The room is quiet as another Ghost floats up to you. It's shell is a deep green and a blue core blinks at you. "Sup." It's voice is mellowed out but sounds very familiar to another Guardian. "Name's Damien. If you are Exo or machine-like then hey cuz!" It gave a laugh and spun it's shell. "Anyway I guess you are here for the story of my bae Kate. She's a unique one alright and has a back story tied in with a friend of hers and my identical cousin Rex-5742, or Rexxy as she likes to say." "Since the two are so closely related, if you want to find out a but more about the further back go talk to Rex's Ghost, the poor guy would be happy to tell you... or beep at you... well as long as he can show you pictures I guess it doesn't matter what he speaks. Anywho, we will start a bit before and after the resurrection of Kate and continue from there cause well if I just told you the start it wouldn't be as long." Damien expands his shell and starts the memory up. The vision blurs as Kate's body jolts in pain that she doesn't understand. She can't move but her body moves for her as the pain increases. She is being moved swiftly. Down a white walled hallway, with harsh white lights. Her body once again jolts and her lips let out a strange noise as something presses against her chest to push her back down. Voices yell at one another as Kate tries to concentrate on what's going on. She hears banging as she comes to a dead halt. She knows something is moving around her as she feels something cover her mouth. She inhales and everything begins to fade away. One last word escapes her lips before she falls into the black. "Rexxy..." Kate wakes up slowly as she tries to look around. She is hovering in the middle of nothing and her dress is a simple white. She gently flails her arms to move and instead of getting anywhere she just slowly spins forward. "Come on!..." She said as she tries several more times to correct herself. "Don't be stupid!..." Her rotations come to a halt as a stream of green ones and zeros flash infront of her. The ones and zeros blend into a straight line that suddenly moves around as I something is speaking. "Hello? Katherine Varience are you there?" "Y... yes? Who are you?" "Ha! It worked!!" The voice grew fainter as it appeared to move away and speak. "We have done it!" "Um... where am I?" "You are in a computer." "That's silly I can't fit in one..." "No no I mean you are an A.I., a stream of data formed by your conscience." "A.... I?.. Like a robot?" "Yes similar! We are just helping you recover from your near fatal injury." "What happened? And... is Rexxy ok?!" She felt herself glitch a bit from the emotional burst. "Who?... I mean yes! Yes Rexxy is fine, he is in a robotics bay wai...." "You lie..." "What?" "You lie! Rexxy doesn't like to be called that except by me!! Where is Rexxy?!" "Calm down Katherine, you will shut down the simulation!" "Where is he?! I want to know! Please let me..." She felt herself immediatly click out of consciousness as her vision went black again. Kate wakes up slowly as she tries to look around. She is hovering in the middle of nothing and her dress is a simple white. She gently flails her arms to move and instead of getting anywhere she just slowly spins forward. "Come on!..." She said as she tries several more times to correct herself. "Don't be stupid!..." She growled in frustration as she looked around. She managed to see a small white light. "Oh... I think I can make it..." She flailed in the lights general direction only to spin slightly faster. "Come on!..." She willed her body to move forward and it did somehow, going into the light. She blinked and found herself staring up at the ceiling, she felt constricted into place as she heard two voices arguing. "We ran the simulation several dozen times already! It's the same result, she freaks out and causes the thing to malfunction! We can't put her into as machine and even then placing a child like A.I. into the Arc Project?!" "Its what we have, it's the only thing capable of holding that much data and memory with the space for new ones." "Even at that! Us keeping this thing is illegal, what if the military finds out about this?" "I'd rather be sent to jail for trying to save a life than go free for killing one." Kate tried once more to move only to have something crash beside her. The two voices stop and run over. They stare wide eyed as Kate looked between the two. "How did she do that?!" "Is it not obvious? The body is connected to the grid after all." "She's never done that before. The simulation isn't even on!" One of the faces goes past Kate's field of vision and typed on a computer. "Wait... how?..." "Don't question..." The remaining face looked at Kate. "Katherine? This will feel strange but we have to get you back into the computer." Kate tried to speak but couldn't. She tried to move more as the face looked worried. "Katherine please stay still or we...." A loud banging caused the face to jerk to the door. "Oh no..." "This is the Army open this door immediately!" "S***!" The other voice said. "I told you!" The face shook his head. "This isn't good... Katherine stay here." The face zoomed off to deal with whatever was happening. Kate persisted and tried to move. She felt her arm jolt up as she wiggled her fingers and looked at them. She slowly ripped her body up from its position as the voices grew louder and more concerned. Kate managed to stand up straight just as the doors burst open to reveal military men. They stared wide eyed as her as they aimed their guns. "Don't shoot!" The second voice said. "There's an A.I. stored there thats..." "And that's why it needs to be put down." Said a scary looking man who walked up and ripped something out of Kate's neck which caused her to lose control of her limbs and fall to the ground. She heard the voice scream no as her vision went blank. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/183215893/0/0 link to part 2
