1_million_words word of the day prompt: Inoculate.
The greatest gift
"There's not enough." Danny recalls Steve's face and Steve's voice as clearly as if it were yesterday. Military grade vaccine, special issue for key law enforcement operatives. Enough to inoculate four people against the lethal new plague sweeping the islands. Not enough to save five.
"There's not enough," and Danny didn't fight him, couldn't fight him, because when could he ever turn Steve McGarrett from a course of action he'd set his mind to?
"There's not enough," and Danny sits in the sun and watches his grandchildren run and gives bittersweet thanks for the greatest gift anyone ever gave him.

Obsolete
"There's nothing you can do, Danny," Kono says, glancing over to where the combat unit stands at parade rest in the corner of the bullpen, powered down and staring blankly into space. "They lack relevance in the modern pacifist era, you heard the Governor. They're decommissioning all of them, orders from the highest level." She touches Danny sympathetically on the arm. "It's not like he'll mind, Danny. Robots don't have feelings, you know that." And of course Danny knows that, he's worked with AI units before. It's just that… robots may not have feelings, but humans aren't quite so lucky...
