It must have been Autumn on this part of Earth due to the chill air and warm colors of the vegetation. Kekshi-0 was starting to notice frost on her metal frame. She needed to find a heat source soon, and she could not use her ship due to a lack of fuel to burn. She needed to conserve what she had for when she returned to the Court. She linked a hefty gas can to her side and started down the hill to the highway below. She started to reminisce on her short period of memory. Waking up in the Ocean of Storms on the Moon with a ship is when she was born. To her knowledge, she didn't exist before then. And it wasn't like she had anyone to ask about her past. She had been alone, having no contact with any life until that creature just a few hours ago. She wondered what it said to her in its language. After she found fuel, she would look for life. Humans, Exos, Awoken, anyone who could validate her confusion. Maybe even help her figure out what has happened to her and the worlds. Only rusted cars littered the crumbling highway from the Golden Age. It wasn't until after she had walked almost 4 miles that she saw an intact vehicle, sitting under the highway. She made her way down through the rubble of the past to reach the ground. A ship. That was a good sign. That meant some other human types were around to help her. Though she would need the help of whoever owned this ship, she would siphon some fuel just in case the conversation went south. She led a tube through the ships fueling station and used a contraption she made on one of her first days awake to pull the fuel out. She was about three quarters of the way full in her gas can when a red dot blurred her vision. Kekshi-0 dropped the fuel can and blocked her eyes from the light. "You have ten seconds to convince me not to shoot you dead right now." A hooded figure wearing military grade armor walked towards her with a hand cannon held up, aiming a red dot sight at where her heart would be if she were human. "Please don't shoot. I need help. I need to know where to go to find someone who can help me." Kekshi-0 said, voice shaking. The hooded figure lowered its weapon, but still kept its distance. "Help with what?" "Finding out who I am." Kekshi-0 watched the figure hold its palm out and a small droid materialized out of thin air and started talking to the life-form. "I believe she is telling the truth." The floating robot said. "We should help her. She is unarmed and scared, it seems." "Fine. Epsilon, transmat some fuel out of the inventory for her to take. She'll take it with her once we drop her off at her ship." The orb of light disappeared and the figure took its hood and helmet off, revealing a human female. "My name is Propira. Nice to meet you..?" She holstered her hand cannon and held her hand out for me to shake. "Kekshi-0. Or just Kekshi if you want, either is fine with me." "Well, good to make your acquaintance, Kekshi. So, um, what did you mean when you said you needed help finding out who you were?" "It's sort of complicated. Mind if I tell you on the way to my ship? I'm a bit flustered, and cold, actually." "Of course," Propira started, "Epsilon, get us on board will you?" "Of course, guardian." The metallic orb responded. "Guardian?" Kekshi-0 asked aloud. "Damn, you must be new. Come on, let's get you to the Last City. There are plenty of people there that can help you." [spoiler]i hope this is turning out to be readable for anyone who chooses to read this. It may be slow right now but I promise it will pick up soon enough! And I will work on writing longer chapters, also. All will be revealed soon enough. [/spoiler]
