The exo wandered down the halls of the old bray facility while his ghost searched for anything useful. A few minutes go by and the ghost receives transmission from a nearby lab.
"That's strange," the ghost mutters,
"I'm picking up a message from a ships on board A.I."
"Should we go check it out?" The exo asked, he could feel a connection to the ship but didn't tell the ghost yet.
"Sure we'll need one to get to the city anyway," The ghost chirped.
The exo turned and started heading twards the lab that held the ship.
"Hey how do you know the way there? I didn't tell you!" She twirled her shell and blinked at her Guardian with great curiosity.
"I don't know I just had a feeling," The Guardian said, slight irritation creeping into his voice.
"[i]Ok[/i], well the signals coming from behind those big doors at the end of the hallway," she said, not fully believing the Guardian's [i]feeling[/i].
They walked the long hall in silence only broken by the Guardian's foot steps and the hum of the ongoing machinery.
When they reached the end they found that the doors had been sealed off.
"Well I'll try to get this open. Sit tight," the ghost said as a blue beam shot from it's eye to a panel on the wall.
The exo placed his hand on the doors and they suddenly slid open.
"Woah how'd you do that?!" The ghost exclaimed, clearly as amazed as her Guardian.
"I don't know I just put my hand on the door and it opened"
"Well I guess let's see what's inside," the ghost said, hoping to find some answers.
They walk through the heavy doors to find a decontamination room. While walking through the unit activates spraying the Guardian with a warm mixture of chemicals.
"That's odd," the ghost said, looking around the room.
"What's odd ghost?"
"This equipment should be long dead yet everything's working," The ghost said, caution in her tone.
"Hmph," Is all the exo mannaged.
A door opened in front of them and they walked in.
They were met with a large hangar/lab with a beautiful ship suspended in the air. The lab was well lit and completely dust free with odd machinery and equipment.
After looking around for a few minutes the ship roared to life and a feminine voice blasted through the exterior speakers.
"Hello lieutenant... My scans of the facility revealed no signs of life how are you here?"
"[i]Lieutenant[/i]?! I guess that's why you were able to open the door," the ghost said, analyzing the ships sleek hull.
"I guess so..." The Guardian said, his voice trailing off. "May I come on board?
"Of course lieutenant I [i]am[/i] your ship," the A.I. said with a cheerful tone "Here I have prepared the cabin for your arrival."
"Well this is great, the ship already knows you. I wonder why?" The ghost said, anxious to get her Guardian to the city.
"Come on ghost let's see the inside!" The exo said, climbing the stairs into the cabin.
"Lieutenant?" Said the cheerful voice of the ships A.I. "There's some type of small drone following you into the ship. Should I terminate it?"
"What NO she's my ghost! She's the reason I'm alive."
"Sorry lieutenant I will save [i]her[/i] as a crew member!"
"Thanks Guardian," said the ghost, slowly floating from behind her Guardian's back.
"So do you have a name?" The exo asked the ships A.I.
"Lieutenant do you not remember?" She asked, clearly flustered
"No I have no memory, sorry."
"Oh then my name is Kate! You named me after your daughter."
"Kate, that's nice I like that. Do you know my name?
"Of course lieutenant your name is Koran-5, the first exo to join this project."
"Kate... Can we fly?
"Yes lieutenant, where would you like to go?" Kate asked, seemingly exited.
"Well ghost where to?"
"Earth!" Said the ghost, exited to get going
"Well Kate, set course for earth," Koran said, a smile playing across his mechanical face...
