[New Message received] The buzzing in her head wouldn't stop. There wasn't even the ability to turn it off. It wasn't like she had the ability to update the firmware anymore. It wasn't like anyone even had the ability to outside of the OSU. A soft whine left her as she summed the mental energy to open it. Ah...Marlene. She read it before her body simply curled in and the thunderous boom of a gun that quite frankly shouldn't exist by some convention or other began to blast out in fever. She'd turn off her ear implants but her sleep had already been disturbed. If she went back then nightmares it was. Sarah opened her eyes slowly. The vibrant colours still distorting her vision. It was like she was seeing in infrared. Moving to turn on the inner lights she sat their for a while. Seemingly non existent but in physical form before she simply popped the hatch and clambered out. Not even noticing that her classic Sonic the Hedgehog blanket lay strewn across her shoulders.

Sarah looked at the message again....Freak...It seemed to bite that much harder this time. As if an iron facade had broken and it could simply hit her in full force. If it were not for the THC still coursing through her she'd most likely just cry. It's an old expression, but it was more than true for Sarah. Laugh, or cry. Lifelessly she hit the floor and looked around the hanger. There was everyone, working away, apprehensive? Excited? It didn't matter, deep down as she walked she wondered why she'd left.

[b]"Huh..."[/b], she said softly to herself. Kat had vanished from the hanger bay. Well, Marlene did say, without much thought she merely plugged her pad in and uploaded the perfected code. Marlene would be able to play her hand now. It wasn't anything bad. That she knew, but it didn't seem to matter much to her. Sarah kind of felt like a robot, an emotionless husk with a simulated personality. The bizarre colours she saw as she moved and the sensations going through her mind just seemed as normal as her usual day.

To any outsider that would be obvious, though to an Osbanian, raised as the party wanted. It was the greatest crime to leave your country. Having been given the honour of being a testing vessel for the technologies that would make Osbania the greatest power in the world. At least if the party line was towed. The question span in her mind as she walked slowly through the corridors. She wasn't even going anywhere in particular. Her eyes seemingly drifting in and out of different vision modes. A rather vacant expression until she passed the dining room. There, slumped into the table lay Kat. Sarah blinked, then walked over. Looking down she moved to place a hand on her. Then stopped, looking down at the floor she lifted the blanket from her shoulders and gently lay it over her. Then once more moved to gently lift her head to rest on her forearm and walked off. Not even giving it another thought. Sarahs eyes began to flicker, small sparks could be seen within. Smoking weed did a number on the electronics. It wasn't permanent damage, but it certainly was not good for the system.

She continued walking. It was rather eerie in the Samigina now. What was once bustling corridors simply held shadows and in all honesty that was all she could really see. Just shadows, shadows of people. Ghosts of people that were. It was funny, for all the effort she made into being happy around people she couldn't remember their faces. It just seemed like a lie, all of it. Them...her. All the same. This venture was becoming pointless. Why had she left the union? Why had she betrayed her country? Why didn't she try and [i]make amends[/i]? Her wandering had taken her to the deck of the samigina. Sarah barely even noticed the sound of Marly's gun fire as she stared forwards. Not even looking at anything in particular before she simply sat down.
