You're in way over your head here, you an' I both know it. You don't know anything about me. Or about my world, 'cept that it's crawling in bugs. You've got a Nova in your head already, why d'you need me? Go play with him. Leave me alone, I need to find Dad and Fayne and Grampa.

Hey there. You're gonna be a Nova too, aren't you? I'm Sam.

[getbakian]

Anwen. I dunno if I am or not. But my mom's one.

[kid_nova]

Oh yeah? That's cool. My dad was one too.

[getbakian]

Yeah. Did your dad run off and abandon you all, too?

[kid_nova]

Ah... yeah, kinda. He got taken by aliens.

[getbakian]

Oh. So he didn't leave by choice?

[kid_nova]

He didn't. Course, I didn't find that out for a long time.

[getbakian]

Hm.

[ Anwen doesn't have much to say to that. Maybe the same is true for her mom, maybe she wanted to stay but the Novas made her go fight the bugs. She doesn't know. ]

[kid_nova]

Yeah. I doubt your mom would have left you if she'd had a choice.

[getbakian]

It's the Novas. They didn't give her a choice. She chose them over her own family!

[kid_nova]

But... the Novas were supposed to be the good guys...

[Crap, does that sound weak.]
