Ethan stood with both hands in his pocket in the all white place of the simulation, observing as Lillian looked all around.
"This is?"Lillian broke the silence as she continued observing the empty white room.
"A simulated world," Ethan answered, "one capable of creating anything based on the database Athena has."
"I....see," Lillian slowly nodded.
"Speaking of Athena," He paused as Athena slowly started materializing by his side, causing Lillian's eyes to widen a bit.
"It's nice to meet you in person, Lillian," Athena spoke up the moment she fully materialized.
She had on the same formal suit she had registered with her form in the simulation's database, which was the same suit she had registered for Lillian.
"Athena?" Lillian asked.
"Hmm," Athena nodded in confirmation.
"The AI?" Lillian asked again.
"Yes," again, Athena nodded in confirmation.
Lillian turned to Ethan who just nodded in response, confirming Athena's words, still, she found it hard to believe.
