"Hey old man, you got him shut down yet?" a solider came into ask.
"Hm? No... it will take some time. He was a big project and took a year or more to bring up, it will take just as long to shut him down completely." Gerald explained lying of course.
"Well, time for a break!" He came in.

"Well... I, you sure you can work with out sleep?"
"Yes yes! Of course I've done it many times!"
"Alright old man..." He walked away locking the door.
Gerald sneered chuckling to himself. "By dawn, he shall be ready... Though altering memory is tricky it might take till the after noon." he turned back to his computer.

"But, Maria how can you!? That was terrible! You didn't deserve to die yet..." He bowed his head. It was silent. "Maria? Maria!?"
