Is Jason A Disappointment?

" I expected you two to be with each other, but this..." ATACC said in a disgusted tone. " This is just sad." He shook his head in dismay as his face displayed a throwing up emote as Aria gave a hiccup.

Well...

I'm beginning to regret it a bit.

It was probably because Aria was trying to strip me in a aggressive way and I couldn't even fight back. I was afraid I'd hurt her.

Or because I am enjoying it?

Shut up.

I am? Wow....

Just zip your mouth, I'm narrating here! GEEZ!

As I was saying...

" It's not what you think!" I yelped at the top of my voice but low enough for it not to wake Jeamie up. " Not what you th-umph!" I was cut short as Aria pulled me into a kiss smack on the lips again.

" It's exactly what you think you're seeing! Someone always has to intrude! Not tonight!" Aria laughed with triumph as she unbuttoned my shirt and have a test press to my abs. She grinned, wide eyed and all before announcing her verdict.

" Ladies and gentlepeople! This abs are made from kry-Hick!-nite! It's hard as -Hick!-" then she fainted from probable exhaustion.

" Gib -Hick!- Kisss! -Hick!-" She choked and knocked herself out, worrying me cause I had a reason to worry about the worrisome things happening in front of me.

ATACC leaned over and ran a scan, looking at her vitals.

" How'd she get drunk?!" He exclaimed before looking at me accusingly. " I'm not enlightened about that matter..."

How'd she find that stash?!

" Anyways, about your weird request, it's set up" he made a thumbs up sign with his interface. And now, I was one step closer to getting back to the Aegir.

Or rather.... It to me.

" Is the feed functioning?"

He upped the thumb again with a " Done" in the sincerest tone he had.

" Well then, are you up to the gamble? Killing everyone on board or just wiping them clean slate?" I took out the IntelliPad as he said," The heck, I'm a robot. Why not?"

" I'm ready, are you?" I repeated the question as I needed a clear answer.

" Yes. But are we sure we should erase all of them? Maybe leave the doctors." He stated with concern.

Maybe he was right.

He was, body.

Please stop.

Erasing all the people's memories would prove to be difficult as well as dangerous. They will find themselves in a unmanned spaceship with no idea who they are.

" Then, selective erasure?"

" Selective erasure." He agreed with a slight nod.

He then put his head on the side of the cabin and added a vital rule we forgot. " What about Dr.Collet? We need SOMEONE of medical expertise there if it goes well. According to my calculation, the electrical im- sh- obvi- Jaso-" ATACC's voice started to fade in and out. My ears were making droning noises.

He moved forward and shook me but it was too late. Insomnia hit me after being without sleep for a whole day.

This should be quite troubling.

I dozed off, left behind at the mercy of a talking robot.

I must have slept for a whole day or woke up immediately. I was surprised to find out that it was the latter. Aria was curled up next to me, her leg on my neck, dangerously close to my mouth almost strangling me.

The slight smell of smoke was hinted as I shot up from bed and rushed without waking Aria up to find that Jeamie was making soup and salad.

" Oh, you're awake! ATACC helped me make this!" She was humming with joy, standing on a stool that wasn't even balanced.

She like a game character. One second, one stat, the next, out the sky. Sudden character development...

So, I did my best not to ruin it and helped her make the dish while simultaneously planning my gamble through my thoughts.

The next day, the day of introduction had arrived. My sister booted up with a yawn and I didn't hear the usual creaks and croaks.

" Good mornin!" She stretched her arms with yet another long yawn.

" Can ya do me a favour and tell me why you said that?" I started as I asked her of her declaration of dying within this year the last time we talked.

If it were to be true...

Goddamn idiot! Stop such thoughts!

I chided myself and pasted a fake smile on my face while listening. " The oxygen supply's gonna be depleted to the minimum this year. We gotta find someway to land. Or we'll all die." She crossed her legs and dipped her head down.

" Or the ones up top at least..." She added.

That was when I grasped it's meaning.

Aria had informed that the oxygen levels were low.

I placed the dots. But the lines were missing,

" Can't you just bring it down?"

" It's not only oxygen we lack, but the thrust power in the engines as well. So, they cannot land without a crash. And even the smallest crash can send it blown to bits. And no, we can't land in water." She shot the idea before I brought it up.

" As we made it in a deadline, we couldn't replace the base materials or put a layer around it. We can't lose any more oxygen." She had a guilty look on her face.

Dots connected.

SHUT UP!

" The landing gear is busted. The thrusters are insufficient to help. The generators are not durable. What did you do all these months?"

" We used cryo sleep for the ones who we didn't need. And it's in the thousands. We only have so much ammonia to maintain the levels." Stace shook her head with dismay.

" So, I've gotta think of a way to bring it down?"

She clapped her hands and laughed, throwing her arms around me. " I knew you'd agree! Well, you didn't have a choice"

Maybe a bad timing to say this to her...YOLO. God that's outdated...I feel like a fossil now.

This time, I agree, thoughts of the past.

My man.

Whatever...

" But you've gotta agree to a plan I've got. This is gonna reinforce the fact that Reflection needs to be protected."

" And I'll think of a solution within 48 hours." I added.

" It'd decide the fate of both worlds." And a one liner on top of that.

" And how would you expect to do that? You're no Einstein, you know? And the last time you asked me a favour, it was TO POKE A HOLE IN A JUICE BOX!" She looked at me accusingly.

And in a moment she reverted back to a child...she's definitely like Jeammie Kytte...

And, what is with these increasingly disappointing looks I've been receiving this past few days?!
