I fix problems. I can protect you. You are small.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

…Good

*The lights on my back flicker and grow brighter.*

Do you have problems?

You, but not in a hostile way.

We're not open to new protectors right now. As far as I'm concerned, you've just intruded on our world.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*smiles*
Will do, thank you.

Come on!
*Runs off the porch and toward a storage barn with large garage doors*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*The two are still on the roof of this office building. What looks to be some sort of VTOL aircraft hums overhead, its twin engines angling to keep it steady as it casts a powerful spotlight over the city, sweeping idly. It's probably best to get a move on before its pilot starts wondering why they're there.*

*The access door to the roof appears to be unlocked, and it's unlikely anyone's in the building at this time of night.*

*Katherine exits to shop for local outfits while I roam the streets, taking in the sights of the city*

*Swings open the unlocked door and hits the garage door opener, exposing a fleet of 4 ATVs*
No chance we're walking the rest of the way.

Oh…intruder is bad. I am not bad.

<Snipped quote by Chiliarchy>

You, but not in a hostile way.

I am problem?

*I pause for a moment, then tilt my head. The lights on my back flicker. Suddenly I nod in understanding.*

I will leave.

*I turn to leave but stop and glance over my shoulder. I narrow my eyes at the girl in concern.*

You should scream if you have more problems. I will hear.

*I take a step to walk away then pause once again. I turn my head towards the Navi.*

Where is food?

What? No, we meant as you are somewhere you aren't and if you need a home or to help then we can find something for you. This is a lab that is restricted to others.
*walks up to you*
I don't recognize your kind, but I can introduce you to my Digital World if you want. We can use help there.
*turns to Tempo for a moment then back at you*
I'm sure we can talk over some food. What do you like to eat?

Are you sure you're okay taking someone in?

<Snipped quote by Chiliarchy>

I am totally sure! They will be my responsibility.

What were you thinking?

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

*Katherine exits to shop for local outfits while I roam the streets, taking in the sights of the city*

*Union is a city of dark metal and glittering lights. This late, not many people are out, and those who are seem rather unwilling to talk, choosing to pull their coats tighter against themselves and pass by without a word. Perhaps the most personable encounter Victor gets is a meeting with a vaguely Zamboni-esque street cleaning robot, which chimes cheerily as it approaches him on the sidewalk.*

ROBOT: Please stand clear. Thank you!

*It continues on its merry way once Victor steps aside. Most of the stores seem to be still open, but not many people are inside; glittering advertisements and peppy announcers ring a little hollow when they aren't attracting anyone. Victor passes by a coffee shop that appears to have become the home of a few enforcers in the same insectile suits of armor seen in the video I showed, currently enjoying a late-night cup of joe. They look up to see him pass, and one rises from his seat, donning his riot helm and pushing open the door.*

COP: Hey. Hey, you. Long hair.

*I stare at the ground in response before turning around.*

Rocks…Metal rocks

*I tap the ground with a claw.*

No rocks here. Are there rocks where you need help?

In my home, yes. But we’ll stay here for now. I don’t know how this world or even my world would affect you and your code.
*raises my hands up*
I feel I should let you know, but I am a Virus. Not by choice.

Ah, hello there.

If you're sure... you think the residents of your world will be okay with it?

Rocks...
*Rubs my chin*
That's a tough one. Real rocks or cyber rocks?
