On board of the ''New-Horizon''

[Elvinos2003]

The previous days were not really eventful. Anna Aurelia was pissed. ''I swear! Those f*cking gaians can go to where I think!'' Anna wasn't alone. In her company, there was Pixis and Marcus. They were in the living room of the ''New-Horizon''. The non-humans were just listening Anna being angry. Pixis broke the silence. ''Miss Aurelia, I suggest you turn the page and we seek another system to stay. I am sure there is plenty other systems much more welcoming.'' Anna finally sit on the couch while Marcus and Pixis were both on a chair. The human sighed. ''You are right. I just thought I did something decent but they are just as welcoming as the Outcasts. Seriously. Marcus, if you want, I let you borrow my ship and if you have the opportunity to kick their ass, you may do it as you wish. But first, Pixis, I will need you to change the callsign of it. Any ideas?'' Pixis took a moment before to answer. She looked at the human. ''Since your eyes are red, how about 'Scarlet' ? No... Since the ship is a Raven's Talon and your eyes are red, I conclude 'Scarlet Raven' can be an option.'' It was now the time to Marcus to break the silence. ''Scarlet Raven. Hmpf. Technically, the ship is black but I suppose a callsign does not reflect the ship's color.'' ''This is a good name actually. Alright. Pixis, make sure to make the ship ready. Meanwhile, let's move the liner elsewhere. Move it to Roussillon. We will spend some days there.''

Pixis went on her way to the piloting room and set course to the Roussillon system. Meanwhile, Marcus and Anna were together. Bother were walking in a corridor just taking a healthy walk. ''Anna, how did you create me?'' The question itself was unusual to hear. ''Eh... It's kind of complex but I built your body and I put a program in you. The program is more like your soul.'' Replied Anna. Marcus had a partial idea of the process now. But it was not enough to build an adroid in purpose to give Anna an opportunity to not be alone. Even if Marcus was meant for this, he was more a body guard than being entertainment toward his mistress. However, he wanted the well being of her. Then, Anna stopped walking and turned around to face Marcus. Marcus then stopped to walk. ''I'm curious. Why did you ask this question?''[color] Said Anna getting a bit closer of Marcus. Marcus did not know how to answer. But he knew that it was pointless to hide the idea planned by him and Pixis. [color=#BF0000]''Well, Pixis and I planned to build an android for you. Because you are always alone and we thought that humans cannot live without a minimum of entertainment. The android we thought to build would have this function.''The human was surprised. She never thought that Pixis and Marcus would plan that. ''Well... It's not that I don't approve your initiative but... I would rather you don't. You do not have the knowledge and in the case you miraculously build one, no one can tell if the android will hurt me instead of the initial plan.'' Anna was right. A lack of knowledge could bring disasters. ''Alright then...''

Both of them continued to walk but it was silence between them. Anna was more in her thoughts. Wondering who Kimiko Hawkins was really. She just knows that Kimiko is a freelancer and it was all about it. But there was something about this Kimiko. When she invited her and accepted her hug, it was just... natural. Anna surprised herself to not had any suspicions toward this woman. There was a lot of mystery around Kimiko but time will probably make them vanish or not. In any case, she wondered when she will see her again and more importantly, when she will be able to see the shogun again. Meanwhile, the liner has arrived in Roussillon system. the liner was parked inside of a nebula, where they will be hard to be spotted.
