Passing

Sitting in his office overlooking Tabour Park Trayen collapsed into his chair, his cellphone hitting the floor.  He had just recieved and emergence call from Council man Bokuro, he had informed Trayen of the destruction of the HvCFT Executive, and the loss of Lucadello.  Trayen sat and pondered for a moment.  what would this mean for the City, for the operatives in the Matrix, suddenly Trayen felt an uncontrollable sadness, he felt the tears well up inside, but at that moment Trayen realized he had two choices, let it take controll of him and loose all composure or overcome it and compose himself, after all he was a council member himself now, he didn't have to luxury of sorrow he must get his wits about him, the city will want answers.  At that time he allowed himself one minute of grief, one tear to shed for his fallen leader.

Trayen then got up and contacted his operator. 

"Get me outta here now!  We must get back to the city.  The council must conviene, people will want answers"  Trayen said

"What will we do sir, the loss of Luca is a big blow is it not?" His operator responded to Trayen

"Yes..." Trayen said  "It is indeed but we all know how Luca was and he would not want this to overcome our dream of our city.  Don'y worry my friend all will be fine.  Luca was our greatest warrior and diplomat, but remeber there are four council members left and we will continue this dream, our city will thrive as it has, we will all grieve for Luca in our own way, but right now we need to get home.  Just........just get me the hell out of here."

 "Understood sir....." Trayen operator sounded somewhat comforted by Trayen's words. "Your usual exit is waiting for you, everyone else aboard the Honore is here waiting for you sir, come give the word and we shall go home."

((Well, what else can I say Luca.  You were the best of friends here and the best leader I have seen in this game.  You will be sorely missed by all here.  We've had our ups and down since the formation of Abaddon, but we will kepp it going bro.  No worries, you got my number and my MSN, don't ever be afraid to give me a shout out and let me know things are good.  Tell Jazz I said hey and good luck with the baby bro,  I for one will miss having you around.))

((Good luck and God speed my friend.  We will keep a light on just incase you ever make your way back to us.))

She played the recording again.

Again.

She reached for the control to play it again, but the world was blurred.  Hot tears flooded down her cheeks, as sobs of absolute despair overcame her.  She curled up in her captain's chair, as a small child would in the lap of her mother.  But she had no mother.  And now, she had lost her one and only brother.  Luca.... Nick....
Gone forever from her life.

Grief consumed her, as she wept shamelessly for her beloved brother. 
Luca... your baby sister Aiya will never forget you...

Requiescat et pace.


....Now, I am truly alone.

((Miss you, Luca!!!  You take care, and keep in touch.))
