MATTEO: Life and Death

Chapter 10

The next day Matteo got out of bed and rubbed his blue eyes . He had a very long sleep . He usually didn't sleep that long , but today he made an exception. He felt soreness in his muscles - the effects of fast swimming in the ocean and other physical exertion. He moved his arms to stretch them. Then he stood up and took out a holo-projector from his pocket . He turned it on , and on it appeared , none other than Rosalia.

"Good morning Matteo," she greeted. " How did you sleep?

"Good , thank you for asking . And you? " He asked looking at her black hair.

"Well , it's hard to sleep when you are locked in a device in which there is little space " She smiled playfully . Matteo reciprocated the smile.

"I see , you're in a good mood " Perceived the former Alliance commander.

"I'm always good to me " she smiled . Matt put it on the night drawer . He went to the closet , to put on clothes . Rosalia watched . She looked at his built figure . Too bad she was not a man - she would have hugged him feeling his heartbeat . She sighed , when her friend put on the jedi robes . She had a great view .

Matteo got dressed . For a moment he felt a scratching in his back , but it passed - his body felt the comfortable fabric . He picked up his lightsaber and blasters . He clipped the sword to his belt and the blasters to their holsters . He took the holo-projector with Rosalia in his hand and left his room .

After leaving the room Matteo went to the cockpit . He opened the door and approached the pilot's seat . He connected Rosalia to the entire ship's system . After appearing on the hologram, the girl gleefully let out a breath of air.

"Finally home. I'm immediately comfortable" She smiled .

"Today you are too cheerful" Matteo noticed. " A bug in the software?"

"From where that! That's how my system works . I told you I am a reflection of my creator" Rosalia explained again. Matteo vetoed

"You can tell , when you were created . What is your origin? Why and for what were you created?

Rosalia downcast with sadness. She collected data , to tell him her story .

"After the death of his mother Maciej Lucjan - that is my creator , he could not accept her passing so he decided to create something that would remind him of his mother . With the help of information and her personal information and history he managed to make a program , but he needed a body . While still working in the Alliance , he discovered the project 'Cortana' - AI , which were to serve as helpers on the ships of the fleet . Maciek stole the project and combined it with my program . Then I was born - Rosalia- It was the first word I heard from my creator . "

"What was next? Matteo asked.

"I was still a child . I remember how I developed . My creator loaded a lot of files in me . Musical pieces , emotions , data about everything and other things . He began to experiment on me . To use my potential . He used me as a weapon of the US army to create tactics and hack enemy systems . Thanks to this, many of the world's configurations ended thanks to two things - US intervention and me."

"What happened next?"

"I went through an evolution . My memory data stored many things . I began to create projects that could save the Earth . Unfortunately many of them were not created . I and my creator were recruited to the Systems Alliance . I was doing as a helper of the ship 'Skyfall' . My master worked on improving equipment for the army . We fought many enemies and took part in many operations , battles , peacekeeping missions . I remember , we fought on the planet Velor .

"Operation 'Lightning Strike' I remember it like today . My first mission . The alliance overthrew the theocratic kingdom . To this day Velor is an ally . After this operation , 'Skyfall' flew to the planet Bestine IV to help the SSV 'Washington' because it was getting a hard time from the Royal Hapes fleet . But , 'Skyfall' never made it there."
