Sharon floated through the breaching holes in the hull of the ship, and down into a corridor. "Has graves registration accounted for all the bodies?"

"All but him."
The man was seated on a throne right off the cover of one of the Star Rider novels.
"He's still alive in there?"
"Yes mum. we've cut off his hardware connections to the ship, it wasn't easy." said the officer
The man was encased in a pressure suit, that, suit was connected outward to the ship, and she could see some of those connections ran through sealed grommets into his helmet.
The implants were invasive.
"What does tech research think?"
"It looks like a direct neural interface but, it's deeper, Mum. We aren't sure we can disconnect this man-at least and have him be alive after."
"Have an RTO set up a live feed to my Uncle on Kowloon." she said, "He saw the war, saw the Manei Domini."
"Aye mum."
"Who were you?" asked Sharon to man in the pressure suit.
