Epilouge

Chapter 1

I've been watching you awhile
Since you walked into my life
Monday morning, when first I heard you speak to me
I was too shy to let you know
Much too scared to let my feelings show
But you shielded me, and that was the beginning

Now at last we can talk in another way
And though I try, "I love you" is just so hard to say
If only I could be strong, and say the words I feel

My beating heart begins to race
When I turn to see your face
I remember that sweet dream which you told to me
I wanted just to be with you
So we could make the dream come true
And you smiled at me, and that was the beginning

Now at last we can talk in another way
And though I try, "I love you" is just so hard to say
If only I could be strong, and say the words I feel

Tell me what you're thinking of
Tell me if you love me now
I had so much I longed to ask you
But now the chance is gone

While your picture fades each day
In my heart the memory stays
Glowing bright, you're always smiling
And I will hold it close

A large panic had been created in the disapearance of many many people since the mysterious return of the Durandel. A more majority of workers from the Vector Industries including the CEO, Wilhelm. However, the positions were slowly being filled over the next few months by Helmer's orders. In the mean time the remaining...human employees would be on leave. Or most of them anyway.

Shion Uzuki returned to the Vector Industries with the help of a few well chosen engineering specialists to help her with the android that had accomponied her from the beginning, Kos-mos. Her co-worker, Allen Ridgley, came and went only when needed. The already shy man was most of the time silent towards his chief. Recent events showing he had a lot to tell Shion about, things he wasn't willing to reveal yet. The others of their little group, Gaignun Jr, MOMO Mizrahi, Zigurat 8, and the Elsa crew plus a rescued research and navigations realian Akita were off doing their own things. Albedo... no one knew where that lunatic had vanished. The Durandel had been badly damaged by the assimilation of the gnosis planet. Many of the workers were sick, but quickly recovering. Full repairs to the Foundation's prized ship would take months or maybe a little more than a year. In the mean time Jr, Ziggy, and a voluntary Akita would be escorting MOMO to the UMN.There was one person however that was missing entirely.

Their friend and counciler, chaos.

He was gone now, along with the remnants of his race. Out of this universe you could say. No one was sure whether they would see chaos again, or if he would come back at all. Shion had found out she was atleast half of what was known as the Phoenix race, but her heritage was painful to embrace. She wanted to ask chaos about it, about everything of the mother she never knew. Unfourtunately that aching longing would remain void it seemed. Everyone had come to a sort of silence since the incident at the gnosis homeworld known as Dead's Tear, also a block to the blackhole that served as a sort of portal for the phoenix race. That silence was eating them away. Particularly to Kos-mos, who understood none of what was happening to her.

"Oh come on! Stop misbehaving!" Shion snapped in frustration. This had been happening for the past several weeks. Once in great while Kos-mos would attempt an emergency activation when there was absolutely no logical reason to. Next when Shion would dive into her Encephalon and the android would ask when she would be allowed to awaken before even inducing the proper greetings she normally alleged.

"Chief Uzuki. I think we should stop for today." this was Eric Lino, one of her temporary co-workers.

"Alright alright just finish up with todays agenda's." Shion sighed in exasperation. She glanced over the consoles at Allen who had his back turned while working. Clamped up even more than before... no he'd never really held much back other than the fact that he liked her. But now that she knew a little more about him, he had a lot to answer for. He most likely knew why and how Kos-mos was acting strange. The black boxes inside her... everything. Allen just wouldn't do a thing about them. Flat out refused was more like it, he'd shown a stubborn side that she'd not thought possible with his character.

"Allen?" she called across the room.

"Yes, Chief?"

"May I talk to you afterwards?" She asked in her most nuetral voice possible.

"Sure, Cheif. I'll be a moment since I'm going to lock Kos-mos down." he replied without even looking at her. He wasn't cold toward her, still friendly enough, just... not as concerened it seemed anymore. Shion found that was just even more odd than the co-worker being a worry wart.

Perhaps in time little halfling... perhaps in time you will learn...the shadow watched Shion through the picture window outside a moment longer before vanishing deeper into the city's shadows.

Oyia peoples meesa back! And with the sequal (obviously). It's not a very good epilauge but right now i'm bogged down with things to do. I'll do better on the other chapters. Hope you enjoy! Review please!
