Athena had taken a quick shower and changed into a tank top and a pair of comfortable pants. She stepped out into the spacious living area from the bedroom. Tadakatsu seemed to be waiting although she had said that he didn't need to bother. "I'm ready to go."
Tadakatsu nodded and led the way through a series of turbolifts and corridors which was laid out more like a maze than any standard building layout. To be sure though the building had been built with a purpose in mind..
It wasn't long before the two came to a door. The doors looked like some heavily plated industrial safety precaution rather than the doorway to a persons quarters. {{Athena you can come in. Tadakatsu stay outside till you are needed.}} Susan's voice projected into their heads with the greatest of ease.
"So much for knocking," Athena said before entering the room. {{How are you Susan?}}
"So much for knocking," Athena said before entering the room. {{How are you Susan?}}
{{Functioning within limits. And how are you Athena?}} Susan replied as Athena physically walked into the room.
{{I'm good at the moment and do you think functioning is a good way to describe your well being?}}
Susan replied {{Don't pull the psychological crap with me Counselor. There isn't a place in your shrink textbooks that deals with something like me.}}
{{Fine but when described as functioning it sounds like you need an engineer.}}
{{We are but machines made of flesh are we not? Simple tools but to be used to the whims of higher powers? What do you think Athena?}}
{{I suppose some of us are... I'm not sure that applies to all... or at least there are some that don't think it would apply to them.}}
{{Those who think they aren't influenced are more influenced than others...the so called true believers. Pitiful fools really}}
{{How is your father... I haven't heard from him in a while?}}
{I wish I could speak with him} Athena thought on a sigh.... {{What do you think about the King?}}
{{The figurehead. He is what he has to be according to the plan.}}
{{I see. He says he's a strategist.}} Athena didn't know why but something kept striking her as odd.
{{You are confused. Why?}} Susan asked.
{{The King is described by others as a figurehead... he describes himself as a strategist and yet you all are supposed to have specific jobs. But... you know it seems odd to have this conversation with a child that looks one age but is more than likely as smart if not smarter than most cadets coming out of the academy.}}

But... you know it seems odd to have this conversation with a child that looks one age but is more than likely as smart if not smarter than most cadets coming out of the academy.}}
Susan replied {{The King is a figurehead, built to lead and command the loyalties of others. For a position such as that he should be a strategist to navigate the muddy political waters. As for myself I am not something that was in the plan for the Ganymede Genetics Corporation, merely a possibility to be explored. Even though I was not a part of the GGC's plan's I still have my part to play as does everyone else.}}
{{I see.}} {So the king is nothing more than a glorified me .... most peoples eyes} she thought to herself as she began to put pieces of her own little puzzle together.
{{Something is bothering you though else I doubt you would have made your way here otherwise. Care to tell me about the dream Athena?}}
Athena knew she could pretend to not know which dream Susan was talking about that but that was pointless as Susan always seemed to read whatever thoughts she wanted. {{The trip here was a suggestion from a friend and No not really.}}

{{We often walk the paths we must through the influence of others but remember all rivers lead to the sea. Just as the sun will rise it must also set.}} Susan replied evenly.
{{Yes, it must}} Athena stood for a few minutes silent and deep in her own thoughts. {I really must speak with Vik and the sooner the better.} Finally with a sigh that seemed to contain conviction and dread, {{If possible could you let your father know that I would like to speak with him ... and if you have some free time maybe tea on the terrace would be nice?}}
{{I will try but even I am not guaranteed to be able to reach him if he has his walls up. As for the tea I will do my best, but events on the outside require constant monitoring.}} Susan replied calmly.
