Eorthe wandered around the colony, looking at the daily going-on, everything looked quite normal for a human community. She continued walking for a while, ignoring the strange looks she was getting due to both her strange look and unsuitable attire. Finally she gave up and just headed for the most official looking place she could find and started hunting around for an official looking person. She located what looked like a guard and approached him. "Can you tell me where I can acquire some aura crystals?" She said rather stiffly.

Morice took a slow pause. He then looked at his hand and took it back. He turned to hide the shame of going to help someone.
"You're in a room. I decided to rent this room, so I guess it's mine. For god's sake, you collapsed in the middle of an alley way. Where are you from? You're obviously not aware of the power of the heat over you. Be more careful next time! You're lucky I decided to heal you up than take you away for eavesdropping.... And you made me look like a fool just now..."

As Aurora spoke, John couldn't help but feel confused. How exactly could a computer be connected to the entire galaxy? Just what exactly was this computer capable of? Due to being connected straight to John's brain, Cortana could tell what John was thinking, and decided to answer his questions.
"This computer that Aurora is in, most likely works by altering quantum physics. This would allow it to alter the very physics that govern how matter and energy behaves. We don't have anything quite as advanced as this, so I don't actually know all the details of how the computer functions. All I know is what I've read.", Cortana explained to John.
The more and more Cortana thought about the information she didn't have, the more she began to want it. Due to her being an AI, she had an insatiable want for knowledge she didn't have, and having quantum physic's biggest secrets being dangled right in front of her eyes was enough for her to want it. With the right technology, she could change how a particular tool or item worked, change the physics of anything she wanted, and could use it to better herself and John. The various theoretical applications of such information was too good to pass up.
"If you plug me into the system, I should be able to figure out how it works. We might be able to use that information.", Cortana said to John.
John lightly sighed as he thought about what Cortana was saying. He had been with Cortana for 8 years, so he knew exactly why she wanted that information. Of course, John knew that Cortana would only try and ask for the opportunity to gather information if it was truly important. John didn't know if there would be a way to interface with the Sanctuary of Light's computer, so he didn't make any promises to her about the computer.
"We still don't know if we can interface with it. If we can, then I'll see what I can do.", John calmly said to Cortana.
"Okay.", Cortana said to John in a slightly disappointed, but understanding tone.
After speaking with Cortana, John turned his attention back to Aurora and asked another question.
"How is the sanctuary's computer system connected to the galaxy? How is it that a computer can effect an entire galaxy? Why was this computer made, and why were you made to govern over it?", John asked Aurora.

To be honest, Ethan didn't quite know whether or not SimO was being sarcastic, but then again, he doubted anyone would be sarcastic in a situation where they could ensure the soldiers' safety. Perhaps it was simply SimO's voice system making him sound sarcastic. Either way, Ethan was ready to do what was needed of him. After walking to the elevator shaft, Ethan activated his anti-gravity module and floated into the elevator shaft. As Ethan floated into the shaft, he quickly looked at the area above and floated up the shaft.

Aurora hesitated as she tried to understand the questions. She hovered for a moment before she finally started to respond. "....The computer existed...as a means to bring everlasting life to the galaxy. I was a means to control-" Suddenly she stopped. Her eyes went wide and she went limp like a puppet, trembling slightly. A moment passed, it could faintly be seen that fiery wings were now materializing from her back. Her clothes gained a more reddish hue.
"...Help...me...restore the Galaxy." She muttered. as she lifted herself back upright while still hovering in the air. "The galaxy is dead. It must be restored. From the ashes it shall be reborn. The galaxy must be cleansed of all things so that it can be restored. All things must be returned to their base state in order to begin the restoration." She then turned her attention back to the group. "Help me....remove the barrier, please... I cannot initiate the process while the barrier stands..."

John was surprised by what Aurora was saying, as well as her transformation. What she was saying was that she wanted to purge the entire galaxy. He couldn't help but think about the Halo Arrays and how they were tools meant to purge galaxies of sentient life. If Aurora was trying to kill off all life, then just like he did so long ago, he would have to stop her. Luckily, this instance was much easier than when he was back on Installation 4. Instead of blowing up a ringworld, all he had to do was not break the barrier. After a moment of silence, John spoke.
"I'm sorry Aurora, but we can't let you do that. If the galaxy was dead, then we wouldn't even be here. It has been a very long time since whatever happened here. People have either moved on, or new people have moved in. You can't kill whoever else is in the galaxy.", John said to Aurora.

"Woah, woah, woah. Why the sudden topic change?" Mima said, stepped up a little. "You don't change the topic in the middle of the sentence, that's just rude."

SimO climbed up the ladder, not even holding onto the rails with his arms, simply leaping up the ladder, three steps at a time, easily keeping pace with Ethan.
"Practical. I must inquire about that technology later." SimO said casually while climbing.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

"The Venturian Galaxy is dead. All original advanced sentient life is dead, excluding you and my children: the Noxarcs." She said referring to everyone in the room. "In order to revive the original species of sentient life, the Galaxy must be prepared for restoration. The Venturian Galaxy was to be Eternal...I must restore it so that all previous species may continue to thrive. The people....my friends...All that existed before...the death of all things was not a part of the determined setting." She paused for a moment. "I need to restore everything...for my friends...The inevitable conclusion...We fought so long to stop it...It was our purpose...but now...there's still time...to bring everything back...to undo the death of the galaxy...but I can't because...of this barrier."

John remained silent for a moment, thinking about what Aurora had said. To be honest, John didn't know whether or not anybody was still out there. After all, Aurora only mentioned that the original inhabitants of the galaxy were dead. A lot could have happened within 10,000 years, and if the Sanctuary of Light's computer was any indication of the current technology, then surely a hyper-advanced race of beings would have appeared. 519 trillion years was a lot of time for a civilization to improve their technology, and if Humanity was anything to go by, then they would have advanced very quickly. After taking a moment to think about what Aurora had said, John spoke.
"I have only one question, but I want you to answer truthfully. Are there other sentient beings in the galaxy at this moment?", John asked Aurora in a calm, serious tone.

Ethan lightly smiled in his helmet as SimO's remark, but remained silent. After all, they were scouting for enemies, which required silence and stealth. As Ethan reached their destination, he carefully and quietly hovered towards the shut elevator door and lightly placed his hands on it as he quietly placed the side of his helmet against the door. After that, he then carefully listened to what was on the other side, just in case there were hostiles on the other side.

Beyond the door, shuffling was heard, like a man limping. A gurgling sound followed, as the shuffling seemed to go in the other direction.
SimO quietly came up next to Ethan, using the maintenance platform on the side.
"Infected." SimO whispered. "The sound is unmistakable."

When SimO said the word "Infected", Ethan looked ovr to him and raised an eyebrow in his helmet. If Ethan didn't know better, SimO was referring to something akin to zombies.
"You mean to tell me that there's spores in there that can basically turn you into a zombie?", Ethan quietly whispered to SimO in a slightly surprised tone.
