Seven is standing on the street corner, a lonely little waif about to ingest a dose of drugs which will forever obliterate another piece of her mind.

This is wrong.

I was never meant to care.

I was definitely never meant to yearn.

I should have kept her, no matter what she saw. I should have wiped her just a little and put her back in my bed, but I let Vulcan’s derision and his reminder of my duties convince me that her place was among the humans. Watching her now, I’m not sure any human’s place is among other humans. This is a sordid little city, full of liars and cheats. My instinct is to clean it up, install order, demand that the chaotic criminality of their lives ceases. But this is how humans like to live, in small worlds rife with intrigue and injustice, and I know that if I am to interfere I will only set the process in motion all over again.

“Krave…”

“What?”

I am not pleased with Vulcan either. At least he has the sense to call in rather than be physically in my presence.

“Update on the Galactor situation.”

“Are they coming here?”

“No.”

“Well, what are they doing? Having a picnic? Have we recalled the clutch for no reason?”

“I wouldn’t say no reason. They’re heading toward the last coordinates the original Earth once occupied.”

“What do you mean? Why would they do that? That’s scythkin infested territory. We’re all over that like broodkin on dead protein.”

“I don’t know, but that’s where they’re going. Xen is leading the clutch out there.”

I am torn. I want to follow the Galactor fleet, but I cannot leave this planet. I am first born. I am the ultimate authority. But there is nothing I can do. I cannot leave the simulation undefended.

“Bring the clutch here. Galactor might be distracting us, and there are plenty of construction teams and other clutches at the old Earth site. We don’t need to send our entire clutch there.”

“I was hoping to join the clutch at old Earth.”

“You’re not going anywhere.”

He hates this place as much as I do. We were not made to wield these fine mechanisms of control, but humanity has been entrusted to us, and I have no intention of letting Vulcan leave his post again, not after the part he played in the conflict which saw Seven returned to the simulation, where she is now swaying gently back and forth on a street corner, having imbibed her recreational substances.

She is wasting her life. But they all are. Nothing they do inside that pathetic little bubble matters. It has no effect on anything. They are not living true lives. They are simply existing in a fashion which might make them useful to others.

“Tyank.”

“Hm?”

“What if we freed the humans?”

He looks at me with red eyes and sharp brows and an expression which conveys utter confusion. “What do you mean, freed them?”

“I mean, what if we conquer a planet. Just a small one, and let them loose on it.”

“That was considered at the time of invasion,” he reminds me.
