Suspicious Company

[Laola]

*Heading eastward through the empty meadow, Rebekah had to ask something of the General.*

"So, um, you're from the East, you say, yes? So we're heading toward your home?"

[the General]

"My home is Planet Zion. I was on a mission to Eden's Paradise when I was whisked out of my ship and sent here. I'm not happy about it. But that's the usual. Happyness just hasbt befallen me in like 555 years. But let's not get into my downwards spiral of a personal life" he would say

[Laola]

*Laola had a somewhat puzzled look on her face, which was elegant in comparison to the flaming WTF looks on the other two.*

Planet . . . Uh . . . Okay, so you were in this airship or spaceship, on a mission to a place by the name of Eden's Paradise, and you . . . were sent here how?

*Asher, along with the others, felt a bit uneducated, knowing very little of dimensional properties or the transcendence thereof.*

You said 555, right? Then, you're not a hume . . .?

[the General]

"I was travelling in a Columbus Class Cruiser. Its a Starship. And to you. I am human. I am human construct. A new species of human kind. Built and designed by myself and Supreme Commander Erik Miller. A construct is artificial. But if you took me apart I would bleed and have lungs and real meatly flesh and a nerve system and a brain. Even a soul. He would say. Marvelous technology isn't it?" he would say

[Laola]

An artifice with a soul . . .? You mean a pseudo-soul, then?

((Like we said in Y!M, remember?))

Starships and spaceships are pretty much the same thing . . . I'm sure that there are differences, but they are quite similar, right?

[the General]

"Spaceship was a term used in science fiction ages ago. We call them starships because it sounds more professional. That and spaceships are small and inpractical" he would say

"I am not an artifice I am human construct" he would say

[Laola]

((Artifice = manufacted thing. You're manmade; you're an artifice. A building is an artifice, an android is an artifice, an organization of techno-cell thingies that makes you an especially humanoid android is an artifice . . . Artifice = fake thing, and all things that are 'created' by humans are psuedo-created, as we can't create; we can only move/transform stuff. It's a basic principle of science. By the way, try to remember to capitalize "Construct," since your usage of the term is as a race.))

Oooookay, then . . .

*Asher rolled his eyes to this. He wondered if such thought processes were common in the outside world.*

Erm, a construct is an artifice . . .

[the General]

"It may be but we as a human species use Construct in a different context than you Lilith" he would say.

the General would pull out a small radion pistol common to all E.A.S.T. Empire soldiers. He would fire asingle shot in the air then cause it to vanish again.

[Laola]

*There was a bit of a pause, evidently because they were searching for words.*

Um . . . Okay, then? You have a further explanation . . .?

[the General]

"The way I use Construct is to describe a species created by man kind. The species is built from the Real Hologram System" he would say,

[Laola]

Ah, it's the name of your race, then . . . So, you're one of a man-made race, yes? That means that you are an artifice, and thereby, so is your "soul," see?

[the General]

"I was human first and my soul is inside Banriu" he sould say

[Laola]

Banriu . . .?

[the General]

"Its my sword" he would say pulling it out of a cube.

the massive blade would slam onto its wheeled tip driving the tip into the ground. Even though the blade was Duranium it was so heavy that is sunk into the ground. Why? because it contained the General soul and his soul was so weighed down with sadness it was heavy.

[Laola]

((Dramatic, much?))

*The liliths watched carefully, being sure that he wasn't drawing it to battle. They didn't even wanna' ask how a human soul was supposedly bound to a sword. They just continued to walk along.*

. . . Oooookay, then . . .
