Everyone walked back out of the theater in silence, and that was to be expected. I had a mental image of what a spiked vagina looked like, but when you saw it zoomed in and twenty feet tall, you just couldn't unsee it.
"I don't think I am even going to listen to my father again. While it was an interesting movie, the story was not what I thought it was. Yet, I almost want to see the next one," Anya finally said and then looked at me. "Is the second as bad as the first?"
"Don't know. I dropped it after the first book because it wasn't really something I enjoyed. I think I started reading "The Game Is Life." That would be an interesting book series to be turned into a movie," I said as our group stepped down on the grass.
"Possibly, I will see what I can do. What are you going to do now?" Anya asked.
"Go sort through people while testing out things for Sofia, right?" I said, looking over at Sofia, and she nodded.

"Hey! That is a tall order! Have you ever tried that thing?! I can't even get past the third door on the third level!" Pyke complained.
"Don't complain; we will make you run it all night!" Katie warned, and Gigos laughed.
"You should just be happy that we only have to train. This is what we were supposed to be doing before, but we were too busy watching to see what was going to happen," Gigos chuckled.
"I am just glad that I don't have to hide in a bunk underground! Belious is not much for company if it isn't something he is interested in!" Beltzer with his arm around Timala, who was leaning into him.
"I am happy we aren't fighting each other anymore, and we can stop running. For as long as I can remember, we have just moved from one planet to the next. Now it kind of feels like we might have a home," Timala said, and Beltzer kissed her forehead.
"Well, if we want to keep it, then we are going to have to do as Daniel asks of us and get stronger. We have always been the destroyers, but now it is our turn to become the protectors. We also need to set a good example for the other... Annokale. That still feels strange to call myself that," Beltzer said, and I nodded.
"It might be strange at first, but this is who you are, not some AI that was manufactured. All of you need to get past what you were before to become what you were always meant to be. The guardians of this universe since it was all of you that chose to restart everything. You are all responsible for helping fix what happened in Eden," I explained, and the AI all nodded and started to turn to leave, but I put a hand up. "Gravois and Hellyle, I would like for you two to come with Sofia and me. I wanted to talk to you both and do some more scans."
Both of them nodded and separated from the group.
As they did, Kaite and Marley came over, and then both hugged and kissed me.
"Thank you for coming to see the movie with us," Marley smiled, and Katie nodded.
"Even if it was really messed up, it was still nice. Maybe you might be interested in coming over tonight? Marley was going to have a sleepover, and you look like you could use some relief," Katie suggested, and Marley nodded.

Meckel looked like she was about to complain, but Angelise roughly grabbed her by the hair. She dragged the snake woman who was screaming over to the grass patch the others were on.
I watched as the eight Annokale, Katie and Marley were pulled away and then turned back to the rest of the group with a sigh.
"At least the other two seem to have a good hold on her," Melody giggled.
"I almost feel bad for her, but I am not giving up any of the limited time that we have with him," Anya said, crossing her arms, and I smiled.
"Don't worry, I am more than happy with just you ten. Now, Vic, do you want to come with us? I want to figure out what System we are going to give you," I suggested, and Vic nodded and came over to stand beside me quietly.
Since Sofia and I had balanced things out inside of her, Victoria had been quiet for the most part. She would answer questions but wouldn't engage with anyone.
"If you have time, I would like it if you could stop by my workshop. I increase my level, and I have a lot of old Systems that can be changed into other things, but it might be better with you there," Firaga explained, and I nodded as Gaia came over to join me beside Sofia.
"Yes! I have been meaning to get over to you! You should have much more systeminium than you need at this point, and I am going to need it. I will come after I am done here with Sofia and Vic," I said, and Firaga nodded.
"That would be good. I tried to consume it all, but I couldn't eat Gravois, and Hellyle is more than I could ever consume at my current level. Then there are all the extra people that died or that we had to transfer out of the Host," Firaga explained, and I nodded.
