Hope Citadel

[Hope]

The Story Continues

Inside a destroyed archive room, part of the remains to PsiTech Research Inc.
Located inside Hope Citadel

The room is dark, with little to no lighting. The archive room holds thousands of info-cards.

A female figure is in the dark room sifting through damaged or destroyed info-cards that
were left behind during the attack that left the ship to rot in space. The figure seems to be
digging through the pile looking for something...

"It has to be around here somewhere. I must find something in this that tells me anything
about myself. Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here on this ship?"

The figure speaks aloud knowing she is alone in this area of the ship.
One info-card after another, she picks up and throws to the side after they have been
examined carefully for any sign of what she is trying to find. A good fifty, or so, cards
have been put to the side out of what appears to be thousands.

"GAH!" She yells out in frustration, and slams her fist through one of the info-cards she's holding.

"If they're not in here where can they be?!"

The figure gets up from the floor and walks out toward the lit hallway. A female voice calls
out to her when she enters the hallway.

"Did you find what you were looking for Miss Hope?" It echoed through the hallway.

Hope continues to walk down the hallway moving toward the bridge.

"I don't think it's in there, Citadelia." Hope answered in a defeated tone.

Citadelia is Hope Citadel's on board artificial intelligence. Citadelia was created by Hope to
watch over the entire ship, and make sure the crew is all performing the tasks they were given.

"You only have, one thousand two hundred and forty-two rooms to go, Miss Hope."
Citadelia responded matter-of-factly, "All of which are still untouched by the CMT(Cyborg Maid Team)"

"Thank you, Citadelia. Give me the next location and I'll go to it soon."

"Understood, Miss Hope. The next archive room is located on Deck E Alpha Wing."

"Citadelia, can we change the search options to only the small rooms for now.
Private quarters should be fine for the mean time."

"Understood, Miss Hope, according to ship schematics, the highest priority location
my systems find best suited for your search, is located on Deck A. All information on
Deck A has yet to be updated. Exact location of the search is unknown."

"Thank you, Citadelia, let the bridge know my whereabouts. Have them head to
Omega 80. Maybe we can find something over in that sector." Hope replied.

"Understood, Miss Hope, coordinates updated ships new destination Omega 80."

Hope was now at the end of the hall where she ended the conversation with
Citadelia. She turned to the elevator and entered it, pressing the button to go up to Deck A.
