Author’s Note:

Muahahahahaha! Your attempts to terminate Seero only make her stronger, Mr. Herald! Like actually, you should really just stop trying to terminate her, you know?

And Commander Elise saves the day! Well, since I dropped that foreshadow about Elise preparing a contingency for Seero, had to bring it into play somehow! Without, you know, accidentally having a character from another novel terminate the plot, however lore-appropriate that scenario may have been. But it’s ok, Elise, you don’t have to do all the work this time. Cause Seero is a lot more efficient than your squishy organic allies were!

For those of you who didn’t read the Faceless Minion, want more detail about what exactly Commander Elise did, and don’t mind spoilers:

The non-standard energy is qi. At the point in the Faceless Minion where Commander Elise met Seero, she had become a powerful cultivator with a cyborg cultivation. That’s also how she hid the contingency protocol from Seero’s upgraded processors, since she could just hide some qi in Seero’s organic half instead of as a program in her electronic memory.
Commander Elise also eventually received Iesnuorium-powered upgrades during the Faceless Minion, in her case a universal power replicator rather than a universal power dampener. So she already had those kinds of blueprints at the ready.

Anyways!

Where in the Source did Seero end up? Will she make her way back to the Material Plane? Will Commander Elise have to do any more of the work? Tune in next time, to find out!
