[Well, yeah, but she never anticipated being resuscitated like this. She's quiet for a moment as she tries to process it all, so many questions falling away to answers she probably shouldn't have, but she wants them all the same.]

And I can never see them again? My father?

Laurel, I'm so sorry. I know how hard this must be for you. [ There's honesty there in her face, the honesty of an orphan who had her family just long enough to learn that she would never have one ever again, to get a taste of what it was like and lose it. That's the hardest loss to bear. ] But it's for their safety as much as yours. There's too much that we don't know still about how the chassis will function.

[Chassis. It's hard not to feel self-conscious about it when she knows that Skye is referring to her body now. Her arms curl around herself and she tries to glance around the room to get her bearings more.]

He's ... I can't just leave him alone, thinking he lost another daughter.

Technically, he did. [ Strictly speaking, they weren't sure how much of Laurel would actually be Laurel. The technology was still in its nascent stages, testing. ]

[Technically, yes. She knows the technicalities. But at the same time, she can't help but be angry at that because she's right here. How can she be dead if she's here, talking to Daisy.

She knows the answer. She knows that in a lot of ways she's just a computer program in a body who thinks she's Laurel Lance, but she's not ready to accept that yet.]

So how long are you going to keep me locked in here?
