Victor and John Clare in “Unfinished Business”

Victor

If Proteus was any model to go by, she'll pick up language quickly. Even more quickly since I reduced the trauma of the electrical charge. It will come back to her. So too human interaction and, well, perhaps memory.

John Clare

And then?

Victor

I don't know. Proteus was just beginning to regain the memory of his former life, when you killed him.

John Clare

You don't need to remind me of my sins. Just never forget your own.

Victor

And this? Creating another sin?

John Clare

Atoning for your first. All the love and companionship you denied me, visit upon her. She is our future, Creator. Tread carefully.
