tune

Hiro sighed walking along. “ you okay up there bax?”

Bax flashed once, still comfortably perched on Hiro’s shoulder. It scanned everything they passed, still performing its guard duties while also seeming curious about the world.

Malcolm glanced over, a small smile breifly appearing.

Hiro kept his conversation going with bax, talking about random things.

Bax listened contentedly, answering any questions as best it could.

Malcolm listened as well, a pang of loneliness hitting him. He quietly sighed, annoyed by the sensation but also genuinely melancholy. He didn’t know what to do, and this whole situation kept reminding him of the many bright opportunities he had lost when he had nearly been killed by that long ago explosion.

Hiro sighs " I know buddy, I know.." he said in understanding to the bot. Hiros spine was glowing the same blue as the nanobot now. He'd made a connection between the bot and him

(Damn it! You beat me to the punch with the connection, lmao!)

Bax flashed, acknowledging Hiro’s words while also seeming happy about the connection. It scanned the landscape, then sent the details to Hiro, the image describing the materials and other things around the area with great detail. Bax seemed almost giddy that it could share the information.

Malcolm glanced over, his eyes widening at the sight of Hiro’s spine, and of Bax’s reaction. Hiro had picked up the spy nanobot ability to link with other machines! And Bax was accepting it, even though it wasn’t necessarily built for that sort of connection!

Hiro looked around " woah bud, that's cool. Can you see prey or predator too?"

Bax flashed once, then sent an image of the scan it had done of the big cat from earlier, just before it leaped at Hiro. It described several details about the cat, including that it was a predator.

Malcolm continued to watch the pair, stunned, and a bit excited at the discovery of their connection. He was definitely going to study both of them later, to see if he could replicate the effect, and maybe bring about a new generation of nanobots.

Hiro nodded and looked ahead " good boy," he said.. " Bax scan that building "

Bax scanned the indicated building, sending the image. It described various details about the construction of the building, though it couldn’t see inside except for where any large holes or cracks were.

" good boy, were here. Welcome to alecorp" he said and walked to the building

Bax flashed a few times in happy celebration that it could help.

Malcolm hummed, then burst into rasping laughter at the name.

“Alecorp? We came to pillage a warehouse from that son of a bitch corporation? Fuck me, that’s fucking hysterical!”

" do you want the material?" He asked

Malcolm laughed a bit longer before looking at Hiro.

“Of course! Fuck those bastards!”

He then headed for the building, looking for an entrance.

hiro rolled his eyes, he went to the side of the building and bended to wall open

Malcolm noticed Hiro open the wall and sighed. He then walked over to him.

“Show-off,”he snorted, amusement in his tone.

He walked through, immediately beginning to appraise anything and everything.

“Fuck, I need to build a big ass container. There’s so much fucking material here,”Malcolm commented, a wicked grin on his face.

" i can try," he said and looked around for any steel or something stronger

Malcolm shrugged, roaming as he searched for all the materials he’d need for his injection formula, even his newer version of it.

Bax climbed down and wandered, scanning the area like its companions. Though, unlike them, it continued to communicate with Hiro, helping him find steel.

" thanks bub," he said and bent the metal into a canister, hiro and bax wondered around for needed supplies

Bax flashed once as a ‘You’re welcome’. He then followed Hiro, helping him whenever needed.

Malcolm continued to roam, eventually finding a stash of one of the materials he needed for the injections. He immediately started gathering as much of it as he could. The six bots helped him.

hiro gathered prestigious metals along with alloys

Malcolm found a crate and carefully put the materials in it. The bots carried the crate, seeming unfazed by the weight as Malcolm wandered and grabbed more things. He mainly stuck to metals and other supplies that he was running low on, but he also grabbed anything of interest that he saw.
