Dualscar turns and barks a few quick orders to the drones lurking behind him and sends them scrambling to the kitchen. He, conversely, does know a bit about helmsmen systems, and knows that what the child--what Sonica--needs right now is fluids, fluids, and more fluids. Some weak broth won't hurt her either, if she's up to eating it.

He then walks further into the room, until he's standing behind the Psiioniic. Cautiously, he reaches out and puts one hand on his back, between his shoulder blades, before he addresses his attention back to Sonica. He gives the new commands in a much softer, gentler tone of voice.

"Sonica, I order you to not answer any longer to helmsman, helmswwoman, or helmsgirl. Henceforth, you will answer only to your name, Sonica Adalt." He pauses, considering. "Tell the Psiioniic wwhat happened to your lusus wwhen you wwere commissioned."

If her lusus is still alive, he'll send a drone out after it.
