She laughed, "when time permits" she walked up and offered her hand to Adrian to shake. "I am Alima Sallah" she said with pride.
With her arm reached out and in this close proximity, Adrian could see that her red tented glasses had a small mount on either side of the support. These little mounts appear to be connected to either side of her head. The discoloration up her left arm was the final clue.
The system on her arm and the glasses were all part of a Direct Neural Implant system. Being a bit of a tech nut, Adrian knew about the system which was tested by the NAIS during the mid 3050's. However it wouldn't come in to wide scale use till much later. This system however was linked in to a computer instead of a mech. The discovery was clearly fascinating to him.
