*still on
top of Crystal* Are you ok?*back at NEU*
*still on
top of Crystal* Are you ok?
Yeah...
I'm fine bro. But, what just happened?
The
capsule... The J-Project! *gets up*
*gets up,
coughing* This smoke. I can't see a damned thing.
*appears
through the smoke*
*looks at
the shadowy figure* Who's there? *draws sword*
*slowly
starts walking*
*draws
daggers* Stay right where you are.
...
Friend?
I can't make
it out. Does she think we're her friends?
I don't
know. Why don't we try talking to it?
*to the
shadow* Can you reveal yourself please?
*shakes
head* Weapons... bad... Not friends.
*drops
sword* No, we're friends. We just want to know who you are.
I
not know.
*drops
daggers* Can you please show yourself. We promise not to hurt
you.
Ok...
I trust. *steps out from the smoke*
Oh my.
I've seen
something like this before.
*reveals
self* Who are you two?
I'm Crys,
this is my twin sister Crystal.
Crys,
and Crystal. Pretty names. What is mine?
Uh... you
don't know?
*sits
down, weeping* No.
Your name
is Jema.
Jema?
I like that name.
Wait a
second. Jema, do you realize what you are?
Sadly,
yes. I'm a monster, aren't I? *cries*
*whispers to
Crystal* Isn't she technically right?
*whispers
back* Don't tell her that. She's part of the Nei prototypes of
old.
Will
you two be my friends?
Uh.... um...
Sure
Jema. We'd like to be.
*whispers*
Are you sure that's smart? What would the Chief think?
*whispers*
The Chief needs to know one way or another. And if we can keep
this thing happy, perhaps it won't destroy the world like the
logs said.
Yay!
*dances around childishly* I have friends.
*there is another loud explosion in the room*
What the
hell?
What was
that?
