[One day, she will have her own badass hover bike. Until then, she will settle for the much less awesome public transportation this place has. In fact, she'll even call a cab to make this faster.]

What do you want me to do about her, then?

He's probably right. They don't do anything in this place by accident.

[Yea. Well, York has promised Epsilon a bike eventually. It's just not happened yet]

I don't know. Maybe I just needed to vent in that case... Or get away for a bit before I make the wrong step that ends with me getting shot or something.

Carolina tried to come up with other ideas, but someone taking interest in his work and me showing up? Can't be coincidence... Though he wanted e to warn

[York has made her the same promise. He does that a lot.]

We'll talk more about it when I get there.

[The network isn't secure by any means and she doesn't want to mention anything that might imply the Director isn't a good little employee somewhere Bifrons can easily find it. Besides, she's almost at the bar. She pays the cab driver when she gets there and heads inside the find him.]

[Well, at least Tex could probably drive it... Compared to Epsilon here.]

We will.

[He's waiting inside. He's Church, but he's nervous, rather than the usual arrogant asshole. Then again, last time he saw Tex with them both in bodies? She shot him. And then there was all the Tex copies that had no idea who he was.]

[At least she isn't in a heavy robot body here? She's even left her armor back at the house, though she is by no means unarmed beneath the layers. Her squishy human body has seen better days thanks to her fight with Carolina and she slips her coat and scarf off as she takes a seat across from him.

She frowns slightly at his appearance. It makes sense, of course, if he has Church's memories that they would look similar, but it doesn't mean she has to like it.]

Hey. You wanted to talk?

[He saw that frown.] I didn't choose the body. Don't you start on me too.

And yes, I did. [Softly] Because the Director is confusing as hell, and I don't think Carolina's possible reasons as to why I'm in this robot really stand up to scrutiny. His reasoning does...

I know you didn't pick it. [She sighs and leans back in her seat.]

What does Carolina think?

When I spoke to Church, he told me I need to change myself so that I'm not like him. Can you blame me for being touchy.

She thought it was because there was something about me that made it so a body like yours wouldn't work. I just... Can't see that. Especially with what he said. He was warning me, but he wanted a favor.

[She rolls her eyes. She's not surprised that was Church's reaction.]

Yeah, I doubt that. They seem to have shoved the rest of us into bodies just fine. They're interested in doing AI research themselves. What favor did he want?

He said as much himself. They want his research, and I'm now the only convenient subject they have.

The deal was information for information.

That sounds about right for this place. What information did he want?

My guess is he wants me to tell him if I find anyone planning harm to him. Since he gave me similar.

[She snorts.]

If you find out anyone's going to hurt him, make sure you tell me, too. I don't need anyone breaking his neck.

Trust me, I'll relay the news to both of you if I hear anything...

I may hate him, but the information he might get is too important. I don't want to be the basis of a new experiment.

[She nods.]

I agree. You and the others don't need to get wrapped up in whatever they're planning.

Tex, I'm the one that's readily in a state to be usable for experiments if they pick up where he left off.

You and the others are relatively safe.

Then we'll make sure they don't fuck with you. You're staying with Carolina, so that's a good start.

For now I am. But I don't want to be a burden on her...

[She snorts.] She'll kick you out if that happens. Don't worry about it before then. If you want to help, learn how to defend yourself.

After what we've been through together? I don't think that's likely...

And I plan to learn to defend myself regardless.

How long have you been working with her?

[Since the mun doesn't like trying to estimate RvB time elapsed stuff when tired, place an appropriate amount of time here.]

She needed someone to run her armor enhancements, and I wanted to keep an eye on her... And I'm not just a replacement for the Alpha for her.

[This is implied, but she wants to hear it straight from him.]

But you are for everyone else?

Unfortunately, I kind of walked into being the new Church.

I'm sure Church will love hearing that.

Something ate the end of my comment, but oh well. Can always assume something interrupted him.
