- HOMER NARR2-RD/PDRef@5422
-
- Seemie Molay Devore died the day Regent
- Sable arrived in Springfield West. The
- life-support monitors very gradually
- flattened until she was gone.
-
- Her remains slid away to the flashers
- for recycling. The wall signaled her
- status: first organ salvage -- kidneys,
- liver, spleen, pancreas, endocrine
- glands, pineal, pituitary, adrenals,
- thyroid and so forth; spinal tissue,
- optics, heart and lung complex; so many
- one-meter sections of bowel and small
- intestine; circulatory materials and so
- on for the longevity technology centers.
- Various compounds and essential proteins
- were extracted, pre-flash prep, flash
- dissolution, and final analysis of basic
- compounds. Peter and Ran watched
- solemnly as her container vanished from
- view. She produced her fair contribution
- to others' lives and was gone.
-
- Ran turned away, saying nothing. Peter
- watched him leave the mortuary salon. He
- knew he would never see his father
- again.
