Cruz woke up and got out of his Gravity Sphere, a technomage's substitute for beds. As he woke up, he heard noises coming from outside. [i]Everyone seems to be active today. I do wonder why.[/i], he thought, curious. But first, he had to do a checkup on Lhermite. He connected his terminal to his giant PC. [i]"Good morning, Lord Cruz. How are you today?"[/i], the AI asked as he appeared. Cruz smiled, but sighed as well. "Lhermite, I told you to not refer me as Lord all of the time.", he said, cheerful. [i]"I... I am sorry. I am not used to refering to you in this manner... but I will try."[/i], Lhermite responded. Cruz started to insert some codes, updating Lhermite with informations and data. "So, are we ready to go?", he asked. [i]"... Update progress complete. Awaiting orders, Lord- I mean... Cruz."[/i], he said. Curz left out a little laughter as he continued to look for data.
