Sara was dreaming of a rocky beach at twilight, near a sandstone bench shaped like a frog. Around her neck is an irridescent amber egg.

There are lights in the distance, and she watches them, and smiles. Behind her is something that looks like... well this, scaled up to have a human pilot.

Polly was climbing one of the glowing marble buildings of her people's city when she looked out over the plains beyond it and noticed that the sky was darkening, and Calabi-Yau had somehow acquired an ocean. Standing on its shore, she could make out something white and gleaming--it looked like something that belonged on the Thor. After a moment of staring at it in disbelief, she climbed quickly back down and ran out to investigate.

The robot turned to face her, spinning, an arm detatching and unfolding into a gleaming cannon.

Sara spun with it, then relaxed. "It's okay, Lilith," she said. "She's not one of them. She's a friend, or at least not an enemy."

[curious_copycat]

The girl skidded to a halt, more than slightly surprised to have a cannon aimed at her. At Sara's words, she nods, rather emphatically--she's definitely not an enemy.

"I'm Polly... Who are you?"

[lolinnocent]

"Sara Smith," she says.

The robot turns its head to her, then nods, and the cannon folds back up into an arm.

"Why are you in my dream?" she asks.

[curious_copycat]

"Your dream became a part of mine, for a minute."

Polly points behind her, at the glowing city, now fading away.

"And I wanted to see who you were."

Her gaze darts between the girl and the robot, puzzled and openly curious.

Sara doesn't miss it.

"This is my ANIMa. If I had an anchor it would be... between, instead of completely here."

She giggles. "I call it the Genki Lilith!"

[curious_copycat]

"ANIMa?" Polly studied the robot more closely. Her eyes brighten when Sarah tells her its name.

"I know that name! The first woman, wife of Adam and mother of the Lilim!" She gives a small, puzzled frown.

"What's an anchor...?"

[lolinnocent]

Sara laughs. "Is THAT who she is? My commander told me that it was less E.V.E. and more Lilith, and to take it as a compliment."

"An anchor... well, they're someone who helps me fight with this. It's hard to explain."

Polly nodded. "We read about her in school. For a long long time people thought she was a demon, and then fem-in-ists said that she was just a very strong woman and that's why men didn't like her."

Polly's all about explanations.

"How do they help?"
