"Yes, I saw my son again..." I stand up and wrap my arms around Despair, but it is comfort that I am seeking and not affection. "How do I tell my son that I am the cause of so much pain and suffering in this world? I feel like bringing him into this world is the only good thing I have ever done, and even that happened because of evil means! What am I supposed to tell him?!" I cry out. My eyes are sopping wet and I can barely control my sobbing.

"Oh, um, I'm fine... I think I should go with you," Andrew says. "I've been having visions about that... er, I mean, uh, I promise I'm not crazy or anything. I have um... visions I guess. It has to do with being part nymph. Um, I'm part nymph. I know a male nymph is kinda weird... Sorry, off topic. Anyway, I think I have to go with you."
He is relieved that Swan didn't see him stumble.

"Sounds good enough. Let's go."
I enter the cave cautiously and stay close to the wall. The cave is very narrow and it is amazing that the dragon could fit in here at all. It is dark, but my eyes have a natural gift for seeing in near darkness, though not as well as some.
I make my way through the cave. There is no sign of the dragon yet.

Raz knocks on the door of the La Resistance apartment in Paris.

"You have visions and are a nymph. I don't find that too highly unusual, but then again, I am a mythical Finnish swan." I head towards the door.
"I am flying to Helsinki. If you like you can ride on my back. I will be in the form of a swan of course."

I wake up with a splitting headache, similar to the ones I would get when I would try to quit smoking, but when I light my first cigarette it doesn't go away. I realize that it's from the alcohol, and when I take a sip of vodka I start to feel better. I know that I am burying a lot of hurt, and that burying it won't help... But I haven't even had a chance to talk to any of my friends for awhile.

"I'm just an android. I don't know. I can't handle all of these emotions. I just don't know how to deal with it." Despair says as he backs away from Erika. He feels overwhelmed and powerless to help her.
"There is nothing I can do and say. This situation is beyond me. I am not even human."

I scan the area.
I'm going on ahead. Stay back.
I vanish, my invisibility so absolute that I am utterly undetectable, and stealthily creep forward.

Seven... no Eight opens its eyes.
"Ow," it remarks. Its voice, instead of reflecting annoyance, reflects curiousity.
"That... hurt?" it asks, adapting to the strange sensation.
"This body has a nicer range of color, and a wider visible spectrum. I like it. Thank you so much my lord. You have my everlasting gratitude."
Eight attempts to sit up.

"You're a better human than I am..." I mutter. But i sigh and dry my tears, and try to lighten the air. "Tell me about some of the pleasant things in life. What brings us joy in this world?"

"That would be... lovely. I um... teleportation doesn't sit well with me," Andrew mumbles.
"Thank you."

"Serving Red Infinity." Despair replies numbly. He has tried to become more machine like since his return to Red Infinity. It helps him to overcome the guilt he would otherwise feel in regards to his role in the Zwei incident.

"Good, I expect you to earn mine. But don;t rush. You have just been implanted into this new body, it will take some time to get used to... Also as per your request it has been, well, clipped. There will be some soreness for a few days but that too will fade. Is there anything else you desire?" I ask. I am not renowed for my genorousity, but especially after F3442's failure I try to keep the superhumans as content as possible, to further reduce the risk of a second defection...

"I will be serving soon enough. I mean what do you do for pleasure, other than work?" He is right though, I am not a fool. I know that many people would like to see the both of us dead for what I did... And they may yet be satisfied, for one cannot predict the future.

I step outside and walk away from the house. I then transform into a beautiful giant swan. I lower my wing and scoop Andrew onto my back.
"Hold on tightly. I hope you don't get airsick. It will be an hour and a half flight."
I wait for him to position himself on my back before taking off for Helsinki.
