Silent Days or why we had the Silence.

Neo-Queen Serenity looked out on the city she ruled and
sighed.
Beside her was her beloved husband Endymion. Who looked at
her and said
"Remembering the good old days, Sweetheart?"
"No the bad old days off the Silence, I just don't
understand how could fall
for such an obvious trap."
"That's hindsight Dear, it wasn't so obvious when it
happened."
"Thank Kami-Sama for Morpheus and his crew of Valiants. If
not for them
it could have taken for years for us to awaken, if we ever
did at all.? Who knows
what other horrors we would have had to live through, the
way they kept
modifying our memories. Like the time they had us believing
you had a
sister and she was Sailor Terra or when we thought that
college girl was
Sailor Pluto."
"Hush Usako, it is all over and the Matrix is finally gone.
The last unwilling victims of
it, those who couldn't give it up and stay sane; died
tonight."
" I know; and I will have to do something with the addicts
too. Sigh, I suppose I'll
send them to another planet, there are just too many
important things to
do with the computing power of those Neo-Computers to
recreate the
Matrix for a vacation spot, as they are calling it. Really
They want us to leave the computers running just so they
can run away and hide from the real world.
If we did things, the way those fanatics want, it would
delay rebuilding the planet to make it comfortably livable
by centuries.
No, they'll just have to learn to live in the real world
permanently and I don't think they can do so if they have
access to even a limited Matrix or Silence as they started
calling it
recently."
"Where are you going to send them?" asked Endymion.
" That new planet, Nemesis, out past Pluto. The Silver
Millennium
environmental transformers are still intact, so it has a
livable climate. About like that of the Earth at this point.
I am tempted to give them one of the "Silence" computers to
take with them" replied Serenity.
" Let's go to bed, my love and not just stand here thinking
about people,
we can't change."
"In a minute, I am trying to remember why that name Nemesis,
seems so
familiar."
"You know our memories are spotty about our early lives . We
don't even
remember our original names in this life. All that was
erased by the Agents
of the machines.
I know all we have left are a few bits and pieces, and those
might be from some older sets rather than real memories.
Luckily the transformations reinforce out memories from the
Emperium.
We know I was Endymion and you were Serenity and the
others are the Senshi, Sailormercury, Venus, Mars etc. That
took Neo by
surprise as it was, he didn't believe in magic outside of
the Silence."
" Now come on and relax, what will be will be, the future is
not ours to see."
I though about what the Silence or the disaster between our
time and the creation of Crystal Tokyo, might be. Then I saw
the movie Matrix and wrote this as a look back and an
explanation as to why Neo-Queen Serenity would send her
trouble makers to Nemesis. when Sailor Moon had already met
the Black Moon. I hope you like it.
To White Wolf, Cherry Tiger and the hard working Admins,
Congratulations on a job well done!
I hope you have as much or more success in setting up a new
list, as you did before!
To Cherry Tiger, especially Thanks for having us as your
guests, It is much appreciated, something that doesn't get
said enough.
Be seeing you later, alligater.

"I guess I'm just an old-fashioned sentimentalist at heart.
I refuse
to accept a no-win scenario. I hate the thought of a
universe without
justice. If the maneuverings of dark powers can't be
exposed and
defeated by the pure of heart, then there's no point in
anything. I
can't believe that."
