[Matt had ventured into deck 12 today, looking for knick knacks and other miscellaneous items. While digging through the suitcases, he happened upon one completely filled with the letters of the English alphabet.

In a move that could only be described as pure genius, he stuck his hand into the suitcase, just to see if it was really full of

[Someone is already on that deck with you, Matt. Zee outlay there, sporting through a few things. Her silver outfit is well and good, but she find humans react nrr to casual clothing. Since it doesn't seem as if shes going home anytime soon, she might as well stock up.

When she hears someone else, she stands to search for the speaker. When she does find him, she comes on over, pile of clothing in hand. Expertly plucking a magnet off, she watches as it sticks to her hand as well. Interesting.]

You require assistance?

[madteos]

[Matt jumps. Zee, don't sneak up on him like that.]

Yeah, if you don't mind.

[battle_droid]

[She doesn't mean to 8<

She picks the little magnet off her hand and tries to flick it to the ground, But she's unsuccessful.]

. . .

[She tries again, but it just moves and sticks to her wrist.]

[madteos]

[Yeah.]

I've been having the same problem.

[battle_droid]

[If Zee knew how to emote she'd be a little pissy.]

Are you a droid as well?

[Shake shake. wtf.]

[madteos]

Not quite.

[He has a chip in his brain if that counts.]

[battle_droid]

[He gets a quick scan as she delicately plucks the magnet with her fingertips and flings. This time it works.]

I can see as much. [Clearly. She's picking up all sorts of interesting things about you, Matt.]

You are a complex being. [Like her, only in different ways. Zee isn't human, but she's easily mistaken for one. Her insides are just as complex.]

[madteos]

[...]

I'm nothing special.

[battle_droid]

[There's a tiny blue flash in Zee's eyes that indicates the can is finished. When she speaks, her voice is, as always, monotone.]

I do not think that you realize the true uniqueness of your construct. I have never seen a human so well meshed with cybernetics before. Your circuitry is complex - whoever coordinated these upgrades to your human shell was extremely competent in their study.

[madteos]

[Matt pales a bit. She's not from Burim Pax...is she?]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[But he's taking a step back, ready to break into a run. When they send robots after you, then you know shit just got real, son.]

[battle_droid]

[Zee is a little troubled by that statement. She sincerely hopes the government has not been experimenting on people without their knowledge or consent. That would...be a major conflict of interests for her.

It just wasn't possible - Roger would have never let that happen.]

Are you unaware of your vital systems being incorporated into complex circuitry? [Her eyes flicker again.]

My scans show abnormalities in your bone marrow as well - you are not fully human.

[madteos]

[Matt visibly falters. This is definitely not good. He takes another step back.]

You're with them aren't you?

[battle_droid]

[...She's frightening him. Humans (and even partial ones, it seemed) were so easily unnerved sometimes. She modulates her tone, and manages to inflect confusion into her tone.]

I am afraid I do not know who you are speaking of. Clarification is requested at this point in time.

[...So much for not sounding robotic. Some days, Zee just can't win.]

[madteos]

[Is she trying to trick him? Matt can feel his heart hammer in his chest. And all that information is being fed to the chip in his head. Can you tell, Zee? Fight or flight, Matty. Better decide fast.]

Don't play stupid! You know they're after me!

[His brow furrows.]

But we're not in Burim Pax anymore. And I won't go back.

[battle_droid]

[She can tell.]

It would be beneficial for you to calm down. I have no knowledge of a place called Burim Pax, and I still do not have the data pertaining to who is after you.

[madteos]

[...What?]

If you're not...then who are you?
