Give the titan a quest

You think about what you really need help with. As you delve deeper into ypur own thoughts you hear the grumble of that voice in your head, getting louder the more your past comes into your head. You were just about to send the guardian out when suddenly a project you had deemed impossible starts to seem possible.

"Athena?" You start.

The titan seems taken aback by what you just said.

"How did you know my name?" She asks.

"Your ghost said it earlier. I heard it while I was drifting in and out of my sleep."

"What do you need us to do?" The ghost asks in an agitated tone.

"Well." You chuckle for a moment considering your audience. "If you would be so kind as to bring me a dead ghost-"

"No." The ghost declares.

Athena looks at him. "Let him finish."

"I would like to study the technology of a ghost. I believe that I can fix Failsafe."

"You believe what?" Failsafe chimes. "You aren't very funny." Her tone somber, then changing back to normal. "The vanguard has tried several times to fix me. How could you?"

"That's for me to find out." You fold your arms. "That's why I want a dead ghost." You chuckle again. "Not like you're going to use them for anything else."

"We've already told you. We will not-" The ghost dematerializes.

"I'll bring you that shell." Athena taps her breastplate twice with her fist before departing.

"John?" Failsafe asks in a tone you have yet to hear from her. "When you receive this ghost, what exactly are you going to try to do?"

"I am going to take my time and study the inner workings of a ghost. If I can figure it out, based off of the parts of the Exodus Black that I've already researched, I should be able to put you into the ghost."

"You plan to turn me into a ghost?"

"That's right."

"John, not even when focusing all of my processing power to scan a ghost can I understand the technology."

"Well I hope, for you, that I can."

The color of the light from her core turns a pinkish color, then to a blue. When she speaks her voice is somber. "If you do not succeed to put me into the ghost, will you leave the Exodus Black?"

You shake your head. "Nah. I have no intention of leaving without taking you with me."

The core light turns pink. Her voice cheery. "You will not leave me? Wonderful!"

You lay on your mat and try to get some sleep. Noticing the light continues to be pink.
