"Eve knows the basic laws herself. Ask her if you want to know. As for the tech, what kind of scientist would I be if I explained that?" The man laughed once again before promptly shutting off the video connection. Clearly this was all the info they were going to get at the moment. "Well...that explained hardly anything. Apart from who built me that is." She sighed, looking at Jurgen and figuring he would ask anyway, so she might as well tell. "The two laws are; Don't intentionally harm or kill your owner, and put your life before his. In other words, do no harm and protect. I'm also more likely to do as you say rather than what I want to do." It felt unpleasant telling him about these laws. There was too much you could do to abuse those laws. But in the end, he was her owner so she had little choice.

That was one heck of a start of the morning, in Eve's mind. Though it could have been a lot worse. Like some guy crashing through the door trying to kill them. If Jurgen's paranoia was to be believed, that was entirely possible. "So...uh...now what? Our plans remain the same I guess?" Finding that gun shop, hunting down that thief a murderer, and tomorrow a showmatch in the actual arena tournament rather than a back alley ring. Sounded easy enough, for as much you could call bounty hunting and fighting easy.

(By the way, the windows aren't normal windows. They're those special ones that can become either transparent or opaque at the press of a button. For when you want privacy. Also, it was my intention to have Mary currently live at this place. So...she was already there a few days ago. ^^;; The others arrived a few hours ago though.)

Mathias entered the cabin, shaking hands with both Martin's and Gerald's hands. After some catching up between the three they all headed outside. Since everyone had arrived it was probably a good time for a very late breakfast, or lunch in Gerald and Mary's case. So while the two moved to set up a table and chairs, Mathias headed to his cabin. Though he didn't enter, not wanting to deal with the possibility of walking in on Evon while she was changing. "Evon? Mary? We're going to have lunch in about 40 minutes. So if you're going to swim first, make sure you're dry before that time.

He then headed to the largest cabin; Gerald's. On the inside, his cabin was designed like an old-timey hunting lodge. Sturdy leather chairs, the walls looking like they were logs, a fireplace working on gas, some fake bear and sheep furs as 'carpet' under tables and around the fireplace. Things like that. Though they were going to eat in front of the cabin. Two dark wooden tables and 7 chairs were taken out of the small shed beside Gerald's cabin, all looking like they were meant for interiors, not exteriors. Though they were technically still inside of course. And for once, Mathias wouldn't be sitting at the head of the table. This was Gerald's house after all.

The man grinned when Jurgen asked him a bunch of questions. They were pretty standard really. "As I thought, you're confused and curious. Well, allow me to try and change that. And if you're still confused after I explained a few things...too bad!" The man laughed before continuing. "You can call me Professor Nova. I'm a scientist and inventor, you see. As for why I did this; For science of course! The core of science is unbiased, above morality, and will always find you the truth in the end! Eve is my first prototype of a new kind of battle droid. But to get proper test results I couldn't just make her do some tests in a lab. As I said, science needs to be free to truly prosper after all! So I sent Eve off to live somewhere else, free to do as she pleased while I could monitor her systems without interfering. As for why I picked you...I just happened to pick you out at random. Be happy! I've already gathered that you plan on entering the arena's. With her by your side, depending on how she develops, you could even have a shot at getting into the top 10! But as I said, that depends on how she develops. You could just as well have her become a house wife. Though that would be boring of course. As for any money you earn, keep it! I have no use for it."

Eve interrupted the man's ramblings with a question of her own. "I have a question. Just how advanced and independent am I?" The man laughed again, apparently finding the question quite amusing. "Good! So you're self-aware as I planned. As for your question. Let's just say...that the technology used to create you can't normally be found on the surface." He grinned maniacally. "As for independence, you have free will apart from the basic 2 laws I programmed into you. And I don't even want to control you even if I could. So be free, and give me some nice data to advance my research, okay?" Eve sighed with annoyance. This guy was more confusing than she had imagined. And he was a loon to boot. At least she was free to do whatever, for the most part.

"Sure thing." She spoke, opening the file. Though that didn't seem to do anything, but give her some directions and a code. "Well...this is useless..." She muttered. Though the instructions told her to go to the nearest video or holographic display. So she walked to the TV. Next instruction was to take out a cable from her right arm. She didn't even know there was a cable in there. But indeed a small hatch popped up when she thought about finding the cable. "Whomever this guy is, he's definitely a weird one..." She mused, taking the cable and plugging it into the TV. The code activated itself after that. "It seems my internal systems are establishing some kind of remote video connection..." She spoke, waiting to see what would appear on screen.

Moments later a lab of some kind appeared, though it was dark, and there was no one in sight. Eve did recognize the place though. Especially the large empty tube with several device on and inside of it. Vague memories of being inside of that thing. Was that where she had been created? That is, until a few seconds later. "Finally, finally! I guess doing some experiments to keep myself busy helped pass the time~" The man kept himself in the shadows, so at only a dark figure was visible. The man was balding, wore glasses and looked to be over 50 years old, but the rest was too hard to make out. "So, test subject one - or I guess I should call you Jurgen - How's unit 001 treating you? Any questions you want to ask, you can ask them now. Not sure if I will answer them all though..." Just the way his voice sounded already made this guy sound like a loony. Cheerful, yet a bit menacing. Smart, yet sounding like that one guy that would do stupid shit just for fun.

Mathias spoke up when Evon mentioned not having a swim suit. "Actually, I've had Linda contact Gerald to arrange some things beforehand. When we have meetings and all get together we either go here, or go to my mansion. Sometimes we stay for several days. So everyone has their own little cabin here for those times. Which includes clothes, and also swim wear. I think you'll find a few choices of swimsuit in the cabin we'll be sharing. Or if you want more privacy, we can probably arrange something else."

Now that Lemon had noticed Evon she had something to say. Evon was quite a bit younger, but looked only maybe 5 years younger. And pretty girls that were younger than her pissed her off. She stood, walking to Evon and stopping right beside Mary. "You...let me give you a little warning missy. Stay away from my man or you're going to have to deal with me." But Mary ignored the grumpy woman and pulled Evon along with her. "Come come! I'll show you Mathias' cabin~"

Mathias just looked sternly at Lemon, as if telling her to let Evon be. To which Lemon begrudgingly returned to where she was laying near the pool. Mathias in turn went into a different direction. To the cain all the way at the back. That one had been turned into a small lab, as well as a place to sleep. As that was Mitchell's cabin. Not just a wealthy vampire, but also a scientist. One that loved to experiment and invent. For instance, he had invented a substance that could even put a vampire to sleep for over two hours or so. More for defense than to do harm, but still.

Jurgen was taking really damn long with waking up. Or maybe Eve was just bored with doing nothing. So around 8 am she went outside once again for another smoke. Though this time she stayed outside. If Jurgen was going to sleep in, then she might as well go do something herself. Exercise wasn't something she needed, technically. But doing some would probably keep her occupied. Plus it could give her a better understanding of her own body with any luck. She may be an android, but some things you could only learn by experiencing them. It was probably why normal androids and robots would never become better than humans until brain chips were advanced enough for them to become independent. Or maybe they were intentionally kept sub-intelligent because of that.

Eve spent several hours running about, jumping and just generally testing out what her body could do. Then finally she returned again, using the fire escape to get inside again. "I'm back." She spoke, seeing that Jurgen was about to finish his breakfast. Good, at least he had some time to wake up in peace then. And now...time to see what that file was all about. "I got something, by the way. A file, while I was in sleep mode. But I couldn't open it without you being present. And I can only think of one person that could do such a thing; My creator. He did mention that he'd be monitoring our progress so..." She wouldn't be surprised if this person had remote access to her systems to some extend. "Want me to open the file now or...?"

The door was quickly opened, though the knife made her raise a brow for a moment. "If someone really wanted to get in here, I doubt a knife like that would help much." She commented, getting in a moment later. Once he was done he explained a few things. She liked the idea of some kind of bed. The hardness or softness of the surface didn't matter for her body. Though feeling something soft below you did make for a better bed. Jurgen was clearly not up for anything right now, as he was already walking to his bedroom. She had to stop him for a moment though. "One sec. I do have a sleep mode I have to use every day, but only four hours. Any chance I can get a key of the fire escape so I don't lock myself out if I want a smoke or something?" She left it at that though. Whether it was a yes or a no, it was clear that he just wanted this day to get over with. Or to at least get to bed. If she did lock herself out and didn't have a key, it wouldn't be much of a problem to just stay outside for a while.

Once the door closed behind Jurgen Eve decided to just sit on the couch and watch TV for a while. That, and a little snack. Exploring the district in the way she did used up only about 5% of her energy reserves, but it was better to keep everything working in top condition. After about an hour of trying to learn from the world she was 'living' in though, Eve gave up. TV was mostly just stupid crap. So she decided to go into sleep mode now, and see if there was anything good to watch again the next morning.

It was only just getting lighter outside when Eve woke up again. Though something weird had happened. A data file in her memory that hadn't been there before. She tried to open it, but got an error message instead. 'Owner required.' Eve sighed, having no choice but to wait until Jurgen woke up before she could find out what this data file was. For that matter, he would probably not be pleased to have even more shit happening to him just after he had woken up. "Ugh...fuckin' creator. The hell was he thinking, dropping me at some random place without me even knowing who he is." She muttered to herself, feeling a little irritated now. "I need a smoke or two." Eve went outside and sat down on the small balcony. The sun was rising, so at least she could watch something pretty as she sat there.

(If he did give her a key she'd go back inside after about an hour. I'm guessing it would be around 4 or 5 am now.)

And then without saying a word, Jurgen left. He looked kinda irritated at the moment. She sighed, wondering if she should just follow him or do something else. Finally Eve decided on staying for a bit. People that were in a bad mood were better left alone in her book. "Another drink then." Eve told Gerald before grabbing another cigarette. She stayed for another full hour before finally heading out. Though she didn't feel like going back home just yet. This city was huge, and she only knew a few places. So why not explore a little? With a few jumps and grabbing onto an escape ladder she moved on top of the bar. And from there it was easy enough to jump from building to building. Most of them were actually pretty close together anyway.

Eve explored the district for about half an hour. By now it was starting to get pretty dark outside, so she decided to go back. It had now been just over 2 hours since Jurgen had left the bar. She went to the right door and rang the bell, figuring Jurgen would at least be home. "It's me!" She called, thinking that it was probably better to announce herself first. In this neighbourhood it probably wasn't that rare that strangers bearing ill will would show up. Or heck, even Jurgen's drug abusing neighbour.

"We'll be staying downstairs, in Gerald's home. I'd tell you what kind of home it is, but...you'll just have to wait and see." He told her before dialing the access code into the small panel beside the lift. Once inside they went down about 15 feet before the lift stopped again. And when the door opened what greeted them looked like anything but a normal house. It looked more like a bungalow park. There were 4 large bungalows with large windows, each building basically being it's own small house. The whole complex didn't look nearly as expensive as Mathias' mansion, but at the same time it had quite a bit of luxury as well. But that was not all. There was a pool too. And Mary was currently sitting in her swimsuit on the edge. There were also a man and woman looking about the same age as Evon, laying next to each other on a towel. From the painting, Evon could probably see that those two were Spike and Lemon.

Mary turned her head when she heard the elevator doors open. And right away she jumped up and ran towards Mathias. With a bright smile she hugged him around his waist. "Mathias~! You're the last one to arrive, what took you?!" Mathias smiled a little. Mary was always so cheerful. "Time is precious, Mary. And the meeting wasn't until today anyway." As if she didn't really care that he was late Mary had already turned to Evon and now wrapped her arms around her waist. "Hello again Evon~" She spoke cheerfully. "Come and join me at the pool, okay?" They had barely arrived and Mary already wanted to drag Evon off to play.

Eve had been minding her own business, just sipping from her drink and idly thinking about random things. But then suddenly she heard her name being called. "Hm? Oh, er...I dunno. It's not his job to give us everything on a silver platter." She then turned to the Barkeep, smiling a little. "Though surely you can point us into the right direction, right?" The man sighed, rubbing the back of his head for a moment. "Kids these days...so troublesome. Fine fine! I'll write some directions down on a paper for ya. It's a store that both sells weapons and does cybernetic enhancements. Though the gun selling is more of an afterthought. Either way, you can probably get a piece there for 400 credits or less. Or if you prefer a knife or sword, they sometimes also have those for a decent price."

The man sighed again and grabbed a paper from his notepad. He quickly jotted down how to get to the store and it's name. "Dr. Light & co." Sounded pretty unimaginitive, but it was always worth checking out. Eve smiled a little wider, leaning her chin on her left hand. "I like it here. Energetic, friendly, a good drink. I think I'll make this place my regular bar. Might pick up on some interesting bounties too if he-" She nodded towards Jurgen. -"decides we should go through with this." Her demeanor had definitely changed a little now. Like she was more cheerful or more relaxed. You could almost call it being tipsy, though it wasn't quite the same.

Gerald handed the note to Jurgen and grinned. "A new regular eh? I always welcome those if they're androids. Also, the store's probably closed already by now. So better to wait until tomorrow before going there." Eve sipped the last of her drink away before turning to Jurgen again. "So, I found my bar and we maybe found another way to make money. I'm ready to go home so once you're done with the contract we can go back."
