For a long moment, Beverly simply... stares at the screen uncomprehendingly. The words are clear as day but it's not what she was expecting. She's not sure what she was expecting, really. But it dredges up more memories of the fleet - how Julian had shivered when she said the word "augment" and how Kirk had Khan's blood flowing through his veins and how Kitty casually called herself a mutant - no. Maybe she would have reacted differently before the fleet, though she'd rather think she wouldn't. Hoped she wouldn't.
In any case, abandoning Julian is not an option. Without saying a word, she sets the PADD down and reaches across the table to take his hand in hers.
