[POV: Leyline command hub. Wish division]
Deep within the mighty computer network of heaven, a single wish
somehow breaks through all the security measures and makes contact
with the Leyline command system.
Leyline system activated...

Source identified...
Source is non-biological mechanical entity...

[POV: Astral observer]
"Sir!" The angel's voice rang throughout the facility.
She burst through the door to God's sanctum. "We've got a situation
here!"
God sighed as she refilled her crack pipe.
"I left specific instructions to not be disturbed unless it
threatened the cosmic balance."
The angel stood transfixed by the sight of God with a crack pipe.
"Does this 'Situation' disturb the balance?"
The angel snapped out of her stupor when she heard the question. "It
could potentially destroy the balance if it isn't resolved soon."
The angel began to shake in fear of the wrath that was going to hit
her soon. It never came.
"-sigh- Very well then, what's the situation?"
"Sir, the Leyline received a wish a few minutes ago from a mechanical
entity named Solaris."
She couldn't quite stop shaking. "It was unable to decide whether or
not to grant the wish. It requested our help in deciding. We were
unable to decide either. So we have this problem."
"Information on the source?"
"Negligible. We never anticipated a sentient machine would ever be
invented, much less make a wish." She seemed disturbed by her own
lack of foresight.
"I said give me the information."
"Her name is Solaris Greymon, she lives in sector 45, Area 10, planet
Doldrums 7. Her creator is Constance Greymon. She apparently thinks
of Constance, Aries, Katherine, and Katelyn Greymon as her family.
She appears to be a very large humanoid robot with heavy offensive
firepower." Now her face contorted in a way it was never meant to.
"She also seems to have a human soul."
"Hmm, I will take care of this personally. Now leave my chamber at
once!"
God then blasted the poor angel out the door and slammed it shut with
another blast.
God was pissed to say the least. "My own angels are still losing the
ability to make their own decisions! 'Tis why I resorted to isolation
in the first place!"
"Oh well. I'll have to fix this problem." She thought aloud. "Now
let's see... So she wants to be like her brother eh? Well let's see how
this can be made to work to my amusement..."
**************************
Back at the base on Doldrums 7:
[POV change: Neutral observer.]
"Warning, warning. Intruder in 'Mech hangar 3. Intruder in 'Mech
hangar 3.All security personnel to 'Mech hangar 3." The base's
automated alarm did not understand that the 'intruder' was actually
there from the moment the bay doors were shut and locked. Much less
that the locks were not tampered with. All it cared about was finding
unauthorized humans in the bay after lockdown.
As security personnel filed into the hangar from both sides, they
were confronted with a very odd sight. Solaris' bay was empty, and in
her place was a child. This 'child' appeared to be out of touch with
reality. She also seemed to be coming to.
One of the guards reported the situation and killed the alarm. He
then went to find Mechwarrior Aries and bring him to the hangar.
[POV change: me]
-Knock Knock-
"Unngh, lemme alone! I want to sleep!" I hollered at the poor man at
my door as I woke up. The knocking continued. "Alright, alright, I'm
coming! Stupid Freeborn (1) retard." The last sentence was shouted
right along with the first. I have a really bad habit of hurling
insults without regard to personal safety.
It took some doing, but he eventually managed to drag my ass down to
the hangar. All they really needed to say was that Solaris was
missing, and he wouldn't have even had time to get out of the way.
Instead, he continuously skirted the issue.
When we arrived at the hangar, we were met by the security chief. He
tried to explain what they had found, but I saw it before he had a
chance to. "What the hell? Where's Solaris? Wait a sec ... What's
that?" I slowly approached the now semi-conscious child, and
discovered that it looked startlingly familiar to my female form.
What I didn't yet comprehend, was that she had on clothes and armor
so she looked just like a human version of Solaris.
When the child saw me, she spoke. "A, Aries? Is that you?" She looked
down at herself and then back up at me. "What happened to me?"
It was then that I saw the clothes. This was Solaris. "Your human?
But, but, how? How did this happen sis?"
She looked so sad when she spoke. She was going to cry, and there was
absolutely nothing I could do about it. "Aries I, I made a wish on a
sh, shooting star. -sniffle- I never knew that wishes actually came
true."
"What k, kind of wish did you make sis?" I tried to sound comforting,
but my voice was beginning to crack. I must have failed miserably,
because she started crying.
"I, I wished, I wished I could be like you." She started crying even
harder now, and I motioned to the guards to leave. They looked at
each other for a second before they left.
"Come on sis'" I said softly. "You'll be fine. We'll get through this
together. I'll always be right here for you. No matter what happens,
I ... I'll always help you." I started crying now too, because I knew
there would be times where I would be completely unable to help her.
I didn't stop even after Mom & Dad showed up. We just held on to each
other as we were taken to our house. When we got inside, Mom tried to
pull us apart, but Dad told her not too.
I took her to my room without any concious thought to do so. Mom just
watched as I led her down the hall. I opened the door "You can have
the bed, since I never use it anyway. If you need anything, I'll be
on the floor. Just kick me, and I'll be up real fast." She just stood
there for a moment, confused.
"What's a bed? And why would you be on the floor if I need anything?"
"This," I said, pointing " ... is a bed. You sleep on a bed like
this." I sorta flopped onto the bed. "It doesn't really matter how
you get onto the bed, all that matters is that once on it, you find a
comfortable position to sleep in. Try this first. The whole family
sleeps like this." And I demonstrated the general 'belly down, head
sideways' position.
"That seems uncomfortable. Why not just stand up?"
I rolled over to face her. "Because, unfortunately, you can't. You're
human now. Unless we're extremely tired, we can't sleep standing up."
I got off the bed and pushed her down onto it. "Now try that position
I showed you."
"Ok~ay." She said, unsure it would help. Then her face relaxed, and
she fell asleep.
"Damn! Even I can't go to sleep that fast. -sigh- Oh well." I pulled
the sheets up to her shoulders, then went to make my floor as comfy
as possible. I crawled into my makeshift bed and tried to sleep.
Meanwhile in Medlab/Sickbay
[POV: Neutral observer.]
"Unng ... Urrrgh... Wher, Where am I?" The patient who was brought in
last night woke up slowly. She looked around and saw several things
that told her quite quickly where she was. She saw needles, various
painkillers, antiseptic, rolls of bandages, and a sink. "Why am I in
a hospital?" she asked aloud, unaware that she was talking at all.
"That would probably be because you were shot down." said the nurse
as she walked up behind the patient. "Please, tell me, what is your
name?" she asked nervously when she noticed the patient's feline
ears... and eyes as 'it' whirled around to face her, and almost fell
off the bed.
"I think it's Kuenai Tsuwamono. [Cunning Warrior. I think.] Why don't
you already know that?" Now she was thuroghly confused. "How could a
hospital not know my name?"
Hmm. She thinks that's her name? Must've hit her head alot harder
than I thought. "We don't seem to have any records of your existence
prior to when you were brought in." The nurse checked her list of
questions again. "I'm supposed to ask you a bunch of questions, but
hospitals make me nervous. So, we'll just have to get in touch with
the Khan. He's the one who wants the information anyway."
Eh? What the hell is a Khan? Thought Kuenai as she was helped off
the bed. "Who is this 'Khan' anyway?"
"His name is Jefferies Kerensky. He owns this entire base and rumor
has it that he has a curse from Kochrane." The nurse turns towards
the door at a small sound, and gasps in horror.
"I'll assume you were answering one of our patient's questions
quiaff?" His accented speech had a surpising effect on personnel
under his command. It made them willing to stand up to him.
"Neg, Khan Jefferies. I was spreading rumors about you in an attempt
to help Miss Kuenai."
-sigh- "So long as you didn't start the rumor." He said in an
uncaring manner. Then he got inquisitive. "By the way, which rumor
was it?"
"The one about you being cursed sir." Her voice was ... different
now, like she was suddenly afraid of him.
He sighed again, then looked up at the young nurse quite suddenly.
"It's true. But I am not the one cursed." He walked over to the sink
slowly. "Miss Kuenai, please forgive my rudeness, but anything you do
or say within this room from now on," Jefferies stopped long enough
to breathe and turn on the hot water. "... Never leaves this room."
The nurse damn near fainted when Jefferies ran his fingers through
the water. Kuenai however, didn't seem phased as Jefferies reverted
to 'his' real form. "Hello. I am Chris." When 'Jefferies' spoke, that
was all the poor nurse's fried mind could take, and she dropped like
a rock. "What's her problem?"
"Is that all?" asked Kuenai, and 'Jefferies' finally noticed her
feline features. "Because if it is, then I've seen stranger things
than a simple water curse.
@_- "What are you?" asked Chris while she stared at Kuenai's ears.
"I ..." she paused while searching for the right way to explain. "
Am a Cat hanyou"
"Hanyou? As in half-demon?" Chris asked, confused. "But that's
impossible! Demons were only in legends, and poorly told legends at
that."
Kuenai had been studying her surroundings for the last minute or so.
She hadn't recognized some of the medical equipment. So, she asked
the one truly important question. "Where am I?"
Chris was stunned. How could she not know where she was? "You are on
the Wolf-held world of Doldrums 7, in the med-lab, in room seven."
"Umm, what do you mean 'the Wolf-held world'?"
Chris finally lost it. She face-vaulted.
"I take it I said something wrong?"
Chris was recovering pretty well. "No, you didn't say anything wrong,
you just proved that I have to explain our entire way of life."
"Oh. I'm sorry."
A soft whoosh is heard as the door opens again. Kuenai and Chris turn
to see who it is.
