A strange day

R1T9A

She was a strange one. Nothing like the others. I wondered still if the death notice decision came down from the committee if I could terminate R1TA 2.0 like I did the others. No. If I could do it this time. This time would be different.

R1TA 2.0 was nervous on her first official day of birth as we stepped out of the compound of the Battlestar group. She kept close to my side. It was a blessed day though. The sun was shining through the rainy blue clouds of the dream realm. Droplets fell like tears and there was gentle breeze in the season.

She lifted her face up letting the rain fall on her face and a smile formed on her face radiating her presence all the more brighter. She reached for my hand. I allowed her to take my hand as I scanned the area waiting for our ride to pull up to curbside.

I noticed a few people stop to stare a moment seeing what I saw. I also saw an asshole coming up with purpose in her steps and a grin on her face. I caught her stare and she turned on her heel and walked back the way she came.

“When will I be permitted to see Dr. Moore?”

I turned to look at R1TA’s innocent gaze. “After you have completed your mission and we return to the dream realm.  No sooner. No later.” I said and then turned reaching for my crusier’s back seat door as the cruiser pulled up. I opened the door with my security and R1TA nodded her head and got in. The cruiser took off down the street.

R1TA stared at me. “You seemed troubled by something. Is it in regards to me and the new protocol changes handed to me only?”

She was nervous. She had a right to be but for the reasons she assumed. “You are the latest upgrade you are also different in temperament from the others.”

“I am defective in some way!”

“No. You are innocent. No. Don’t ask me what I mean. It’s time for you to begin your lessons.” I said and clicked a switch on a hidden compartment between us.

The lid rose up and inside blue switches lit up to my own board computer. I reached inside and held out fiber wire decker cord. “Take it. Your link unit is behind your right ear. Once you link it in I’ll send you instructions on where to go once you jack in to the spider web.”

R1TA 2.0 frowned but took the cord and started to place the jack into her female input. “I was instructed on every type of cruiser vehicle in the dream realm. Is this a new model?”

I shook my head and got out my key pad from the compartment. “This isn’t a crusier. This is the cockpit of ship. Get ready. I’m jacking you into the system computer now. The first is a bit weird.”

R1TA 2.0 sat back suddenly and opened her mouth on a silent scream as her mind was jacked into the cyber verse.
