Alana,
I am going to be traversing the desert soon and was wondering if you would accompany me. The area has had a few bandit problems, and I wish to have at least one other person with me to make the trip as safe as possible.
The ruins in question hold knowledge that may pertain to me, and I wish to make sure in person before bringing it to anyone else.
If you do choose to come along, please meet me in the hangar at 10am. I will be awaiting a message from you on a private channel, as I will be in my Command Wolf and ready to go a half hour beforehand. If not I will leave at 10:01 and will not hold it against you.
Aiyana Shuer
That was the message that the woman had sent nearly fourteen hours ago, before she had gone to sleep. Now it was nearly ten am and she was sitting inside of the Command Wolf and waiting to see if her team mate was going to tag along for the ride. Surely there would be a learning experience in here somewhere for her, or maybe they would be able to get to know each other a little better. There was not a whole lot to do when traveling in the desert, so it was quite likely that they would be holding some kind of conversation between themselves. Whether that conversation was of any import was beyond her knowledge, that would require vision into the future that she did not have.
"Well, if she does not show in a couple minutes we will head off on our own." The words would be spoken as she pat the console in front of her. Aiyana was speaking to her Zoid even though she had no way of understanding the creature in turn, even though many saw it as strange that she did so. The bond she felt with the Zoid was as great as a mother and a child's, at least that was how she felt about it. Whether her Zoid felt the same was beyond her knowledge. Until she could afford the parts, and operation, of an Organic Psycom System that would link her mind with the Zoid itself. Once she got there she could finally understand the Command Wolf. She would be able to learn its name, if it had one, and figure out how it felt about her in return.
