Looking up
Riot force HQ, medbay
Seraph stood it the hallway slumped against the wall, the last couple of days had not been kind to him. After
finally getting in contact with one of the Sabres he asked if she could help him with Gir, but the more she explained, the more he realised that he was out of
his league, so he asked if their was someone more suitable to look after Gir, only to receive a phone call from Gir. She had heard everything from the bug she
planted on him, and believed he didn't want her anymore. This set off a set her off on a small war path as she tore her bedroom out of the building and
started heading to Faultline. Net Sabre was able to stop her, but due to the damages Gir had caused, Seraphs land lord kicked him out, that was 2 days ago. Now
he was at the Riot base, waiting to here if they could fix Gir.
"When was the last time you slept?"
Seraph stood up and turned, standing their was a sabre in a pale blue suit of power armour, Seraph recognised
her as the leader of the Knight Sabres, Silicon Sabre
"I… I don't know." He muttered as he rubbed his eyes.
"You should rest, Net thinks it'll be a day or two before she's done. Follow me." She
carefully took seraphs arm and started leading him down the hall, as they walked, Seraph asked the question he'd been dreading.
"So what happens next?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well when Gir's fixed, I assume you'll find someone that can….. Look after her better."
Silicon stoped and turned to face him.
"And why would I do that Mr. Seraph?"
"Because my track record looks pretty shabby, to tell the truth, I've … screwed up on so many levels
it's not funny."
"Such as?"
"Well there was the incident with the encyclopaedia, the fact that I haven't been around enough
lately. I can hardly afford her and Lazs repair bills and now I have no home, like I said, I screwed up."
Silicon stared at him for a couple of seconds before replying.
"While it is true that you have messed up on several occasions while dealing with the girls, I see no
reason to separate you."
Seraph stood stunned, "Er why?" he cautiously asked.
"I have talked to your sister and Lazuren and they both agree that regardless of what you think,
you're the best person for the job."
"Wha?"
"You took in the girls when there was no one else, you've bent over backwards to make sure they have
everything they need, you gave the girls a family…. And I'm not in the habit of breaking them up."
"But what about housing? I've got no where to live."
"Yes I heard about that, don't worry I'm sure we can come up with something."
Seraph just stared at Silicon, his jaw hanging open.
"I… I don't know how to repay you."
"I think we can come to some sort of arrangement Mr. Seraph. Ah here we are."
They had reached the bunk rooms, Seraph turned to Silicon.
"You can sleep here till we get everything organised, goodnight Mr. Seraph."
"Goodnight ma'am, and thankyou."
Seraph entered the room, found a vacant bunk and collapsed. His last thoughts before drifting off to sleep was
the for once, things where looking up.
