Shion awoke early the next day. She slowly pulled herself out of bed, stretched and yawned.
"What happened last night?" She questioned a loud. She stumbled to the other side of her room to retrieve her jacket and her shoes. She slowly pulled on her jacket. She had a stern look on her face as if she was concentrated hard on something.
"It lies within KOS-MOS?" asked Shion in a rather curios tone of voice. After she had put on her shoes she left her room and walked slowly to the bridge. As the door opened, she saw Allen and chaos talking to each other and Matthews yelling at Tony. Ziggy was standing in the back not saying a word as MOMO and Jr. harassed him about something or other.
"Good morning everyone!" said Shion in a cheerful tone. Everybody stopped what they were doing and turned to Shion. Allen started stuttering in an attempt to greet Shion.
"Uh, um, go-good morning Chief!" stammered Allen as he scratched the back of his head. He blushed a little at his stupidity.
"Good Morning!" said Jr., MOMO, and Ziggy in unison. Matthews just waved and Tony was busy cursing at him under his breath. Shion looked around to see if KOS-MOS was on the bridge as well, but she was no where to be seen. Shion was a little worried because KOS-MOS was usually the first one there.
"Hey, Allen," questioned Shion as she turned to face him, "where is KOS-MOS?"
Allen let out a long sigh under his breath, he was hoping for Shion to talk to him as a person, and not as her subordinate.
"Um, no Chief, I haven't seen KOS-MOS at all this morning. She might still be in the repair room; at least, that's where she was last night…" Allen trailed on. He was getting nervous as Shion kept her steady gaze upon him. Then, she turned away from him and smiled again to the rest of her friends.
"Will you excuse me for a bit?" she questioned, "I'm going to check on KOS-MOS."
Everyone just nodded as Shion left the room. Everyone was silent after her departure, but Jr. broke the silence.
"Nice going!' Jr. scoffed at Allen. "You had a wide open shot too!" MOMO just giggled a bit while chaos just smiled at the depressed Allen. He just sighed and slumped down in the chair where he usually sits.
Shion made her way to the elevator and down to the repair facility where KOS-MOS was hopefully located. Shion's pace sped up just a little as she approached the room. Shion had no idea why she was so nervous to see KOS-MOS, but she was. She opened the door and to her relieve, the blue haired android was standing in the room.
"Oh thank goodness your here KOS-MOS!' gasped Shion. A rush of relief flooded through her. Why am I so relieved to see KOS-MOS? It's not like anything would have happened to her…Shion thought to herself.
"Good Morning, Shion." Replied KOS-MOS as she turned to face her creator.
"What are you still doing in here KOS-MOS? I would have thought you would have reported to the bridge by now," stated Shion. KOS-MOS continued looking at Shion.
"There was a problem with sector twelve on the central processing unit in section 38C; I was running repair software that was installed two months and 11 days ago."
"Did it fix the problem?" asked Shion as she took another step toward the android.
"Yes, all systems are functioning within acceptable parameters." Shion frowned a little bit, "Sector twelve? That's odd, we have had problems with that before, maybe I should call Allen so we can check out the problem…" "All of my programs are functioning normally, it would be a misuse of time to run any more software seeing as the problem is no longer apparent, Shion" Shion was sort of thrown off by KOS-MOS' blunt remark and looked at her for a long time, then she turned her head to look at the ground and put her hand to her chin.
"The knowledge you seek, lies within KOS-MOS," said Shion under her breath.
"Hmm, do you have any idea what that means KOS-MOS?" asked Shion as she looked back up at KOS-MOS.
"At the current time, the question you are asking makes no logical sense. The programming that is currently installed is not able to comprehend the illogical thoughts of humans." Shion looked back at the ground and sighed.
"It's alright KOS-MOS; it doesn't make much sense to me either…Maybe I'll understand someday, huh?" Shion smiled as he waited for a reply from KOS-MOS, but she never received one. KOS-MOS just continued to stare at Shion.
"Alright, well it seems that your programs are functioning normally, so everything is fine then!" grinned Shion as she circled around KOS-MOS looking to see if everything was just as it was supposed to be. Just as she was walking around, Shion received a notification from Matthews.
"Hey Miss Vector?" shouted Matthews over the intercom, "you should report to the bridge A.S.A.P. It seems we have some problems here…" after Matthews finished the announcement he turned off the intercom and the room was completely silent.
"Hmm… I wonder what's wrong. Let's go check it out KOS-MOS!" said Shion as she walked towards the exit of the repair facility.
"Yes," replied KOS-MOS as she walked behind Shion. They made it back up to the bridge within a couple minutes and found out what Matthews was talking about.
In the short time that the Elsa had been in hyperspace, they had been completely surrounded by Gnosis. The cargo ship had not been able to detect their presence during that time and without hesitation, came out of hyperspace unsuspectingly, only to find them completely enclosed by gnosis.
Allen was panicking of course while the rest of the crew was thinking of the best course of action.
"Hey Tony," screamed Matthews. "I'm right here! You don't have to yell, ya know?" yelled Tony, just as loud as Matthews had done. Matthews ignored his comment and continued talking.
"Do you think we can put the ship at full throttle and doge 'em all together?" shouted Matthews.
"No, that wouldn't work," commented chaos, "They are closing in too fast, we would never be able to dodge them," Shion looked at the screen that showed the massive number of gnosis enclosing the ship.
"Hmm…" said Shion under her breath. "KOS-MOS?" she asked as she turned her head to look at the android that was standing quietly behind her. Shion's intention was to find out what KOS-MOS had in mind, but she wasn't necessarily prepared for KOS-MOS' response.
"Shion, please allow me to take care of this," said KOS-MOS as she began walking to the back of the room.
"Wait KOS-MOS! You don't need to go!" screamed Shion as the android exited the bridge. Everyone in the room was silent as KOS-MOS left, all except for Shion. She was yelling after KOS-MOS telling her not to go, but KOS-MOS was programmed as an anti gnosis fighting android, and Shion knew it. Still, in the back of her head, there was a tinge of doubt.
"Why are you so worried about KOS-MOS, Shion? She'll be fine! She's handled situations like this before without a problem!" Jr. chimed in. MOMO and Ziggy both nodded their heads in agreement to Jr's statement.
Matthews sat back in his chair and looked over to Shion, who was staring at the door.
"Hopefully she can take care of this; these guys are really startin to become a pain in the ass."
Shion didn't even glance back at Matthew's. She bowed her head and started speaking in a quiet tone of voice.
"Allen, the reason I'm so worried was that while I was checking on KOS-MOS in the repair facility, she mentioned something about a malfunction in sector twelve of the central processing unit," said Shion as she turned to look at him.
"Chief, that shouldn't be much of a problem unless it's…"
"Sector 38C." replied Shion as she finished his sentence for him.
"But, Chief!" yelled Allen, "Why didn't you call me so we could have repaired it!?" Shion's worried expression changed to a small frown.
"I'm not dumb, Allen! I was going to do that, but KOS-MOS said she had already done that." Shion's expression changed back to her depressed look. Allen quieted down from Shion's remark.
"Well, if KOS-MOS said she repaired the problem, then shouldn't it be okay?" Asked Allen trying to make Shion feel a little more comfortable.
"I suppose, but still I can't help wondering if everything is really alright…" Shion's voice trailed off. She looked back at Matthews, "Can you bring up a camera with KOS-MOS location?" asked Shion.
"Sure," replied Matthews in his nonchalant attitude. "She's in the back of the ship, just about to enter the cargo elevator that leads to the top of the ship. Bring up the camera will ya?" Shouted Matthews.
