" the ship reports all systems are stable and your health seems fine said Odin his cold refined voice seeping in the intercom Emily groaned her head splitting as the pain pulsed through her skull she sighed " I'm not in the mood for your venomous tones Odin she snapped regretting looking up as the migraine pulsed through her skull and burnt in her eyes closing them did little to nothing to sooth the pain in her head she climbed out the cryogenic stasis pod the hissing of the steam wafted into the vents along the pod she looked down her eyes still hurting the white shirt and shorts a simple attire on a ship long since past old the halls creaked and the cables buried in the ships vents and control room she sighed while walking to the window the white moon glazed with hazy pink and red clouds swirling over the planet of blood moon she looked at the planet fondly and in pure silence her hand resting on the glass " Odin prepare my suit
An week later
" your mad if you think the planet can sustain life the whole place has been dead for 230 years maintenance just stopped after the Great War began said Odin through Emily's intercom as her ship nose dived into the atmosphere before straightening out , the icy clouds now seeming white as she drove through the clouds the temperature dropping below freezing in the clouds " I know I'm mad Odin but I have to try maybe theirs something their maybe I can work why their were so many secrets from
Me even when I was the queen of skovia she said as she slide her hand over the many notifications and warnings " Odin scoffed before speaking I don't think you have anything to gain since killing London Odin said "oh shut up please about London the man was dying from his own miss guided intelligence and his own selfishness she said while resting her hand on her head the migraine long since faded from
The week she had to recover but the memories of the war and the thoughts of skovian life collapsing and the look on the person she once loved maybe that's why she connected to Odin so much sure he was a ai but he too Once loved some one him self but life and history tore him away from the person he loved oh so long ago now he assisted a women now long since thought dead and hated but trying to flee her own problems and realities of course she ran away from this same place sure she could be said to be copy cat of a another legend the killer of the palace and its history but unlike that legend she did not want to fulfil a dying women's wish but her own deep rooted fears and desire for a truth more clear than the buried ones buried deep in the hearts of the halls of skovia and not the history she was told but she only had one chance when she told the person she loved " I'm sorry I can't do this
A quick yet truthful life she knew she should regret but didn't so here she was flying down to the surface distinctive red rocks and skovian architecture covered the planet in sporadic pockets broken cracked glass domes covered the surface colonies once promised to be Covina and skovians hope for a better world than the world of the darkening tale of war brewing in the faces of the nations the ship landing with little effort the little force caused rock and dust to spread across the surface " hmm muttered Emily " what asked Odin curiosity in his voice " the surface seems to be crumbling she replied " even with out maintenance skoivan tempering shouldn't have damaged the planets surface nor caused structural damage to the main body of the planet nor the core did you get any reports of planet tampering inside of the inner core ? Odin asked " I don't recall so you make a good point I made sure that the colonies would be environmental safe for the planet and would be treated like our own planet she replied scanning the surrounding area " hmm strange be carful i wouldn't go prancing about especially since I'm a 242 year old ai joked Odin " Emily laughed a little before cracking a smile " Odin thanks for being here with me I know you don't like me and it's fine you don't like me she said a little saddened by that fact " I don't mind your company just the death of London scared and frightened me I'm a factory ai so feeling something I long since lost during the uprising scared me and Ida used to pretend to be in tia drinking wine he laughed a little Emily did not reply due to finding a small locking mechanism in the stone beneath a modern stone looking home the flat tiled orange roof traditionally found in most of mokivan homes or even green or white but unlike skovia and cova mokivan " actually like colour as in decor instead of " bland plain looking houses slapped together by a sad women or man wanting attention for something they made their selves with copying some one else's home work of course this caused back lash after the architect critic committee of mokiva offended the nations and elor her self some one deeply involved in women defining them selves being more than a house wife so to be called sad prickled her feathers the already burning fire now a storm of flames turned into a full on roasting of the committee and the critic but tea did not stop for the critic had this to say " elor never heard of her a sad designer a few politicians and a architects nightmare child drinking to many champagnes this caused the nations to be infuriated elor her self to make a statement " show Your self you sad little man crow your as important as a fish in the dumpster usually
Elor was refined but being insulted twice made her snap but sadly for the critic he was found and the nation tore him apart luckily figuratively although many fear if they were animals the man would have more than a jail sentence and a ocean of hate letters and videos of hatred to him the dust covered the lever which clicked " hmm I'm sorry I brought some
Things back up she sounded like a wonderful person she said before gears began to turn and click into different motions the floor opened up a circular hole the slats of metal and stone slid away in triangles then a set of ladders she looked around " Odin if we lose connection when I go down here and if I die I just want to say thank you ...for everything she said before beginning her descend " I'll turn on the radio in your head Odin said a soft beep could be heard while she descended " thought I could be left alone she joked frightened for her truth and her fate Odin laughed a short laugh as she climbed down the torch on her head wear filling a dark open space of dust silence filled the air other than her grunts and the sounds of banging as her feet collided with the next step she stopped when she dropped a coin " 4 feet she muttered softly " what's 4 feet asked Odin "
The lower levels she replied " the suit can take any shock and other types of injury said Odin she nodded before jumping down with a poor of air and dust dark rounded circle tunnels covered black smooth like surface the surface glistened in the dark light while ridges bulged out giving it a smaller feeling while endless tunnels lead to deeper secrets she looked around deathly silence filled the tunnels she began walking down the hall way " Odin I'm in the tunnels and their a lot different than I remembered when I was given a tour here she muttered under her breathe cautioned by the fear and suspicion lacing her internal thoughts so while she walked in slow strides as she walked down the hall she breathed quietly " scans show no signs of life nor Concerns of structural dama- before Odin could finish the ground began to shake chasing Emily to fall to
The ground " what the hell is happening as the ground began cracking until suddenly stopping " internal damage found along halls b c and a please send maintenance droids to these tunnels for all repairs required said the ai long since past old and shrouded under a illusion of the past and the fact times she speaks have long past and droids do not roam the halls no more nor the many folk that laughed and listened to each other and confessed and joked in these halls now empty but the cracks now adorning the floors " Christ Emily are you alright ? I have no idea what the hell happened the whole planet showed no signs of structural damage nor any signs to be worried the core must've decayed long since the tunnels were built either that or the solar flares have effected the shields or the radiation is eroding the soil of the planet replied Odin Emily nodded the disbelief of the damage caused and the only surviving sign of life a ai and tunnels she continued walking down the halls " Odin if you will Indulge me in the story of your life said Emily " of course well my tale begins when I was born a age before the uprising a mere factory ai over seeing twelve factories for Androids 12 years later I ended up in the rubble discarded since the bombings of lis sta since the uprising turned violent then I was picked up and took to a small tent where I met Ida a girl who used to over see mall security and metro infrastructure we talked a little while until we were transferred into android bodies we were on the run for so long I don't know how we survived and how we got split up I deleted that part of myMind for the pain and regret too much you've changed Ida your not the person I once knew.
I ended here in the trash again when London found me hm a few years later and here we are Odin replied the story long enough she found her self at the end of the tunnel and a bulk head she held the wheel " alright Odin thank you for your story umm there's a door a here well bulk head so I'm going to try to turn it she said to Odin into thin air " wait Let me try and disable the main locks Odin said before giving it a go a few minutes later heavy clunking could be heard then the sound of
Locks unlocking and the sounds of the door squealing open was heard Emily smiled " thanks Odin she said entering more tunnels but something different a tapestry adorned the end of the room " the founders and the skovian royal family she gasped softly but not her family but her mother's father and her own mother and her sisters and brothers and her self she walked forward the tapestry long since faded and covered in dust be artificial dust or even the dust from
The planets surface now falling into the ventilation the answer will forever be unknown but she wasn't here for the answer to blood moon dust .
