It's Not You, It's Me
"Yes, I'm proposing that the two strongest of us go ahead to a potentially hostile planet to test your device and respond to any immediate problems. So when you arrive, it will be safe and we'll already have a working foundation for this mission. "As opposed to you potentially being thrust into...- Failure-64

She grabbed the back of his head, ripping hair and scratching the scalp. He barely had time to choke out a betrayed scream before she cracked his head against and through the table. Blood splattered on the ground, he struggled against her but was too weak to stop her. She reeled his head back...- Failure-64

"Then why do you treat me like a drooling infant?" The words came out sharp, louder than she expected, and with an edge. Before she even had the thought, they had come blurting out and the fact that she couldn't control it only fueled her frustration. She looked back at Gehn, finally, and held...- Failure-64

Silence. She didn't say anything. Didn't even look at him. It was like how she had been nearly a year ago. Reserved, closed off, guarded -- a reaction she only realized in hindsight. It was as if she realized everything she had said up to that point was pointless and anything further was...- Failure-64

"My judgement of character has proven to be quite sound." She stared at him. Unyielding. "Yet, you've done nothing but treat me like I'm some child. 'Don't push yourself.' 'Don't leave the facility.' 'Don't talk to strangers.'" Those were simplifications of larger conversations, but the...- Failure-64

The days following G-01's attack were slow. Failure had woken up in the medical bay of Gehn's ship on the following day and since then, she spent much of her time there for the next week. Broken bones and open wounds were mended by autonomous machines. Antibiotics and preventative care...- Failure-64

Her smile lifted, but only by a hair. She nodded just once to his commitment to the plan and the request to be told when Gehn was ready. She hadn't mentioned Gehn's name, yet she wasn't terribly surprised that Daimon already knew. His silent observations from a distance were almost as...- Failure-64

Even just a consideration was above expectations. He was right -- it wasn't as simple as she put it. The Namekians, despite being a peaceful race, were not without strength. It would be a fight. But how much of one if her, Gehn, and Daimon all stood together? What surprised her more was how...- Failure-64

That was why she like Daimon. During their first encounter she couldn't place it, likely because she was still trying to place everything about her perception of the world. Now, with the clarity of her newfound motivation, she could name it. A quality not too dissimilar from Gehn's, but not...- Failure-64

He couldn't sense Ki before? This was the second time she'd run into someone like that. Was it truly a unique talent? Being so second nature for her, she never seriously humored the idea that it was something to be learned and honed. No small part of her flickered with pride that this was...- Failure-64
