The group exited the ship and walked through the hanger.\u00a0 The hanger\u2019s halls were long and somewhat confusing but different colored lights lined the wall above everyone.\u00a0 The lights lead the way out to the street.<\/p>\n
Cyd, in a rush to see what was around the next corner, found his way to the front of the pack.\u00a0 AD7 lagged behind GarDNAnge1 marveling at the technological wonders all around.\u00a0 She barely managed to keep the group in her sight range.<\/p>\n
Message boards appeared and disappeared on the walls as they passed.\u00a0 When active, a message board was bright as any lighted sign.\u00a0 When inactive, the wall that held the sign looked the same as any other part of the wall.\u00a0 Confused, AD7 tapped the wall to make sure.\u00a0 It felt like any other bit of concrete whether or not there was a message on the wall.\u00a0 This only confused her more but she knew not to dwell on it or she would be left behind.<\/p>\n
There were so many messages; AD7 couldn\u2019t help but skim through some of them as she walked by.\u00a0 Oddly enough, some of the stories were about her.\u00a0 They celebrated her arrival and boasted in the new hope of their victory in the upcoming trails.<\/p>\n
It was unusual being the topic of news but nothing about her situation was normal.\u00a0 There was a whole operation dedicated to reviving her.\u00a0 The fact that she was there to read the story was proof of the successful mission.\u00a0 While she was happy that they found success, they had already made many magnificent things that she had only dreamed of.\u00a0 Why did they need her?<\/p>\n
After a few more turns through the hallways, GarDNAnge1 reached the exit with Cyd and AD7.\u00a0 The team members walked into the city without caring for the wonderful sights.\u00a0 This was their home.\u00a0 Everything was perfectly normal for them.\u00a0 To AD7, this all was brand new.<\/p>\n
She stared wide eyed at the city, trying to take everything in.\u00a0 The first thing she noticed was the city\u2019s utter cleanliness.\u00a0 There was not a speck of significant dirt, grime, or dust anywhere that was not acceptable.<\/p>\n
There were small gardens lined with small flowers.\u00a0 There was dirt in the gardens but that dirt was formed and shaped, stopping where the walkways began.\u00a0 Buildings were covered with the same type of concrete that she saw in the hanger\u2019s halls.\u00a0 AD7 guessed they could also become the message boards she saw in the hanger.<\/p>\n
The next thing AD7 saw were tall trees strewn throughout Sanity.\u00a0 She naturally mistook the nearest one for an oddly shaped wall.\u00a0 Instead, it was the thickest tree she had ever seen.\u00a0 She tried to lift her head high enough to see the top.\u00a0 She found herself bending backwards.\u00a0 Long bridges connected the trees far above the city.\u00a0 She could only guess they were for guards.<\/p>\n
As AD7 looked up, she also noticed small droids flying above the city between the canopy and the city paths.\u00a0 There were hundreds of them each with a bright light flying much faster than she could follow.\u00a0 They were bright enough to provide light for the city; she could only guess that they had a second purpose.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like this,\u201d Cyd spoke naturally as he walked over to AD7, \u201cIt\u2019s like a hidden mystical-techno-ninja-sniper village.\u201d<\/p>\n
Interrupted, AD7 looked at the not-so-young man that seemed familiar with her, \u201cI\u2019m sorry?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh my mistake,\u201d he said extending his hand, \u201cMy name is Cyd.\u00a0 I worked at the Rejuvenation Center you stayed at.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen you in stasis for so long.\u00a0 It\u2019s nice to see you up and about.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah,\u201d AD7 reluctantly agreed as she shook his hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere you are,\u201d Keyanna interrupted.\u00a0 She and Tirzah returned from the group to retrieve the stragglers, \u201cI thought I\u2019d lost you.\u00a0 This way.\u00a0 Let me show you around the city.\u201d<\/p>\n
Keyanna lead AD7 left down the walkway while Tirzah walked with Cyd in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n
