<em>Suzu</em>had been fast asleep in a darkened corner of<em>Ari</em>'s bedroom out of direct sight as her core slept. She had taken to performing the vigil over her because it was something that made her feel comfort. She didn't know why but it made her feel better to know someone was personally watching<em>Ari</em>'s core. It had been the middle of the night when<em>Texas</em>'s wild call out of what was going on. As her processor came online she felt the ship moving. Her mind panic as she turned to<em>Ari</em>'s core only to see the bed empty and the bed...ruffled. "Nani..." she found herself saying as she moved to inspect the bed. After looking it over there was no denying it,<em>Ari</em>'s mental model was moving around. "But is it her...?" she half wondered before the lights came on as the ship slipped beneath the waves. As it did<em>Suzu</em>moved from the pilot house cabin out onto the deck as the ship came to a stop. As she did she saw the light bridge<em>Ari</em>'s created between her and someone else, but who? She moved to stand on the number 1 turret only to see another bridge extend and make contact with<em>Ari</em>'s<br/><br/>As she looked on even<em>Suzu</em>'s eyes grew wide when she<em>saw</em>who it was. "No way..." she breathed seeing much like<em>Ari</em>was doing<em>Aya</em>'s true form. She simply stood there in complete shock of what she was seeing before her. She could see them talking about something but she couldn't hear what they were saying. Though from the motions she did she<em>Suzu</em>knew something was going on and something profound. She felt her jar fall the moment she saw<em>Ari</em>'s pull<em>Aya</em>in and kiss her forehead. Something in her ticked at watching the other girl being hugged. An almost ache in her processor as she found herself leaping down from the turret. She didn't know why she did but she did. Her face was flushed as her she couldn't understand why her nano-machines were running so hot. "<em>My flagship</em>..." she said after a moment.<br/><br/>Few minutes before...<br/><br/>As she was walking out on the deck of the ship Number<em>6</em>turned as she suddenly beheld<em>Ari</em>'s visage standing on her deck. Those long crimson locks, illuminated by nothing more than the silvery light of the full moon above her. It was simply more than the little sub-node could take. She reached down to the ship and began to pull some of the nano-material from the deck itself. She quickly formed it into a high-speed ultra-zoom lens camera and aimed it at<em>Ari</em>. The shutter on the camera began to work overtime as it snapped shots of the flagship's mental model standing on her bridge. "Oh yeah work it baby. Work it baby." she said as the other sub-nodes shook their collective heads.
