I couldn't believe what Glau had just asked. I stood in silence as my systems tried to compute what I had just heard. Finally, when they had given up, I replied, "We were ambushed."
Glau looked confused. "What do you mean? What ambush? And someone else was with you?"
"My girlfriend," I said, putting an extra emphasis on girlfriend. "Thought it was going to be a trap. She was right."
With that, I turned around and walked back towards Samara. As I walked I heard Glau start to cry. I focused on Samara and realized any of Glau's mysteries would just lead to a tragedy. I had heaven right in front of me.
"What did she say?" Samara asked when I got back to her.
"She asked why I didn't come to lunch." I said and shook my head merely for Samara's benefit.
"She didn't know about the ambush?"
"She was confused."
"You have guessed why, haven't you?"
I just looked at Samara. "I'm trying not to think about it."
"That's hard for you, isn't it?" She said and I continued to look at her without blinking. It freaked her out and she sighed. "She wanted to kill you. You're here and she's confused. She wanted to talk to you to find out why."
"You're jumping to conclusions." I replied. "You're seeing what you want to see."
"What does your other side say?" Samara asked, not wanting to bring up that I was a Machine to any of the people walking by.
"That Glau has acted suspiciously and should not be trusted." I let the words roll off my tongue while I wanted to put them back in. I wanted to erase myself from ever saying them.
After I said that Samara smiled and we waited. Finally we were called back to get a massage. This was supposed to be relaxing. To a human it would be, but not to me. Even my fake muscles wouldn't be able to be relaxed by a massage.

S&N: Forever Vigilant 3
Falling Skies "Molon Labe" Review
Karen is evil and everyone finds that out.
The Grey (2012)
Title: The Grey
Director: Joe Carnahan
Starring: Liam Neeson, Dermot Mulroney, and Frank Grillo
Rated: R
Released: 2012
Personal Rating: 6/5
Special Rating: It Made Me Cry
Oscars: N/A
Basic Plot: After their plane crashes in Alaska, six oil workers are led by a skilled huntsman to survival, but a pack of merciless wolves haunts their every step.
Very Moving Film
This movie isn't for the weak willed. By the end of the movie I was bawling my eyes out. And I'm not one to cry during movies. As each man dies things become harder for Ottway (Liam Neeson) who was already on the point of suicide in the beginning of the movie. Make sure you have a good comedy after watching this movie. I'm still tearing up for this movie and I watched it hours ago.
The Wolves
The wolves are the external threat to the group. Besides the weather and elements. They look good from a distance. The use of very quick shots for the wolf attacks works perfectly. This is because they don't look that great once you can stop to look at them. They don't look horrible but it's good they shot the movie like they did.
The Other Members
I didn't expect to care for the other members of the group. But I did! I cared if they lived or died. When one of them dies (near the end, not saying which one) I was crying out at the tv! So expect to care for these characters. If you didn't care for them, the movie wouldn't have made such an impact.
Final Thoughts
revrezner thinks I gave this such a high score due to Liam Neeson. He helped with the rating, but he wasn't the ONLY reason. If everything else wasn't so good I wouldn't have given this movie my highest rating. There is a plane crash in the beginning and a part where the group have to cross a gap. Two things that terrify me. It also had one thing that reminded me of Silent Hill 2 (and sorry for ruining a plot point for you Silent Hill fans).

S&N: Forever Vigilant 2
I continued to look at Glau and she took notice. Her eyes traveled to lock onto both Samara and myself. I wanted Glau to look at me so that maybe I could understand her. But that could be dangerous. Hell, our last conversation had led to Samara and me being ambushed. Finally her eyes looked at me.
I saw a smile form on her mouth. It was human and yet had a touch of M-4 to it. I smiled back at her. Samara made a tiny huffing sound and my sensors picked it up. I mentally shook my head and remembered that Samara and I were together. And, right now, I didn't want to lose her. If I did lose her I wasn't going to do it to Mark.
"Sam, are you jealous?" I asked and put a pre-Machine Nazilla smirk onto my face. I didn't feel like doing a smirk but knew it'd calm her down.
"Naz," She said angrily. But my sensors picked up her heart beat slowing down. "Her being here isn't a good thing. And, no, it isn't a jealousy thing. I'm worried that she's just doing this to get into Karma."
"There is a much easier way to do that." I said and patted her on the shoulder. Again, a gesture that I barely remembered or thought about. But one that would calm her down. And it did.
Samara gently kissed me on the lips and I returned the brief kiss. Turning around I could tell a slight sign of jealousy on Glau's face. Was I glad it was there? No. Was I unhappy it was there? No. It didn't matter to me. All I wanted out of Glau was answers. That's how I lay with Samara at night.
I walked calmly to Glau and the parameters of the Spa seemed to expand. I could still go back, but something was pulling me towards her. My sensors would tell me that gravity wasn't a factor but my remaining humanity would swear it was. And logic was the only thing that kept me going towards Glau.
It knew that nothing Glau said now would affect how much I still loved Samara Crichton. Samara was the one whose memory helped me override my programming. This woman didn't have that connection to me.
"Nice seeing you here, Glau." I said and put on a smile. I didn't feel like smiling but my programming had suggested it.
Glau blushed and nodded. "Yes, it's nice seeing you here, Nazilla." She looked down as if uncertain of what she was going to ask. "Can I ask you something?"
What could she ask me that would require me to do even a little bit of thinking? "Sure, go ahead." I replied.
"Why didn't you meet me for lunch?" Glau asked. She looked into my eyes and a tear went down her cheek.
