ON to chapter 4

Chapter 4:

"You never did tell me, what are you doing so far from the ship?" said Danak

"Oh, that's not our ship, we came from a different ship" Vash said

"Wait... Wait a second" Danak said, with a surprised tone, "Your not even from THAT ship? Your from a completely different ship?"

"Well, yes actually," replied Knives "In truth, our ship was destroyed in re-entry, we escaped in an escape pod"

"Goodness, how did you make it all the way over here? The distance between here and July is far enough to try me"

"It took us several days, and we weren't un-prepared" Vash said

"Days?" exclaimed Danak, "I don't think I could make it just one day, not without my camp here."

"I told you we weren't unprepared" Vash said, "Our pod had food and water"

"Still, for someone so young, traveling that far, across this dessert is unheard of"

"Maybe on earth" Knives added, with a sneer

Danak smiled, and chuckled to himself, "Yea, I guess that's right, somehow I keep forgetting we're not on earth anymore"

"Why do you like earth so much?" Knives asked, "I thought you polluted it too much"

"Ask anyone, home is always best, no matter how messy it is"

"But you're the ones who damaged it so you couldn't stay"

Danak's smile faded, "Sometimes we hurt that which is most important to us, not realizing that it cant last forever the way we treat it"

"But that doesn't make any sense"

"I know Knives, I know." Danak added, "but we're human, logic doesn't always rule over us, selfishness is our one greatest flaw"

"If you're going to keep destroying the universe, why do you move on and on?"

"Humans like to believe they can correct their mistakes..."

"So I've heard" Knives added with a frown

"Really?" Danak said, noticing Knives face, "Someone important told you that, huh?"

"Yea, her name was Rem, she taught us about mankind's ability to rectify its mistakes" Vash added with a smile

"Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing Knives didn't like her as much as you Vash" Danak replied

"She wasn't very logical, she let emotions rule most of her decisions, emotions and human nature" Knives said

"She WAS NOT!" Vash added angrily

"Woah, woah, calm down, both of you" Danak said, holding Vash and Knives apart

"I don't see what the big problem is." Knives said, more to Vash than Danak, "Rem was very illogical."

Just before Vash replied, Danak added in rapidly, "Sometimes the right thing to do, doesn't always seem logical"

"What do you mean?" asked Knives

"Suppose a small child, not much younger than you two in fact, was drowning in the ocean..."

"A child was drowning in a what?" asked Vash, a little confused

"Huh?" Danak said, surprised, "You don't know what the ocean is? I know you're young, but from what I understand, we only left earth about 2-3 years ago."

"Well, actually we are only..." Vash started

"We never really saw the 'ocean' whatever it is, at least we don't remember" Knives finished hurriedly

"Ok, that wasn't a great example anyways." Danak replied, a smile crossing his face suddenly. " I have a much better one but suppose that someone left to go another city, or ship I mean. a ship that you can communicate with, and after a few days, the other ship still hasn't seen him"

"Then he is probobly dead" Knives said

"Yes, that's my point, LOGICALLY, you would assume he was dead, and mourn him, then get on with your life." Danak replied, "But suppose someone decided he would go and find the man, to try and save him"

"Then he is risking his life, unnecessarily" Knives added

"You might think that, but suppose he came back, two days later, with the man, and both of them are dirty, dehydrated, and tired, but alive"

"That wouldn't happen"

"It did happen" Danak added sharply

"What?"

"One of my good friends did that to me, my car broke down in the middle of the desert, I was nearly dead by the time he found me."

"You mean, that story was about you?" asked Vash

"Yes, it was, and a few years later, we started Project Seeds, I was chosen to help with the project, and I found several structural flaws. Flaws that would have resulted in the deaths of not only me, but even you."

"So what your saying is that, even though a choice may not seem completely logical, a risk, can have huge benefits?" Asked Vash, trying to get Knives to think about it more

"Exactly, however, we need to still do simmilar things, even when there is no logical reward" Danak said

"What do you mean? Why would you risk your life for someone that couldn't return anything to humanity?" asked Knives

"Well... you know what? Its late, lets discuss this in the morning" Said Danak, as he led them into his large tent, and laid out some blankets for them to sleep on

This is it for chapter 4, please R/R and let me know what you think, or if you have any critiques
