Thank God I am FINALLY able to get back on here(thanks to my new laptop- lovin it!)!
As i now have a laptop to work from, I can probably start rolling out new chapters and other stories more often. This will most likely be a chapter for a fic per week, maybe per every other day(that is, if I have both the motivation and the inspiration to get things written, and my school schedule permits).
Anyways, now that i have the AN's done, LET THE HIATUS BE NO MORE!
I woke up in a dark room, but I could tell it wasn't a cell. It was too comfortable to be a holding cell. There was also a woman with bright pink hair. She heard me shifting, and turned on the lights. I grunted at the sudden change, which i think may have made her feel bad.
"I'm sorry, I guess I should have warned you." She said, with a guilty tone.
"No, it's okay. Umm... who are you?" I asked, sitting up on the bed.
"Oh, sorry. My name is Feldt. I'm the operator of the ship. What about you?" said the girl.
"I'm Cole." I said, still sore from the flight.
"Well, Cole. Now that you're awake, I should probably take you to the strategy room to meet the others."
And so, I followed Feldt down the hall, and as I passed the window, I looked out, only to see fish swimming around.
"Are we underwater?" I asked.
"Yes, and the ship is called Ptolemaios II, but we nicknamed it the Ptolemy to shorten it." said Feldt.
"Cool." I said, as we continued down the hall.
It only took a few minutes to navigate the hallways of the ship and get to the strategy room. When we entered the room, I immediately sensed the presence of Setsuna. I figured this was an Innovator enhancement from the quantum brainwaves. Then there was a woman motioning me towards the center of the room, standing in front of the others in the room.
I walked over, and turned to face the others in the room.
"Welcome Cole, I am Sumeragi Lee Noriega, the captain of this ship. I hope things haven't been too hard to adjust to." the woman said.
"No, I guess I just needed a little sleep." I said with a sheepish look.
"I'm not sure a week is 'a little'." scoffed a man. He was tall, had long brown hair reaching down to his shoulders, and had a green pilot's suit on. "I'm Lyle Dylandy, but you should call me Lockon Stratos."
"I was seriously out for a week!?" I near-shouted. I've never heard of anyone sleeping that long, outside of a coma.
"Then again," said a different man, this one having long black hair, and wearing an orange vest over a white shirt. The main thing about him though, was his eyes. They were different colors, one being a silver-gray and the other one being gold. "you were medically kept under for most of the time, so we could heal any possible wounds."
"Well, you were just a victim of a terrorist attack." the bichromatic-eyed said, "I guess I should also tell you my name. I'm Allelujah Haptism."
"And you already know me and Feldt Grace." said Setsuna.
After meeting the rest of the crew present, Sumeragi turned me toward a large monitor mounted in the wall.
"Say hello to our last member, Tieria Erde." Mrs. Sumeragi said..
I looked at the screen, and was amazed by what i saw. On the screen there was a man with purple hair that wasn't as long as the others', but it was enough to look good. I'm not totally sure what his eye color could be called.
"Wow." is all I can muster, with trauma just beginning to set in after the shock subsided.
"Mrs. Sumeragi," said Setsuna, obviously sensing the distress I was feeling."I think Cole may be going through something that is just too much for him. If you don't mind, I'll take him back to his quarters."
"Of course, Setsuna. Do what you need to."
