Since Eureka has her first shareable memory, I need to write a small breakdown about how she sees and feels the world.

• Eureka can see somewhat into the ultraviolet and infrared part of the light spectrum! It means that some of the colors that she sees are slightly off. She can also see lingering traces of ultraviolet radiation, see better in the dark, observe some levels of heat on objects, and so on. To any human or three-cone visual characters, all of her memories would look strange, essentially.


• Specific to her world, Eureka can see trapar which is an energy that appears as neon green particles in the sky, band together to form waves when lifting, and so on. Humans cannot, but she can.


• Eureka also has a low-grade awareness of Scub Coral that covers the surface of the planet. Normally, she doesn't show any awareness of unless something is happening. Think of it as being empathetically bonded with asphalt, but you don't notice it unless someone blows up the road.


• More importantly, she has a higher grade awareness of Nirvash which she sees as a living creature (see above), and she can interact with. Again, it is an empathetic bond, but there is a greater dialogue and connection between the two of them. For the sake of not creating a voice for Nirvash, I will say that her communication is more removed from human language and leans more towards thoughts when it comes to this. She speaks with language to Nirvash, because she is inoculated in human language, but it does not essentially reply in that same language.

If you have questions, ask here . . .

Whoops, hiatus for Eureka and Zen.

SKILL: Survival Training
Brownie bite.

What it says on the tin. She can survive on her own for an indefinite period of time, but she is geared more towards desert conditions.


34. Inner Flight
Sea grapes, three.

The crew discusses Norb being captured by the Federation army and the repercussions for the capital and world if he is executed. They plan to infiltrate the capital airspace through an orbital launch. As Eureka and Renton plan to get ready for launch, Holland says that he needs to speak to them. As Holland begins to speak about how he met Norb at Ciudades del Cielo, but Eureka quickly interrupts, wanting to tell Renton herself. However, Holland says that it is his job to. He narrates how he first met her, what she was like, and why she became part of the SOF. When he comes to the incident at del Cielo, he explains the mission of the SOF at that time: To eliminate the rebel Vodarec threat as well as capturing an infamous high priest, Norb.

After Norb singlehandedly disarms Holland in his LFO, they discuss the conflict between the Federation and the Vodarec. Holland dismisses the Vodarec, saying it's impossible to coexist with people who worship monsters who eat humans, the Coralians. Norb corrects Holland, calling the Coralians the dream of the planet, and says that his first love, Sakuya, was a Coralian. He goes on to tell Holland that Eureka is not human; She was born in the same shape as humans, seeking interaction with them. Holland protests, but Norb tells him that Dewey plans to bring on a second Summer of Love which will destroy the planet.

In order to convince Holland about the connection between the human spirit and the spirit within the planet, Norb destroys the towers hanging over del Cielo before collapsing from the strain. When Holland comes closer to him, he discovers a compac drive embedded in Norb's chest. Eureka arrives on the scene with the children in Nirvash's cockpit, silently looking to Holland for an answer. Norb tells Holland that Eureka still has a chance to learn and grow if she is able to find a partner. Through finding someone that can make her smile, Eureka will be able to go beyond the Great Wall and serve as proof of the coexistence between humans and Coralians.

After that meeting, Holland explains that he defected from the army with Eureka and put together Gekkostate in order to follow Norb's instructions. He impresses upon Renton the fact that he is Eureka's partner and that he should have faith in himself, since he was chosen by Eureka herself. Renton and Eureka are left in silence, blushing from Holland's revelation. Later on, the two smile and reassure each other as they look down on the world from space. While the crew discusses strategy for entering the capital, Moondoggie volunteers to fly the Gekko in Talho's place . . .


38. Summer of Love
Amethyst gemstone, infinite.

I failed, Eureka. I don't deserve to sit next to you. I have children that I need to protect. And so I can't let this world come to an end. I'm sorry.

During a test of the Amita Drive, the Seven Swell effect was unknowingly caused. Adrock pulls the Compac and Amita drives from the Nirvash as he realizes the connection between a human and Eureka will have profound effects on the world. With this, he vanishes in an instant, seemingly disappearing from the world.

+ Echoes of this incident arise throughout Eureka's lifetime as it is her first brush with fear and, ultimately, loss.


SKILL: Alteration
Amethyst pen.

When she arrives in the Promised Land, Eureka's body begins to take on more Coralian like characteristics in order to create an equilibrium between her relationship with a human, Renton, and her own more advanced humanity. The process stops after it has engulfed areas that were previously scarred due to Eureka's desperate return to Scub Coral. However, it does quickly take over the whole of her when her existence as a "human" is threatened and extinguished.


AO: 14. Starfire (13)
Strand of pearls.

As Eureka is in labor with Ao at the clinic, Fukai is reduced to standing by and holding onto Eureka's hand as she struggles with the pain. To the question of where the father is, Eureka replies through gasps of breath, "He's fighting. For our child... For us... So I must fight, too...!" After another push, the sound of a child crying is heard: Ao is born on June 27, 2012.

I thought I had done one recently, but it seems not! So, question meme for Eureka/Luna and Zen/Vesper along with my plethora of personae and dropped characters! Let's rambling. ♥

AO: 13. She's a Rainbow (15)
A pair of gloves.

The Gekko sits in the middle of the ocean on a bright night. Ao is sitting in Renton's old track suit, fishing with an empty can, while Eureka checks up on him. The line gets a strong bite, and he is pulled near the edge of the ship. Before falling off, Eureka catches him, asking if he's alright. Ao worries after her baby, and Eureka is surprised that he noticed. She says that the baby is six months along, a healthy child. As a plane flies over head, they watch it with trepidation.

Inside the lounge below the cockpit, there is a spread of rations. Eureka gives her thanks for the food, but Ao neglects to which earns him a quick slap and remonstration. He gives his thanks, and Eureka says that he's a good boy. They talk about how old Ao is as he comments on his first day of middle school going awry. Excitedly, Eureka interrupts him, ecstatic over how good the food is. Eventually, they talk about the situation between the two of them:

AO: Um... You should really ask for protection.
EUREKA: From Generati... You mentioned them earlier. Is that the name of this country?
AO: No, it's not a country...
EUREKA: Ah, right. This is Earth, after all. But it's entirely different from the one I come from.
AO: Mo—Eureka, what was your Earth like?

[She looks down, pensive and uncomfortable, before looking to him with a smile.]

EUREKA: Have you heard of Scub Coral?
AO: Yeah. We have it here, too.
EUREKA: No. There's a lot more of it. It covers the entire planet. People were living on the top of it. Humans and the Scub Coral lived together.

When she finishes, Eureka rubs a hand thoughtfully over her stomach which causes Ao to fall silent. As the situation between the military forces intensifies, the two move onto the cafeteria that is worn from age. Ao fiddles with the Compac Drive as Eureka explains the Gekko and the crew that once lived aboard it.

AO: The Gekko?
EUREKA: Yeah, it's the name of this ship. I traveled on it with many people a long time ago. We were all on a journey together.
AO: Was you, uh ...
EUREKA: Baby?
AO: Yeah. Was its father traveling with you, too?

[She blushes, covering her face with her hands in embarrassment.]

EUREKA: How did you know! Oh, no! But, at first, it wasn't like that. We were pretty much like children back then. He was a crybaby as well, and kind of useless...
AO: You didn't love him?
EUREKA: Nope... I did. Every bit of him.
AO: Um, and was Dad...

[He pauses, letting his question hang, as he sees Eureka looking out the window longingly.]

AO: Do you want to go back?
EUREKA: Yeah. I think Renton will come for me, though. But I don't really know where I am.
AO: Renton?
EUREKA: To research the cause of the disappearing Scub Coral, we purposely allowed the Scub Coral to consume this ruined ship. But while we were conducting this experiment, we were both caught up in this.
AO: Both? The other Nirvash?
EUREKA: You're piloting a Nirvash, too. Right? It's so weird. It looks just like the one Renton is building now.

Suddenly, Ivica and the rest enter the cafeteria which scares Eureka. Ao explains that they were who the pair called earlier as Ivica quickly goes to greet Eureka who does not remember him. As Ao goes to talk with Ivica, Eureka talks with Hannah about the condition of her baby. She explains what the concerns of the doctors are about a child born between parents of two different species as well as if her child would hate her for having been born in such a difficult position. Hannah quickly reprimands her, "Stop there if you really think so. You fell in love with someone and you're bearing his child. It's all because you wanted to. Are you just starting to worry about the child now? Shouldn't you just focus on how to overcome the difficulties?"

The conversation dies off when Ao shouts at Gazelle. However, this fight is interrupted by the JAF forces arriving on the Gekko. They quickly detain Hannah while Eureka is secured by Endo who is surprised to see her, clearly remembering her from another time. As Ivica and the others arrive to investigate the explosion, a fire fight quickly starts.

As Endo escorts Eureka away, he explains the situation between the Allied Forces and Generation Blue. He says that she can't trust them, and the Japanese are wishing only for peace. However, he stops when he notices Truth in the distance. In an instant, Endo is hurt when he protects Eureka from Truth. Ivica and Ao are quickly dealt with as Truth is intent of being the one to take possession from Eureka. As Endo shoots Truth in order to fulfill a request from long ago, he is crushed to death in retaliation. Eureka sobs and starts to cry, heartbroken at the disaster caused by her appearance in this place. She quickly makes to escape, falling through a hole into the Gekko's hangar. She readies Nirvash, saying that she doesn't understand anything about the situation, only that she has to protect this planet. The Nirvash launches as the two charge forward to stop Truth.


+ Oh, there are consequences of having children between humans and Coralians ...
+ Sure did hook up with Renton and is madly in love with him.
+ ... Sure did set-up Endo to get killed.


25. World's End Garden
Sliced loaf of bread, Five.

While in the hangar, Eureka asks Nirvash if it feels sad because no one is around to pilot it, likening it to the hole that she feels within her own chest. However, Nirvash remains silent even as Eureka asks it to respond.

Later, she is curled up in Nirvash's cockpit, calling out Renton's name.

19. Acperience 2
Dried apple slices, Three.

Eureka is leaning against the wall, motionless, while Mischa is packing up her medical supplies. She says that they need to go as they are in danger, but Eureka dully says that she doesn't want to go back into the cave. After a moment of silence, Mischa apologizes to Eureka for not knowing why she is not doing well nor what to do to help her, only asking that she bear with it for now. Eureka shuts her eyes, exhausted and in pain. The kids run into the room to tell Mischa that Renton won't come out from his room, but they shy away when they notice Eureka, clearly scared to be around her. She numbly turns away from them, hurting once more.

When Mischa bangs on Renton's door, he doesn't answer, but Eureka doesn't pay attention to the scene. She only glances off towards the caves. Talho arrives on the scene and drags him out, loading all of the children, Eureka, and Renton into a van. As they head to the cave, Eureka slips and leans on Renton's shoulder before eventually sitting back when Talho reprimands him. Once they arrive at the cave, Mischa has to carry Eureka onto the Gekko since she is unable to stand on her own.

As Eureka is collapsed on a bed, she spots the kids peeking in on her. She tries to smile for them, but they run away from her, scared and nervous. Immediately, she weakly stand up and stumbles after them for a few steps before falling. Braced on the floor, she apologizes and says that something is wrong with her. Eureka asks if all of the children hate her now as much as the Nirvash does . . . Slowly, Eureka makes her way to the hangar, using the walls for support and falling several times. When she finds her way into Nirvash's cockpit, she begins to speak to Nirvash, "What should I do? Now, the kids also hate me. Why is it? Why did things end up this way?" Eureka glances at the Compac Drive in Nirvash and begins to reach for it. She goes on, "I guess I've changed. If things were going to change like this, I wish I hadn't changed at all." Eureka, then, slips and pulls the drive out which causes Nirvash instantly springs to life, changing his control colors. With that, the LFO races out of the Gekko and heads deep into the caves.

After awhile, Nirvash stops, having brought Eureka to a certain location within the caves. She climbs out and wanders towards one of the large pillars within the cave. When Eureka reaches out and touches the pillar, it changes from a dull gray to a bright, glowing fuchsia. Eureka is overwhelmed by this before falling against the pillar which turns soft enough to catch her, beginning to envelope her. Eventually, the substance wraps around her completely, sublimating her into itself. In another place, several red velvet curtains pull back to reveal Eureka with her hair loose then a bright, deserted landscape with plain, empty bookshelves that stretch on and on into the sun. As Eureka looks over the scene, surprised and confused, she recalls something important.


EUREKA: Oh, that's right. I was looking for a book. I have to find it. I have to find the book.

[She begins to run.]

EUREKA: If I don't hurry, the bus will leave without me. If I don't hurry, the sun will set. I have to hurry and find my book. If I don't hurry, the night will melt me away.

[She stops in front of a bookshelf that has a white book laying at the bottom most shelf. She kneels down to pick it up and open it, realizing that the book is blank.]

EUREKA: This is me. A book without words. A book with nothing written in it. This is me.

[The sun changes into a moon filling the same circular space as the sky turns to night. She looks up into the sky, up at the moon.]

EUREKA: There is nothing about me. I am nothing at all. I couldn't find who I am...

[She grows more upset as she goes on. The scene changes to her falling down in front of the bright surface of the moon.]

EUREKA: Melting, melting. I'm melting away. Scared, I'm scared ...

[She has a pained face, ready to cry.]

EUREKA: Someone... Someone, help me. Please, someone ... Someone, help me. Help me, Renton...

[She begins to cry. Then, a large hand sweeps out to catch her.]


Renton struggles to pull Eureka free from the substance that is wrapped around her, but he eventually collapses to the ground with her. Unaware of the situation, Eureka begins to speak to him, "I'm sorry. It's because I took the Amita Drive... This is what I deserve for doing something like that... Tell me... What's going to become of me now...? I... I... I'm sorry..." Confused and distressed, Renton begins to cry, wanting to help Eureka and realizing his own mistakes. However, Eureka passes out as a strange chain of events begins to unfold . . .

10. Higher Than the Sun
Blue glass ball.

After hearing about a spot with good waves coming, Holland prepares the Gekkostate for a trajectory flight to fly over the atmosphere to arrive in time. Eureka, Renton, and the children are spending time in the hangar together when the warning for the flight occurs. Thoughtfully, Eureka tosses a barf bag at Renton saying that it will be a rough trip. When the Gekkostate has reached zero gravity, the kids are impatient to run free. The group heads to the ship's windows in order to see the planet that they all live on . . . Eureka looks uncomfortable as she looks at an impossibly large storm spreading over a part of the world, the Great Wall, but Renton is distracted from her troubled expression by the feeling of her pressing against his back.

Once they land at the wrong location, an old military base, everyone heads in their own directions. Eureka asks if Renton is going to go lifting, but she says that she wants to stay where she is when he asks about her plans. In turn, Renton says that he will stay with her because of zero gravity. She is confused about this reason, but she says that it is nice. While the kids sleep, Eureka tries to do some repair work, but Nirvash will not open up for her, only opening for Renton. As he goes on to help her with another part, Eureka covers his hand, asking Renton what she should do since her voice won't reach Nirvash.

Renton goes on to check the rest of Nirvash as he realizes her unease with the machine, but he considers the problem to be mechanical, not psychological. Eventually, Eureka comes to sit closer to him, looking at Nirvash from the same perspective, while appearing completely lost. Again, Renton is distracted by Eureka, drawing close for a kiss, but is immediately teased by Jobs and Woz about letting it all spill out. As he tries to make a confession, the two interrupt again, and Renton gives up while Eureka is confused by what Renton is supposed to say.

After the check, Renton and Eureka watch the sunrise together until a bird lands in Renton's hair which makes Eureka laugh. The children come up to check out the bird, but it flies off to join a group to sky fish.


+ This is Nirvash's rejection of Eureka immediately after Ciudades del Cielo. She does not react well to this turn of events, and it continues to plague her for the rest of the season.

3. Motion Blue
Hourglass, Three uses.

Holland finds out what the situation is with the Gekkostate, and he tells Eureka that they are already too late, though he isn't bothered by that fact. As he goes to read the waves, Eureka says that she would like to and leads Renton forcefully out to do so. Eureka teaches Renton how to, then comments that Renton is amusing, like one of her kids. Renton frets over the comment, musing out loud that he doesn't know her name, which Eureka helpfully gives him. She asks for his name, then she says that she hasn't met someone like him in awhile. She says she met someone very like him awhile ago, and that he is very similar to that person.

With a plan in mind, Holland explains the details to Eureka; he is planning to do a drop-in on the Gekkostate. Meanwhile, Talho is concerned about the Amita Drive, and Holland gives Renton instructions to remove the device if anything happens. Still, Holland is certain that nothing will happen. As Holland sets off, Eureka says that Holland is mysterious, and she can't be certain what he's going to do. However, for that reason, she can believe in him.

Eureka and Renton take off as planned, and Eureka is ecstatic with how much better the Nirvash feels. She gleefully invites Nirvash to a dance as they fly. When they get closer to the time for the mission, Renton questions where Eureka's back-up is, and she says that she doesn't need any as they would only get in the way. Because she can't trust in anyone but Holland or Nirvash, it is what she always does. With that, she quickly dispatches the units that are blocking Gekkostate's means of escape.

As they go to join the rest, Renton sees a huge bloom of salt. Eureka asks if Renton remembers what had happened before, during the Seven Swell, and she quietly realizes that he doesn't when he is confused by the question. Once they arrive, Renton is scrutinized by the crew before Eureka appears to ask Renton to stay near the Nirvash, saying that she wants to believe in him. The exchange is interrupted when Eureka runs off to answer her children's calls, and she introduces the group before going off with them.



13. AO: She's a Rainbow (10)
Snake fang, Three uses.

As Eureka heads toward a battle with the Nirvash along with Japanese forces she introduces herself to one of the mercenaries, Ivica Tanovich. This earns him jeers from the rest of the soldiers which he quickly yells at. Eureka goes on to say that she met him before, which confuses Ivica as he heard that she landed in Okinawa two years ago. She says that it was much longer ago that they met when she came "here" once before. With that, she quietly looks on to a Japanese soldier, Endou.

When Endou takes a picture of Eureka, she tells him that she has a son. A two year old, trouble-maker. She asks him to take care of him if anything should happen to her . . .

While the forces try to subdue the Secret, Eureka works with the Nirvash to remove the quartz. The situation becomes dire, so Eureka abandons the Nirvash, leaving it to fight off the Secret on its own. She activates the quartz, apologizing to Ao, before she disappears into a beam of light while guiding the quartz to another time and place.
