Their corner of the galaxy echoed with Eclipse's screams, as metal bent and circuitry twisted.
Perhaps .. this was a bad idea...
...
You get what you asked for
I do not need to tell you.
How delightful.
Suffer.
Wait, how many other Eclipse do you know? THAT totality person is another Eclipse right?
How'd you two meet?
Recent.
He's been spying on me.
I think it's kind of adorable.
As for Eclipses, I know a fair few, but not all of them have "blogs".
Some are probably deceased by now too.
I've been alive for a long time, after all.
....
I apologize, Exe...
This is serious.
You know I promised not to bother you unless it was.
I need you to look at my systems, this time.
Ugh.
What am I even doing here.
@pr0tostar you wanted me to create a blog; so here I am.
What do you want ?
I see you've got yourself involved in something ridiculous again.
You can't keep coming to me when your life falls apart.
I've had enough of hearing you whine about Sun, you realize?
Love is stupid, and you're an idiot for ever entertaining it.
Thought you were smarter than that, but I guess not.
Look where you are now.

It's a shame. A real shame.
But your feelings are holding you back. That little stain has made it clear he doesn't want anything to do with you. So why hold onto such hopeless feelings.
Oh I already have so many ideas.
We should kidnap that other Eclipse. He's the one keeping the traitor active. What fun would there be to torment a dormant spirit after all. Oo that rhymes~ Torment a dormant spirit. As much as I hate hurting another Eclipse... He did ask for it by helping the little cockroach. Right after you'd been so nice to him too. Ungrateful asshole. And it seems your dear Sunny has developped a soft spot for him.
So what do you think?
Hmm, you may be right.
On both accounts.
Still, Eclipse did me a courtesy... it would be awfully rude.
I'm not entirely opposed, however.
Do share your ideas, darling.
I.. I'm so lonely.
And so mad too!
We should have prepared better !
Eclipse, you idiot!
Come back..
Stars, at this rate I'll have to try and put together something to maybe get out of here. I may have some of Moon's code in me now, but is it enough to actually make something?
I, at least, need to make something that can generate electricity!
I found some.. light panel fragments that still work?
The light outside is dim during the daylight cycle but maybe I can use them to charge myself?
I still need to find a way to install them on something. And some cable that can be connected... to it?
Gosh, how does Eclipse do these things...
I'm on my last braincell for this project !
What shall I name it?
Project Sun shall survive until reunited with Clip?
Sheesh, what a mouthful.
Maybe Sunrise.
Sunrises are always full of hope and newness.
Project Sunrise... yeah!
<Clip returned after 15 minutes with a tray of warm coffee, including a small milk dispenser filled with warm cream and a little pot of sugar, which he offered to Eclipse without a word, despite earlier interactions>
5 more minutes and we'll run diagnostics to get a mapping of what's running rampant in your code.
<His tone was matter of fact, but belied no previous anger>
Hey. This is Eclipse. I... require your assistance... regarding my code. That corrupted Sun did something to it and I would need help figuring out what it is exactly. You are the only one I know with the knowledge necessary to solve this problem.
Believe me. If I had any other choice I wouldn't have asked you for help.
( @eclipse83 )
Why, ofcourse.
Do you expect me at yours, or would you like to come to mine?
I may have better equipment to deal with your... little issue.
E., who has been waiting for you.
<Something dangerous flashed across Clip's face at Eclipse declining his courtesy. But he looked away and continued typing. After about 10 minutes, he stopped.>
I am.. unsure.. if he will survive.
<His subsequent typing was much softer, and Eclipse could see his fingers tremble.>

Oh Eclipse... Eclipse.
It's a shame he chose to become my enemy.
I would have loved to have been his.. friend, accomplice ?
We could have done marvellous things together.
But alas, he is soft.
Gentle even.. although he doesn't dare admit such to himself.
Even ☆Sun, I had molded into harder stuff.
Stronger stuff.
Although he proclaims to have left all that behind.
Tch.
He thinks he can escape years of conditioning that easily?
I made him perfect, and he threw it all away.
And for what?
An inferior version of myself?
Pathetic.
To think I tried to play by his rules; be "nicer" to others.
Such tedium.
<Clip paused, and hung his head>
The effort was never wasted, considering the corrupted Sun would have decimated dimensions if left unchecked.
I ... appreciate the extra measures of concern for my Sun.
... but I suppose that was never the main goal.
<He glanced at Eclipse sadly>
We did what we had to.
<Before pressing one final button>
<Nanomachine technology started reconstructing itself into a chamber>
It'll take about 20 minutes for the diagnostic chamber to be completed. Care for any refreshments in the meantime?
Oh and, I'll need you to connect to the usb slot here to finish activating this when it's done. It's tailor made, after all.
