Enough of me, time for the fic. I accept all feedback, even if it's negative…so please review...
The inspiration for this piece, along with its ending, comes from a story written by Kalus, a talentedauthor. The piece is called "WhoI Am," and it is perhaps the darkest EVA fic I've ever read. Many thanks to you, Kalus!

An Android's Tale: Foreword and Introduction
-
For many nights now, over the past several months, there has been one major thought plaguing my mind, as I skimmed along the many stories about the Hunter's Guild, trying to find something…well, different…
Let me explain.
Unlike the many heroes and legends of the PSO world and community, I was always certain, as a writer and as a fan, that there must have been some others we hadn't heard of…you know, about the stories of the more "human" characters, and I'm not talking about the ones we are all so familiar with. I mean real people…real lives, real pain, and real experiences…
And then, one night, it hit me. I wanted to try something a bit off-key...something in which someone actually...dies...
This is the end result of about a week's work.
I wrote it at first just so it'd be different...but...
In a way, we shouldn't deny the actual possibility that in PSO, there probably have been more than a few who simply didn't make it to the end, to see Dark Falz and Red Ring Rico...
There had to have been some, probably more than we'll ever know, that fell before that time, whether in the grasses of the Forest, amongst a horde of Boomas...or in the hot, sulpherous Caves...dying to the Sharks, the poisonous Lilies...even the monstrous Pan Arms had to have taken more than a few lives...
This is a story about such a group. Dedicated to all those Hunters out there who fell...who lie forgotten in unmarked graves scattered across the wildlands of Ragol...may your souls rest in peace.
