Androids aren't meant to harbor any emotion.
But this was the time of year 6O had always seemed fond of. 2B never understood why, but she had always conversed with her about what others would do throughout the season.
The one most widely talked about was Christmas.

@9Sentience 2B idly stood to listen to 9S, and as soon as she heard the words:
'Black box signals'
From the other, she had to stop and turn towards the scanner unit.
And just like that, he started chasing after the signal he found. 2B swiftly followed, strictly behind his movements

@9Sentience Any* of that**

marks of any sort to continue their search by. Almost as if they were at a dead end. She walked forward, leaving her prints in the ground.
"Pod, can you sense anything nearby?"
["Report: No signs of the remaining androids thus far."]

@9Sentience β
made it towards the access point transport.
"We'll see."
A simple, soft spoken reply all before she entered the darkened transport box. There, she was able to input their destination: Forest Zone.
Prepared for the inevitable, their fast travel was finally accepted

@9Sentience β
something that frequently happened, but in some cases in times it did.
Still, it made her mood brighten up a bit by the way 9S would soon react, but she gave him an answer of reassurance.
"You'd need the backup. Just like the others called for, but didn't get."
@9Sentience "Hm.."
His answer to the question wasn't one she was searching for, but she didn't let that deter her from their current request.
["Scanner units have no means of combat, aside from hacking."]
Pod's remark released a silent chuckle from the Type 2 Android. It wasn't

Pod 042 appeared in front of the android unit 2B, allowing her to gently pat the top of its 'head' with her hand.
["Report: Pleasant."]
A soft smile appeared on 2B's masked visage.
"You were always one to enjoy such mundane things, weren't you Pod?"
@9Sentience β
access point near those who disappeared?"
["Report: Units 2B and 9S should use access point: Forest Zone γΌ to begin investigation."]
"We'll start there."
2B nodded slightly, beginning their walk towards their exit. But she remained to lead the way unhurried, before

@9Sentience The Type 2 Android continued on, until reaching the door leading to Command. The door swung open and she continued to walk forward, until meeting with the Commander in the center of the room.
"Commander."
She spoke, with a firm nod of her head in greeting.
@9Sentience 2B followed suit and stood straight, adjusting her dress back in its original position.
"Let's go, 9S."
As usual, she was the first to leave the bunker, and as usual, 9S took a moment to catch up to her. And there, they were able to take a silent stroll to Command.. sort of.
@9Sentience β
inaudible, really. 9S always forgot to mention this part before he reset them for her.
And so, the type 2 android set her settings accordingly, all before she heard his voice ringing throughout her eardrums.
