“No, if you understand how something works it is no longer a miracle or a type of magic. It’s a science.”

"But you don't know how they got the energy. It's magic."
-
“But we understand how it works. The way it is created is a different thing altogether.”

-
“[i] Easy. You rearrange your atoms using a combination of heat and pressure to convert it into different matter, while simultaneously reconstructing yourself in the same matter in a different location.[/i]”
-
"Nope." She shook her head. "That would kill me."
-
“No, no it would not. If you create an exact copy of yourself while rearranging the other you, you are still you and exist. You would not die.”
-
"No, that would mean you're in an entirely new body. You're a copy...not the real you."
-
“[i] And as an android that makes perfect sense and could totally happen.[/i]”
-
"Rian, you really should get out and see the beauty of the world." Silver sighed "Maybe I can make a deal with your owner somehow."
-
“[i]I literally cannot leave this ship, Silver. And I know he cares at least somewhat, or he would’ve sent me to the junker. I’m very outdated.[/i]”
-
"Why can't you leave?" She asked, getting up.
-
“[i]I was fused with this ship by my previous owner. Unless you know a master programmer, if I try to leave I will die.[/i]”
-
"We could get you one. It probably wouldn't be too hard, right?"
-
“[i]No, wouldn’t be hard at all. The problem would be getting enough money to hire them to help me out. And Theo won’t pay. He wants me to do his busywork.[/i]”
-
"Maybe I can help there then!" Silver hugged her. "I'll get ya out."
-
[b]Rian would freeze up, looking very scared for a second.[/b] “[i]If you do that too rough it will unplug those wires and I will die. Please be gentle.[/i]”
-
"I am, Rian." She let go. "Too bad you don't enjoy hugs."
-
“[i]I would if my life was not in danger every time someone hugged me. I appreciate the gesture.[/i]”
-
"Now I'm doing this so you can have a hug without worrying." She chuckled, joking.
-
“[i]Well... Don’t know how you’ll do it, but I wish you the best of luck. For my sake. I’m tired of being pushed around...[/i]”
-
"A girl like me can make money in a lot of different way, I'll just do whatever gets you out the fastest."
-
“[i]I don’t want you putting yourself in danger, okay? Or anything else like that. Wouldn’t want the only person to show me kindness to be dead in a cornerclub somewhere.[/i]”
-
"Cornerclub? I don't know what that is, but okay. I'll be fine, Rian, I won't put myself in too much danger."
-
“[i]No. No danger. At least... If you do don’t let me know. I don’t want the only other person I know being a mercenary like Theo. Don’t want anyone to be a bastard like him. He’s been entering what happened. I know everything about what happened with you and the men. You were put up to this, but I honestly don’t care. It’s just good not to only talk to Theo... Just please don’t put yourself in danger.[/i]”
-
"No promises, Rian." Silver patted Rian's back carefully so she wouldn't unplug anything. "Danger is inevitable around here."
