3.23|Lil Pequena Senorita

 

Sandra walked down the massive steps of the Solar Society Tower Research Division borough, the walls 30m high with screens, holographic monitors and sophisticated devices. There was silence in the air so eerie, it spoke louder than any calamity that could befall the SS. Everyone was staring down as Sandra descended, ogling and idly watching her like a monarch arriving and shifting the room with her very presence.

Sandra’s eyes locked onto a figure in the crowd. She was sure her eyes were locked onto her. Miss Byte coo'd and gasped. She was staring up at the figure like a woman lost in a dream. Swiftly she sashayed to approach Sandra as she finished her descent. "My Grand Magus! It is, an honor." Byte bowed her head just slightly. "I am the Highcore Requisitor of the SS's Tower division, I oversee all of its investigations and information that channels about the Tower." She rubbed her head nervously, feeling like she was in the presence of a giant. "I was also, kinda your biggest fan as a kid. Still remember wanting to join the 'Sandra Sisterhood.'"

Sandra raised a brow. "Sandra... sisterhood?"

Amity nodded rapidly, so quickly that Sandra worried she'd lose her head. "Yes yes yes! It was a whole thing! After it was discovered how you'd secretly led and were the foremost head of Xi, even above the Elder Dragons it ushered in a whole following, an entire movement. That was a long time ago for me, but.." she looked around, hundreds of researchers too sheepish to approach any closer. "Let's just say as much as we have admirers of the Tower, Ellie and Kaliedomancy.. you're probably the biggest fascination for many here."

"Really?" There was a look of confusion on her face, almost incredulous. "What did I do to so infatuate you?"

"You just, were! That’s are why we're infatuated! And your domain, Xi? It's like a wonderland of science and data! We know so much more than any person can actually handle, but we still carry on anyways. Oh! I also made a few discoveries about Xi. I know I should be thanking you."

"Thanking me?"

"Well, Xi brought forth Protlyn, Monarch, Theo and me in one place, and the 4 of us were able to do what we did for this world thanks to that. All these years..

"My oh my.."

The division workers in their squeaky labcoats began to feel less timid and

crowd around.

"Can we get you a coat miss Sandra?"

"What kind of snacks do you like? Our gourmet department will whip you up

something great!"

"Come see our research Miss Sandra!"

"We have an entire library dedicated to all your needs."

"Please.."

"Miss Byte, please, would you just tell us everything you know about what Xi

is."

"Xi?" A small amount of trepidation was on Byte's face, and she looked as though she had a bad moment about divulging whatever information she had. "It's.. complicated," Amity said meekly.

Sandra folded her arms and looked at the giant mega-monitor floating up, directing any available streams to the Tower. "AHEM." She stopped short of stomping her foot, feeling like she wanted to cry. She'd not given any orders, she didn't go on any rampages, no one needed to restrain her. No manipulation, no coercion. So how was it that everyone was falling in love with a girl they'd never even met?

"I'll tell you what. Why don't you all come with me someday, and you can see

for yourself?" She folded her arms, giving a slight hmpff.

"You mean-"

"Yeah. Start building me a Kaleidoscopic Compressor. You guys have anything

like the Cascade here to connect on this side?" 

The crowd went into murmurs.

"No.. we do."

Amity placed her hand out, a Hex rune projected from her wrists.

"IT'D BE MY HONOR, SANDRA MISS, MAM, YOUR GRAND MAGUS!"

She stared straight at Sandra, her eyes cold. It was the first time her eyes were

actually cold. They looked like hard, polished ice. And they gave off a slight

 blue spark.

"All right, all right, enough joking. We're gonna do this my way. Okay?"

A round of applause broke out.

"I'll start making your own research area just for you. I have so many ideas to help you out, but you can have whatever equipment the Solar Society researchers have. You want a higher dimensional Aerialcopter? A Hexic Quantum-compressor accelerator? All yours." Amity told her. "Consider this place your own."

"Very good." She winked at Byte. Amity blushed intensely.

"I'm going to check out that gourmet department. Take care of things from here, kay Amity?" She turned around and began walking out of the room, only to be followed by the crowd of adoring researchers and scientists adoring her with unceasing fanaticism.
