Katherine beams herself to Albia and is sent to CyberLife.

BEFORE I CONTINUE: Toby Simpson makes an appearance in today's story, and I just want to say that I never mean any disrespect tword him. I can't figure out how you can flame me for it, but I'm just covering baces.

And so it goes...

Meanwhile, in Cambridge, England, a lone employee was checking mail. His name was Jack Zuckerman. He was happily ignoring all the e-mails with norns attached to them stating that "This norn loves to push food!" and "This norn is weird... It runs from plants just because I smacked it for eating one..." and "What IS that big green thing that beats my norns? I sent you a copy of it..." However, he saw another email. This one sounded different... almost intellegent. It stated that the norn atached was an actual human. Jack had not dealt with alot of prank e-mails, so he downloaded the file ("Katherine.exp") and imported the norn immediatly.

At first, he was dissapointed. It looked just like a purple mountian norn, only with a Fox head. But then the norn gave him a big shock.

"That was WEIRD! Everything was black for a while..." Said the norn, whom you know as Katherine. Katherine then took a look out the monitor. What she usually saw, a blond-haired girl and a yellow floating robot, staring at her was not there. No, this was a man, 20 years old or so, with almost red hair. "Who- Who are you?" she asked.

"I'm Jack, from CyberLife." Jack typed in. "How did you get in there?"

Katherine told Jack the whole story, from Jenna's first import, to Jenna's kisspoping, to Karr's birth, to the grendel, to being in the asylum, and now to here. Jack picked up a phone an punched some numbers. "Hello? May I speak to Toby Simpson? Yeah. Mr. Simpson? You gotta see this. What is it? If I told you, you wouldn't believe me. You're comming? Great." Then he hung up. He typed to Katherine: "Toby's comming down to see you."

"Excuse me?" gasped Katherine. Just then, she saw a figure come down the stairs. It was Toby.

"What was so amazing?" He asked.

"See that norn?" Jack pointed.

"Yeah. Another Highlander somebody send us?" Toby replied.

"Nope. That's an actual human." Jack answered.

"You've been playing too long." quipped Toby. Then he sat down to the computer, took note that the 'norns' name was Katherine, and typed "Katherine what"

"Why speak norn to me?" Asked Katherine. "My gosh, I'm human too. I just LOOK like a norn."

Toby scooted back. This was not happening. He knew Creatures was designed to be upgradable, but this was totaly unexpected. Jack took the controls and typed in, "Tell Toby the story you told me."

So, again, Katherine told the whole HoloDeck story. Toby sat in awe. "When she gets older," he thought, "This girl is going on my staff. I claim her." Then, Toby typed to Katherine, "What if I send an employee over to your home to check this out?"

"That'd be fine with me." Katherine replied. Then, she watched the cursor move tword the file menu. "Wait... before you export me, can you help me with something?"

Back at Katherine's home, Susan & Blip waited for CyberLife to send Katherine back. All of a sudden, the computer shouted, "You've got mail!"

Susan scrambled to read the mail. It read like this:

Dear Susan,
We had a nice chat with Katherine, and she has agreed to let us come to the 'states and see the HoloDeck. We look forward to meeting you, and here is your friend back!
Toby Simpson.

PS: Don't worry, we also mailed Katherine's mom a clean bill of health from the 'asylum'. So Katherine is safe!

They downloaded the file, and imported Katherine, first into Albia, and then into Earth.

"I got to meet TOBY SIMPSON..." Katherine mused, her first words now that she was back on earth.

"And I hate you for it!" responded a jealous Susan.

"Please, Please, let's talk science. What was Export like?" Said Blip.

"It was dark." Katherine replied. Then she turned to Susan. "I met Toby!" She whispered. Susan wresteled her to the floor, and they both rolled in a playful fit of laughter.
