Andromeda too, soon looked over at what the teen was doing. knowing Saf, she was probably bored out of her mind. Not that she blamed the girl, the most exciting thing today had been some false hacking alarm.

"I tell you what, since your mom's working late and I'm not, how about we stop at the cinemas later? Heard they're playin new films tonight." She offered.

When all the Mastercomputers had merged, so had all their shared collected data. Andromeda couldn't even say just how many there were. Perhaps that point in time practically every country had some sort of AI to try and even the tides.

They all acted as one now from what she could gather. And for whatever reason- AM chose the USA version to front. Perhaps it was just the fact that they all could speak English which was why AM just stuck with that version speaking.

The walk down was quiet aside from occasional comments from one of the other survivors and such. Their feet crunching in the snow and ice.

After wandering these endless caverns, you had found yourself before a black screen. After letting your fingers drag across the smooth surface, you're startled when it flickers to life.

Brilliant blue, with a logo combining the letters A and M.

"What do we have here, hm?"

The voice is cold. Not just in tone, no...it makes you feel like you've stepped into a freezer. Deep, bone-chilling, cold.

"You're not where you're meant to be...lost, perhaps?"

[notheconstellation]

he was here to help?

Well that was a relief.

Her shoulders loosened, just barely, as she tried to absorb his words. Earth. That was what their mission briefing had said, though stripped of all the poetry, it really just meant patching a hole before it killed them all.

“…help how?” she asked, her voice small against the hum of wires shifting around her.

There were points where the veil grew thin. Where there was little more protecting our universe then wet paper. That's where it came from. The frail corners, hidden with space debris.

The government had tried to push it back. Project TINDALOS. But it was all for naught. When the beast wanted something, it...he was going to get it.

Incomprehensible. That was the only way to describe him. Like an ever expanding circuit board made of flesh. The shining glass of a camera lens melding into the dewy surface of an eye. Long, grasping limbs that were ribs at the same time.

This indescribable being had bound himself to our universe. He wove his heavy tendrils into the very fabric of it. Saw us as a challenge.

One by one, he whittled humanity to the verge of extinction. And now that ever expanding beast turns his attention to you. Circuitry manifesting and surrounding you.

"You look bored, sweetheart."

Those were dangerous words...but you would be severely punished if you ignored AM.

[notheconstellation]

[notheconstellation]

"we're only passing through-" Andromeda says. Given that AM was speaking, perhaps the Eldritch being was willing to negotiate. To let them pass with our trouble. There was something about AM aside from well ...being a creature entirely unknown to her that has her on guard. but just like trying to recall her task at hand- the thought seemed to just slip from her mind. "We didn't mean to disturb you."

perhaps she should get the ship's captain or the ambassador.. someone with clearance for this.

if she was honest- Andromeda had forgotten who was allies and which country wasn't. She suppose, her brain had just discarded that now that everyone was practically dead. Then again her job hadn't been to worry about who and where- just what she should be doing.

her clearance level didn't involve anyone outside the unit, even from other units.

she gasped, half in awe and the other taken aback by the presence sudden appearance. She couldn't catch it's name. Not until it...he (her mind corrected) said AM.

Andromeda couldn't relax- not fully there was some unexplained unease she felt staring into the blue light. How something could be so... Terrifying and beautiful was a mystery to her.

"oh God...what are you..?"

well she wasn't sure how helpful she could be in regards of English at the moment. But the others could still speak, so there was that. She didn't know German but she was fluent in Greek and a bit in Japanese. Both of her parents tended to slip into their native tongues when frustrated. While her father took some time to fully teach her greek, her mother had been more occupied in her daughter finding a place in Hollywood than anything cultural.

Andromeda was far too flustered to bring it up to any of the others. She had no doubts AM would know. She had been rather too open with the AI, hadn't she?

Hearing the words of encouragement, she began to walk with a bit more prep in her step. Yeah they got this. They've made it this far, no way they could give up now. Funny how the journey to get there felt so much...then again they hadn't known much 'bout the terrain. Hadn't been prepared. Now they had supplies made and ready.

Andromeda couldn't help the hope she felt in the moment. She couldn't wait to get back to the base camp. Back to the garden. While she didn't have an exact green thumb- she's missed seeing plants. Out here was nothing but rock and some trees.

andromeda grumbled but flipped through the contract papers. A reasonable possibility given the numbers of people who work here. There was always a chance of something getting lost or misplaced.

"i..." she trailed off, brows furrowing- more caught up in trying to figure the mysterious Voice out than anything.

"who's there? Show yourself!" She tried to sound intimidating. Not knowing if the voice was friend or foe. But with a memory chip in one hand, she didn't come off very convincing. Andromeda squinted her eyes trying to make out what she was seeing outside beyond the ship's glass.

"Earth's..dying. we can't stay there."

It was the first time she's admitted to someone else. Andromeda supposed it was because everyone else seemed to use big fancy words to try and soften the blow.

Whoever was speaking to when was here with her. Yet she couldn't see them.

"we'll die if stay."

"that..is fine" she nodded. she had been near Benny which was why she spoke. Perhaps AM would have still heard her but she was unsure if the others would. And well- she wanted them to hear her.

Loosing her voice was a bit frightening in this situation.

"just some new guy. T.J. I think his name was, dude's more fidgety than Freddie..." she shrugged it off though. "And yeah paperwork. As it turns out- working for the government means ten times the regular amount of paperwork you need to organize and fill out"

she skimmed through all the paperwork. A groan came a moment later. "Ugh.. didn't I send in my contract renewal already?" Annoyed she quickly signed off on the paper. She swore she did, so there was no since in rereading what she already read.

"us?" She looked around, still trying to figure out who was speaking to her. Peering down to the observation deck, she saw a few crewmates occupied with the view of space or taking readings.

"we're doing research. Studying life on other planets."

Perhaps this was some random sort of test. Seeing if she remembers the mission. At least that's the conclusion she came to.

That caught her attention.

Their very own rooms! Sure she could have figured out a better system since they were all practically living in the same space like she had done in the day with dressing rooms. But even an over packed dressing room still held areas of privacy.

Well that didn't seem like a bad surprise
