Well some androids do different things. I know an operator who is really into flowers. And another who does . . weird tests on other androids.

And yeah, we can eat. But we don't need to - at least I don't know of any androids who've starved.

[𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐌𝐁 ᥫ᭡ @SANROMEROKNlGHT]

Yeah? Cool!

What's an android do for fun when you got no robots to beat up? Do you go for food or something? Do you guys even eat?

[𝐘𝐨𝐑𝐇𝐚 𝚗𝚘.𝟿 𝚄𝚗𝚒𝚝 𝚂 @9SVer48]

They usually are, but they've been oddly quiet lately.

So, I guess that means I'm 'off-duty' now. Huh, that barely ever happens.

[𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐌𝐁 ᥫ᭡ @SANROMEROKNlGHT]

Hey, @9SVer48?

Are those little robots still giving you trouble?

[𝐘𝐨𝐑𝐇𝐚 𝚗𝚘.𝟿 𝚄𝚗𝚒𝚝 𝚂 @9SVer48]

While 9S was advancing through the systems of the robot network, fighting off subroutines, the ground began to shake. As a rustbot 12 feet tall made its way towards the pair.

Juliet would have her work cut out for her.

He's not used to being bossed around in such a uncouth way, but it did feel much more human than whenever 2B gave her orders.

His Pod assisted her in covering Nines, laying down covering fire that slowed down, but did not fully stop the advance of the tin cans it shot at. +

[𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐌𝐁 ᥫ᭡ @SANROMEROKNlGHT]

❝ Whatever you say, dude! ❞

That kind of nerdy, techy speak went right in one ear and out the other, but if all he needed was for her to keep tearing up the walking tin cans trying to beat her to death then she had it covered.

Juliet easily moved over to 9S with a series +

[𝐘𝐨𝐑𝐇𝐚 𝚗𝚘.𝟿 𝚄𝚗𝚒𝚝 𝚂 @9SVer48]

" Uh, Juliet, can you guard me for a few minutes!? I can probably hack the local node and shut all these guys down, but I won't be able to protect myself while doing it! "

[𝐘𝐨𝐑𝐇𝐚 𝚗𝚘.𝟿 𝚄𝚗𝚒𝚝 𝚂 @9SVer48]

" Woah . . You're like a berserker from the old stories! "

A very strange connection, but she was entering some sort of battle fury! And 'sucking dick' was some sort of slang . . noting that down mentally.

9S groans as he sees several more approaching, he calls out, +

[𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐌𝐁 ᥫ᭡ @SANROMEROKNlGHT]

❝ Nuh uh!! They suck 𝘴𝘰 much dick!! Total, ngh— goddamn robot BITCHES!! ❞

As she roared out the last word Juliet produced a pair of bright yellow pom poms, proceeding to slam them down atop an approaching robots head. The blow left her foe feeling long enough for the amped +

arm towards it, as his pod unleashes an array of missiles towards its rusted body, decimating it.

[𝐘𝐨𝐑𝐇𝐚 𝚗𝚘.𝟿 𝚄𝚗𝚒𝚝 𝚂 @9SVer48]

9S takes steps away from a whirlwinding psycho bot three times his size, giving a bit of a flabbergasted expression to the cheerleader.

" Sucks d- I don't think that's something you have to worry about them doing! "

Turning his attention back to the bot, he outstretches his +

[𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐌𝐁 ᥫ᭡ @SANROMEROKNlGHT]

Fascinated, she watched him and his adorable little floating box buddy take on a few of the larger bots as another swarm of stubbys tottered toward her— only to pivot around, swinging her whirring saw in a silver arc to bisect the lot.

❝ Ugh, well they suck dick either way!! ❞

[𝐘𝐨𝐑𝐇𝐚 𝚗𝚘.𝟿 𝚄𝚗𝚒𝚝 𝚂 @9SVer48]

With a grunt, Nines plants his blade into the metal 'skull' of the robot, ensuring the lights in its eyes go out. His Pod supplying covering fire against the few bots that are approaching.

" We don't know a lot, but they just like killing humans, like it's in their code. "

[𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐌𝐁 ᥫ᭡ @SANROMEROKNlGHT]

Kicking one of the dented in orbs that had mere moments ago been a killer robots head (before she'd sunk her chainsaw blade into it) over to @9SVer48.

❝ So, like, what's the deal with these little freaky guys? Did'ja do something to piss them off or what? ❞

@daszweitekind he starts tapping on the keyboard, until images of the two pop up on screen

Ninth Child: 78% sync rate

" Hah! See, told you. Read it and weep."

@daszweitekind " Oh c'mon Asuka, no one will find out. Unless... "

He gives a sly smile, a giving her a piercing gaze from beneath his visor,

" Unless you're scared you'll lose. "

[𝐘𝐨𝐑𝐇𝐚 𝚗𝚘.𝟿 𝚄𝚗𝚒𝚝 𝚂 @9SVer48]

@daszweitekind " yeah? wanna put a bet on it? "

he steps over to a nearby nerv monitor, casually tapping in a password he shouldn't have.

" I have our sync results. if mines better than yours... you have to do whatever I want for a day. "

[𝐘𝐨𝐑𝐇𝐚 𝚗𝚘.𝟿 𝚄𝚗𝚒𝚝 𝚂 @9SVer48]

@daszweitekind " well you did seem to struggle more. "

9S, being an android did seem to have naturally high sync rates.

[𝐘𝐨𝐑𝐇𝐚 𝚗𝚘.𝟿 𝚄𝚗𝚒𝚝 𝚂 @9SVer48]

@daszweitekind her fellow pilot is doing the same, his plug suit drenched in sweat.

" phew... these sync tests are no joke. "

[𝐘𝐨𝐑𝐇𝐚 𝚗𝚘.𝟿 𝚄𝚗𝚒𝚝 𝚂 @9SVer48]

Giving an order to his companion pod 042, it scans the reader.

What would it find?

" Are you speaking from personal experience? "

Those words came out faster than he could process them. Oddly human in this fascination.

" Or . . Are you just trying to scare me off? "

[𝓐𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐈𝐃 𝟐𝟐 @ANDROlD22]

"No."

He's not even bothering to enter her 2FA or even a passcode. Not like she knows it or would tell him.

"You would give yourself a virus. An old virus."
