Amber went over the Training Simulation in the game. She had died.
"I would have killed it." she mumbled under her breath.
"What did you say Amber?" Keats asked. He placed a hand on her
shoulder, but it was brushed off quickly.
"I said I would have killed the smegger had this total gimp not
shot me!" Amber finished off with a raised voice. She lunged at Jack
who was a pace or two behind Keats and pinned him to the wall with a
hand around his throat.
--- Inside Amber ---
The nanos sent out rapid warning to each other and the forign object
again changed. The feelers it had sent out wrapped around her spinal
cord and fed into her brain. The object burst with energy and
secreted chamicles faster than it had so far, it also began to pulse
so rapidly that it looked like it was hardly moving at all. The
nano's fled from the device in electronic fear.
--- Back on the Dwarf ---
Ambers grip tightened on Jack and he began to choke. Jack looked at
Amber's face, her eyes were totally black no white or colour in them
at all. It was one of the strangest things he had ever seen.
"Tell me why I shouldn't return the favour right now?" She said
with venom in her voice. Dante saw the event and sauntered over to
the small group.
"It was only a simulation Amber" Keats said.
"If it had been real I would have been killed. I would have a hole
in my gut." She hissed, not turning away from Jack who was begining
to turn slightly purple. "The whole thing was messed up. Why put
people through that, seeing friends and family die?" She glanced
across at her Mother and Father and then across to Rufus. In this
moment she looked away Dante grabbed her and pulled her off Jack.
"Hey, cool it Amber. It was only a game." He said holding her until
she relaxed slightly.
"Really fun game." She said glaring at everyone. She shoved Keats
out of the way and stormed off to her quarters.
