    Summary

    The convict- Simon. His name was Simon, and some part of Ava hated that she knew it now because The Convict was a criminal, a murderer - a butcher, some said.

    But Simon - Simon - was a person, who had parents and had a childhood, and had a voice that shook and quivered and broke as it yelled at her through a shitty microphone - "You sent me to die down here, and you don't even know my name?" - and Simon was clever, and Simon's amalgamated ship of spare metal had somehow moved off their plotted map, and yet he had found the coordinates for the lost SM-8 and had begged her to set him free for it's data.

    Simon - the one responsible for the destruction of the Filament Station, the one who's life was in her hands - was an enigma of data versus emotion in her brain.

    Simon wasn't talking.

    ------

    OR:

    What if Ava got to Simon before the beast found them, and got them both (relatively) safely to the surface.

    Summary

    Eden has always been Simon's home, until they left him for dead on that station. Sure, they had been harsh sometimes but what was the alternative?

    The Consolidation of Iron? The people who wanted to rip out Eden's tree and take their kids?

    At least Eden was peaceful, at least Eden didn't lie.

    Choking, gagging on his own blood, he realized how much he wished that was true.
    ---
    Eden had long used children for war, they were easy to train, and easier to indoctrinate when they were born and raised in a nursery. Eden was more than fine with the knowledge they were sending kids to die, after all, they all became soil?

    But what COI had laws to stop trials/convictions for minors? How could Eden get around that?

    Simple: If your calendar years are half that of the COI, your 15-year-old becomes 30, and you have “righteous” anger aplenty to point right back at the COI.

    If a few kids have to die to make ends meet? Well, It's just bigger than us.

    (OR I wanted to write a fic where Simon is actually just a really fucking scared and traumatized child, because Mark you hurt me with that ending so name Simon will get hugs.)

    The sub is filling with blood and the only thing that Simon can do is keep the Black box close and hold his breath. Who finds him first? The monster or Ava?

    Summary

    David didn't know. Non of them knew.

    They pulled the black from the water, and learned how many children's corpses as littered it for them to get it.

    How long must you blame your own sins on the evil of your enemies?

    How many children's blood on your hands must there before you're deemed a monster?

    Or maybe, it only matter who's blood it is.
