"Hey, Akane," he replied, shaking his head as she looked down.

"Yeah, those are my friends," he said, grabbing her hand. "C'mon, I want you to meet them." Without waiting for a reply, he started off in the direction of Kaede and the others, watching them with a grin on his face, but then, something happened.



((Yeah, so what's going on? sweatdrop ))

((Sorry, I had just wanted to speed things up a little.))

Izzy accepted the credits for the sensor without complaint. If somebody wants to give you money, whatever the reason, you accept it. Unless of course, they expected something seedy for it. And even then, Beetle would tell you you should anyway.

When they arrived at the ship, Izzy dashed up to the lift that happened to already be open. Beetle wasn't there.

Erik's Favorite Song

Erik sat on his bed, his headphones on, connected to the new MP3 player his mother had gotten him. He'd found a new band recently, really cool, a mix between rock and several other types of music, Rock Opera, as his mother called it. Each song was unique and interesting, especially for a mind intrigued by music. He was really getting into them. They were called Ayreon and they were really enthralling, because every CD told a story. He already had a favorite CD and song.

This particular CD was about a man in a coma, and the struggle he went through, battling his emotions and trying to come back out of it. Each emotion was personified within his unconscious mind. Every song on that CD was wonderfully compelling and emotional, but of course, Erik had his favorite:


The Human Equation, Day 3: Pain, by Ayreon
Lyrics Source

[Agony] I am pain
I am real. I'm not a dream
I'm the chain around your neck as you scream

Surrender now
You can't beat death at his ruthless game
Make your bow
Hang your head in shame

[Me] I can't believe there is no way out...
[Agony] You'll find you are wrong
[Me] You fill me with doubt...
[Agony] You were never that strong

[Agony] I am pain
I am the wound that never heals
It's all in vain
No compromise, no deals...

[Me] I can't believe this is the end
[Agony] It's written in stone
[Me] Where are my friends?
[Agony] You have always been alone!

[Rage] (Pain!) We lead
We hide as the pain leaves the rage inside
(Motion personified alpha)
Being here, welcomed by...a sane mind
A travelled lie

[Agony] I am pain
I am the end, I am your wraith
Nothing remains
I'm the loss of hope and faith

[Me] I can't believe there is no way out...
[Agony] You'll I find you are wrong
[Me] You fill me with doubt...
[Agony] You were never that strong

[Rage] We lead, we hide as the pain leaves the rage inside
(Motion personified alpha)
Being here, welcomed by...a sane mind
A travelled lie
All the time, I had waited with rage
All the time, I was promised my salvation

[Love] I can't accept this, we will find a way
Out of this cesspool of doom and dismay
Beyond this dejection there's beauty and grace
A glorious future we long to embrace

[Rage] (Pain!) All the time, I have waited with rage
(Motion personified alpha)
All the time, I was promised my salvation

Of course, Erik's mother loved that song too, and she told him. But her favorite part was Love's words that were made so sound as though they shined through the darkness. Her voice was beautiful. When she sang, it was even more lovely than the voice of Love in that song (and the rest).

Erik wondered if Japi would be, for him, the voice of love for his life.

The song switched over and he continued listening.
