Almost a light year away, I was floating above Mercury as Dawn was getting control over the planet. I had told her that I was going to do it, but she told me that this was her job and that she could handle it.
"How are things going down there?" I asked but didn't hear anything at first.
[I should be able to get a hold of it soon, but I think this planet is dead.]
"That is fine. I had assumed as much. Just get the core spinning again, and that will start the seismic activity on the surface. That should be enough to have it primed for my takeover after my first death."
[Are you scared of dying?]
"No, because I am not actually dying. What I am worried about is that I am going to fail completely," I said, trying to look at the massive sun that was filling me with power, but from this distance, the sun was all-consuming.
[Fail? You have a plan, right?]
