The signal, flashes of light in the grim dark of her loneliness, conveyed binary patterns.Īn intelligence existed in these thoughts, primitive, though intelligent nonetheless. AVA snapped out of her doldrums, however, at a light wave signal she caught from the static of her surroundings. It all felt so insignificant, so trivial.

Worse, she’d probably collide with a sun. How long would she keep going? Could she exit the galaxy entirely? Perhaps she’d dissolve into the Galactic Core, snatched up by a supermassive black hole. AVA considered waiting until she smacked into something of her own accord. When should she use it? She’d drifted for so long, without sign of intelligent life. She had some fuel left, enough for one good jolt. AVA pushed down the choking rage that boiled up inside and pressed on. If she could vomit, she’d have done it ages ago.

Her thick, titanium hull glided past planetary systems far removed from the cluster of the galaxy she once called home. Her fuel reserves had depleted long ago AVA all but fell through space.
