 From now on, my heart.

Mother-General, in her heart, gave up the "General" part in favor of just being a mother. Carlos was the true general today, she knew that. He had all the qualities necessary to lead these people through this difficult time of change. _My Harry and Jana, look at the contribution they've made_, she thought. _Thanks, Ray. I knew you had something to do with all of this. Were you responsible for the new chips? I've known for a long time you weren't the monster behind the machine. I only wish I had known sooner._

At the exit, there was a crowd. A crowd! A big crowd. Bigger than they'd expected. Not four hundred, it looked more like four or five thousand, and those were just the ones they could see when they had a clear line of sight. But any crowd would seem large, indeed, if you hadn't seen one before. Mother-General's second dream had come true. Her first dream had been fulfilled: to see all of her children again.

Except for Ramón, but he'd been different anyway. He had been a boy soldier trying to be a man, trying to emulate his older brother, Carlos. He and Carlos had much in common now. Carlos, too, looked admiringly at his older brother, Harry.

Suddenly, Cyberts came out of nowhere. From every corner of the square, dozens of them. Mostly Blue Leaders. A few of the slower, but larger Red Leaders. Experienced, battle-hardened killing machines. They were blasting away at the crowd with their lasers or disintegrators. It was carnage. A hundred dead in a few seconds. Screams. Running. Running to where? Panic ensued. The panic also killed nearly the same amount as they fell under the heels of the stampeding people trying to stay alive. No one was returning fire.

The cyberts went into scanning mode. A 360 degree rotation of their heads, which moved so quickly the image of the cybert faces blurred. Next, the two extra appendages emerged and the laser cannon blasts came quicker and hit their targets more accurately.

No other Bios seemed to be armed here except for the three of them: Carlos, Marlene, and Kieran, who had taken cover by an ancient fountain. The others must have thought the war was over and laid down their weapons
From now on, my heart. 

 Mother - General, in her heart, give up the " cosmopolitan " part in favor of barely being a mother. Carlos was the dependable general today, she knew that. He had all the timbre necessary to go these citizenry through this difficult time of variety. _ My Harry and Jana, look at the contribution they've made _, she thought. _ Thanks, Ray. I knew you experience something to do with all of this. Were you responsible for the new chip? I've known for a long time you weren't the freak behind the machine. I only wish I had known sooner. _ 

 At the passing, there was a crowd. A crowd! A adult crowd. Bigger than they'd expected. Not four hundred, it looked more like four or five thousand, and those were barely the ones they could see when they had a clear line of sight. But any crowd would seem large, indeed, if you hadn't seen one before. Mother - General's second dream had come true. Her first dream had been fulfilled: to see all of her child again.

Running to where? Panic result. The panic also kill nearly the same measure as they fell under the heels of the stampede people try on to stay animated. No one was returning ardor.
