S&N: Being New 2

I looked up at Kered's face as he patched me up. I wished that he had only tested my chip, but I did see the reasoning behind checking out my whole body. The Net was sneaky. Hell, they had to be since they were up against Karma. Up against people like Kered.


I didn't get up when Kered finished. I could hear anything he said to Samara so there was no point. From Kered's footsteps I didn't detect worry. However, neither I nor The Net was familiar with any of the Elementals. The Net had the most information about Kered, but that wasn't saying much.


"She's safe." Kered said, though his voice indicated that he didn't like this. It seemed that some part of his mind just wanted to kill me. "Tell your Machine to get dressed."


Without looking at anyone I walked upstairs to Samara and my room. I put on the clothes that were on the bed. I walked back downstairs, sat at the kitchen table, and looked at Kered.


"So, Earth, does that mean I'm now a member?" I asked.


Showing the calmness of an Elemental, he only nodded.


"I also called you here for another reason." Samara said.


"I guessed as much." Kered replied.


"It's about Playful Ballet."


"That little place?" He asked. "There have been rumors but nothing ever came of it."


"I don't think that anyone from Karma wants to seem to have any class." I joked. The slight smile from Samara's lips was enough payoff. I had thought I might have to go on the run and we were both glad I could stay.


"Anyways, we have proof." Samara said. "Nazilla found something like an M-1 in their security system."


"Have you seen this yourself or is it only rumors?" Kered asked.


"I have seen it." I replied. "I can confirm it."


"Right." Kered said. I realized making him trust me would mean more than a few loyalty tests.


"I believe that the threat level is high enough to warrant an investigation." Samara said.


"If you both think it is a threat, then I will send an investigation team to assist you." Kered decided. "Hopefully it will turn out to be nothing. But hope hasn't helped us in the war yet."


As Kered left, both Samara and I escorted him out. As I shut the door I realized neither of us had told him about Glau. That said something about our relationship that we would hide a key bit of information that could help in the fight against The Net, just so we could still make love without doubt.

S&N Paper aka War for the World

Introduction (Ustream)

This is a very random intro as I didn't know what to say.

Video for Conan's First Google+ Hangout

Here is my video where I show no shame and ask Conan a question.

Paternity Suit (LGBTQ Related)

People who think that a gay couple will ruin a child are missing out on a lot of other facts aka straight parents can mess up a child.

The story in the video, though, isn't fully about that.

I love it when people are able to admit the complexity of an issue without bashing lesbians. Sometimes we, as humans, have a tendency to simplify things.

My opinions about this story: I'm not sure. I'm glad that this couple is able to work things out. I don't think the same-sex couple part should distract people from the bigger issue.

Terminator 3 (Part 2)

The T-X is awesome and here's a whole video dedicated to her!

S&N: Being New 1

I disliked many things now. I'd say hate but that human emotion didn't get that far. One of the things was that Karma wouldn't accept me without testing. I knew I had reprogrammed myself so that The Net wouldn't control me any more. However, getting Karma's approval was a request of Samara's. And doing what she wanted meant a lot to me right now.


If I couldn't be human, at least I could make her happy. Brushing Glau to the background had taken a lot. But, finally, we had settled on a truce. I don't know if either of us really believed thoughts of Glau were really gone from our minds.


Turning around I smiled at Samara. She was only in her bathrobe. A lovely floral design was on it. Sam was only wearing that one since Kered was going to be arriving soon.


Myself, I was naked. I had no shame of appearing naked, not that I had before I was a Machine, plus the testing would go easier without any clothing.


Sam shook her head. "Sometimes it's hard to believe that you're not human." She said. "If you were still human I'd say you were trying to make an Elemental nervous."


"That has not changed." I said and smirked. "Like before, I don't like my privacy being invaded."


Sam and I shared a short kiss before I stood up. She was beginning to get used to my senses being better than before. However, she was still slightly nervous.


I walked over to the door and opened it up a second before Kered could finish starting his knock. This made for an awkward motion of him dodging the opening door. Once he got hold of himself we stared at each other.


He knew I could kill him without a second thought now. Yes, he held the rank of Elemental Earth. Yes, he was one of the four most dangerous members of Karma. However, I was a Machine with all the knowledge of the human Nazilla.


I stepped back. "Welcome, Earth."


"You should have had your Machine get dressed, Crichton." Kered said angrily.


"Nazilla is not the enemy, Elemental." Samara said and hurried to shut the door behind him.


"It isn't human. It's a Machine." Kered replied.


"If you wanted to kill me you wouldn't have knocked." I said tonelessly.


"Naz," Samara reprimanded me. "If you don't allow Kered to do the testing, you won't be allowed back into Karma."


I thought of being an outsider. Someone that had to run from those she would save. Looking at Samara, however, I couldn't stand putting her in danger from Karma.


"Yes." I said and put my head down in shame. "Kered, no matter what you think of me now, I wish to serve Karma as I did when I was human. I am feeling nervous, for lack of a better term, about being exploited like I was during my time with The Net."


Though a human couldn't see Kered's look of pity, I could. It was slight and lasted less than a second, but I noticed. He guided me to the couch where I lay down. I prepared myself to look at his short beard for a few hours.
