Rinku walked his hands behind his head. "If only the people could reble against Red Infinity..." sighed Riku looking at a RI officer on the street corner. He walked and saw two people. "Hmmm....I wonder what their talking about."

"Hope..." Yes, they had kissed. They were... in a really big library. He was pushed against the wall... and then it changed. They were in an alleyway. He had his left arm back, and a gun leveled on the woman. She had her arm up, pointed at a building across the way... she was with a tall man, a man with wings, he was watching them and... no, that was all there was.
"Dayspring... I remember you." I tried to kill you once. "I'm... Peter. Peter Nielsen. I think we worked together once... How much *cough* how much of your memory is missing? I... I can't remember the least seven years accept in flashes."

"You are...Peter? But you look so different. And your arm? What happened?" I ask him with alarm. "I remember some things. I have a pretty good memory of the past few years, but the past 8 or 9 months I have no memory of. I had Kaze, another rebel, check it out, and she found that I have no records for the past 8 months." I explain to him. I look him over and take a step back. This does seem very strange.
"I heard that all of the rebel movements...all groups against Red Infinity...are almost non existant because of this memory problem thing. So, this situation is very bad for those who oppose Red Infinity."

Peter held his hand up in a silencing gesture, shushing Hope. The action made him lose his breath again and he spent a moment coughing. "Are you insane? You can't say stuff like that out here... come on."
Peter grabbed Hope's arm and pulled her into an alleyway, out of the main foot traffic. "Don't even say the word 'rebel' outloud," he said quietly. He looked around, but no one had moved towards them... "My arm is gone because the government had me in a dungeon for what felt like years. I think that they got what they wanted from me because they threw me out with the garbage."
Peter straightened up again. Fully straightened he was actually pretty tall, but his body was thin, like he hadn't been eating very well for a long time. "I think I was a re... one of those people as well. But there's something weird. I... I know things about people, about unnatural things. And I know how to hit a moving target at a thousand meters without a rifle scope. I don't know what or who I was, but I'm going to find out."

I feel ashamed, since I really should know better. I feel very angry with myself over this and hate making mistakes of any kind. "I...know, I should have been more cautious. I guess I was just happy to find another re..person like me" I say shamefully. So this Peter has no memory of his former self. I would tell him some things...but he might not like them. He might be happier just not knowing. I think all of us have been through a lot, but him in particular.
"I wouldn't ...find out such information if I were you. Just think of it as a new start. The past...what is the past? It's nothing. There are some things a person is better off not knowing.."

Peter looked blank. "And I should just your word for that eh?" Peter leaned his walking stick against his chest and put his right arm across his chest. He blinked, then dropped his arm. He'd been trying to cross his arms over his chest, but that didn't work with only the one arm.
"The past maybe the past, but I lost an arm, my health, and everything for something in my past. There's alot of stuff I want to know." But maybe it could wait. As much as he wanted to know, he wanted to recover more. Recover enough to hurt them, hurt the people who'd done this to him.
Peter was quiet for a minute, then asked the questions he needed to know. "Why did I try to kill you? And why did you kiss me?"

"You tried to kill me because I am an android and you thought I was a threat to people." I say quietly. That wasn't exactly one of my best memories. "As for the kiss. I guess I was alone, and you were alone. And...so, I just wanted to kiss someone. Maybe you did too, I don't know. It was more from...just pain and loneliness..." I say, and look down. I understand that he wants to know more about himself, but I will just let him find out most of that on his own. I never liked the LIF much or what it did. And I really don't want to tell him about Chastity, or other things which may be painful to discover.

Peter was silent for a long moment, then nodded, dropping his gaze. "I see..." He looked up again, his face set. "That'll be enough for now then. Come on, we can't stay here, or we'll look like we're doing things we shouldn't. There's Red Guards all over the place, and they like to check the alleys, believe me."
Peter turned, away from where they'd come, towards the other end of the alley. That end was less busy, there'd probably be fewer guards. Peter started to speak again but ended up coughing. He slumped, leaning heavily on his stick, coughing for half a minute before he could stand again. He wiped his hand on his pants, a few specks of red blood on his palm, and took a deep breath.
"Is there a place," he cleared his throat, his voice was rough for a moment, before it smoothed out again, "A place where 'our friends' can gather away from the crowd?" He needed to rest. Maybe God had finally given him something to work with. Maybe Hope could take him to a rebel safe house. That would be a good start...

"Yes, there's an old subway by the university..." I whisper. We aren't too far from Helsinki University and I lead him onward, but walk slowly because he seems very ill and emmaciated by his experiences over the past few months.
We weave through the crowds of people. There are mostly old women out because they are the only ones who have the time to stand in the food lines. Finally, we arrive near the old subway station. We have to be discreet about entering it, since if anyone notices a lot of people entering what should be an abandoned subway system, it wouldn't be pleasant for the movement. Maybe I will tell Zero that we need a more secret entrance.
After about 10 minutes of standing around the campus, it appears safe to enter the subway system unnoticed.
We slip down the old cement stairs, into the dark tunnels of the old underground. We walk a short while in the darkness, before emmerging into a well lit, comfortable looking ticketing area which now serves as a lobby. I look around for other rebels, but since the movement is so small at the moment, I don't see any right away.
"You should probably have a healer or doctor take a look at you..."
"But.. at this time i don't think we have one in our midst." I say regretfully.

By the time that they reach the place, Peter is bearly able to keep from panting. His face was sweaty and red. He really needed to rest. "There's nothing they could do for me," he rasped when Hope mented a doctor.
Peter dropped into a sitting position as soon as he found a possible spot, his breathing heavy. "There's... things inside me. They used to help me but now... now they just steal away from me. There's stuff inside of me, but it doesn't work right. I remember being powerful but now I can bearly move right. My guts have metal parts..." Peter shook his head slowly, "If I don't find someway to fix it, it's gonna kill me... I just don't know how."

"Just sit here. Okay..Peter. I will find Zero and Kaze. They are both good with technology. So...just take it easy." I tell him. I leave for a moment and get him a bottled water from a large refridgerated room where we store food. There isn't much food in the room.
"Here, you look thirsty." I say and hand him a water.
"I won't be long!!" I promise him, and run off to find Zero and Kaze, who should be around the base somewhere...

After he saw Hope leave he decided to talk to him. He walked over insentley and approched him. "Hey mister, do you have any-" he stopped seeing he had no arm and he looked kinda of tired so he decided not to ask for money.
"Are you ok?" he asked curiously tilting his head. "Do you have a place to sleep tonight?"

Its getting cold in Helsinki but it doesn't bother Rain at all becaise she loves the rain a lot. She ofte thinks that is why her name is "Rain". She then started walking aimlessly through the streets and often bumping to people. She doesn't need a crane or a dog to guide her, she want to do this all alone and besides, just because she is mute, deaf and blind, its doesn't that she is stupid. She is a very smart person.

Flying over Helsinki, I gather within me the power of my taint. Screeching, I release a massive burst of black flame that engulfs several buildings, melting them entirely.

She can feelt the heat round her face but before she can react, she push down by other people was running around. She doesn't want to reveal herself but she doesn't have time to think about it. She quickly reveal her black wings and flew into the sky and try to sense something.
