I think we should just let you work. We can go around town, check the place out?

Hinata and the group approach the building.
Well, I guess we're here...

"Very well. (If they find his 2nd mod, I'm going to have to intervene.)" Basil follows the fox droids in caution. Dale on the other hand, tries to recall what happened.

"I guess we are. Shall we go in?"

~~~@~~~
The doctor takes hold of Noah's bed and wheels him out, beeping monitors and all. Ten minutes later he returns, again pushing Noah's bed but now it's slightly damp around Noah's pillow. The doctor replaces the pillow with a clean, dry one and then turns to James.
"All done. He should wake up in a couple of minutes. No harm done."

Hinata walks into the building and stands outside of the reception desk.
So... Do you guys want to come to the back, or walk around? Oh, the spares are back here! Follow me! Lilly opens the closet door and walks into the room Hinata and Kelly had previously been in.
Hinata follows behind the otter, careful not to get stuck in the door.

The vixen looks around for the vet.
Hey, where is the vet? We have a guy who needs to go in quarantine. the vixen tells the receptionist nurse.

He looks so cute when he sleep drools. James chuckled upon seeing Noah's sleeping and yes, drooling, body. He'd slap me if he heard say that while he's awake. He's such a stinker like that.

hypernovatic wrote:"Oh, okay." Dust said, both happy and sad. "My name is Dust." he replied.

"Hiya, nice to meet ya, Dust!" Ashe smiled.

MrNeonShot wrote:I'm glad we saved Ashe, but what about Wealthy? Rosie asked.

hypernovatic wrote:"Oh no. I totally forgot about him!" Dust exclaimed.

"Oh my, yeah, we forgot about him!" the cat exclaimed. She started acting all agitated again. "Let's go back to the apartment, he must be waiting for us!"

MrNeonShot wrote:Who is Wealthy? Orion asked.

"The AI that Annette here was saving," John quipped from behind everyone. Even he was starting to get agitated like his daughter, but for different reasons. He felt naked and vulnerable, which was strange considering that he was technically 'naked' all the time in his original forme. Silently, he transformed back to his alien self, sans limbs and tail, looking very much like a pink rubber ducky, a relieved pink rubber ducky.

Esper wrote:Annette stood, "Wealthy is being sustained, my terminal is keeping his code from deteriorating." she assured the group, "But it may be slow going. I'm going to head back, You can come too if you promise not to be so loud."

MrNeonShot wrote:I think we should just let you work. We can go around town, check the place out?

Ashe was about to protest, wanting to stay back and welcome Wealthy back, but something nagged behind her mind. She really couldn't say what it was, but she felt she too need to give the programmer some space.
"... alright. It's for the best," she said, weirdly sounding detached. Looking at Rosie, she asked, "Where do you wanna go, Rosie?" Oddly again, by the time she said 'go', her disjointed voice became animated again, and returned to normal.

Esper wrote:Caeruleus sat stiffly in Ashe's grip, carefully analyzing her actions, "Cute...?" was his first word

"Yeah, you're a cutie, little mouse!" Ashe giggled in response in the meantime.

"i sUPPOSE wE nEED tO gET gOING tOO, aVERY'S dAD iS wAITING," John said. He noticed Ashe's weird behaviour, but didn't say anything about it. "hAS tHE tAXi aRRIVED yET, oRION?"

"Oh..." Caeruleus logged that information and resumed his silence

"Hey, take him with you, would ya? I don't want to risk plugging him back into your friend's code, especially while his own code is still soft and learning" Annette said

Avery's tail swished at the mention of his dad, but said nothing else. He was satisfied with the conclusion to the dramatic experience they had all endured and now that he had nothing else to say on the matter, he resumed being his usual quiet self.

"Heh. I think probably everyone becomes cuter when they sleep... Just so you know, what we've just done is to put a special sort of tube down his throat and pump water into his stomach which then pushes the skittles back up through the tube and into a bucket. Prettiest vomit I've ever seen with all those colours." Bill chuckles. "He might complain of a slightly sore throat when he wakes but that's better than him undoing all our hard work by putting pressure from food on his guts."

Hinata follows behind the otter, careful not to get stuck in the door.

Kelly walks through with Hinata and Todd hesitates for a moment before following.
"Nice place you got here." he comments drily, looking up at the high lobby roof before he enters the room behind the other droids.
"Will your bos have gone, Lilly? Will he mind us being here and using the parts?"

Legotron123 · Post by **Legotron123** » Sun Feb 16, 2014 9:00 am

Never thought I'd hear someone call vomit cute. James said. Also, when he wakes up, how long until the painkillers wear off?

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sun Feb 16, 2014 4:18 pm

Orion turned around to look back towards the house, then saw that they were a long way away from the house.
By now, we could just walk to wherever we were going. Orion said.
---
Umm... My boss is busy with the ARGO people. But we can ask Eric about the parts... Lilly looked around the locker room for the other droid, then heard him entering the room. His own hand was detached from his arm in a very grotesque way, and if he could feel the pain, would probably be screaming right about now.
Hey, guys!
What happened to your arm? Hinata asked.
Crowd control... I've gotta get the spare arm. Eric walked over to a locker and opened it, showing rows of arms titled "male OA arms."
Do we have any spares to replace the jaw?

"Well we're still giving him the painkillers and I think we'll keep doing that for tonight but tomorrow morning we'll take him off them and see how he goes. They should last a good few hours though. And I said pretty, not cute. All the colours made a nice change from carrot chunks." Bill jokes.

~~@~~@~~
"Do you go through a lot of arms?" enquires Todd.
"Who is ARGO?" asks Kelly

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Mon Feb 17, 2014 5:20 pm

Surprisingly, no. These arms are for each male otter here at Atlas. I've just got to use mine now. Eric un-soldered his arm's wires, and then begins to align his new arm to match the old wires.
ARGO is where we're from! All of us droids. They created the first ani-droids. Coding, programming, testing. Everything we are came from ARGO.
They came to ask about the Moon base's terrorist attack, and if it would prohibit them from [blank file].

I don't see why it's a problem. Rosie replied.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Feb 17, 2014 7:17 pm

"Blank file? I think we might need higher security clearance for you to tell us about that one." observes Kelly.
"You know, it was Apollo who originally commissioned me..." Todd points out, looking around. "So do you have spare jaws or not?"

~~@@@~~
"Quarantine?" asks the nurse on duty. "You'd best tell me what happened and what you need."

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Mon Feb 17, 2014 11:02 pm

The pet on the table lost control of his modification. We aren't sure if it'll lose control again. the vixen replied.
---
Well, we have to look first. Lilly replied as she began searching the lockers.
Hinata watched as Eric worked on repairing himself.
He's so precise and careful! Hinata whispered to Kelly.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Feb 18, 2014 6:34 am

"Right. We'll need the isolation ward then. I'll just make sure it's clear." The nurse taps at her keyboard and then sends a note to Bill's pager.
"Alright. Bring him straight through. Bill will meet us there. Is he contagious at all or just dangerous? What are his injuries and vitals?" The nurse hurries them through the corridors and then into a special ward with steel walls and a special door that looks like it belongs on a submarine.

~@@~@@~
Bill jumps slightly as the pager on his belt vibrates. Checking it, he turns to James. "I'm sorry. An emergency has come in so I have to go and deal with that. I'll be back to check on you as soon as I can. If you need anything then just press that button and the nurse will come to help." With that, Bill hurries downstairs.

~@@~@@~
"Well, he is a droid after all..." Kelly points out.
Todd watches silently as Lilly searches.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Thu Feb 20, 2014 4:19 pm

I guess he's like any other pet-sicle. Cold, and trying to re-heat him. He may have a small case of hypothermia. the vixen replied.
The other guy behind me, his vision blacked out when he got out of the building. You can read what happened in the automatic reports that my counterpart sends.
---
Hinata just went back to gooing over the male repairing his arm.

Todd, would you mind checking the closet next to me? Lilly asked.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Feb 20, 2014 10:14 pm

Todd opens the closet and quickly shuts it again. Were it possible for a droid to look or feel embarrassed, he would be now. "That would be undergarments..." he observes awkwardly.
"I think you like him, don't you?" Kelly whispers to Hinata.

~~~@~~~
The nurse taps the keypad next to the door and then spins the wheel set in the centre to open it. "Bring him through here. Is the one who blacked out coming in too?" The sparse room contains all that might be needed for controlling a pet who's lost control of their modifications, all though much of it is hidden. The ceiling panels cover robotic arms equipped with a range of medical tools. Cameras are hidden in various places around the room. A single hospital bed lies in the centre of the room. The bed has concealed restraints built into the side that at a touch of a button would firmly restrain any pet therein, no matter their powers.
"Put him in the bed. What's his TPR?" Bill enters behind the foxes.
"My thoughts exactly. Give me a rundown of what's happened."

Ashe didn't really understand what Miss Annette was talking about, codes and being soft, but she guessed that Caeruleus has the mind of a baby. Which made him that much cuter!

"Right, Cae dear, jump on to Dust's paws over there, c'mon," she said in that tone someone always seemed to use when speaking to infants, as she connected her outstretched paws with the other cat's.

The now alien buzzed, "rIGHT, i sUPPOSE aLL oF uS wILL bE gOING--" He looked at Orion "--eSPECIALLY sINCE iT'S nOT tOO fAR aWAY, aCCORDING tO oRION hERE. aNNETTE, wE'LL lEAVE eVERYTHING tO yOU," he finished, nodding at her.

"pLEASE lEAD tHE wAY tHEN, oRION," John gestured.

"It's like a travelling party, cool!" Ashe quipped.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Fri Feb 21, 2014 6:21 pm

The blind one is fine, but he has similar modifications to the pet here. He'll need police surveillance.The vixen replied. Then she locked eyes with her counterpart, reading his thoughts about the report out loud, reading off anything the vets might need.
---
I like his body... I don't really know him, though. Hinata replied.

Thats probably spare psuedo skin. We don't wear undergarments. Lilly replied. Then, she immediately blushed.
I mean-- uh... Then she blushed again.
---
Orion stared blankly at the group, then picked up the phone again. This time, a limozene showed up almost immediately.
We won't need to walk now. he said before climbing in.

Esper · Post by **Esper** » Fri Feb 21, 2014 11:08 pm

Annette said her goodbyes quickly and hurried back to her messy apartment

The rat droid nimbly zipped up onto Ashe's shoulder, his processor whirring in the cat's ear as he silently processed all of his sensory data

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 10:32 pm

"It's OK. I know what you mean." Todd laughs. "Shall I try a different cupboard and leave this one for you?"
"There are other droids I prefer." says Kelly, hoping that Hinata wouldn't catch her surreptitious glance at Todd.

~~@~~~@~~
Bill listens intently to the droids as he thoroughly checks over Dale. His findings correlate with the story woven by the medics. Bill's first priority is to warm Dale up so he covers the cy-pet in a special blanket. Pulling the attached toggle causes the blanket to inflate with warm gasses. Bill also switches on the electric blanket under the pet and sticks an IV with warm fluids into his arm. Noting some small patches of mild frostbite, he cleans and dresses the wounds and then writes everything on the charts.
"I'll need to have my specialist look at the mods to see if he can figure out how and why they went haywire. Everything in his body seems normal enough so I don't think it was anything to do with him directly - rather it was the mods themselves."

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sun Feb 23, 2014 12:17 am

Eric coughs.
That's the male psuedo skin. he cuts in. The only thing you should be embarrassed about is what you see underneath the skin. Eric explained.
Lilly grinned and went to open the door.
That doesn't mean you get to look! he said as he closed the locker again.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Feb 23, 2014 12:34 am

"I didn't look that closely. Do you know where the spare jaws are for Lilly, sir?" asks Todd, still being unaware of Eric's name or status.

"wOW, tHAT wAS fAST," John said. He was impressed; what was Orion working as again? For the life of him, he couldn't remember.

Ashe was nonchalant, though she was a little sad they couldn't enjoy a slow walk together. Not minding the whirring sounds Caeruleus was making, she walked slowly and entered the limousine next to Orion.

"iN aNY cASE, cOME iN eVERYONE!" the alien beckoned to the rest.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sun Feb 23, 2014 1:47 am

Orion blinked at the cat sitting next to him, then smiled. Rosie slid in next to Ashe.
I normally take cabs because I like being around living things. Our drivers are...
the driver looked back to reveal she was a standard Atlas ani-droid.
*Okay, guys, if you will buckle up, refreshments are in the cooler to your left.* She said in an animated way.

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Sun Feb 23, 2014 10:52 am

"That was fast." Dust agreed, getting in the limousine. He buckled up and looked out the window.

Legotron123 · Post by **Legotron123** » Sun Feb 23, 2014 1:22 pm

Sorry, I meant to say pretty, my tongue tends to slip sometime. James said before bill had to leave. Have a good day! He turned to rock and tried to think of something to talk about while they waited for Noah to wake up. So...... What's it like, fixing a lot of cypets? I bet you've seen a bunch of cool mods.

Roarin · Post by **Roarin** » Sun Feb 23, 2014 9:32 pm

Avery too was surprised by how quickly the limo had arrived and after most of the other pets had piled in, he himself entered the fancy car, taking an empty seat next to Dust.

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Mon Feb 24, 2014 1:37 am

John floated into the limousine himself, using his beak to close the door. He settled in next to Avery; the luxury car was large, and that was an understatement!

Ashe didn't mind the animated Ani-droid driver. In fact, she said "Okay, sir!" in a sing-song voice, buckling up. She looked at the rat on her shoulder, and said, "Cae, you might want to sit on my lap, it'll be dangerous if you fall over when the car stops. You too Rosie. Ehh, I mean buckle up, not sit on my lap or anything!" A blush crept on her face.

The alien however was having problem trying to buckle up, having no arms. "aVERY, cAN yOU hELP mE?" he buzzed.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Mon Feb 24, 2014 2:00 am

Rosie blushed, too, and decided to busy herself by buckling John into his seat.
There you go!
*Don't worry about accidents. I have state of the art driving programs installed for when we need to drive, but we'll be flying. Buckle up if you want, but make sure your rumps are on the seat!* the ani-droid instructed.

Roarin · Post by **Roarin** » Mon Feb 24, 2014 10:08 am

Avery was about to assist when he saw Rosie take care of the situation. Looking over at the alien he gave small smirk and a shrug, buckling himself in.
"So... Your arms are going to grow back, right Mr. Smith?". The dog asked, a touch worried. He couldn't even imagine being stuck without using both of his ar-

He quickly discarded that thought.

If Kelly was trying to hide something from Hinata, it was virtually impossible, do to her perception and prediction software.

John was surprised as the fox droid fixed him up in his seat, but didn't really protest it. He smirked back at Avery, though with a head rooster towards the left.

He caught the white dog's hesitation in his question. "dON'T tHINK tOO mUCH aBOUT iT aVERY," he started, not saying anything about Avery's physique. "nO oNE kNOWS. aBOUT yOUR qUESTION, yES, mY aRMS wILL gROW bACK eVENTUALLY, mAYBE iN a fEW hOURS. mY lIFE eNERGY iS cU--" he stopped himself. "i mEAN, yEAH, i'LL bE fINE, sO nO wORRIES."

Ashe was not paying attention to the conversation, focused as she was on the cute rat. "No probs, Cae! I'll take care of you! I mean, we'll all take care of you, right everyone?" She looked at Orion, then Rosie and Dust.

When the driver announced that they would be flying, she tilted her head in confusion. "What do you mean, flying? Aren't we in a car, on the ground?"

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Tue Feb 25, 2014 1:09 am

Orion hadn't caught the glance from Ashe, and was busy looking out the window. Rosie, on the other paw, nodded in agreement.
* This is a hover car, ma'am. Keep the windows rolled up, and hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times.* The otter, once everyone was in the car, began to float off the ground, then flew tnrough the sky.
