Scandium: used for space shuttles- Cameron exploring the stars
-o0o-
Cameron's head is tilted back, her eyes scanning the black ink of the sky as she studies the bulbs of white light that illuminate it. She stores each star's location into her database, though she's not sure what she may need it for.
"You're staring like you haven't seen the stars before." Sarah's voice filters into her ears, eyes raised skyward as she steps beside the machine.
"I haven't. In the future, the smoke from the war hides the stars."
Sarah shakes her head, finding it impossible to imagine a world without stars filling the sky. "They're so beautiful." Her eyes lower back to the machine, though Cameron's gaze remains on the stars, drinking in the expanse of the nighttime sky.
"Yes, beautiful." Cameron replies, voice dull and dry, and Sarah knows that she's heard but doesn't really understand.
