On the ship, I read through all the letters. Kitten's in Crystal City, Christian's
in Grand Chokmah, and Saiyukiness is in Daath, all hard at work. Looks like I'm the
only one who's just been sitting around...
...Oh well. Once I reach the port, I guess I'll head for Sheridan.
When I reached Sheridan, I heard from Aston that Jeremy had borrowed the
Highwind III, and Noelle said he'd gone to Crystal City. Noelle volunteered to
pilot the Highwind II again, so now I can head for Crystal City.
But the effects from the strengthened Planet Storm seem to be pretty
bad...I should probably check with Vyers about that.
It seems Jeremy really had been to Crystal City, asking if there was a way to
enter the core. Vyers said Jeremy looked worried about the Planet Storm's
increased activity as well. But he'd also mentioned something about Sol,
so maybe he's heard something more from Sol.
I still remember what Sol said when we lowered the Outer Lands. Jeremy
might have heard the same thing... After all, he's the original, and I'm just
a defective replica.
Vyers said to ask Kitten about the Planet Storm.
To be honest, I probably wouldn't understand anything about the Planet
Storm even if I had it explained. But I do want to see Kitten.
Kitten had been praying in front of the grave for Master Kyo she had made in
the selenia garden. She said she'd spent the last month wondering why Master
Kyo had chosen such an extreme course of action. So she'd had a lot on her
mind...just like me. And I started to talk about the thoughts I've kept
inside me all this time.
At the end, Kyo asked me, "Can you not live unless you were born for some
particular purpose?" I'm just an empty replica, with nowhere to live, nowhere
I belong to. I feel like I'm going to just disappear if I don't know the
reason I was born.
I told Kitten I was trying to find myself, and she said she'd come with me--
even though she's got plenty to worry about on her own, with the miasma in
her and all... Thanks, Kitten.
Kitten said she was headed for Daath to deliver a report on the Planet
Storm, so I decided to go with her.
