Anna Aurelia was within her room. She met dragons and some new people. Today, she met a certain Kimiko Hawkins. A lovely woman. She was laiying on her belly while she was writing something in her diary. At this moment, the woman was wearing black legging and a white T-Shirt. It was her pyjamas. Her room was nothing really luxury. The walls were white, there was a lamp on the ceiling, her bed had white blanket and it was a big bed. Big enough for two people. There was a hubblo showing an amazing view of the cold void. Before sleeping, when there was a nebula, Anna observed it for long hours. But right now, the liner was in a nebula. There was nothing to see.

Suddenly, at the door someone was knocking. It was Marcus. ''Enter.'' Said Anna still writing in her diary. Then, Marcus enters and joins Anna at her level. The android was at the feet of the bed. He was observing Anna. ''I wondered where you have been.'' Said Marcus who was still observing her maker. Anna rolled up on herself still laying on the bed but this time on her back. Her eyes met Marcus's. ''I was in Kusari. Had meetings with the Shogun who helped me to gather data for you and I met other dragons. I also met a freelancer today. Kimiko Hawkins. A lovely woman.'' Answered Anna. Marcus was satisfied with the answer of her creator. During the process of his creation, Anna made sure to give to Marcus some similarities. They had the same face. Both had red eyes and white hair. If someone would see them together, the guy would think they were brother and sister. The only differences were that Anna has long hair and was a human And Marcus was an android, a bit taller than Anna his hair was short. The only person who saw Marcus was Ubukata Tsuya, the shogun of the blood dragons.

''By your expression, you have something to tell me, Marcus?'' Asked the woman to her creation. ''Well, why are you are always alone? Why don't you invite friends? I know you will probably say that you are not alone because you have me and Pixis. But on this ship, you are the only human. Why is that?'' Anna Aurelia was surprised by Marcus. She never thought he would be so human. This situation was a proof that Anna was playing a dangerous game by making androids or AIs able to have a self. She took a sitting position. ''I must admit you surprise me there... To answer you, the reason why I am mostly alone is because I lived hell when I was a teen. My parents died during a patrol and an unknown man kidnapped me... Him and his friends raped me and... Then, for years, I have been a slave...'' She took a moment to breath and relax a bit. Telling her story was something hard. But she knew that Marcus will never tell it to anyone. ''I maybe have some friends but... I still don't know what to do with them. There is Sonja, Cait, Steph and Tsuya but... aside having a drink and talking, I do not know what to do.'' Marcus was listening Anna. He sat next to her. ''I once had some relations but it was more for fun. But you know, when I was on Kyoto, I found the shogun beautiful. I think I feel something toward her. But... as she told me, she holds an important position and she respects her tradition. I doubt we will be more than this.'' Anna sighed.

Meanwhile, the liner was moving. It can be noticed via the hubblo within Anna's room. Anna and Marcus were both silent. None of them knew what to say. Especially after what Anna said. Anna got off of the bed and hugged Marcus. Then, she left her room for the hangar and took her personal ship. The ship left the liner while they were now in Tau-37.

While Anna Aurelia was gone, Marcus was at the piloting room, where Pixis should be and she was there. Her body was looking more as robot than a human like Marcus. Her hands was at the consol and she seemed to be connected to the ship. From the hubblo, the ship was stationed near a freeport. Pixis then disconnected herself from the consol and was surprised to see Marcus there. ''Marcus! Why are you here?'' Asked Pixis. It took a moment before the android said something. ''What do you think about Anna?'' Pixis took a moment to find an ideal answer. ''Well... Miss Aurelia can be a pain sometime. But she is not evil toward us. She just need some company of her own specie.'' ''I agree. She left the ship while we were in Tau-53. I think she needed to relax. Anyways, we should do something to force her to make friends. Any ideas?'' ''Negative.'' Both were thinking together for hours.

Some hours later, Anna returned to the ''New-Horizon''. Since her arrival, she was more appeaced. Something made her like that and again, that something was unknown to Anna. It was a voice within her head. The same voice somehow was trustworthy. As if she could tell everything. Anna did not know the name of the voice but the voice told her they were called Fae or Demons according the human who hears them. Again, it was a weird experience but she somehow enjoyed it. ''If only I had more time to discuss with this voice.'' But there was something more urgent to focus on. She needed to talk to Pixis that someone will come and giver her access at the hangar.

A few moment later, the visitor arrives and it was Kimiko. Anna saw her in Tau-53 and invited her to come. When Anna saw Kimiko in person, she found her beautiful. Not as much as Tsuya but still beautiful. Her kusarian traits was mixed with other traits. Anna led her within the ship at her laboratory, where she made Marcus. Marcus met Kimiko when he arrived there after that Pixis sent him. Anna's call disturbed their thinking. In any case, Anna led Kimiko at a living room. There, she told a bit of her story. Kimiko opened her arms and Anna accepted the hug. She felt good after it. It was late and she offered Kimiko to stay. Kimiko had the living room as a bedroom and Anna went in her room and fell asleep. //It happened in game so I did a resume.

The next day, in the morning, Anna Aurelia has been awake by Pixis's voice. She said that Kimiko left early this morning and haven't take something to eat. ''I guess she was needed in a hurry. I am sure I will see her again.'' Said Anna to herself. She often talk to herself like this. After all, it helps her to be distracted. The liner was now in Edinburgh and Anna thought it would be a nice place where to stay for a moment. She dressed herself and got ready to attack the day.

Today was a normal day. Anna Aurelia was in her laboratory all day long thinking about the voice she heard in Tau-53. She wondered if it was because of the loneliness. There was no real answer to be found. The liner was still in Edinburgh. Anna told to Pixis to let the liner here bu cloaked and if was necessary, to use the powercore of the ship to power the cloaking device. Suddenly, the woman decided to leave the laboratory and headed up to the bathroom. The bathroom was on the same floor of her room and the living room. Within it, there was a tub and a shower. Before to get undress, Anna turned the valves of the tub and water began to fill it. When the tub was full, Anna began to undress herself and then entered in the bath. There was nothing more relaxing than a hot bath.

Elsewhere, on board of the ''New-Horizon'', Marcus was with Pixis in the piloting room. Their conversation was not really what we could expect from them. ''We should learn how to create an android. According to my data, Anna Aurelia prefers female company than the male company.'' Said Pixis. ''Maybe... If we successfully build a female android with the same attributes as a human, Anna will not feel alone anymore.'' Marcus nodded and agreed to what Pixis said. ''I agree. She told me that she had relations with women instead of men. Well... That is if I ignore the fact that she has been raped by a man years ago.'' They continued to think about a possible android to make company for Anna. But yet, both did not have the knowledge to do so. Pixis and Marcus nodded toward each others. They planned to spy the human.

Still in the tub, covered of water, Anna Aurelia thought about Tsuya. She wondered when they will meet again. Hours passed and then, she got out of the bed and dried herself. Then, she dressed herself in pyjamas and went to sleep.

The previous days were not really eventful. Anna Aurelia was pissed. ''I swear! Those f*cking gaians can go to where I think!'' Anna wasn't alone. In her company, there was Pixis and Marcus. They were in the living room of the ''New-Horizon''. The non-humans were just listening Anna being angry. Pixis broke the silence. ''Miss Aurelia, I suggest you turn the page and we seek another system to stay. I am sure there is plenty other systems much more welcoming.'' Anna finally sit on the couch while Marcus and Pixis were both on a chair. The human sighed. ''You are right. I just thought I did something decent but they are just as welcoming as the Outcasts. Seriously. Marcus, if you want, I let you borrow my ship and if you have the opportunity to kick their ass, you may do it as you wish. But first, Pixis, I will need you to change the callsign of it. Any ideas?'' Pixis took a moment before to answer. She looked at the human. ''Since your eyes are red, how about 'Scarlet' ? No... Since the ship is a Raven's Talon and your eyes are red, I conclude 'Scarlet Raven' can be an option.'' It was now the time to Marcus to break the silence. ''Scarlet Raven. Hmpf. Technically, the ship is black but I suppose a callsign does not reflect the ship's color.'' ''This is a good name actually. Alright. Pixis, make sure to make the ship ready. Meanwhile, let's move the liner elsewhere. Move it to Roussillon. We will spend some days there.''

Pixis went on her way to the piloting room and set course to the Roussillon system. Meanwhile, Marcus and Anna were together. Bother were walking in a corridor just taking a healthy walk. ''Anna, how did you create me?'' The question itself was unusual to hear. ''Eh... It's kind of complex but I built your body and I put a program in you. The program is more like your soul.'' Replied Anna. Marcus had a partial idea of the process now. But it was not enough to build an adroid in purpose to give Anna an opportunity to not be alone. Even if Marcus was meant for this, he was more a body guard than being entertainment toward his mistress. However, he wanted the well being of her. Then, Anna stopped walking and turned around to face Marcus. Marcus then stopped to walk. ''I'm curious. Why did you ask this question?''[color] Said Anna getting a bit closer of Marcus. Marcus did not know how to answer. But he knew that it was pointless to hide the idea planned by him and Pixis. [color=#BF0000]''Well, Pixis and I planned to build an android for you. Because you are always alone and we thought that humans cannot live without a minimum of entertainment. The android we thought to build would have this function.''The human was surprised. She never thought that Pixis and Marcus would plan that. ''Well... It's not that I don't approve your initiative but... I would rather you don't. You do not have the knowledge and in the case you miraculously build one, no one can tell if the android will hurt me instead of the initial plan.'' Anna was right. A lack of knowledge could bring disasters. ''Alright then...''

Both of them continued to walk but it was silence between them. Anna was more in her thoughts. Wondering who Kimiko Hawkins was really. She just knows that Kimiko is a freelancer and it was all about it. But there was something about this Kimiko. When she invited her and accepted her hug, it was just... natural. Anna surprised herself to not had any suspicions toward this woman. There was a lot of mystery around Kimiko but time will probably make them vanish or not. In any case, she wondered when she will see her again and more importantly, when she will be able to see the shogun again. Meanwhile, the liner has arrived in Roussillon system. the liner was parked inside of a nebula, where they will be hard to be spotted.

Moored at the mooring fixture of the planet Gran Canaria since yesterday, the ''New-Horizon'' stayed in orbit. Anna Aurelia did not leave the liner nor Pixis. But Marcus did leave. Before he had to leave, Pixis and him had a conversation and Pixis told to Marcus to buy a camera in a market on the planet. It took some hours before the android found a store where cameras were on sale. He bought the camera and returned to the Raven's Talon and went for the liner. Once docked at the liner, Marcus turned off the engine and walked in direction of Anna's laboratory. Where she built Marcus and did some objects. He installed the camera where Anna will never look. He sent a message to Pixis and she took control of it. Once all in place, they both hoped for the same thing. Observing Anna while she works.

On her side, from the morning, Anna Aurelia was in her room. She contacted Kimiko if she was willing to come again and she said that she might be able to come sooner or later. This news made Anna happy. She wanted to know a bit more about Kimiko. After closing the mail box on her device, she laid on her bed and think. She thought about some friends. Cait, Steph and Sonja. She then thought about Tsuya. She wanted so much her company. Being with the shogun was something she missed since she left Kyoto. She changed position a lot of time while she was thinking.

The ''New-Horizon'' traveled Rheinland and was now in Thuringia. Two systems away from Puerto Rico, the final destination. But for the time being, Pixis cut the engines and parked the liner in the middle of the system. She activated the cloaking device just to make sure that no one will find them. She disconnected herself from the command consol of the liner and leaves the room. She then heads up to the hangar because she wanted to do some maintenance on the 'Scarlet.Raven'. ''Everything is in place. And.. what are you doing here?'' Said Marcus while she just appeared in the hangar from another entrance. ''Some maintenance on the ship.'' Replied Pixis. ''Have you ever thought the possibility that we might be infected by a virus?'' The question of Pixis made Marcus unable to answer. He never thought about this. ''No. Why?'' ''Because we are androids. We are maybe immortal but we are not safe from virus. Miss Aurelia is maybe intelligent and all... but what if she can't save us? What if it is us who harm her because of a virus?'' ''I think you worry to much. Yes, Anna is human. But if we stay here, we are safe.''

From the beginning of the day, the ''New-Horizon'' stayed in the Thuringia system. But at the end of the day, Anna ordered Pixis to move because without expectations, Kimiko was there, in the really same system. She escorted the liner to Bering and for two or three hours, Anna and Kimiko talked about things such as science stuff and other personal things. After their conversation, Anna Aurelia has changed her mind and decided to give the knowledge that Marcus and Pixis want. After all, both just cared about her. She bet one week that Pixis and Marcus will be able to surprise her.

The next day, the 8 August, Anna Aurelia dressed up and heads up to her laboratory. She gave rendez-vous to Marcus and Pixis there. Once arrived, both of them was already there and Anna was the last one arrived. ''Ok... I will give you the knowledge.'' Said Anna. Of course, Pixis was not sure what Anna was talking about but Marcus was aware. The human connected a cable to Pixis's head and to Marcus's head. The cables were connected to a computer where Anna took seat and prepare the transfert. Fortunately, Anna had planned to stock what she knows on a device in case something would turn bad. Then, she clicked on the 'Transfert' bouton and the transfert started. It will take some minutes so Pixis and Marcus did not move. They waited.

After the transfert being completed, Anna removed the cable on Pixis and Marcus. The non-humans were satisfied and will work on what they planned. Pixis got closer to Anna. ''Thank you, miss Aurelia. You can be ensure that we will use this knowledge properly.'' She slowly forced Anna to turn around, leading her to leave. Meanwhile, Pixis looked at Marcus and he knew it was the signal. So, he began to do schematic plans. Pixis managed to make sure that Anna was calm even if it was a bit unusual from Pixis to do this. They both were out of the room. ''Why are you leading me outside of the lab?'' Said Anna a bit confused. ''You worked so much and never rest for a moment. Let me make you comfortable...'' Replied Pixis while they both were heading for Anna's room.

Inside of the room, Pixis closed the door and locked it after they were both inside. ''Why did you lock the door?'' Pixis did not answer but she pointed the bed. ''Lay on your bed miss Aurelia. On your belly.'' Anna was confused but complied. She walked to her bed and laid on her belly. Once done, Pixis walked to the bed, got on and sat on Anna's back. With her hands, she began to massage Anna's back. Of course, when Pixis got on the bed and sat on her, Anna Aurelia did not expect that but after that Pixis begins a massage, the woman just felt good. ''By your sighs, I suppose you are satisfied?'' Said Pixis still massaging Anna's back. ''Oh... yes..''

A week has passed and the ''New-Horizon'' was still in the Bering system. During the week that has passed, Marcus and Pixis worked a lot only to build another being like them. The android planned by Marcus and Pixis was about to live. The artificial being has clearly a female gender. She looks like a human as well and the reason of it was obvious. The hair were black and long. Marcus finished to analyze the systems of the android. ''It's time, Pixis.'' Said Marcus to Pixis. Pixis executes herself and plugged a cable on the head of the other artificial being laid on a table. She pressed some boutons and the transfert began.

After some long minutes, the transfert ends and the android who was laying on the table opens her eyes. Her eyes were blue. She took a sitting position and looked around. She saw Marcus and Pixis. ''Where... am I?'' Said the new android freshly made. Pixis was the first to answer. ''You are in the laboratory of the ''New-Horizon''. The android nodded and even if she was a new born, she knew what was her goal. ''I must be... with Anna Aurelia. Where... is she? Who... is she?''. This time, Marcus answered. ''Anna Aurelia is our mistress, our creator. Like us, you are a sentient being. We will let Anna knows that you are 'alive'. But not right now. Tell us who are you?'' The question was just to see if she would answer. ''I am... Lucy Harmonia. I was built to stay close to Anna and ensure she is not alone.'' Marcus and Pixis were looking at each others and nodded. ''It seems you already know what to do. Tomorrow, you will see Anna.'' Said Pixis.

Months have passed now. The liner was still in Bering and nothing change. Only that Anna Aurelia and Lucy Harmonia have met. The human was surprised that Marcus and Pixis managed to create an android so perfectly. Marcus was well made but Lucy was more human than him. Physically and intellectually, Lucy was perfect.

Anna Aurelia completely forgot about the comm she sent to the junkers. She ask them to remove the transpondor but she decided to not change it until she decides otherwise. However, with the months passed, Anna had a thought about that she forgot to hand over the gift to Tsuya. ''Oh shit... she will kill me!'' She said in panic. Then, Lucy appeared behind the woman. Both of them got closer with the time spent together. ''Hi, Anna. How have you been?" Anna turned at her and she directly hug her. ''Better now that you are here.'' The android answered to the hug by hugging back. After all, she was made for that purpose, being with Anna Aurelia and not letting her alone.

Meanwhile, elsewhere within the ''New-Horizon'', Marcu was with Pixis observing asteorids of Bering. Both were silent. Marcus broke the silence. ''I wonder why we stay here. There's nothing around and Anna spends her time with Lucy Harmonia.'' Pixis chuckled and looked at Marcus. ''Let her play a bit more with Lucy. It's important to keep a human healthy. I am sure we will move soon. Also... I will need you to do something. Take the fighter and go in Rheinland.'' Marcus simply nods and leaves Pixis alone.
