Confesions of a synthetic girl

Well let me tell you the last few weeks have been amazing. I never thought that being in a desert with Vandal would be such a problem. Anyway I thought deserts were supposed to be empty.

Yes I know that deserts have animals and plants and some even have people. I'm not some airhead blonde.

I chose Mojave cause it was far away from Koma, but I didn't think I went there because someone wanted me in Mojave. But I'm telling you too much already let me start at the begining.

Vandal and I were walking through the desert. All he could say was "Are we there yet?" every two minutes. I suggested we play a game but Vandal wasn't intrested. After a while day turned into night and I made a small fire.
"Why have you made the fire?" asked Vandal. "We don't feel cold, well not the same way humans do."
"I wanted a fire. It felt tlike the right thing to do." I answerd.
"Sheesh!" Vandal exclaimed. "You really are one screwed up chick aren't you."
"Oh shut up Vandal." I snaped. "How would you know that was screwed up?"
"Oh right and its normal for a synthoid copy of a hollywood star to go loose herself in a desert cause she got dumped by her evil genius boyfriend. I think thats screwed up. Am I right or am I right?" Vandal was standing in front of me his wings outstreched and a look of triumph on his face.

I had to admit he was right but I didn't care. I wanted a fire and it didn't matter why I wanted one. After a while the fire died down and I went to lie down and go to sleep. Again Vandal was at me.
"Sleep. Hah! We don't need sleep. Sure you can do some systems checks and memory archives but the only reason your sleeping is habit. Next thing you'll be wanting to find someone to have sex with." The crow was right I was being human cause of Koma. It was all habit, I should be less human. I should be more synthoid. I don't need to eat, sleep or any of those useless human things. Even sex. Ok get real maybe we can keep sex. But between us lets just not tell Vandal.

So I was in a desert at night with Vandal watching the stars and listening to the wildlife. It was really beautifull. Then the wind began to blow out of nowhere. I could sense this was a localised phenomenon but what was causing it.
"Sqwaark! Where'd this bloody wind come from?" cursed Vandal.
We didn't know and when technology can't work out what something is it can only be one thing. Magik. Well magik and maybe a mutant or super-human. So thats two things. And then She appeared.

"Greatings Lin, Vandal. I have been wating for you." Her voice was low and still. "I am the Crow Queen."
