Vora sat on the floor of one of the servant quarters, working to hack into her own computer. she had a bit of experience with allowing her device to work offline, but that usually only worked if the device was already on and logged in. Finally after trying many times to log into the device offline, Vora was looking at the holographic screen she had been waiting for: Translation: after selecting 'Yes' the device goes dark, then brings up the user interface. "Wonderful, now, how many program on this damn thing still work?" After a few minuets of searching, she found al

Gary arrives to the surface just outside the portal. "Well, might as well get back to the castle..." taking one last look at this strange world, Gary walks through the portal.

A familiar blackness surrounds Gary once again. The beings are talking about him again. "I believe he is going to live." "Then why is he still asleep?" "He is in pain." "If only he knew the secrets of ^$*(@" "You know he can't understand ^$*(@, right?" "Not for now." There is a pause when the both actively notice that Gary is able to intrude on this conversation. "Wake up." Gary awakes and finds the battle is over. "... what is with these dreams?..." Gary heads back through the portal after reaching the other side of the portal, Gary

after witnessing the end of the fight in the engine room, Vora decided to look at the engines to see how they worked. After a time, she was able to roughly understand the combustion engine that powered the tracks, but she still could not understand the rest of it. She shrugged as she walked out of the room toward the smithy and servants quarters, still looking for a shower if she can find one. Engine Room >> Servants Quarters

not sure if it will ever be used, but a third character I have been working on Cherished Heart:

Vora, not noticing anything else about the throne other than a wood panel with a single switch on it duct-taped to it, sits down, and tries to decipher what each control and screen does. after a few moments, she gets up and walks out of the room and hears sounds coming from the Engine room, and runs toward it. ((she cannot read English.)) Throne room >> Engine Room

Vora watched Ghost leave, and sat down; her shoulders now shuddering slightly as she was alone, and didn't need to keep her facade up. "I knew that bastard was evil, but who the hell just destroys the home of several billion people because the sick bastard needs to test a weapon? He already knew it worked!... the people of DM7 should not have had to die for that... even if he wanted a war, why would he attack the most helpless in our solar system? The DM7 Colonists should not have had to die... in fact, what about DM7 would make it the target of such an attack? Scare everyone into surrendering

Vora's expression turned to worry as she realized her mistake. "Forgive me. I didn't know... I was going on the information I had and her actions... though, I probably missed something... I am also attached to my home universe, and I am sure I will lose my shit here soon when it finally sinks in that my former home is gone due to the grievous actions of a war-crazed dictator who we have been trying to keep our eyes on... I think I might have been taking it out on those around me... again, sorry." Vora looked up, her expression now sad, but not quite crying, "I-Im sorry. things have been d

Vora looked at the woman stunned. She was now trying to comprehend why the muliverse had chosen this being. one who had no care in the world about the mission at had, but was more concerned with her own universes petty problems to worry about the fate of all reality. "That is greed. I guess I misjudged what the greed was toward, but I did get that part right. Your selfish thoughts are the problem. Rather than trying to do this job correctly and becoming at least somewhat attached to the cause, you want to do it swiftly and without actually taking the time to get to know those around you and ho

"..." Vora stood there a moment before seaking out Ghost to relay the message. Grand Hall >> Ballroom Vora approached the white woman just as she finished talking to... herself again... "You should learn not to make big scary things angry... they tend to make threats they can follow through on," Vora began, "Aurora threatened to tear you limb from limb if you attack her again, so I would steer clear of her for a while... that and maybe tone down the whole 'I can lead everyone here to victory' thing. I don't trust you that much yet, nor do I think I ever will. That attitud

Vora nodded, "I understand where you are coming from with that, but I would also like to advise not killing anyone that is in this team... there are not many of us to begin with... however, I do feel that she needs to learn her place. See us as at least equals to herself; and based on what she said, we need to remind her somehow that she is not the leader here. She may have been where she came from, but not here, and not under these conditions;" Vora looked down at her feet, then back up, "I understand your frustration; But at the same time, we have to coexist with everything here. Its easier

Just before Vora could answer the creatures question, Mar entered. She nodded at him, and let the creature finish explaining before he got on with her answer to her. "I doubt she will be able to shape everyone up... if they are all as different as you say. In fact, I am starting to think that it might be a good idea not to have a clear leader... that way we are not bound to one person... being bound to one person like that is a death sentence for a cause of this kind... I don't believe I have your name... Ghost called you 'Spider' but the way she said it makes me think that she did so out

Vora stood there for a second to comprehend what had been said. She looked back up at the creature on the ceiling. "Again, seems a bit too convenient, but I can accept it based on other observations I have made... So what problem are we solving on this world? I would like to get on with it if we can, and if its finished, when do we leave for the next?"

Vora nodded, "yes, I would... though, how much more information do you have than Mar has shared?" "If this thing indeed had more information, then why wasn't this creature the leader of the group?"
