Without wasting a second, Kirina slammed her hand against the Initialiser on her wrist. “Blue 102 here I am!” The blue that spread from her wrist wasted no time engulfing her small frame. As she vanished from sight, all her team members were left with was a frantic laugh of a half crazed Russian Lolita.
At first it was darkness. Despite all the light from her wrist, Kirina was engulfed in a darkness that left her nervous and somewhat empty. For a moment she thought that she would be alone in this darkness forever, and it made her scared. To her knowledge, Kirina had never been scared before, and that thought only scared her more. Goosebumps etched into her skin as she floated in the abyss.
A blue number soared passed her. Then another. Then billions! The feeling of loneliness passed her almost instantly as she was swept away with the beauty of a countless array of blue lights. They raced past her and left trails of light wherever they soared, Kirina wanted to touch them but couldn’t lift an arm.
“I can see my house from here!” She called into the darkness, hoping to get some response from the code that flew by. Something caught her eye. Far in the distance she could see code that wasn’t moving. It floated in a brilliant blue, being interrupted only by other code that soared through it. For some reason, Kira felt like the code was just for her.
All at once it came to her. Something in her brain clicked and she could read the streams of Data that stood frozen just for her. Straining her eyes she wanted to float closer, but her body was trapped in place. “Ki… Kiri… Hey! It says my name! It says Kirina!” She laughed to herself as she squinted to see what else the message said.
“Kirina run!”
And just before Kira could have a reaction, her brain intervened. Just like it had in the past, it wiped away everything she just saw, and the coded message turned into plain numbers once more.
Kirina, in a daze, noticed that she was naked! She let out a loud laugh as she looked around her, not afraid of anyone seeing her at all. Small pixels surrounded her body, waving to and fro, engulfing her small frame.
They started at her waist, spreading down across her legs and turning into a soft pair of deep blue pants. They hugged her hips, but spread out towards the bottom to be airy and comfortable. Then the small dots moved to her arms and spread out across her whole body in soft waves. Like streams of water they surrounded her, pulsed in the beat of her own heart, before moving away. Looking down, Kirina noticed that she was wearing a pretty classy, business-like suit. The jacket was a deep blue, buttoned only once in the middle, and underneath had a nice light blue undershirt. Her feet, however, were still in her signature high heels.
The suit, it felt good. Kirina couldn't help but let out a long laugh as the darkness started to vanish and she could see traces of the room around her again. She couldn’t describe the sensation that it gave her, happy? Excited? Strong? No, Kirina wouldn’t use those words to describe it at all. Kirina felt ready.
And ready she was. As she stood in the now clear room, she just saw a faint glimpse of jumping into the great abyss. Without a moment of hesitation she followed his footsteps, singing a song loudly in Russian, the clinking of her high heels disappearing in a matter of seconds.
