[hr]
Ariin stopped leaning on the railing mentally arguing with Paladin as he watched Paladin's engineers check over the shield system. He'd test it after they were clear deploy the thing inside required quite the bit of space. The young pilot groaned out loud as Paladin chastised him for his views, Paladin believing that Ariin could go back to his familyone day. Ariin maintaining he would no doubt die in service to protecting humanity as he stated several times. "Oh shut up you glorified toaster, you are lucky I even have an implant for you to live in." Ariin had begun to talk out loud now forgetting to his conversation mental as Paladin and the young man were no doubt engaged in rather fierce debate.

"Oh come on, you always use that as a defense." Answered the young man now with growing annoyance. "Oh no! First thing I'm doing is getting you out of my head and somewhere else... Maybe a cleaning robot." He grinned before frowned and then said much louder than before. "Oh hell no! I am not letting you come home with me if we get out here... I don't care if you want to meet me sisters... Wait your trying to projectgrowth ratios about them based off- NO PALADIN BAD AI! I DO NOT WANT STOP IT!" He put his head in his hands groaning loudly. "I hate you right now. I swear I'm going to make you a toaster one day, a very hateful toaster with no mouth."

Noticing the sound of somebody seemingly shouting at themselves, the Android couldn't help but find herself curious as to who and what was going on. Humans were just so interesting! Snaking her way through the hangar, she quickly found the source. The boy from earlier, Ariin. Maybe we has arguing with his cute little emoji eye? Making her way over towards the boy, Ana eventually drew close enough from behind to see there was clearly nobody else there. Frowning to herself, Ana bent over slightly as she leaned in and poked his cheek. [color=662d91][b]""Hey, why are you just shouting at the air! Also, why are threatening AI!? That's mean and they probably don't like it you know!"[/b][/color] She said, wearing a slight pout and planting her hands firmly on her hips. She was annoyed, but oddly looked a bit cute. The girl was a bit unhappy with him however, not taking kindly to the AI comment, knowing what she was herself.

Ariin had been just about to continue the debate when he felt a poke at his face then paused turning his head. Facing the girl he encountered just a little while ago he stared a moment. "Oh! Right. You don't know." He turned to face her pointing at his eye a little pixelated Paladin appeared on it. "A copy of my Frames AI lives in my implant." He explained. "That arguement? Was mostly me and Paladin trading comments about things." Ariin stopped a moment and sighed as Paladin flashed a waving hand at Ana. "Shut up, I'm getting there. So the two of us are communicating through my brain and implant some times I start saying what I'm thinking when I get angry with Pally." The AI made a frowny face. "To bad live with the nickname you could have gone back but you stayed so you are stuck with me."

Ana knew very well about what happened to the boy, knowledge from his incident had been what put the final piece in the puzzle that led to her. Still, she didn't show any of this as she glared at him. Pointing A finger at his face, she spoke firmly. [color=662d91][b]"Well maybe if you two were nicer to each other things would be different! Paladin doesn't deserve somebody being mean to him all the time."[/b][/color] She said, then after a few moments seemed to calm down. [color=662d91][b]"So he talks through the cute little emojis in your eye?"[/b][/color]

Ariin sighed. "Trust me we fight like siblings but we like each other. Mostly." Paladin made an eye roll as Ariin spoke. "Right now it's argument about my future. Also because Paladin wanted to show me things I really didn't want to know or see." He sighed looking at the werk kneeling in the hangar. "Mostly I get angry when he brings up my family since I won't be seeing them again." He spoke pushing back from the railing. "Yes Paladin controls my eyes display though I can't see what he displays on it." 

[color=662d91][b]"It'd be better if you two were nicer to each other! Oh, why won't you see your family anymore? Is that what he's trying to show you? Maybe he wants you to know what you're protecting! It could be worse, he could be showing you innapropiate pictures of girls!"[/b][/color] She said, before stepping close to Ariin with no regard for personal space as she peered into Paladin's eye. [color=662d91][b]"Its kinda cute how he talks! Though maybe he should get a body, like a robot fighting buddy!"[/b][/color] She said as she stepped back and mimicked some fighting motions. 

Ariin chuckled a little. "No he was doing something almost as bad." He sighed. "No I'm a prisoner. Surprised you didn't know, I'm basically here until they decide to put in a prison cell or I die." He shrugged as Paladin made a shrug on screen. "I quite literally am Lorenzo's property now." He turned and started to move and head up the walkway towards Paladin, the werk. "Paladin doesn't need a body quite yet... Besides Pally would want to pick what it looked like. Pallys different than most people would think." He laughed as stepped towards the werk opening the cockpit.

Ana's face turned a bright red at his first comment as her hands covered her mouth. [color=662d91][b]"He's showing you innapropiate pictures of men!?"[/b][/color] She blurted out, jumping to the nearest conclusion as her eyes were wide. Shaking her head quickly she shook off the shock and focused on what he said next. Lorenzo's property? Why would daddy need any property? For a long few moments a puzzled look sat on Ana's features as she wondered why her father would have another as property. Then deciding it might be classified she was related, Ana let it blow past. [color=662d91][b]"I wonder if my Tayna would want a body like itself? Oh, you're getting in Paladin?"[/b][/color] She asked, wondering if their conversation had ended.

"Ah no." Paladin showed a laughing face then it stuck it's tongue out at Ana. "He was showing me pictures of what my siblings would look like now. I haven't seen them in four or five years." He sighed as moved in. "I'm not leaving just making sure the new energy shield system is working." He groaned as he booted it up. "That depends. I'm not sure all Frames have AI like Paladin did, I would assume but Paladin's was with me being able to link myself to the frame. Being a cyborg and all." He explained showing her the plug he used. "Nearly fried my brain to do transfer minds and I ended up in the Frames mind... Weird place." He muttered Paladin then made a rainbow in his eye. "Oh Paladin wants to know if you have any family, you don't have to answer." Ariin groaned. "No Paladin she does not have to answer if she does not want to. We don't make people answer questions, no matter how curious you are, be polite." Paladin flashed NO, on the screen giving both Ariin and Ana his answer.

Ana nodded, looking a little embarrassed about her assumptions. Hearing that Ariin was a cyborg and plugged into his werk almost made her giggle. She knew this of course, it was part of his files she had downloaded when she bumped into him earlier. But he couldn't know that. [color=662d91][b]"That sounds scary."[/b][/color] She noted, but decided not to elaborate. She knew what it was like, she directly integrated with Tayna everytime. Then came the questions and the slight debate, causing her to giggle happily. [color=662d91][b]"That's sooooo cute how he bickers with you! Maybe we should call him Pally. It's adorable and fits!"[/b][/color] She said before suddenly switching over and becoming completely serious, not hint of the silliness from before. [color=662d91][b]"Unfortunately, that's classified information."[/b][/color] She said, rather firmly.

"Uh huh." Ariin spoke. "Well unless you have any more questions I should get the shield tested and then go get cleaned up." He shrugged with a yawn as Paladin made a sleepy face as Ariin focused on his letting the shield fold out and then engaging the energy shield generator.

Unfortunately for Ariin, Ana wasn't done with him yet. [color=662d91][b]"What's Paladin's role? Is he like a big heavy hitter from the back or sit out front protecting us all like a super cool action star!"[/b][/color] She said, leaning into the cockpit a little bit as she watched the shield power up. Immdiately thinking for a moment about how her Tayna could do something similar if needed. Maybe.

"Paladin is a protector not fast. He serves decimating targets and forming a protective barrier for others to fall back behind." He explained as he gestured to Pompey. "Generally I prefer to deploy Paladin as closet to the front as possible however. That is changing, I need to speak with Katya about an idea I had. Based off how Jason and I worked together on the last mission."

The girl nodded simply, deciding to look up the details on it later. [color=662d91][b]"My Tayna is classified, but we tend to be a bit... aggressive."[/b][/color] She said, no choosing to elaborate any further than that. [color=662d91][b]"So does Paladin display his cute little emotes in here as well?"[/b][/color] She asked with a pleasant look on her face.I'm

Ariin chuckled. "No. Paladin's AI in the machine doesn't do the emotes. Doesn't worry to much about it more important things to think about like how to kill efficiently." He answered smiling. "Paladin's purpose is to kill Cruxi."

[color=662d91][b]"Paladin should get more purposes! Like making cute emojis. Or knitting. I think I massive werk knitting would probably be the funniest thing I'll see all day![/b][/color] She said happily as she pictured the giant Mech with a massive ball of cable.

"Perhaps. Either way I know Paladin's happy as long as were helping people. Sort of thing, keeping other people safe." He laughed as Paladin gave a thumbs up on the screen. "By the way... I'm gonna have a little party soon. Paladin and I have fifth anniversary as partners coming up." He groaned. "Were going to have it done in the common area between the barracks, I'll send invites to the whole squad. It will be a good meet and greet too, plus I'm going to make cakes. Maybe pizza." Shrugged the pilot as he finished clearing the systems check and started to hop out. 

Paladin flashed a pointing finger at her then a question mark as if asking if she wanted to come, Paladin seemed to like her more than Ariin. "Paladin wants to know if you want to come, really wants you there."

A party? She'd never been to one of those! She would need to research what they were! A look of excitement appeared on Ana's features as she nodded happily. [color=662d91][b]"Yeah! I'll be there! I guess Paladin really likes me for some reason then, huh? Also I wonder how many people can say they got invited to a party by an AI..."[/b][/color] She said, a slight giggle at the thought especially since that number was still likely zero. Afterall, she wasn't exactly a person herself.

"Right well I should head out... I have supplies to grab and then I need to see Katya about changing up our combat formation." The young pilot chuckled as he moved with speed, curiously not making much noise on the catwalk. "Later Ana, see you around!" Paladin made a little wave as well as Ariin headed towards the kitchen, theft round two. He wondered how long it would be before someone figured out the resident thief was stealing the supplies to bake the treats for others?

Ana waved farewell to her newly made friends, before turning away from the massive werk before her and humming slightly to herself as she skipped off. Maybe she would go find her father next, ask him why he owned that curious boy, and then ask him what a party was. Maybe he would even give her a cute dress to wear! Shrugging to herself Ana began making her way towards Lorenzo's labs once more. Having idetically memorized the way from the labs to the hangar, it wouldn't be a very long walk.
