A quick yawn is heard from the little water filter on the coffee table in Iggy's room. Noticing nothing but silence, he directs his attention to an empty bed.
"Iggy? Iggy!? Where are you?" He queries to himself. He continues searching around him until the door to the room opens; Zikh comes in.
"Oh, hey there Follower." Zikh looks at the water filter.
"You! The medium guy! You know where Iggy went?"
"The little guy's storytelling about FC over at the patio."
"Storytelling? Oh, to forget about yesterday?"
"Probably." Zikh replies with doubt. "He's been on the pedestal for 30 minutes, want me to bring you out?"
"Yeah, that'd be great."
Zikh lifts Pickle and walks outside of the room. He delicately places Pickle on the table, along with a few teapots in it, and sits at a chair beside him.
"And when she ran from her new apartment, she spoke these words: Uh, fine, load my stuff!"
A huge crowd laughs at Iggy's unintentional punchline
"Why the hell are you guys laughing, she's a killer!" One of the angels gossips about.
"Remember, She doesn't want Logic to carry her stuff, that is what makes it funny!"
"Uhh, that's not really a punchline... but... okay. Gaia running away during the maintenance became an ode to normalcy for her and Logic. That gave him a hint of Gaia's past, a rumble with the divine. But he never dug out his past, for she was told to never question anything."
18 YEARS AGO
By her fourth year in the ground, her brain, her heart, her soul... Everything about her was tamed. She was no longer dangerous to anybody... and she was ready to take on the world.
"Uh, Good Morning to our heads. Especially to you, Mr. Scott. Umm, just a quick note, I will kill you if you don't listen to me."
She spoke such words formally.
"I'm a fresh graduate of TCC, and I work with electronics and robotics. As you can see, some of my work here is from on-the-job training... Psst. Logic!"
"Aye, aye, coming in!"
Logic enters a very, very, menial atmosphere. The heads were curious, why was the policeman here? Well, it's to bring out Gaia's biggest work!
"One of my prototype animatronics that I would like to introduce to you, is Fauna. She's a psycho. Heh, like me."
She continued rambling on about her creation, and the investors were very interested in its intricate beauty. The beauty of putting robotics into the entertainment industry. Not replacements for jobs... but instead are characters for a bigger story.
"Scott. It's a pleasure to tell you... We're going to invest in this game."
Gaia was no boss. She was merely an intern. For her to coin an investment for her company means bigger opportunities...
PRESENT DAY
The angels are starting to feel anxious about Gaia's next steps.
