Summary: Just the inner musings of some unknown X5, about the destruction of Manticore. This is really really short.

Author's Note: I posted this once before but got no reviews, so I'm trying again. Please let me know what you think. We keep having like two weeks with no shows and then one week with an episode, so I'm not getting much material to work with and my muses are not cooperating with me. Please help. The more reviews I get the more courage I have to write.

The real world. The real world sucks. I took Com and Verbal Usage, I know what "sucks" means. And the outside world does it quite well.

How is this better than Manticore? Is freedom really worth this much? At Manticore we had food, shelter, and others of our own kind. Now out in the
REAL WORLD, we are starving, dying, alone. We are being hunted down like dogs (I don't understand why anyone would hunt dogs but I think the expression fits), by the government who created use. I heard Manticore was destroyed by one of our own, X5-452, one of the traitors.

What gives her the right? What makes her think we wanted to be out of Manticore? Not all of us can survive. The X5s can survive. We are more adequately prepared for life on the outside. We were trained to blend in with the populous, it was necessary for our missions. But what about the young X6s, the 5 and 6 year olds, who have little more than basic training. How are they suppose to "fit in"? Or any X7, they couldn't blend in even if they wanted to.

Better yet, what about the nomolies? I heard they escaped too. How are we suppose to defend against them and the world around us, and not have the "norms" figure out what we are?

Now how can the Blue Lady protect us from all of this?
