Cassandra "Sunny" Sulivan was born and Raised onboard the Culebra Smelter in the Puerto Rico System. She Grew up under her Grandmothers loving Care. Sunny's mother left the Kid as she found out that Sunny was a Mute but her Grandmother loved Sunny no matter what and Took Care of the Girl. The Old woman did her best to Earn a Living for the two of them but Culebra wasn't exactly a safe spot to Life and so she had to Fight Cancer Multiple times over the Years. But the Tow of them always made it, to Have Sunny at her Side Gave the Old woman the Strenght to Life and Fight. She always said to Sunny "I am too Stubborn to Die while you cant take care of your own". Sunny Loved her Grandmother from the Bottom of her Heart and so she began to Learn the works of an Engineer as soon as she could hold a Screwdriver, she began with the Disassembly of Scrap and Learned more and more over the Years. with 9 she Disasmambled her First engine and with 13 she Recycled her first Entire Ship. It was an Old Starflyer that had Drifted in the Scrap Fields of New York and was towed to Culebra.
The Girl quickly became one of the best Engineers of Culebra, but her Grandma looked at Sunny with Concern that she would have the same life as she had and that the Cancer would get its Dirty Fingers into her too. just some Days before Sunny turned 22 the Doctor told her Grandma that the Cancer had returned and that there was nothing he could do but give her more time before the end came this time. he gave her a Year at best and 6 Months at worst. as the Old woman sits down with her Granddaughter for dinner that night she made the decision to get her away from Culebra and Puerto Rico. On the next Day, she Looked for a used sip and found an Old Recycler. The ship Needed some Love and Repairs but the Old Woman was sure that she had enough time left so she could give her Beloved Granddaughter a good Start away from Puerto Rico and its Radiation.
Over the Next year Sunny and her Grandmother worked on the Recycler, they switched out the Damaged or Broken Parts and Replaced them with Recycled or if there were no other options New Ones. All this time the Old Woman kept it a Secret from Sunny that she was Slowly Dieing, she wanted to give her Granddaughter as many happy memories as she could before she had to leave the world. And it worked as it was the most Precious time for Sunny to work with her Grandmother on the Recycler. In the end, they Managed to Restore the Ship one month before the Old woman couldn't hide her Condition Anymore, Sunny became Sad like never before in her life and she Cried a lot. After she knew what would happen she never left the side of her Grandmother anymore. The Other Junkers on Culebra helped the both of them as well as they could so that Sunny and her Grandmother had the Time they needed to make Peace with the Situation.
In the end Sunny learned to Accept the Situation, her Grandmother would always be there for her in her Heart. The two of them Spend the Last 2 Weeks before her Grandmother Died Traveling. Sunny brought her Grandmother to the Nearby Liberty and even when she had hoped at first that the Doctors there could Safe her Grandmother she had to find out that some things can't be fixed. On her Last day Sunny brought her Grandmother to a Sunflower field on Planet Los Angeles, she told her Granddaughter that she gave her Nickname Sunny because her smile always Remembers her at the Beautifull Yellow Flowers. The Two of them sit down under a Big Tree that day and watched the Sunset over the Flower field. And with the Last Rays of the Sun Sunny found out that her Grandma didn't fall asleep but Peacefully Passed away.
Sunny Cried as she Realized that she was Alone now. Her Beloved Grandmother was no more and she felt so Lonely and Sad, the Girl just sat there for Hours Crying and holding her Grandmothers hand. as the Sunn was Rising again she was found by the Wife of the Farmer that had Planted the Sunflower Field. As the woman saw what happened she Took Sunny in her Arms, the Girl was so sad and wanted to scream her grief into the world but she couldn't as she had no Vocal Cords. The Farmers Wife Realized that after a while and understood that Sunny was a Mute, the woman Smiled at Sunny and gave her Papernote and a Pencil so they could Communicate.
I am sorry for your Loss girl, but we have to Call the Authorities so your Grandmother can have a Proper Funeral.
Sunny Wrote on her Papernote to answer but some of her Tears were falling on the Sites and made it a bit hard to read for the woman, but in the end, she understood what Sunny wanted to say.
We are Junkers..... But I don't want her to be Buried like this. i...I don't want her to be Burned and shot into the Sun....i csobsCant she be Buried here? s..she loved Sunflowers...Sniff
The woman smiled at her and hugged Sunny to Calm her, she brought her to the Farmhouse and Made a Tea for the Girl before she called the Authorities so that Sunnys Grandmother would be Prepared for the funeral. Sunny and her Grandmother just wanted to enjoy the Litle time they Had Left together and didn't thought about the Funeral Before. But Sunny was Lucky, the woman, and her Husband were Kind Souls and helped Sunny through this Hard time. And they Allowed that Sunny's Grandmother was Buried under the Tree where the Two watched the Sunflowers together. One Week after her Grandmother Passed away she was Buried under the Tree, the Only People there were Sunny, the Farmers, and the Priest of a Local Church, and some Helpers. Sunny Cried the Whole-time as the Helpers slowly Lowered the Coffin into the Hole at the Tree. Again she wanted to Scream but she couldn't which made her Cry even more. Her hands were shaking as she gave her Grandmother a Sunflower into the Coffin. Without the Helping Hand of the Farmer's Wife that holds her up, Sunny would have Collapsed because the Sadness was too Strong for her to hold out. But with the Help, Sunny was able to Stay and Gave her Grandmother the Respect she Deserved.
The Rest of the Day was covered by some kind of mental Fog, Sunny Behaved like a Living Dead and just Reacted to her Surroundings but wasn't really there. It took Sunny some days to Find back to her Usual Self. the Farmers took Care of the Girl as if she was her own and gave Sunny time to Grief and find Peace with her loss. In the end, Sunny Stayed 2 Weeks with the Farmers and helped them on the Fram to Repay them for their Kindness. before she left them Sunny Visited the Grave of her Grandmother and Planted a Sunflower on it, a Litle Plate on the Tree showed who found her Final Resting Place there.
Here Lays Cathrine Sulivan, Beloved Grandmother.
752 A.S till 828 A.S
May you Walk through Sunflower Fields till we See each other again. "Sunny"
After she Signed a Goodby and Promised to Return Sunny Climbed into the ship she had Restored with her Grandmother and Started the Engines. In the last Weeks, she had talked a lot about the Stars With her Grandmother. Sunny had Promised her that she would travel and see new things, and Sunny had Promised her Grandmother never to Return to Puerto Rico and to stay away from Intense Radiation. Sunny Started the Ship with a Sad Smile on her face and waved a last time to the Grave of her Grandmother before she Turned the Ship towards the Stars. She would Return to her Grandmother once she had Learned new things to Tell her About them.
After she said goodbye to her Grandmother Sunny flew into space, she had no idea where she should go to but she knew she wanted to see new things and so she just Followed her Instincts. the First stop of hers was the New York System, where she met 2 Pilots in Orbit of Planet Manhattan. The two of them were in a Fight with the Navy but after they won against the Navy the Two Pirates were quite nice. They even knew the Sign Language and Talked with Sunny. but soon they had to go and Sunny was alone Again, but the Two were nice and Sunny Was happy that she had met them.
After the Pirates were gone Sunny Steered her ship without any Clear Destination. in the end she Reached Kusari and even though the people there were Hostile Towards her she was Fascinated by the Beauty of the Systems and so she decided to stay and look around. Sunny didn't understand why the people of Kusari were Hostile to her but she didn't let that scare her away. and it was good like this then Sunny met another Nice Person in the Honshu System.
It was a Crysantemum Called Misaki and even when she didn't Understand Sign Language Sunny found a Way to Communicate with her, Sunny just used a Papernote and a Pencil to do the Talking. Misaki was nice and Sunny enjoyed the Conversation with her. the Other woman was Nice and Friendly and Sunny enjoyed her Company, The Girl hadn't had much Social Contact in the Past and was a bit Insecure but she loved to meet new people.
After a while, a second woman came to them and Joined the Talk her name was Ashlyn. Sunny and Ashlyn talked about many things, they had fun together, and with the Time Passing Sunny warmed up a bit and told Ashlyn and Misaki more Private things about her Past and her Grandmother. But all good things had come to an end sometimes and as Sunny became Tired she Followed Ashlyn and Misaki to a Freeport where she stayed the Night. Sunny Smiled Bright before she fell asleep and was sure she would Meet Misaki and Ashlyn Again.
After a While between the Stars, Sunny Returned to Los Angeles to Visit her Grandmas's Grave at the Sunflower Field. Sunny had to tell her so much and even when it Saddens her that Grandma wasn't there anymore it also gave her peace that her grandma Rested in such a Beautiful Place. Sunny Sits Dow under the Tree and Looked at the Sunflower Field. just some more Weeks and the Harvest could begin, but the Sunflower on her Grandmothers' Place would be left alone. Sunny Smiled Sad as she Began to tell her Grandma in Sign Language what happened.
Hey Grandma I have met so many nice people and saw so many new things. I don't know where I should begin? o I know I will begin with Bennet, he is an Officer of the 46th Navy and Realy Nice. And he knows how to speak Sign Language. I Like to Talk with him, and he is a Bit Protective. But I don't have the Courage to ask him for a date.
she Giggles Silently and smiled as she thought about the Eetings with Bennet. he was a Nice and Friendly guy and Sunny Liked him really much as a Friend.
Oh, and I have met some Freelancers today. they were a bit weird but really Friendly and Nice to me. We Flew together for a while and we were also at Rochester. It was weird to see a Junker Station again, I don't know why but I have avoided other Junkers since you have Passed away. It has Hurt a bit to see a Junker Station and it has Reminded me of Culebra, but I will keep my promise and stay away from Puerto Rico and other High Radiation Systems Like it.
Sunny Stayed for a Long time at the Grave of her Grandmother and Told her Everything Like Sunny had she was still with her. As the Night Came Sunny Left her Grandmother with a Smile but also a Tear in her Eyes. She would Return soon and Tell her Grandmother what happened in her life. And as sunny Wanted to Leave she had the Feeling of an Encurageing Hug like her Grandma always gave one to her and it made sunny Smile.
Sunny was in New York again she was working hard to get a better ship and Recycled Ships and Equipment in the Scrapfields of New York to earn enough money. at a Break, in the Orbit of Manhattan, she had Met Bennet again at first she was really happy about the meeting and enjoyed the conversation with him and the others. He told her Interesting things about an AI that would Visit New York on a Regular Basis even when she wasn't welcomed there. Sunny was highly interested in that Kind of Being, as an AI was the Ultimate Achievement for any Engineer. she was so Interested in Meeting
After she was with Bennet and others of the Navy for a while he had to go as an Alarm came over the Radio Waves. Sunny was Curious and Followed him, of course, Sunny wasn't good at sneaking, but Bennet wasn't angry at her. As they Reached the Naval Academy West Point, the AI "Kanna" that Sunny had heard so much about appeared. Sunny was Realy Interested and wanted to learn more about the Machine Lifeform, she was Fascinated by the Scanns she got from her. The AI was Open and Offered Sunny many Insights about the AI. It Was Like Christmas and Easter on the same day for Sunny and she Was Incredible Happy about the Offer. But the Navy Pilots wanted to get "Kanna" out of Liberty by any means necessary, even when the AI said she would leave Peacefully with Sunny. As Sunny saw that the Navy wanted to Attack the AI she saw an Incredible Rare Chance Slip away and Manouverd her ship between the navy and the AI. but they were too many and Scared the AI away. Sunny Tried to Follow the Ai but she lost Track as it Moved away close to the Sun.
Sunny was Really angry at Bennet after this and even though he tried to Apologise to her with a good meal and Bottle of Wine she needed some time to Cool her Head after this. Sunny Worked Hard during the Next Weeks to Forget her Anger about Bennet and the Navy, and it had at least one good thing then she was able to earn enough to buy a Bigger and Better ship for her Work. But she couldn't Lose the ship she had Rebuild with her Grandmother and so Sunny Rented a Garage on Los Angeles and Parked the ship There. She would return and use the Ship for Exploring and Meeting new people. And so Sunny took her new Wrecker and started to do some more Work.
Sunny was sitting in the little Living Area of her Wrecker, she had Steerd the Ship deep into the Scrap Fields of New York to be alone. She had wrapped her arms around her Legs and Laid her Head on her knees to think about her Racing heart. On the Table in front of her lays a Diamond that Bennet gave her. The stone was the Prettyedst that Sunny had ever possessed in her life. All of the 46th was nice and Caring towards her and that was new and scary for sunny. On Culebra, she was more of a Tolerated obstacle than a part of the Team for most of the Junkers. They Respected her Skills but not Sunny Herself, she heard often how they made jokes behind her back about her when they thought Sunny wouldn't hear them.
Sunny knew what made her Heart Race and her head Blush, It was Bennet with his Nice gestures and the Flirting. but there was also the Memory of the First time that Sunny had Felt her Heart Race, and she also Remember the Pain as she found out that it was just a Cruel Game for the Boy to play with her Feelings. Sunny Sighed and looked at the Diamond not knowing what to do next, Bennet was nice and he didn't seem to care that she was a mute he had even Protected her against the Insults by the Gallic in New York that said she was Injured because she couldn't speak.
Sunny wasn't sure if she could Trust Bennet, she didn't want to Experience the same Pain again she felt the First time she had gifted her heart to a Boy. But she also knew that she was Lonely and wished for a Partner that loves her. Her Grandmother always told her Storys about the Love between her and her Grandfather and how Beautiful these Feelings are. And Deep in her heart sunny knew she wanted the same as his Grandma, Sunny wanted a Partner that she could share the Happy and Sad things in her life.
In the end, Sunny was sitting there for hours thinking about the endless Posibilitys that a Relationship or even a Date with Bennet could have. she thought about everything and let her hands run through your hair while she did it so that after a while it looked like a bird's nest. But then she Remember what her Grandmother once said and decided to let the things happen as they would happen. She would Follow her Feelings and see what happens. As she came to this decision Sunny smiled and could Continue her Work, after all, she was Sounded by lots of Valuable Scraps that she Sell to buy a nice Dress for a Potential Date.
Sunny Continued her Journey through, Sirius, with a smile on her face as she decided to take a Shortcut Trough Kusari again. Even when most of the Locals didn't seem to Like her there were some that did. Like the Woman of the Gen'an that Treated her Friendly and were nice to talk to. But this day she hadn't had so much Luck as Misaki was in a Hurry, Sunny didn't know what it was but it seemed Important. As she Couldn't hang out with her friends that day Sunny Decided to Fly over to the Omegas and sell some of the Pearls she had Found in the Wreck of a Samura Ship and after some search, she found out they would sell well in Omega-48.
As she was on the way to it she meet some People in the Leeds System that she had never seen before They Didn't Understand her Sign Langauge at First and Sunny had to use her Trusty Paper Notes again to Communicate with them. They asked her why she didn't seek medical help so she could speak, but Sunny had to tell them that she could never afford such a Costly Therapy. And that she also didn't want to as she Liked herself as she was. Sunny was Fascinated by as they Called themselves Technocrats. Sunny had Heard Many Rumors about the Maschine People that live in harmony with Technology. To her, it sounded like a Utopia that was too good to be true, But she was nonetheless Fascinated by them and Enjoyed the Talk. She would Probably never Chose to be one of them herself but she hoped to find out more about them and the Technology they use to Satisfy her Immense Hunger to Learn new Things.
After they have Separated Sunny Continued her way to Omega-48 and was Amazed by the Dual Nature of the System. one side looked like it was Frozen while the other looked like it was on Fire. after she had Offload the Pearls on Gran Canaria she Explored the System for Hours to see all the Wonders of the System and the Natural Beauty of it.
After her Adventures in Kusari and Bretonia Sunny Returned to Liberty. She had Found some Guns in a Wreck in Kusari and had Booked a Training Course on Planet Denver. She had decided to learn how to defend herself. But before she Could go down to the Plane for the Training she had met Bennet in Orbit. She was happy to see him again and they Talked a while about Sunny's Adventures and the People she had met on her Journey. They Talked for quite some time and Sunny Greatly Enjoyed the talk with Bennet, she had fun and was a bit sad as she had to go to her Training Course. But she wanted to Learn how to Defend herself, the Training showed her Much but the Coach saw quickly that Sunny had Poor Aim and so he advised her to use a Short 6 Shoot Shotgun as she would have the best chances to hit anything at all with a Shotgun.
A Day Later Sunny was on the way to Manhattan to Sell the Rest of the Weapons as she found Bennet Nearby talking with an Ai. Sunny was Naturally Highly Interested in the AI's and how they work. She was Totaly Fascinated about the Artificial Life Form and how they live. And this time she could talk with the AI and Learn some things. Sunny Learned that the Ai Prefered Green Renewable Energy over Nuclear one. And it seemed the Ai was also interested in Sunnys Life as well. The AI asked Sunny if she and Tony Storn were a Couple? Of course, they were not and this Question got sunny completely of Guard.
Sunny was totally embarrassed and before she even knew what happened they Proposed for her to go on a date with someone that she had never met and didn't know. Even Bennet seemed to like the idea and it felt like a stab in the Heart for her that Bennet thought like this. In the end, Sunny had Accepted to at least meet that Sam guy so she can Know him before she makes a Decision. Sunny was sad about Bennet as she had got a Light Crush on him and was shocked that he had no problem with her meeting other Guys. After she calmed her Hurting Heart Sunny Decided to give that Sam at least a Try, If Bennet didn't want her it was his loss, not hers.
After some days of Work, Sunny was at Manhattan again, there she had met another Junker there and also someone from the Gallic's again. She had also met Tony Storn again and they had a nice Conversation that made Sunny Feel happy and Relaxed. She Liked Tony and together with the others she had a Great time at Manhattan They Talked about many things and the Gallic and his Friend Flirted with Sunny what made her Blush and feel a bit uneasy as she wasn't used to that kind of attention. Sunny Blushed a lot during the Talk and at some point, it was too much for her, and she decided to go to work to get her head Cleared. Sunny had Worked for Several Hours in the Scrap Field Near Pittsburgh Before Tony found her again. Sunny was Sunken deep into her Work and hadn't noticed him at first as she was Cutting apart an old Cargoship. Sunny was happy to see Tony again and they Started to Talk while she worked Concentrated on the Old Ship. She had already Cut the Cockpit Sections off and one of the Arms was Salvaging the Valuable Electronics from the Ship, as a Huge Ship Left its Mooring at Pittsburgh. Sunny had thought this Ship was a Station or a Cargo Module, at least till it started to move under its own power. Sunny was so Suprised about this that she cut the Wreck on the Wrong Place and had hit an Oxygen Bottle that Burst because of the Lasercutter and Damaged the Arm of the Ship.
As she couldn't work on that day anymore Tony asked her to go on a date with her. Sunny was surprised at First and then she Blushed again as Bennet asked her what she would love to do. After a while she had calmed herself and thought about his question, he had asked for a Date, and even when she Liked Bennet he had Told her that it was Ok to go on Dates. Sunny Liked Tony too and she would have liked to spend some time with him. She Remeberd the Fun times she had with her Grandma when they watched Movies together and how she told her about Movie Theaters. After a While, they Wanted to go, but in the Orbit of Manhattan was an Alien that the others Called "Nomad" and they didn't want Sunny to go closer to the weird Creature. After the Fight She and Bennet wanted to go on the Date but Bennet found that out, and even though Sunny thought that he had no problem with that as he had told her it was Ok Before. But Bennet Reacted angrily and Said things that made Sunny Sad. He asked her to Return the Diamond that he had given her as a Gift and for sunny it was as if he had stabbed her Heart. The Diamond was the Most Beautiful thing that she had ever Posessed and it was a sign for her that she had Friends and was Liked by others. She Couldn't understand why Bennet was so Angry at her and called her "one of those Girls" as if she was someone Dirty and Mean. Tony tried to help her and Calm Bennet Down but it didn't work.
Sunny got sadder and sadder the Longer the Talk was lasting. Sunny Couldn't understand it and as she looked at the Diamond that was on her Dashboard she got even sadder and had a hard time holding back her Tears. While Bennet and Tony Argued over the whole thing Sunny couldn't endure it anymore and Just Jettisoned the Diamond and Runaway. She had put a Helmet on to hide her Tears as she Fleed the Scene towards Rochester. Tony followed her but Sunny was faster, she told him that she needs time and docked but she could hear him saying that he would wait for her. This Cheered her up a bit, but Sunny was still Incredible Sad and after she had somehow managed to Moore her ship on the station she Threw herself on her Bed and Cried for a Long time. Sunny's Heart felt like it would Stop Beating in her Chest and she couldn't stop crying even as she hadn't had any more Powers Left and Felt Asleep her body Cried further and was shaken by her Sobbing. Sunny was Hideing from the World for Days and Order Takeaway Food from the Station when she was hungry and just falls asleep when she was Tired from Crying. This continued for some days till Sunny had no more Powers left and she falls asleep for almost an entire day. In her Dreams, Sunny had Met her Grandmother and the Old woman just took her Beloved Granddaughter into her Arms and Calmed her down like she already did as Sunny was still a Child. Even though it was Still a Dream it helped Sunny as nothing else could. As she Woke up with a Headache and a Growling Stumic she also felt better than before, She still felt a Sadness inside her but it wasn't as strong as before and she knew she could handle it now. When Bennet didn't want to be her friend anymore she would find someone that liked her unconditionally and didn't make her sad because of things she didn't understand. After She had Showerd for the First time since she became so sad she felt a lot better and somehow like a new and Stronger girl.
It took some time till Sunny Found her Happiness again after the Sadness that Bennet's Behaviour had caused. But after Sunny had Licked her Wounds and came out of her Hideing at Rochester, she was almost her usual Friendly and Happy Self again. She had Decided to Distract herself with a bit of Recycling Work in the Fields around Rochester. After she had a Good Amount of Recycled Parts Sunny decided to call it a Day and flew towards Manhattan to meet one of the Traders that bought the used Parts from her. Sunny was happy and smiled as she Hoped to Find Tony there, she had decided that if Bennet wanted to be an Ass that she could live without him. Sunny looked forward to her Date with Tony and Hoped she hadn't hurt him as she Runs Away on that Day. Before sad thoughts could come to her Mind she shook her head and chased them away. As she Couldn't see any traces of Tony as she Reached the Orbit of Manhattan, But instead she found some new Peapole there that she never had met before.
In Orbit of Manhattan were a Liner and two Support ships, The People were Friendly and after the usual Communications Problems at the Start due to Sunny Talking in Sign Language they found a way to talk with each other. The Capitan of the Liner was a Woman Named Tracy Verburg, and with her were her two Employees Gerard Butlul and Kevin Costner. The Tree of them was nice Peapole but they also had a problem, as it looks like the Liner was hit by a Nasty Solar Storm and had some Problems with their Mainframe after that. Sunny was always Happy to help and Quickly came on board the Liner. But somehow Kevin got a Crush on Sunny from the Moment she had Set Foot on the Liner and he saw her for the First time. Kevin was a nice guy but as he heard that Sunny had a Date with Tony Already He became Realy Sad and even Cried as he left the room. Sunny felt also sad as she heard Kevin's Story and that he had lost all his Family and was Searching for a new one, to be Alone in the Universe was something that Sunny could Understand really well.
While Kevin was away Sunny began to Work on the Damaged Mainframe, she found a Fried Processor and a Damaged Memory Card, she Had just the Right Parts to Replace them so that the ship could Fly Further. But Sunny Advised Tracy Verburg to Replace them with a new Part as soon as she could as Sunny Couldnt Guaranty how long the Recycled Parts would do their job. A short while after she was Finished Kevin Returned and Sunny Couldn't hold back, she gave him a Friendly Hug and a Kiss on the Cheek to show him that he wasn't alone with his Pain. After that, she Blushed Deeply as she wasn't used to such a Show of Sympathy and was normally Pretty Shy. Sunny Tried to give Kevin a bit of Comfort from his Sadness and Told him that he had a friend in her if he want to. As Sunny Said goodby the 3 of them gave her a Delicious Stew for the Work and some Money for the Parts, even when the Most Delicious thing she had Ever Eaten would have been enough for Sunny. She smiled as she left them Knowing that she had found some new Friends on her way through the Stars.
