Re: EVEREST 1001
Shadow stopped at a stand, and got them milkshakes then waved them towards the water. about halfway down the sand they stopped and sat down , looking at the water, and the stars that were able to be seen... there were dark shadows of some ships moving to and from the station.
They sat there..nursing the Milkshakes, Dusk asked,... what can you tell us about Mother?
Shadow's smiled his half smile,..First off? she is more your Mother, then i am your father...there is , but a part of me..but you were made from her...
Shade whirled a few times,
..Shade is right? Is that not the way of most children?
Shadow looked back at both of them , he chuckled and gave each one of them a Fuzz on their Metal heads, though both had human-like skin,. Dusk had Filaments, that acted and lived, like human hair.
well..lets start at the begining...
And Shadow began to talk..from the first time he began to understand that Lady was more then an AI...things she did to folks who tried to harm him or Hannah...some of his 'best' flying experiences... his favorite, flying through the hanger Dec of a creshain Vessel.. both of them listened, to every word..perhaps, they When he was done, they just sat there...
Then Dusk asked,..is it harder to fly...without her?
Shadow shook his head slowly as he sipped, then said,..I've always been good.. and i have only gotten better....but...i am a worse person with out Lady...and..Hannah..that is for certain....but i will tell you this.... The Black is Colder now...lonely? Perhaps..it is just the way ..
Shade blurped a bit harshly,
..Aye, Shade? I have the Vids of me beating Jonny Blu to death....the only thing i regret..is not making him suffer longer..but?.. we had people to protect...and Empire stooges to kill..sometimes? you don't get to enjoy your work...
.....grandmother says... you are a cold blooded Killer...
Shadow shrugged,..then? you know she told you the truth, at least once...
