[color=0072bc]"Sure, sure, but just letting you know. More for me than you as it looks like this is more akin to where I came from than what the world has been for the past week."[/color] Blazermate said, shrugging. [color=0072bc]"At least the medabot rules say I can attack humans if they attack me. They had to make that rule after some idiots called the Rubberobo gang caused tons of chaos. If you see people in black rubber full body suits with sci-fi alien looking horns on their heads, thats them. They are goofy, but thuggish."[/color] Susie meanwhile watched the whole thing with Poppi and Tora and gave a slight giggle, noting Tora acted a lot like a teenage boy. Tora then remembered what Blazermate said back at the junk depot, and decided they should all investigate that again to find some answers to what was a really, really good question. With the four back at the junkyard, Susie, Poppi, and Blazermate scouted for an android to inspect, which didn't take long as they all found one that was mostly intact under some rubble. Thanks to all the subtle robotic muscle in the group, they exhumed the body which quickly got up and tried to speak some words of warning to Blazermate, holding onto her for dear life before it was cut down by Poppi. Blazermate was right, these robots were zombies! She got up in a guarded pose with her shield ready as Tora apologized for the altercation that just happened and got to work ripping apart the android. Upon seeing exactly what Tora was working with, Susie remarked. [color=ec008c]"Quite ghoulish work. Making a robot so identical to organic life would lead to that though."[/color] with Blazermate trying to get the flecks of robot blood off of her face letting out spitting and spluttering sounds even though she had no mouth for the blood to get into. [color=0072bc]"Seriously why would someone do that unless they had no idea how to make a proper robot."[/color] Blazermate said. Medabots didn't have any blood or liquid inside of them as they didn't need it, besides nanobots perhaps. After digging around for a little while, Tora found the core of the robot, holding a card like black box object. Blazermate looked at it, a bit confused but soon figured out what it was when Susie said. [color=ec008c]"So the core of these androids is a black box?"[/color] Poppi then grabbed the device after taking pictures of it to take a look at it with Tora guessing that the robot's spirit resided inside of it. After flpping it around a bit in her hands and giving it back to Tora, Susie noticed something with the card looking black box object and said. [color=ec008c]"Whats that rainbow crack inside of it?"[/color] Curious, Susie tried to get the item from Tora, but when Tora gave it to Susie, the card finally broke entirely, causing the body it was attached to and the card itself to turn into spiritual dust, with the robot's spirit left behind. Upon seeing this, there was a bit of a complex emotion on Blazermate's face as if she was both terrified, and relieved at seeing what had just happened. Susie meanwhile was in the same thinking process as Tora and Poppi. [color=ec008c]"Well, it seems that, indeed, the robotic spirits are inside these cards. Although it didn't seem strong enough to be a processor or power supply, which is interesting."[/color] Susie then heard as Tora and Poppi mentioned some 'cyberlife' thing, and his idea that whoever made these robots was aware of spirits. Susie thought for a bit as Tora wanted to go to the headquarters, while Poppi told him they had no idea where it was, and came up with some idea. [color=ec008c]"Before you killed it, it mentioned something about "find Jerico"? Is that its owner, its creator, or something else entirely?"[/color] Blazermate meanwhile held her head in her hands for a little bit as she thought, saying. [color=0072bc]"I guess that might explain one of my worries here, but we'd best find an actual medabot to do this same thing to before I know for sure..."[/color] mumbling something about that being that robot's medal and how fragile it was. A few streets over, a protest against androids was being held. Protesters holding and chanting slogans which Susie quickly recognized were people without jobs, having their jobs taken by androids and these people not at all happy. Susie mulled over if she could hire these people right now, but without the Access Ark or her facilities to turn them into cyborgs under her company's command, there wasn't much reason to. Nor did she have a real working business in the area, so there wasn't much she could do. She did keep a note of this unrest as it could be useful later however. Blazermate wasn't as naive as Poppi was about this whole situation either; there were medabot haters in her world as well but they were far fewer since very, very few medabots worked alone. After all, a medabot often needed a rare medal to even disobey humans that weren't outright hostile to it. Still, she hadn't ever seen it this bad before, but then no robot in her world looked as human as the ones here did. Speaking of a human looking robot, one was moving around the crowd and G Men in order to make it to a bus stop. Curious, Tora moved to talk to it, with Blazermate and Susie following since there really wasn't anything better to do. It seemed this android was a wealth of information that they had been looking for, even more so for Susie than Blazermate. Blazermate learned that this was exactly like her old home, although with the ID LED stuff instead of medawatches and all that. As long as she said she was on an errand she could move about freely, which was always a fun excuse. Susie meanwhile caught onto something extra; robots here weren't known to lie or steal as their maker, cyberlife, made it impossible for them to do so. Something she could very, very easily take advantage of as that was the bread and butter of the business world. Soon after the bus came and picked up everyone waiting there, Susie and Blazermate needing to sit in the 'android reserved' zone where they just stood while Tora could sit down. Blazermate was used to standing, even if she enjoyed sitting down, while Susie was a bit irritated, but took the time to think about all the things she could take advantage of here. But at least unlike Poppi, the two robot girls didn't look sad, as if this was the first time Poppi had ran into something like this. [color=0072bc]"Hey Poppi, is this your first time running into robo haters?"[/color] Blazermate said, curious. Susie wondered this too, although she wasn't as concerned as Blazermate as she was already thinking about what business to take over and fold into her own. [color=0072bc]"This is a bit more extreme than I'm used to, but its mostly standard, I guess its different where your from huh?"[/color]
