She would be where she was needed most to protect her flagship. She sailed alongside the large battleship as she slowly watched the sigils on Ari's hulls dim a little bit as the ship's mental model entering sleep mode. She sighed a bit as she jumped onto the deck of the ship letting her ship form sail on auto-pilot, and adjusting herself to maintain her distance to Ari. It didn't take her long to find where on the ship Ari's mental model was "sleeping." She smiled seeing how Ari had minimalized her computing power. She knelt next to Ari's sleeping form a soft smile on her face. She had been a bit worried when Ari had gone into that private conversation. "I will always protect you." she said to her as her hand gently caressed Ari's cheek. "Sleep now my Flagship and I will guard you as you slumber. No harm shall come to you be it in thought, in word or in action so long as you are under my vigil." she said standing up and assuming a sitting postion at the base of Ari's bed, her spear propped against her shoulder.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Arizona awoke about 3 hours later, it was the dead of night, and she could hear, and "Feel" the lapping of the waves against her bow as they continued to steam towards their destination, following Iya's route. As Arizona looked around in the Darkened Cabin, a glint of light caught her eye. It was Suzu's spear. The "Samurai" mental Model was sitting at the foot of her bed, and appeared to be lightly dozing. Her face was so serious, and calm. Arizona looked at Suzu a moment, and tilted her head. Suzu was always so straight laced, and dedicated, why was she exiled to the Island with the rest of them? Why was she? That was the one question that has plagued Arizona since she gained her Mental Model. Why were<em>They</em>abandoned.<br/><br/>Arizona slipped from the bed, and stood up. THe pale moonlight filtering in from the porthole make her fair skin seemed to glow as she stood there completely nude. Her long crimson hair hanging down her body. SHe manifested a soft blanket and gently draped it around Suzu before before Arizona gave the samurai a soft smile. Returning to her bed, she fell back asleep until morning.<br/><br/>========================================<br/><br/>Soon, several specks could be seen off on the horizon. It was the Hawaiian Islands. Hawaii, like much of the world suffered greatly once the Fleet of Fog Blockade took affect. The Rising water levels having sunk vast parts of the islands, and severely reduced usable Farming lands. So Famine ran amok the first couple of years after the blockade, resulting in a much more diminished human population. Arizona stood upon the bow of her ship, and looked at the islands intently. Something about them were drawing her to them. Calling out to her. WHat was it? Why should she even care about Land masses? She grimaced as she was very uncomfortable with this rather odd sensation, she believed it was called Deja' Vu. Yet, exploring the island could be a good way to discern the state of the Fog, and World at large for those of them that hasn't been apart of it for over the last decade.
