Connectivity

Theirs is a connection,
deeper than circuitry

Beyond that of man and machine
deeper still; the electric flash of synapse

It is bound in destiny; fortified in trust
deeper than blood
greater than love

Theirs is a union
the "Demon" and the goddess
the warrior and the intellect

Built for destruction Created for war
To deliver peace; through force and fire

Against an enemy from beyond the stars
Advanced and devout
In their wake; only glass
and the echoed screams of the dying

Threatened by oblivion; Tested by the promise of eternity
Yet they remain;
these two as one

Somewhere, out amongst the vast cold of the universe proper

They journey forth, into the unknown

This princess, of light and reason
This weapon, of flesh and bone
