“Go ahead,” My Lord instructs me. Zer word is as much a command as it is an invitation. I shut my eyes and press on. Metal finds metal. We are both unfeeling, this Handmaiden and I, the sensations of flesh a mournful repose and an alien fancy; yet between us there’s something… electric. Tactile, almost. Skin has a language: the exchange of warmth, the tender caress from an initial point of contact to those places where touch is invited to wander, the ravenous greed that tempts a firmer hand, possessive and destructive in that way that commands attention, invites affirmation with such compulsion that even the language of lips must pay homage with its gasps, its breathy cries, its melody of pleas that plays but a single role in this grand orchestral exchange. Can machine-souls touch one another in that way? Can one work of steel invite another within itself and be one with them? Can we know one another, trust one another, as the entwined flesh of lovers might? My eyes open: my palm is splayed upon the eidolon’s golden heart, its purple-black cage all that lies between us. Lips parted as if to gasp are curled into a smile. I turn to Hephaestus. “May I enter it, My Lord?”

The cameras cut back to my face as my helmet snaps shut around it. The visor illuminates in indigo as I turn away, my eyes upon a gate that now shudders open slow enough for a few parting words to the audience from the Lord of Desire. “Giantslayer of Caryatid! Any words for the people of Elysium?” As she speaks, the walls surrounding the arena and separating me from the audience shutter black, hiding them behind a one-way window from myself and my approaching foe. Intuitively, thanks to the oneness between my mind and the systems of the talos — and in turn, the Handmaiden — I sense my comms open to the speakers throughout the Odeon. “No, My Lord. If it pleases the people and yourself, I would allow my upcoming triumph to speak for me.”
