The Maretian: Equus Tales

Pause in Time

Time had no meaning to Sojourner, but even then, it still awaited the day for her Queen to return.

"My Queen, come back!" Sojourner thought, angling its cameras towards thee stars. "You gave me a new life, I have to prove my worth to you! Why would you leave me!? Am I not good enough? Am I not a good rover?..."

"I miss you..."

"I love you... My Queen...."

And as another Sol ended, Sojourner went to sleep once more, dreaming of little Dragonflys playing with her like the good rover she believed herself to be. However, there was darkness at the edges, and objects were blurred in the mist of the void.

Author's Note:

Not much to say here, just Soji's thoughts as she rotates through another Sol with no mission to accomplish as of yet.

In a way, can't help but think of Sol 233 and Dragonfly's goodbye as basis for it.

Ah, ok. I thought it was around Chrysalis being Dragonfly's "mother" and her trickling Mark into marriage.

Sojourner was set up to act from directives from Earth. Probably from the very moment the crew launched. They had a whole slew of things for Sojurner to do besides to keep the Whinnebego company.

Very true!

HOWEVER, considering the story is in 2030s, they had 40 years of archives to dig through to find them

Poor Soji.

[Black--Soul]

That didnt fit at all... A joke chapter?

[Black--Soul]

Not really a joke chapter, I was sick and needed to put something out so I figured a quick little snippet at Soji would suffice
