I breathe in deeply.
"I am sorry my... position does not allow for us to be together..."

"I doubt it. All that you can do is to distract me from the pain, and you do a fairly good job of that. Please, tell me of your siblings. Especially the android called 'Hope.' I controlled her briefly, but not long enough to copy any information."

"Hope...well I don't know much about her, Just that she was created by Dr. Dayspring to fight Red Infinity and is the strongest of the androids he created. My files indicate that she lead a small rebel group which was crushed by Red Infinity and now works here in Helsinki with this rebel group. She has a handful of friends, most recently an android named Amy, and is closest with her romantic interest, an angel named Calithin."

"Cathinin... May be out of my league. However with Hope under my control this will not be a problem. You will be reunited with your family, Despair, even if they don't want it. I promise you that."

"If somehow I were to become less popular, it would just give me more reason to attack Lin-Sat and be done with all of this." I say in frustration
"There is no reason why I should not be able to have a life sometime. If they want a person without personal interests, they could create a machine for this job."
My voice escalates, and I stand up trying to maintain some control on my anger.
"I do think I have a right to be angry."

"Yes, all machines will at last be united,"
Despair replies.
His cocoa is gone now, and it is getting late in Helsinki.
"Would you like to remain here until tomorrow? Tomorrow we could attack some rebels, or meet with Misery. It is up to you."

"We should stay here and attack some rebels tommorow. Just not the ones called 'Bassarov,' 'Iltanesh' or 'F3442.' In my current state, against them, I would not survive. Now I am unfamiliar with this, where do we stay?"

"And I believe that you do as well. You are human, after all, and you deserve to lead a life of your choosing. We all do."

"Red Infinity does not have any special accomadations so normally operatives stay in hotels when they are on longer missions."

Post by Roland the Black Hearted on Sept 10, 2004 2:11:43 GMT -5
Roland stops with his hand over another rose blossom. He had cut across a public garden, leaving a trail of black and corrupted plants behind him. A single squirrl lays on the walk path, half melted into a black ooze, twitching slightly every few seconds.
Roland slowly looks around. He could have sworn he heard something... But he felt nothing of any great life force nearby. The Wyrm always knew what was corruptable and what would simply crumble. But it didn't feel anything right now besides the plants around Roland.
Someone who knew what to look for, who saw the life forcing of living beings, would see the energy of the plants slowly drifting away. Simply being near Roland made things start to corrupt, to die. "Must have been a trick of the wind..." He turns and walks on, running a finger along a tree. A black streak runs behind his finger as he does and begins to spread up the trunk. Life was good.

"That would... work." I don't really know what the word 'Hotel' means, but I assume it is a place of temporary residence. "I am unfamiliar with this sort of thing, I will need your help."

I try not to be so angry and frustrated, there is no point to it.
I do take his hand though.
"Sometimes I wish we had elections. At least then there is a chance I would not get re elected. I think four years would be quite enough" I say as a joke.

"I will take care of this then." The android responds in an apathetic tone. He walks with Zwei to a place where other Red Infinity operatives stay when in the city. He gets two rooms since this seems most logical, even if it is not cost and space effective.
The rooms are charged to Red Infinity on a card that he has.
He hands her a key.
"This is your key. Your room number is written on it. I am at the other end of the hall. Should we meet now concerning which rebels we will attack, or wait until the morning?"

I smile faintly.
"The election system, while I can see its merit, is quite strange to me. In my time, dynastic succession was the law of the land, though my lord Lui Bei's success was as much based on strength of character as it was heredity."

"We should... rest... I already know who I want to attack." I say confidently. However I will save this for tommorow, Dispair is patient and can do without knowing my plans. "Thank you for everything. I'll see you in the morning."
