Misery struggled with Solace for a little while before Solace was knocked away. Misery fell to one knee, blood pouring from her body. It only took a few moments for the nanites to repair that particular area though. Misery patted the area, to make sure it was fine, then stood. She looked around, noticing all the copies were destroyed, then looked down at her shirt. "Another shirt destroyed. I am running our of clothes and this is getting ridiculous." Misery said with a sigh. Misery then looked over a the woman, setting up a defensive posture. "And who are you and what are you doing here?" One of Misery's birds landed on the womans shoulder and gave a tweet and Misery relaxed. "Well. I guess you cant be that bad then, can you?" She turned her head towards Asher, "Are you alright? You aren't hurt are you?" She moved over to him and checked him over carefully. "Those nanites protect you well, don't they?" Misery said with a smile. Deadra |

Arya stepped back a little bit, her cold expression vanishing now that there was nothing to fight, and she really just looked... well, she looked shy - like she was a little afraid of the two, though.... considering what she had just done... she probably had little to worry about... "I'm... Arya..." She watched as Misery moved over to the man, then she picked the bird up off her shoulder and peered at it curiously. "A hybrid?" Asher smiled a little bit, nodding to Misery "Yeah they do... what do you expect? They're yours, right?" He laughed just a little bit, finally able to relax as the silvery stuff vanished again. Arya was looking at his arm for a moment, then she looked to Misery and tilted her head "You're... like me?" She looked at her hand for a moment, a bit of blue blood dripping from it where the knife had grazed her, but the wound just sealed back up and she wiped the blood away before she looked up again "I didnt think there were any on this world... but you are..." |

Misery smiled at Asher, then turned to look at the woman. "Like you? What do you mean?" Misery asked, turning to look at the woman fully. "Did you just say I was like you?" Misery was indeed curious now. What if this woman WAS like her? She might be able to answer all of her questions! And lord knows she had a lot of them. Misery approached her then, "Where do you come from? What are you? Why do you look so much like me?" Misery looked up at the bird then, "I made him. I was lonely so I created some friends." Misery had momentarily forgotten about Asher in her curiosity over the woman. She pet the bird and smiled at it. "It was damaged along with the others recently, but I repaired them. They are as good as knew now. the one in the tree over there like Asher a lot." Misery explained. Deadra |

"I mean that we are the same... species" She searched for that word for a moment, but considering how confused the other sounded, it seemed the most appropriate one to use. It was mostly accurate after all. Just semantics made it questionable. Asher looked at the blue blood for a moment and his eyes widened - she WAS like misery then...? "You're a synthetic made from nanites?" Arya took her eyes off Misery for a moment and nodded to him "And you are a human with a nanite augmentation... I have never seen a manifestation like that before, though... it would require stem nanites from an Ayeri core... that is what we are." She added the last, looking back down to Misery and shaking her head a little bit "You know none of this? But you... you are far older than I..." She reached out a moment and put her hand on Misery's cheek - there was a sudden bolt of sensation - ia prickling of sorts, and a few blue lines ran up Arya's arm before she took her hand away, looking all the more curiously at Misery. "You are an Ayeri, but you are old as the oldest... and you are not an Aesir, nor are you one of the models from Asgard... I... I do not understand, your nanites match but the pattern is unknown to me... look out!" Her eyes flashed suddenly, and Solace burst out from the lake, flying directly at the two girls. Arya held her hands out at her sides suddenly, and a light shone from just behind her, glittering, translucent wings forming of pure energy and folding down between Misery and Solace. Where the copy punched, the wings turned pitch black, and Solace was suddenly thrown back by the energy. The wings dissappated as quickly as they had appeared, and Arya drew her pistol again, but the construct was gone. She looked about one last time, then she put her gun away again. "As I said... Carla would refer to those as 'cheap knockoffs'... I am Aesir, a product of project VALKYRIE, codename LENNETH zero-one. But my friends all call me Arya..." Asher gaped for a moment at the barrier - that... had been something he would have termed impossible. It turned black at the impact, did that mean... was she really using zero-point fields so delicately...? Managing to control it so as not to hurt anything around her...? |

Misery looked a little confused for a moment, "Older? But you seem older then I am...you know more...." Misery held still as Arya touched her and when she took her hand away she touched her cheek where her hand had been. "What did you do?" Misery whirled as Solace burst through the lake and was a little stunned on the barrier. She was going to try and touch it, but it vanished just as quickly. She turned to Arya again, but the code names and such meant nothing to her. "Nice to meet you Arya. I am Misery, and this is Asher." Misery said motioning to herself and Asher. Misery paused suddenly, remembering the name her "father" gave her. Should she give her that name instead? She was just so used to using Misery, she keeps forgetting she has another name. "The nanites Asher has inside of his arm are from me." Misery explained. "As are the ones within the birds." Misery looked off in the direction Solace went off in, wondering about her. "Cheap....knockoff...." Deadra |

"Well I... only seem older...." She shook her head a little bit "Alain always says I'm too serious, it's probably because I was made for combat... I'm only five, though..." She bit her lip, actually looking somewhat like a child, despite the fact that she looked closer to twenty or something along those lines. Asher waved a little bit as he was introduced, and Arya smiled slightly "It's nice to meet you both, I... I think I came out of the portal in the wrong place but I'm glad I wound up with nice people... even if there are not nice people after your stem core, Misery..." Asher frowned slightly "Core?" Arya nodded "Yes, without that, I could not regenerate. Misery is the same, so I imagine it is also that way for her. Nanomachines do not live as long as normal cells, and some of them cannot reproduce on their own, much like human cells. The stem core is a cluster of special nanomachines that serve to both replace and upgrade existing nanites. An Ayeri would not live long without it... it's like our heart..." Asher shook his head again "So that's what they're after... its the key to what you are..." Arya nodded again "That is fairly accurate. Usually it is well protected, however... it is somewhat worrisome that that copy was able to penetrate your protection there. " |

Misery touched her chest, where her core would be and wondered about it. So...it was like her heart. Without it she would die, and Solace was trying to steal it from her! "That one...is not such a cheap knock off. The man...that had me before....he stole a lot of things from me and my father. I think he used these things to build the one that is able to reach so deep within my chest." Misery looked up at Arya after staring down at the ground. "So...you are only five years old? Is it possible for you to tell me how old I am? What exactly is project VALKYRIE? How is it that you came from a "portal"? Where did you originate from?" Question were flooding into Misery's mind and she wanted to ask them all at once, but know she could only ask one at a time. Deadra |

Asher shook his head slightly, then he kissed Misery's cheek and walked away a bit "I'm going to make sure they cant find us again... if they're doing what I think, I should be able to jam it." Arya looked to him "Try frequency seven eight point two." "What scale?" "12-18" "Got it" He nodded - she could pick that up without any sort of device? Well... if she realy was a combat model... Arya looked back to Misery then and frowned slightly "Than she is a more advanced copy... there are ways to penetrate the core layer, especially if she has an integrated molecular scalpel designed for that purpose... your father must have had one. He is what you call your creator, correct? That is what I call mine, though I do not see him very often since coming into the military... and yes, I am only five, though I am made to look as an adult... a child model would not be as effective. I guess... I'm somewhat between... some tel me I act like a child sometimes, but I try to be mature..." She shrugged a little bit, biting her lip slightly again, then she looked back up to her and nodded "Your coding is 134 years old. Though you may be a bit younger, it usually takes two years to create a full Ayeri... it took three for me, because I am a prototype... And, um... Valkyrie was the project tasked with designing a full synthetic that could participate in the war... I am the result. I came through a portal here with my best friend and two others, but... I do not see them... we came from Terra. You must have, at some time... after all, you carry the same base genetic code that I do... we are sisters." She smiled softly "You are the first I have met that is truly like me, though... the rest of our sisters do not emerge from their realm very often..." |

Misery smiled at Asher, then focused her attention back on Arya. "One hundred and thirty four years...." Misery said. "How long can we live....?" Misery asked out of the blue. Certain thoughts lingered in her mind. S he knew that one day Asher might die, like her father did, and she would be alone again. This time, there would be no one to erase the memories either. Misery was a little shocked when Arya called her sister. "Sister? Is that true? Are we really sisters? Do we really have more sisters? What Realm are you speaking of? What is Terra like? How did I get here.... How did father get here....?" Misery knew Arya wouldn't be able to answer her last few questions, but she asked them anyway. Maybe she could give some sort of clue as to how and why and Misery could figure it out from there. Misery's mind floated off to the thought of having to live on without Asher again, and it really saddened her. She didn't want to think about it, but she could help it at all. Deadra |

"How long...?" She looked thoughtful for a few moments "Well... humans on Terra can live to be over two hundred, so I imagine we live at least that long... but considering our nanites reproduce perfectly, without the gradual degradation of human cells... theoretically we would never age... but the first Ayeri ever made was born only 130 years ago... noone really knows how long we live, Misery... it could be that eventually our cores will fail and we will die... or maybe we live forever..." She shook her head a little and looked to Misery "I wonder about it a lot... and yes, there are about three hundred of us total, though most have not been seen in a very long time, because they decided to close the door to the Spire... it is what the first Ayeri were made for, to take care of the Spire. It is... like a tower, except it goes down, all the way to the core of the world. It provides the city Atlantis with power to protect itself, but humans cannot live in the Spire, cannot care for it. So they made Ayeri to take care of it, but thirty years ago the Ayeri all decided to close the doors and not let anyone in anymore, or come out... noone knows why, but they still do their job... there are five of us outside. Myself and my twin, and three others that are children... still growing. They haven't woken yet... I want to meet them when they do" She smiled and looked up a moment "They're combat models like I am... there's an awful war on Terra... and... well it's our job to protect humans... thats what I always believed. Alain always tells me it's up to me what I think I am for, though... so... I think it's up to all of us, right? But as for you and your father... must have found a portal somehow... Alain did, he came here by accident, but he made it back. Maybe... your father found a way by accident? You came with? Or were you made here..? Some of the metals are different in your nanites..." |
