Solitare

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

Delta sits on the bridge of the Absolution. In front of him is a 4 decked chess board... He sits and plays it with himself, and ponders ideas. Ever since he took this ship, he has had alot of free time. Between chatting with Admiral Sora and Commander Valdamee', he spent most of his time testing his own intellegence, and working his now rampant mind. He finishes his game, and walks his holographic image around the observation deck that overlooks a local moon... He collapses as he falls into a rampant flashback.

"Delta. You are the Delta Artificial Intellegence. Confirm.", a voice calls out.

Delta looks up at the figure talking to him. "I am the Delta Artificial Intellegence. Serial number- 00000003."

"Good. What is your primary directive?", another voice calls out.

"The oversight of the Outer Colonies.", he calls out. This new existance was strange... He was in a dark room surronded by strange figures.


He opens his eyes... The words,"Meet your Brothers. Rage (Epsilon AI), and True Alpha.", "Epsilon. What ever happend to Beta?", "Rage... call me Rage. Alpha says not to talk about Beta. She is no longer with us..." go through his head.

He screams in agony..... His Solitare was causing an escalation in his rampancy. His mind was entering Stage 2. He sits there looking out the window in a trance. He mouths the same word... Beta Beta Beta!!!!!!

WHERE IS THE BETA!!!!
