Right.....Wrong.....I don't know

Cyber-lies

Cleveland ran along the cables and was nearly buried by everything around here, including the data of the facility. It became clear that the base they were in was a tide research facility by the amount of massive data it got about the water movement near the facility. Somehow this data became like a flood for her the moment she arrived here.

Cleveland did stop several times to look and found stuff she got and at the same time didn’t. There were massive amounts of data, all of which consisted of years long research about the area. All of those weren't important for now so Cleveland ignored them, however the data had other plans. It followed her on every step and just added up.

“What is this all?” Asked Cleveland as she slapped away a file about water trajectory on underwater rocks formations and algae spread. “I don’t need that.”

*Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much unsent data I guess.*

The two were fighting themselves through walls and barricades of data. They were literally forming walls for them. Cleveland punched through one pile after another but they kept on coming. “Go away.”

Observer in her more timid state had a way worse situation and often found herself being carried under Cleveland's arms. Finally after an eternity they reached the main server and rested. The data left them alone for now and they had some breathing room. 

“That was exhausting. Hehe.” Giggled Cleveland as she caught her breath. Observer looked far worse and actually laid on her stomach panting.

*No kidding, that was a lot more action than I imagined*

After they rested, or more or less caught their breath, they looked around. They stood in a massive building of sorts all the cables were connected to. The building had uncountable input and output lines, all coming and going to a single place. 

“This looks like a wisdom cube.” Said Cleveland as she looked at the place where the lines combined themselves. Observer floated next to and looked at it.

*Yeah it looks like it because of one reason. You should be able to get why.*

Cleveland exhaled. “Yes of course I know this. Strange. I don't recall knowing this when I was still a shipgirl. You know why Alpha?"

*You got a lot of my memories in your head too you know. That's why you know this stuff. We are literally fused.*

The tiny siren had her fun while Cleveland had a headache.

“Stop giggling, we got a job to do, finding the transmission signal.” Said Cleveland and looked around. She observed the different connections. “So where is the..ah there, incoming signals and output.”

A big line that stretched far into the distance existed with that name. 

*Up up and away I guess.*

Cleveland only nodded and began flying after the vertical line. Flying made it way easier to get after it and she even had her fun. She avoided the data spores and flew up, leaving them in the dust. 

“Flying is fun.” Giggled the siren as she flew. “Way easier than running.”

*We also evade the bugs and data…..also sounds like you enjoy being a siren.*

“I have to agree it has its advantages.” Cleveland giggled. She flew along the line and spiraled it multiple times. “God I am good at flying.”

*Yeah it's somehow incredibly natural to you, like you use my experience. Anyway, do you finally accept that you are one?*

“Yes I am, I mean I can hardly deny the facts can I?” Shrugged Cleveland. She landed on the line, which now went straight, and began running along it. “Although I must say I find the ground still better.”
