Life is a Game

Kaori asked me then, what about death? And if we salvage our life by securing a level and moving to another level in our life, what if we die in the game? I answered her that just like in a game, when it is over, we try again and then live another life to retake or reclaim what is ours. Though I am not sure whether this is true or not but based on our subjects who are huerts and ospians, they too not only dreamed and lived a life other than what they have now. In dreams or visions, they see themselves as a different individual but same person who has a different world or persona living on earth (or maybe another earth but different predestined or precreated outcome) a different type of earth, time, place or situation.

 So, I concluded that if we travel to Andromeda Galaxy, I know that there have been a time that I already did this but since I didn't get the chance or maybe lost my life in doing it. I now reclaim my future to pursue a goal I already had in the past and make it no matter what. So yup!, Aoi thought while writing everything she has found useful about the Lift and now since very tired, grabbed the hard textured sandwich she had prepared earlier on, took a bite on it and stood to her working chair to walk to a vending machine in the lab office to tick cold brew coffee and drank the drink in a can.

 Haa…yosh!, Aoi added and turned her computer, systems off, and called it a day or another day at 1 a.m. in the morning. Hihi! Kaori have been texting her but since she was preoccupied, called her girlfriend since she'll be up in their quarters at the laboratory condo at fifteen. When they have important findings or projects interns or employee scientists are allowed to rest or sleep in the quarters, with their names posted on the doors, so as not to confuse users of the rooms in the lab for emergency or other purposes.

 Are you ready guys?, Lloyd asked Dunea, Cecilia and Ericka while starting their training for the VOF Championship Bout. Tomorrow is 'the' day and they need to shape up and be focused on the battles they will need to go through as chellengers against the reigning champ Hayaka from G-Force Police.

 Godiva just arrived earlier this morning driven by G-Force bullet proof military police rover. She was welcomed by the Zero Dome staff and was led to the hotel where she will stay along with Hayaka and Jon. Godiva will mentor Hayaka and Jon until the fight ends, and Lloyd knew about it so he adviced his girls for a heads up in their extensive training. Godiva is not an easy competitor and since she has Hayaka on her team she knows she is on the upper hand. Jon is not just a regular solider either, and Lloyd knew that they have powerful competitors in this year's Bout, that he made Dunea, Ericka and Cecilia practice air, ground and field military shooting, fight and grappling using their Mobile Skims.

 Physical, mental and emotional training are what's important here than the warrior or fighter skills. Hayaka is known for her shooting and arrow & bow mastery and same with Jon who is a grappler, wrestler and puncher. Which means that in order to win against Hayaka, the fighter should be able to withstand her taekwondo pressing prowess and dodge her shots all together. Then, with Johanna, one should avoid being kicked or punched by her, thus, always distance one's self so they won't be cornered and killed inside the rink. Lloyd pointed out Dunea, Ericka and Cecilia's weaknesses. He also draw a conclusion on what they need to change or the play they need to follow for the fight. Lloyd also mentioned about the plan they need to do, and how to carefully execute them without hurting anyone or killing a fighter in the end.

 Godiva is now walking towards the Zero Dome Practice Area where Hayaka and Jon are chatting together while eating their snack of peanuts, chiffon cake and Blue drinks. They were just taking a breather since been practicing their moves using their MS and RoboSkims to get familiar with the new weapons added by G-Force Police's Engineering and Technical Weaponry team for Hayaka and Jon's MS and RS. Good work! Yes thank you for approving my request! Okay, let's win it then!, Godiva said on the phone.

 Hi, girls! So how's the practice?, Godiva said while walking towards the girls seated on the bench laughing at each other that when hearing their coach's footsteps, Hayaka and Jon immediately stood and saluted the woman.

 It's fine, ma'am!

 At ease, officers. Alright! Then can I see the new weapons we added on your systems. I bet they would come in handy for the fight tomorrow! Let's go!?, Godiva said clapping her hands as the two girls ran to their MS and RS to start the real deel fighting session. Hayaka and Jon will be fighting each other using their robots and this time it isn't a drill but the real thing.

 When I was a kid my great grandmother would always bring me to the movies and watch, Sharon Cuneta, Vilma Santos and Nora Aunor films. Though it's been 20,000 years when that happened, it's like yesterday. As I have mentioned, we age slower now since Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies merged. As if space has come to us, to earth, than we exploring outer space, our galaxy, universe and other galaxies or universes. Since everything is so near, we no longer travel outside of earth to ship or fly to other planets for a month but just hours or a day if the destination is as far as Andromeda galaxy's end or further.

I read her diary which was dated 10.000 years ago. Anyway, my aunt is still alive and in her prime, but I am aware that all her research's findings about Andromeda has helped me decipher the mystery, algorithims and codes of the universe, most especially Andromeda galaxy, Kaori thought while listening to the songs of Rey Valera (who was a famous singer in Majarlica in the early 1980's) who her grandma loves to listen to along with other foreign huerts such as Kenny Rogers, Phil Williams (Ospian musician), Rei Mansinee (Robot singer) and more. Rey Valera's sad, but challenging and inspiring life story has touched my grandma's life that she took his advices and experiences to heart. She even sang his songs on a videoke app which was so popular in the 31st century called StarBytes. Hmm….grandma is a wonderful singer, songwriter that she received a Grammy and Song of the Year awards for her composition, Lumaban ka (Keep Fighting).
