*Shadow decided it prudant to abandon the HK unit and proceed with more urgent matters. She left the orbit of Nar Shadaa and headed for the route which the BTC fleet would be taking from Naboo to its first destination. She pushed the hyperdrives to maximum and arrived just as the pirate fleet had engaged the BTC fleet. She sent a reply to the message that had been sent to her and then blocked all further transmissions. It wasn't long before the devastating attacks of The Core decimated the pirate fleet and she cloaked the ship.*

*Shadow watched as the BTC fleet resumed formation and entered hyperspace. In the confussion of the battle she had fired off small undetectable transmitters so she could keep better track of the fleet. She had no intent of harming this company, on the contrary, she wanted to see the BTC flourish, she had her orders.*

*Shadow dedicated a certain ammount of The Core's computer to keep scanning the progress of the BTC fleet and she jacked out from the mainframe. She rubbed the back of her neck and heaed for one of the lower decks. Although she wasn't entirely human, she still had human needs, like relaxing, and bathing. She actually enjoyed immersing herself in a deep tank of water with a small breathing apparatus so she could spend as long as she wished down there. She got to the tank room and stripped off. The surface of the tank was set level with the floor so all she needed to do was step in. She took off her visor and placed a clear mask over her eyes and nose and bit down on an aquabreather. She stepped into the water and sank to the bottom of the tank. One disadvantage of having a body like hers was that she didn't float.*

*After an hour or so in the tank Shadow grabbed hold of the ladder and climbed out. She took the mask and aquabreather off and took the towel from the rail at the edge of the tank. She dried her hair and picked up her bodysuit. She left the room and headed for her quarters. There wasn't much reason for having a room of her own. She didn't really sleep anymore, at least not properly, it was more a state of inactivity so she could organise her thoughts. By the time she reached her quarters her body was dry. She pressed a pad just behind her ear and an un-noticable seam on her face appeared. There was a hiss as her face, from the tip of her nose upwards, seperated and opened up, hinged at the hair line. She looked in the mirror at the droid face underneath and picked up a small adjustment tool. She recalibrated what passed for eyes and then closed her face. She sorted her hair and got dressed. When she left the room she put on a pair of dark glasses to hide her expressionless eyes.*

*Shadow reached the bridge and sat in the command chair. She brushed the back of her hair aside and jacked in to the ship's systems once more. She checked on the progress of the BTC fleet and was satisfied with the information. She accessed the holo-grid and entered a private transmission code. After a moment she set course for Coruscant and entered hyperspace. She jacked out and stood on the foredeck of the bridge watching the stars fly by. There was something lonely about the silence of this unmanned ship. Why had she been given this ship? She knew that all the technology that was aboard this ship would fit inside a medium sized fighter and she even had plans drawn up for such a vessel. She cast the thought aside as she did not have enough data to extrapalate an answer and returned to watching the slipstream effect of the stars.*

*Shadow watched as the ship dropped out of hyperspace. She turned and walked off the main bridge. The ship came into high orbit of Coruscant and cloaked itself. She headed for the hanger and jumped into one of the fighters. Departing the ship she looped back and flew along a course that would take her to the other side of the planet.*

*As the fighter came to a stop on the far side of Coruscant, a gigantic ship more than twice the size of a capital ship decloaked in front of them. Shadow piloted the fighter into one of the docking bays. The interior of the ship was dimly lit and cold. Being a cyborg, Shadow didn't have muc need for heat or light.*

Sarah shivers.
Don't you think it's a little cold in here....
She stops and thinks.
Nevermind...your a cyborg.

*They make their way to the birdge and Shadow sits in th command chair. She jacks in to the ship's controls and raises the heat to make it suitable for human comfort. She speaks through the communication system.*
I have raised the ambiant temperature to a more suitable level. I will now cloak the ship and take us out of the system.
*The ship recloaks and heads out of the system at half light speed. For such a large ship, it is amazing that there is no crew, or even droids. It would seem that the entire ship was controlled from the command chair.*

She was amazed. She smiles.
So can you put this thing on autopilot?

*Her voice echos out on the bridge.*
Once a destination has been established, it is possable. I am now reactivating my emotional software.
*There is silence for a moment and then a click and hiss as she gets up from the command chair.*

She smiles.
So do you feel different?

*She takes off her shades and smiles.*
I feel. I've set the ship on auto pilot, we are heading for Nar Shadaa. I have unfinished bussiness there that I must attend to. Is the temperature sufficiant for you?

She nods.
Well...then tell me how this feels?
She pulls Masuko toward her. Sarah wraps her arms around the other woman. She kisses her long and hard. Then pulls back.

*Masuko kisses her back and smiles when she is looking in her new friend's eyes.*
Feels just the same as before, only more passionate. It is a different experience for me. I may now have emotion, I am able to display it, but as far as feeling emotion is concerned, I'm not sure if I do. The experience is one I seem to enjoy though.
*She smiles again and even laughs a little.*
ooc: w00t, this is my 800th post!
