to boot her vision. Immediately she was met with perpetual error messages and glitches and a flickering vision.

"Bear with it", Manny instructed as he watched her eyes from the front. The lights were constantly flickering like statics on a broken terminal screen. "That ain't right", he huffed.
