[DAY :042] do androids dream of electric sheep?

[PING. If you happen to be surfing the Concordian extranet, a familiar looking window pops into the browser. --It's familiar at first glance, anyway. This has no identifying user, no chat text box. It might be more easily mistaken for an error message. It says:]

Hello. I'm awake.


[After thirty seconds, the window closes on its own. Should anyone connect one dot to the next and go check in the room where Kellix the skele!droid has been stored, they'll find him-- well, still prone in the made bed, but his optical receptors are lit up and his internal systems seem to be making fairly regular whirring and whizzing noises. That's a good sign, right?

These messages pop up whenever Kellix wakes up, for however short the interval. Hope you like pop-ups.]

You are? That's amazing, I'm -

Oh, I'm Angel.

Good to meet you too.

I'm sorry, I guess I'm a little behind, is there something you need?

I am sure he's glad for the visit. So am I, actually. Would you like some company?

[ She'll have to be careful, she thinks. She'll have to keep her hands and her mind to herself. She's learned that lesson, and she didn't want to do that to anyone else again if she had to. She'll sit far enough away from him that she can't do it on accident and - ]

Oh, no I'd love to if you'll have me. I'll be there in a minute, okay? Did you want me to bring you anything?

[ She's there a few minutes later, with a knock on the door and sticking her head around the corner to see if it's alright to come in. ]

[ It stills her - there's something so private to seeing someone's guts just - spilled out like that. ( Are, there's no difference, maybe some great benefit to being from her end of the Galaxy. There's no doubt he's living, Jack had suppressed the Loaders AI because everyone knew that past a point, they were real, functioning people, just composed a little differently.

But then again, no one particularly cared that end of the border planets, anyway. If you wanted to live, you proved it the way everyone else did: you killed for the right. )

So, sure, she's used to it, but even so, she's learned to tune it out. Because so much violence later, the gluttonous nature of all Pandorans, it had gone past sickening, to so shockingly intimate to someone's insides, all on display like that.

Worse, because she knows what she is, and how she wants to touch. To trace her fingers on the metal skeleton, brush the back of her knuckles to the tubes and wires. Feel the spark and hum of the life in him the way only she could. Feed her power into him.

She musn't do any of that. She keeps her gaze, her stance, respectful as she comes into the room announcing herself with a polite cough.

It's good to meet you too.

[ She moves further into the room, three steps away at all times. Going to find a chair and settling into it. Ankles crossed and tucked under her. Fingers knotted up and settled into her lap ( an almost forced grip, to make sure they do not wander from her ). Sitting where he could see her without straining himself too much from that angle and a pleasant expression on her face. ]

I guess this is why you didn't need anything, huh?

[ She wets her lips, fingers fidgeting where she keeps them curled. ]

It's nothing. Mostly, we're all friendly people. [ One or two exceptions, really. ] I know a thing or two about robotics, so if there's a proverbial itch that's bothering you in your wiring, I might be able to help with that too.

[ A laughing offer. CL4T-TPs complained about it, sometimes, when there was something not wired right, so to speak. A niggling in their mind. If it was just wiring, she couldn't do too much, right? ]

[ Her eyebrows knit, concern written all over her. ]

I'm so sorry.

[ She nods and - well, Pidge was very good, and better Pidge than her, given here she doesn't seem to have an in between. Once was enough, and it's not something she wants to risk. ] She's very good, I am sure she'll get you sorted in no time so you don't have to feel like that anymore.

[ That - snaps her up, brows knitted. Something bleeding away to focused attention. If she thought it was just normal repairs, then fine but - dangerous. ]

How so?

[ Right - she nods the once, head dropping down with a knot in her brow. ]

I think she can too, but you're right. I'll look over it with her, and see what help I can give her. We definitely all try to look after each other here.

[ It's not quite in her mind to go with her - not out of fear so much as she's not the one that goes anywhere. ]
