As gentle as a feather, Virsyasa massaged her child to sleep as her guest sat on her old weapons crate.

It had been a long day taking her interesting guest around her country, on her then secluded homeworld Nortaiska. Taking in the sights presented by his guide's motherland, Koenig-108 had been sent as part of an interspecies exchange program developed by the Bureau of Interstellar Relations.

Koenig-108 was then offered by his guide to stay with her for a night in her home, out in a province, with the view of arcos inhabited by hundreds of Trutiossa. She was fascinated by what little infromation he gave to her regarding humanity and its A.I.s, and the places beyond the space controlled by her people.

Though she barely knows anything personal about her tourist, much less him being a human synthetic, Virsyasa found herself intrigued by Koenig since he arrived. He was quiet but seemed surprised at the sights he saw. He is a strange fellow, isn't he? she wondered. Maybe they could be friends somehow?

As for Koenig himself, he was interested with the information Virsyasa gave to him, including culture, technology, locations, and even her attire. He wanted to know more about her, especially with her experiences and her being a single mother. Really odd, even for me he thought, or rather, processed.

As the sun set, Koenig-108 looked at his guide gently stroking her child and switched to the view of the distant cluster of arcos of the city of Tholimpati. He wanted to tell Command about every piece of data he collected while on Nortaiska, except for personal things about his guide.
