“Devan,” Elide called out, “Can you pass me a wrench?” She asked, “Mine’s missing.”

After quite a bit of exploration, Audrey found herself inside the local mall. Being the young and naive android she was, Audrey found herself approaching a stranger in hopes that they knew the location of Jericho.

Devan snapped out of his daze and picked up a small rusting wrench from the cold floor. He tossed it over to Elide. "What do you need it for?"

Nyx looked down at the girl who tugged at her sleeve. Bright green hazel eyes and blonde pigtails, she saw the LED on the side of her head. "I'm sorry, can you repeat the question." Nyx's eyes darted from the girl to Kaleb them to the people in the crowd.

(I hope this is alright Wrixle)

“This.. part… won’t… got it!” She held up a little metal sphere, “This ones memory device is still intact, if we wipe it then someone could have it if needed.”

(yea its fine)

"Oh, sorry…" Audrey said, speaking slightly louder, "I was just wondering if you could point me in the direction of Jericho?"

"We don't want them to be sold again, we want to be free." Devan muttered.

Elide was silent and continued her work, not wanted to upset Devan any more.

Devan sighed, sitting down on a rickety wooden chair near Elide. He stared at the wall across the room, observing the RA9 writing once more.

“What does that even mean?” Elide asked, quietly.

"Apparently RA9 is some Android that was the first to become Deviant." Devan responded, not turning his focus from the wall. "Deviants worship him."

“Do you.. worship him I mean?” Elide sat up and looked at the writing Devan was looking at.

"Not really." He said simply. (Ahh I have to go for now)

“Oh, okay.” She sat back down and began work again.
(Aww, okie, see ya later!)

"I afraid I don't know a Jericho, is he a family member or a friend?" Nyx asked

"Uh, no… It's a place. From what I've heard at least. S-sorry for troubling you." Audrey said, turning to leave. Perhaps Jericho didn't exist after all.

"Wait," Nyx put a hand on the girls solder, "Do you have a place to stay?"

RA9 was all he could think about. Devan hadn't yet experienced whatever voices the other Deviants heard; the ones that told them about their supposed savior. For some reason, he couldn't stop thinking about RA9, though. Maybe it was the hope of being free that made it linger in his mind.

Elide could sense he was thinking about freedom, that was what all the conversations mainly led to, “You’ll be free one day, Devan. You just have to be patient.”

"I can be many things, and patient is not one of them. Jericho is slowly dying, and Deviants are too." Devan reminded her.

“I know. We’re trying our best but what more can we do? We barely have enough parts to fix the Deviants that we find, resulting in more deaths. With every part we steal, security increases making it even harder.”

Devan sighed. "We could break into one of the warehouses where they store extra parts and blue blood (the 'blood' in Androids), but it would be extremely risky. There's no doubt that we'd loose a few of us on the way. There aren't enough of us in Jericho to risk loosing…well…anyone."

“We need to find more Deviants before risking something like that. I could go in by myself to get some of the blue blood but those extra parts, I’m not strong enough to do that by myself so we’ll have to wait a little longer.” She pulled her goggles of, soot and oil on her face and arms but Elide didn’t care.

"None of us will ever do anything alone. We're a team." Devan stated as he stood up, brushing off his pants. "We will defiantly need others before starting something. Either we wait, or we search."
