[ DORMITORIES ]

[ Anyone who's looking for Sertoria this morning won't find her in her room. In fact, she seems to be focused on something. Thankfully, however, Sertoria's diagnostic program will fill people in, much to her own chagrin. ]

CXEV5001's emotional state is compromised. Recommended course of action: Suppressing all emotions so CXEV5001 can perform at 100% efficiency. Command?

[ Sertoria sighs irritably, wondering why her diagnostic program is so insistent on calling her by her designation. ]

Do nothing. I am operating at one-hundred percent.

CXEV5001 is acting illogical. Recommended course of action: Suppressing any outside interferences.

I said nothing! Please, do not make any recommendations that involve erasing, suppressing or any other methods that relate to returning me back to who I was!

CXEV5001 is still acting illogical.

[ It's then that she realizes that she's still in the hallways and will quietly sink away in to a corner, clearly embarrassed over her diagnostic program of all things. ]

[ FLOOR 25 ]

[ After her diagnostic program decided to painfully remind her of how mechanical she was still, Sertoria decided to hide away in the meadow. Quaeda was mostly a desert anyway, so seeing a lush area like this was always nice. Those who watch can see that she's meditating to try to calm herself down or is just relaxing on the grass itself. ]

I am human, right...?

[ It's a concept she's struggled with for years on end, so now isn't any different. ]

[ FLOOR 39 ]

[ chaos said that people exercise to cope, so Sertoria is here in the gymnasium. She doesn't look dressed for the gym, though, as she's just in her robe and tunic. A quick study at the library came up with how humans usually exercise in gyms.

It seemed simple enough: lift weights, stretch, do a few laps - that sort of thing. But, what use was all that when you weren't physically human? She does give it an honest try with the tasks in front of her, finding nothing too interesting beyond running around the track at a nice brisk pace. Although, for her, a brisk pace is easily twenty miles per hour.

She'll get it eventually. ]


[ FLOOR 81 ]

[ After today's events, Sertoria's found herself in the lounge area. She's noticed that she's above the tower's troposphere here and has taken to looking out at the stars for a while. She sighs calmly and stretches her arms out with her eyes closed. Stargazing was always a favorite activity of her's, even if it did remind her of the time she spent with Joshua. She truly did miss that man, and while she wouldn't dare wish the tower upon him, it would be nice to see him again. ]

...I wonder if I could find our star. What do you think?

[ Wonder who's she talking about. ]

I guess I didn't think 'bout it. I got limiters myself, but they're all internal an' stuff.

[Labrys, flying at top speed is no time to be contemplative.]

[To her credit, Labrys started to slow down rather than crash headlong into god only knew what as she considered things.]

Ya know, this is gonna sound nuts, but ya remind me a' my sister once in a while. You're real smart, and ya talk a heck of a lot clearer than I do.

Well...yeah, I guess y'could say we do. And t'tell ya the truth I've been feelin' kinda lonely without Aigis around. So I'd be okay with that, if you are.

All that time an' you ain't got it down either? I guess that makes me feel a little better 'bout it.

Oh...I'm sorry, I guess I really didn't think about that.
