AIN SOPH Part 3

Episode 5

StarScream was a robot dragon capable of space travel that could rearrange her molecules and assume the shape of a hominid creature of approximately human size. StarScream’s primary weapon was Adamant Claws. Only after a few hours in the game did she upgrade to ranged weapons, purchasing a mouth-mounted cannon, as well as a mouth-mounted flame thrower that she found she rarely used, but still thought was cool. StarScream logged a lot of hours the first week, and even more the next. By the third week, if she had to leave the house, she was rushing home to avoid missing important missions.

“Why do it yourself?” The first time, Lilly ignored it. Same with the second, and the third time as well. The tenth time, she was starting to wonder, and was very curious by the twentieth time. Why should she do it herself? By the thirtieth time, she had to know. Lilly clicked on the link and came to a glowing white website with a drop-down menu, and words above it in heavy black font reading, “Type what you want.” Lilly typed “Chet.”

When the computer was processing, Lilly’s cursor turned into a Misfits skull spinning hypnotically. It spun for a very long time. Then, the web page refreshed. “Can not deliver at this time. Type what you want.”

It had been long ago enough that Kyle had been taken away. Lilly typed, “Kyle.”

The Crimson Ghost spun. The page refreshed. “Can not deliver. Type what you want.”
