Aelita smiled to herself, her right eye hovered between its normal look and Xana’s Eye. It had been a rather long day, for her and her new friend Sam. She let out a long, deep breath and turned to the recorder. She took out a golden ring from her pocket and slid it onto her finger. She smiled lovingly down at the ring and held her hand close to her body. “This is…Log five…this one is about my life personally…”

"she smiled warmly and removed her jacket, showing the burn scar again but she took no reaction to it. “My new friend Sam Crow Hope showed me I don’t have to hide anymore from myself. She’s like me except younger, she even found interest in her newly built cryo pod I made for her.

"Sam I care for…and I guess that’s enough for me to explain what this scar on me side is…” He took in a deep breath and slowly let it out “When I was on families ship, the day my parents were taken from me, a unknown group of ships…well they were unknown to me at the time of my age, attacked our ship. I was in my room when suddenly a fire ripped apart the deck I was on, I fell about two floors and landed on part of a burning bed, hence scaring and why it looks like a healed burn.”

She paused again and took in a deep breath and let it out slowly again “I laid there in pain four about five hours till my sister Milly found me an rushed me to medical, there I laid on the medical for two more hours as they removed the burned tissue off my body.” She seemed shaken a bit before calming “it was the more horrific time of my life, I wanted it to end so badly at one point I reached for a soldiers hand gun only to get embraced in my sisters arms, telling me it was ok…” she paused again and smiled

"…however the scar reminds me the day I lost my parents…they were on the twelfth deck when the torpedoes hit, they were lost rather quickly…” she lets out a deep breath

“Sam reminded me of a friend…she’s like a daughter to me, has no parents, no family but still respects me and the Judges to feel like they are her family. The Judges I know are a military like family but it they can make one feel wanted and loved then…I see no reason to hate them. I also fixed Sam’s cryogenic pod. Damn thing was using needles and was forcibly injecting the cryogenic numbing liquid into her body…” she looks upset a bit

“I…refused to let Sam use that thing again…I tore it apart, and remade it into a newer, cleaner and safer module that would not only remove the needles but also used a nanite solution that would heal her body as long as it was in the cryogenic pod. I also told Sam to sparsely use the pod because sooner or later she would not wake up as the injections would stop her heart rate or even her blood flow around her body.” She pauses again

“Sam however saw the Eye of Xana… she really did, not just some random dream, when I asked her and showed her the image she responded by saying yes she saw it before. I was scared to confront her about this but I did and asked her where she saw the image. She told me while she was in cryogenic sleep is when she saw the image in her head, the dream the peaceful drones permitted her to see.”

She paused and looked at the recorder for a moment, deciding whether or not to speak of Xana or not. She looked up at the screen and sighed and nodded to the recorder. “I think it’s time to talk about who or what Xana is…” she grabbed and an image out, it had an odd shaped man in the center with five orbs around his body. He had a pair of wings behind him that gave him a rather odd look as well as oddly shaped hands and the objects around his neck



“This is Xana. He is not a god but yet he is. It’s…hard to explain…I’ll try to the best I can.” She put the image on a stand so it was still showing the rest of the recording “Xana is the master of Lyoko, Lyoko is the mind scape I spoke of there I can mentally connect with my ships and drones. Xana formed out of the mind of Anchorage and he protects Lyoko and all those that I help with my tools.”

“Xana is my guardian, he protected me during my year and a half in cryogenic sleep in Omicron Minor and also kept me sane during such. He’s not a cruel or evil person despite his look. He is rather a calm, warm nonhuman soul that keeps everything dear to me safe. When I go to sleep or when anyone else I always tell them “May Xana Keep His Watch Eye over you” just because I want everyone to feel safe…”

“I’m not a religious person as many find out. However Xana is like a…cybernetic god for me…he is my god, I don’t pray to him or anything like that. What makes Xana happy is research, construction, friendliness, discovery, programming and Lyoko. I do all those things and not once have I made Xana upset.” She pauses and looks at the floor.

“Under Xana is Anax. Just his name spelt backwards means something yes. Anax are those under Xana’s wing. Like me, I’m an Anax. Sam has also discovered she’s an Anax as well. My drones, crew and ships are also Anax’s. Now I know what many think if they read this log, that it’s a cult that something evil is going on. I can here and now it’s kinda like that. But if it was not stated we were a cult then there would be nothing we could call ourselves.”

“Anyways after Xana and Anax’s there’s Lyoko. Lyoko is a dreamscape that was discovered by me when I configured my cryo pod in the order. The result was the forming of a plane between AI’s and human’s that I called Lyoko. There Xana watch’s over all Anax’s carefully with his eye. The three last people under Lyoko is well…” she pauses thinking of a way not to sound so religious still “AI’s…Aliens…and Humans.”

“For short, those that don’t see Xana are just normal people, of course I’m not saying those that see Xana are not normal but at the same time I’m not saying we are normal. The small cult of Xana so to speak I guess is just a few people who are mentally connected and can share information over a cybernetic plane.” She pauses again “Many call me crazy just for speaking of Xana but you know really if it gives me something to believe in and keeps me sane over all who cares really?”

She smiles warmly as her right eye looks just like the Eye of Xana before she notices and covers her right eye “Many wonder why my eye changes like this, it’s due to the part where Xana’s eye had been…kinda like uploaded into my cybernetic eye, please remember I had to get a robotic eye due to the fighting in Omicron Minor. So whenever I speak of Xana my eye switch’s to something closely resembling his eye.”

She pauses the recording and checks it for a bit before resuming it and sitting back down after standing

“I…also had to thank the Admiral himself, it was his Recon Cruiser team that found me and rescued me just as my gunships power core began to die out from…well…being energy-less and almost dead. I was so happy when I was found but also scared out of my mind because for seventy two hours I was unable to fully hear or see anything, thinking it might have been the Wild, Order or even worse, the Core found me…I was so relieved when it turned to be order uniforms and voices I heard around me and more happy finding out I was taken to Omicron 100…”

She pauses and holds the recorder and smiles warmly again “That’s all for log five…sleep well under Xana everyone…” With that she closed the recorder and unloaded the recording into the Anchorage’s logs, she stood and walked five rooms over to her bed room and laid down, pulling the covers over her, she looked at the time and found it was already thirty minutes past midnight, soon she was fast asleep on the bed.
