Zero listened intently at the man as he spoke of the woman, yearning to be reunited with his beloved fiance. Such concept was beyond him. Zero could not fathom the attraction mortals felt for one another; perhaps one of the reasons why he was deemed untrustworthy by all he met. As it turned out, he did not detect any indication of deceit from the man. He answered openly with true desire to hear of the person he searched for. Could it have been a coincidence after all? The man did not seem to recognize Zero. AEVA seemed to have been able to peek at the android's true form, while the human still remembers the visage of a feminine foe in place of Zero. He had thought the AI might have informed the human, but -as it stands- their presence in Alpha Prime was a complete coincidence; result of a missing fiance.
"I'm afraid not," he responded. "I have not yet met a Caballye, nor have I heard of this Roxsenne Roye... You said your search has led you here. May I inquire? Where have you searched, and what led you to believe she might be here? Perhaps there are clues that lie within."

"Well..." He started to say to answer Zeros question, "I just got here very recently, so I havent had alotta time to look everywhere. I have just been asking around here, since it seems like alot of people come and go through here."
It was then a small child came out of the crowd and seemingly snuck up behind Brandon, reaching for his wallet. "Brandon, Throw your right elbow back. You got a theif trying to pick your pocket." He heard Verlith say, and threw his elbow backwards, catching the would-be thief in the side of the head, making him fall backwards. Looking behind him, he glared at the child and said "Get a job kid. Much more rewarding then stealing. Believe me." as he looked back to Zero.
"And it was AEVA who tracked her ships path to here. She seems extremely adept at hacking and tracking. Like she was made for it... Id have to do more study of her program when I get back to Earth..." He said, trying to figure out how AEVA was so skilled at so many things. "Though shes been around for a long time... I dated parts of her program to be over 400 years old atleast... Some parts are older... Her corrupted data seems to be over 500 years old..."

Zero's scouter detected the presence of the child, however, he did not pay any mind to him. The citizens of Alpha Prime were relatively harmless, despite intent, compared to individuals like themselves. He deserved getting knocked back by the human, Zero might have done the same himself. The boy rubs his swollen face and retreats into the crowd. Zero thought the man's words interesting, such alluded that the human used to steal and was sanctioned accordingly. The man turned to speak with Zero and the android listened without paying any mind to the incident. Alpha Prime, like the other areas of the Collective were swamped with delinquency and malcontents, that child would not be the first to attempt such a thing.
Returning to the subject, Zero learned of yet greater qualities bestowed upon AEVA. She was quite resourceful, possessing the core of her programming at a remote planet yet capable of transcending her influence beyond the stars. The fact that she tracked Roxsenne Roye's ship to Alpha Prime meant they could no longer deny she had visited the Collective. "If that is the case, I fear for the worst," he said. "As you may have already discerned from your short visit, The Omega Collective is brimming with delinquency. It is certainly no place for a princess. If your leads end here, then I fear she is no longer among us." Zero paused to observe the human. Nobody wanted to hear the person they searched for had perished. Zero did not have any proof, and perhaps he was wrong, but the evidence suggested otherwise. It was likely the human, like any other emotional creature, would burst out in anger and accuse him of blasphemy.
Whether or not the human burst with emotion, Zero would remain unfazed and pose a follow up question. "Do you know why Ms. Roye would travel to the Collective? Perhaps, if we knew her intentions, we could identify her most probable location. If she is here, I'm sure you'd find her ship docked in the spaceport."

As Brandon listened to Zero, His final words hit a bad spot with Brandon, as he burst out "DONT YOU FUCKIN SAY THAT! EVER! OR ILL CUT YOU IN TWO!" He yelled, as his aura flared up with an intense ferocity.
He clenched his fist in anger. "No, I dont know why she would come here! Its not like I could of read her mind or something!" He said as he started to calm down.
Taking deep breaths, Brandon tried to think of why she would come here. Then an idea hit him, as he asked the red android "Maybe she came here to meet someone? Where would be a good place to meet someone?"

Authority figures turned to gaze at the individual who had caused such a ruckus. Alpha Prime was an unruly place, but even the deepest pits of the universe required some form of regulation. Most importantly, this was the center of Alpha Prime's thriving society with merchants from all around the universe enriching their culture and pockets. Lord Zex would not allow such productivity to be thawed by the efforts of radicals; thus, the necessity of stationed officials. Zero shook his head, the human's emotions were starting to cloud his judgement. "People don't come to Alpha Prime in search of friends," he explained. "If Ms. Roye came for such a purpose, I would question her sanctity. The Collective is where criminals, terrorists, and malcontents gather. If your fiance would seek the company of their likes, she may have been one herself."
Model Zero maneuvered deeper into the crowd, leading the human away from prying eyes. "Now, human, follow me to the space port. Alpha Prime monitors everyone and anything that comes in and out of the Collective. If anyone knew of her, it must be there. Tell me more about Ms. Roye. How does she look? How long ago did AEVA track her ship here?"

"She was an outcast. Friends were too few in number, It was likely she came her to meet a contact to exchange information." He said, as he followed Zero back into the space port where he, Summers and Aeva were swarmed before when they first arrived.
"I have a picture of her, here." He said after Zero asked what she looked like. So Brandon took out the picture of a lovely young woman with long black hair, wearing a strange silver and blue armour that almost looked like a dress, as well as wielding a large sword. The outfit alone would tell anyone that she was important in a few ways.
He handed Zero the picture, as he also said "Aeva tracked her trajectory here a few days ago. The trail is almost a month old, but Shes good at tracking as I had mentioned before." as he hoped that Zero had some sort of information on Roxsenne. He wanted to show her that he was powerful enough to destroy her uncle now, and would be able to retake the throne from him. IF he couldnt find her, He would of been very heartbroken, so all of his hopes and dreams rested on this android he was now following...

Zero glanced at the picture. It was confirmed, he had never laid eyes upon the woman the man searched, however he was surprised at her true identity. The human described her as a princess, but the photo implied she was a warrior. The fact that AEVA's data of the woman's location were so dated lowered their chances of finding the woman. In a month's time, a lot can happen; one could visit dozens of planets in that timespan, Zero was almost certain she would no longer be on Alpha Prime -but if that were the case, why had AEVA not picked up the signal?
The two approached the space port. Numerous ships were docked on the anchors of Alpha Prime. Men and women board their vessels, preparing to leave while others awaited for a spot to open, granting them a spot to park and entrance to the city. The space port was always active with people coming in and out of the Collective; with a place as mischievous as theirs, they had reason to track everyone he entered and left the confines of their asteroid. There were many wanted criminals from across the universe gathered in the luxurious compounds of Alpha Prime, some of them more than others. If an authority figure from the outside came in search of one such as they, information of their whereabouts would be offered at an affordable but hefty price.
Zero neared an icejin guard, stationed at the docking boards. "I am an agent of Lord Prometheus Zex, we are in search of a young woman that goes by the name of Roxsenne Roye. She docked on Alpha Prime about a month ago before we lost contact, have you heard of her?"
Model Zero presents Ms. Roye's picture to the man. The icejin guard scratched his head, although she was memorable, he could not recall her visage but offered to check their records. That is, when an old man creeped up on them.
"Did you say Roxsenne Roye?" he inquired. Zero turned to the man. He was a saiyan, noted by the appendage twirling anxiously behind him, as white as the beard he wore. The android offered him the picture and the man's eyes brightened. "Ah, yes, I was doubtful, but an old man like me couldn't forget a face like hers."
"So you've heard of her?" Zero inferred.
The saiyan closed his eyes and scratched his head. "Oh, I'm afraid my memory fails me. You know... life isn't as it used to be..."
Zero looked to the human and nodded. If Brandon wanted to learn of his fiance's whereabouts, he would have to offer the old merchant zeni as reward. The android would not waste his on the human's cause, especially for one he was still suspicious of. Once Brandon forks over the cash, the old man's mouth would sing.
"Ah, yes, my memory's coming back to me now... She had approached me with various capsules in hand. If my memory serves right, it was a gravity chamber, a simulator, and training weights. They were official Capsule Corp. items too, quite valuable! She told me she was preparing for an expensive space flight. She was going to... Uhm..." the old man glances at the human's pocket. Zero looks at Brandon and nods. If he wanted the rest of the information, the human would have to fork over additional zeni, it was simply the way Alpha Prime works. They were vultures with good cause. Once Brandon concedes, the old man would continue his tale.
"Castelle," he finally said. It was a place unfamiliar to Zero, but perhaps it held some meaning to the human; however, what the saiyan said next was of interest to the android. "It's a planet in the Vatican System. Don't tell me she's gone missing? I warned her not to go. Castelle is infested with deadly demons!"
Zero lowered his gaze. It seemed this was the extent of the saiyan's knowledge, and it was enough to form conclusions upon. The android thanked him and dismissed the man so he may speak with the human away from stretched ears. "According to what that merchant said, it appears that Ms. Roye came to prepare for his flight. The reason AEVA lost track of her is probably because Roxsenne bought a new ship from Alpha Prime. Regardless, I fear your search ends here. About a month ago, like Ms. Roye, a crew had ventured into the Vatican System and my master lost contact promptly after. He sent another team, I within it, to recovery the lost crew and bring them back to Alpha Prime. However, we soon learned the Vatican System was the base of an infamous organization dubbed The Universal Church of One. The crew which had been lost to us about a month ago had been struck down long before we arrived. We barely got out ourselves, losing two allies in the effort. I suggest you abandon your endeavors and forget about Ms. Roye. You have been chasing but a ghost, there is no doubt she has perished by the hand of the Church."
From the picture the human provided, Zero noted a sudden brilliance in her figure. Such implied the woman had the man's seed in fertility; going by his description, she was a Caballye -not a human. The Universal Church of One purged all of impurity; not just saiyans, but all who would cross-breed. If Roxsenne Roye ventured to the Vatican System, there was no doubt she would have been stricken down upon sight for carrying an impurity within her. The human would not receive Zero's news with calm mind. He was an emotional and predictable being, Zero could guess his actions quite readily.

Brandon grumbled as he forked over a ridiculous amount of Zenie to get information on his fiance.
It seemed that she had taken a new ship from Alpha prime, to a new system that Brandon had never heard of. But at the cost of the Zenie he forked over, He prayed that it was atleast reliable.
Letting out a sigh, "The Church of one eh? Demons? Sounds like a terrifying place... But if she went there... There has to be a chance she is still alive... Shes a crafty, resilient woman... Im going to go there, and bring her back... or Die trying. Death didnt stop me once, its not gonna stop me now" He said, as he figured a mortal weapon like his Kamacite Blade wouldnt be any good where he was going.
He reached back and took it off of his back, and looked at Zero. "I want to thank you for all your help... Take this. I wont be needing it anymore." He said, as he handed Zero his Kamacite Blade. But that wasnt the only thing that needed to be dealt with before he had left...
"When AEVA, Summers and your friend Ona come back.... I need you and Ona to look after AEVA and Summers. Such a place is too dangerous for a child, and an AI like AEVA. Please do this for me as a last favour." He said, as he looked back to the ship, his star striker, that would possibly take him to his death. He didnt know nothing about the UCOO, but if they wiped out Hybrids like his Fiance, He would be just as likely of a target as she was. Either way, He would be with her once again.
"If you ever stop by Earth, You will find AEVA's core under Mount Paozu. There is a Man made cavern approximitly 3 miles off the planets surface in the side of the mountain. Summers and AEVA can show you the way there, since that is where I was living..."

Die indeed, Zero thought. The human acted precisely as he had foreseen. His love for the woman would overcome any barrier that stood between their reunion and Zero had predicted the man foolish enough to chase after her shadow with the slim chance that she still lived. The wording, however, seemed a bit off. 'Death didn't stop me once, its not gonna stop me now.' Such a statement almost insinuated the human had died once before. Blasphemy. It was illogical beyond belief. If men could rise from the dead, it would be a wide-spread phenomenon known by all. Little did the skeptical android know, Brandon had done the impossible and returned from the depths of hell. The android wrenched the thought away and banished it from his mind, no longer dwelling in silly notions that hold no ground.
With all of Zero's knowledge of power and foresight, he would have never predicted that his unintended act of kindness would inspire such deep gratitude from a man he had just met. Only moments before, the android contemplated killing the human and burying his body under piles of lies and deceit. His intentions were not only to protect his master from breached security, but also to distance the human from AEVA and keep her for himself. In spite of his intentions, the android solved what would have been a life-long mystery and shed light on the whereabouts of the much loved Roxsenne Roye. Ironic, if anything. Now, the human offered the android his sword, a blade forged of kamacite; fact noted by the android upon closer inspection. It was a finely crafted blade.
As a bonus, the human entrusted AEVA to him, the very object of his desire. By helping the human, Zero had managed to obtain everything he sought for this evening by sending the human out in pursuit of certain death and possession over the Actual Intelligence program that had wandered into his domain. Ivan's identity and location would remain secured from foreign eyes, and Zero gained another ally from their encounter. Of course, the little girl was an unexpected outcome, but they would soon find use for her. Zero took the Kamacite Blade, symbol of an unlikely acquaintance and eternal gratefulness. He now possessed two new swords, one more than intended; Sebastian's Holy Sword and the human's Kamacite Blade. He then learned the location of AEVA's core. Mount Paozu. Three miles off the planet's surface in the side of a mountain. Earth. Recorded. The android would make sure to pay this Earth a visit. He had heard much of the planet, but he never had reason to visit it until now.
Zero smiled at the man. He had proven to be quite informative and therefore deserved some kind of emotional response from the android -even if it was a fake one. He would have never thought this encounter would have been so fruitful.
"I wish you luck in your endeavors, Brandon, and that you may be reunited with Ms. Roye."

"Thank you... Very much... Please make sure Summers doesnt get into trouble... She loves to eat though." He said as he turned made started to walk toward his ship. He stopped before he looked back to Zero.
"Maybe one day Ill see you again..." He said to the red android with a smile. He felt a bit sad that he was leaving poor Summers behind, but he had a feeling she was in good hands. He boarded his ship, and planted his butt down in the pilots chair and closed the hatch. His ship powered up and soon had left the station and sped off towards the Vatican system.
"Geeze, the Vatican system? Always thought those religious nuts on Earth would get their way. Fuck, they got their own star system now..... if Roxsenne is hurt, Im gonna rip people apart!" He said, as his ship would soon leave the sight of Alpha Prime....
...Never to be heard from again....

While the group had separated, Ona remained with the two females. Saying little herself the android took the time to observe the other two as they proceeded through the market. The creature known as Summers seems fascinated with many things, her eyes and hands drawn to all kinds of different bobbles and commodities as they strolled past stalls. On several occasions a bender swatted her hands away from touching something that was too valuable to be fondled freely. Curiosity seemed to dominate the females personality, desire beyond what Ona understood many cases as the things she took join in would be labeled as useless by the android. Food was one such enjoyment, the girl smelling almost everything she passed buy. At some points her mouth was visibly watering when a savory dish was near. As a machine Ona held no understanding of food for enjoyment. Sure she knew that most organic creatures required it for growth and life, yet there was a whole second concept of eating for one's enjoyment. Beyond fuel she thought the stuff useless, why waist zeni on something if it had no purpose but to satisfy fleeting desires?
AEVA on the other hand seemed more control, her eyes taking in the details if their surroundings as they walked, assessing everything they passed. How the two creatures got along so well was a mystery, their different origins and apparent desires far from complimentary to their relationship. Eyes on AEVA, Ona wanted the chance to study her in a laboratory setting, even disassemble her body so that she might see its inner workings. Perhaps the female could be acquired at a later date, after all none of the trio was overly powerful. Something to discuss with Model Zero and his masters.
When they finally circled around to meet up with Zero and Brandon, she knew the human had departed. For what reason though she did not yet know. Confusion seemed to dominate Summers and AEVA ' S reaction while the ex-cardinal looking to Zero with a slightly arches brow. With the question so obvious the gesture was hardly needed, but Ona wished to express her own curiosity.

(Oh, I thought you would've wanted to ask AEVA questions or something xP)
He didn't wave goodbye. The android stood where he had, watching silently as the human blissfully boarded his spaceship, preparing to venture into certain doom. There was a discreet disturbance within Zero; as if the named Brandon had been departing a bit too soon -or maybe it was related to the fact that he had willingly yet unintentionally led the human towards his very death. Usually, an android would not think twice about their actions, having already calculated and predetermined the most advantageous path. In fact, he had been contemplating taking the man's life himself as they strolled across the market. Perhaps when that child distracted him, or when they passed through that dark alley. However, Zero experienced something new with this man that he had yet to see in others. All he did was follow the clues at hand and, ironically, Zero solved the mystery of his fiance's disappearance; whether the information or source were true, it was unlikely Zero would ever find out. Despite this, despite the little he had offered, the man turned to gratitude and offered the android his sword -not only that, but he entrusted Summers and AEVA in his care. He even disclosed the location of AEVA's core on Earth. Such appreciation was foreign to the android. He was never thanked for his services, his help was always expected by those he knew. It was likely that Brandon's grateful nature influenced an unexpected reaction from the android.
Soon Brandon's ship faded into the void of space, heading towards the Vatican System. Alpha Prime itself would soon sail the stars and settle on Belegost's orbit, in six month's time, although by then Brandon will have either died or been reunited with his fiance, returning only to find an abandoned asteroid of the former Gamma Slums. His scouter beeped, alerting him of three energy signatures approaching from behind. He already knew who they were and turned to greet the three ladies that would now accompany him until time made them part. They all seemed understandably confused, except for AEVA whose mechanical body was yet unable to express emotion. On the other hand, Ona must have known this was the android's plan from the moment they set eyes upon AEVA. They must obtain the android no matter what cost, and although he had initially concocted a more violent method, he believed this was just as good. Summers above all seemed the most concerned with the absence of her guardian. His brows fringed, she surveys the area, yet there was no sight of him. If they looked closer, they would notice Zero was carrying another object. Before, he only possessed Sebastian's sword, having it wrapped in drapes after retrieving it from a merchant; now, Brandon's Kamacite Blade was in his other hand. Zero had obtained all he sought after this evening: two swords and another android. He would have liked to inspect the bracelet of Brandon's wrist, but that might have been a bit too ambitious for the android.
"W-where's Brandon?" little Summers inquired, breaking the silence and speaking the question that lingered in everyone's mind.
"Your friend has learned of his fiance's location and has set out in hopes of being reunited. The solar system he is venturing-" "-So he just left us!?" little Summers cried, cutting off the android's sentence before he could finish. Her eyes were swelled with tears, she tried holding them back, but they would soon overflow and drip down her young visage like razor blades. "Just like that?" her voice trembles. Young Summers charges the android and rams her little horns against his stomach. Zero remained still and closed his eyes. "Tell him to come back!" she said. "I miss him! Tell him to come back!" The android did not respond, even as she continuously slammed her fist against his chest and buried her face into his abdomen. Tears stream down her voice. Zero could not yet understand what caused creatures to act so irrational, however he had been around long enough to expect it and he also knew the outburst would pass with time. Summers would soon grow past her anger and sadness, and accept the reality she had come to.
Zero spoke in an effort to hasten that process and perhaps calm the girl down. "Brandon is going to a dangerous place. He only meant to protect you. Once he finds Roxsenne Roye, he will return for you," he explained, but despite anything he said, the girl kept punching his chest and crying, commanding Zero to bring Brandon back as if he were capable of magic of some sort.
He looked to AEVA, "You may all reside within my master's compound. He will assist with your maintenance from now on." The woman nodded sternly as Zero turned to Ona next.
"I think it's time I introduce you to him," he smiles. AEVA had no comments in the matter. If Brandon thought it was best for them to stay, then she would not mind as long as she had resources to maintain her body. If nobody had any further questions, the group would move towards Ivan's laboratory, where Zero would introduce all of them to him.
(If you want, we can continue the conversation here for any questions Ona may have, maybe she wants to learn more about AEVA before meeting Ivan? Otherwise, we can continue on this thread and have you meet him once and for all.)

Model Zero was quite efficient when it came to obtaining objects of his desire. Perhaps desire was the wrong word, interest more fitting considering that he was in fact an android. Brandon's sudden departure made little sense to Ona, such a hasty decision lacking in reason and proper research. Another flaw of organic races, following their emotions regardless of what logic might recommend and often with little thought into the consequences tied to such actions. She had no stake in the boy though, let him reunite with the individual he sought or let him burn up in a star...she didn't care. What she did care about was the fact Zero had invited them all back to his masters compound. No objections on her part, the ex-cardinal falls into step alongside her male counterpart part as they leave the market district.
As they walked Ona directed questions at the newest android of the group, AEVA a bit of a curiosity just like Model Zero. Statistically the chances of meeting two "androids," both of which not fitting your typical description of the classification, were slim at best. If Ona believed in powers greater than herself or fate in any fashion she might have saw a divine hand in this, yet a logical mind knew it was the aligning of many factors to one outcome. From a technical standpoint anything that happened in the Universe was as equally unlikely as the three androids meeting up the way they did. With limitless space and countless factors within itself, every event from the Universe's creation to its destruction was just as improbable. Even advanced creations like Ona could not predict such things, but she was well equipped to deal with them. Walking with the other three towards Model Zero's Master's compound, she questioned the newest android. A number of inquiries were made yet ultimately she learned no more than Zero himself had learned up to this point, the girl's history apparently locked away on planet Earth.
(I figured no sense to ask too much as most of the info about her has been revealed already, no sense in her repeating it for Ona now. Carry on to Ivan! ....didn't know androids were poets did yah?)

(lol)
The group arrived relatively fast as Zero took the usual route. He would often avoid being seen by the inhabitants of the Omega Collective and keep them guessing as to where he was actually going. His path was direct and fast. The android remained absent minded as Ona and AEVA indulged each other in conversation. He had already heard everything which was being discussed. Young Summers was lost in her own emotions, being a child, it would take some time for her to get over the shock of Brandon's departure and accept it as her new reality. She was now to live under the roof of scientists and machinery. Ivan's laboratory was, perhaps, the largest and most established they would find in all of Alpha Prime. He worked directly under Prometheus Zex himself, after all, with Model Zero as his greatest contribution. Many experiments took place within the walls, a scientific and curious mind like Ona's might wander off and lose herself in its intricacies. Because so many experiments take place, it was of utmost importance to make sure none of it leaked out and reached the general populace. A breach in the scientist's laboratory could be the most catastrophic outcome Alpha Prime could possibly face -that and, well, civil war.
As they approached the compound, large glass doors would slide open and lock them inside once everyone had entered. The group would soon be sprayed by all kinds of sterilizing chemicals and scanned from the inside out by a horizontal beam. The entire process took about five seconds before the second door opened and they were allowed inside. The laboratory was probably the cleanest place in all of Alpha Prime. Ona would never find anything as pristine as Ivan's labs, not even Zex's Manor would compare to the immaculate white chambers that formed his laboratory. The Doctor, a reptilian man with slit eyes and a slithering voice would escort them through the establishment. Nobody really knew his actual name, they always just referred to him as The Doctor. However, he was Ivan's right-hand man and closest friend. The Doctor was a nervous creature, frightened by the most subtle things. One must wonder how he and Ivan had come into acquaintance. He didn't speak much either. The lizard-like being smiled briefly to greet Zero, but the presence of two woman and a little girl made him quickly block out their existence and go on autopilot. Ivan would take care of it, he thought.
Autonomous robots would float from one place to the other, performing menial tasks such as sweeping, dusting, and general maintenance of the numerous terminals scattered throughout. They were nothing compared to the three androids. Those machines were plain and redundant. During Zero's first days of activation, he had attempted conversation with every single mechanized entity in the laboratory -even a toaster, until he gave up and realized they were not like him. The party walked through a narrow corridor, past various doors and making numerous turns. It would seem like a maze for those who just arrived, but they would soon learn it was all quite simple and accessible if they just follow the encoded signs. Summers would have to stay by another's side at all times until she was comfortable walking the paths on her own.
Finally, The Doctor stopped in front of a door which would momentarily open after detecting his presence. Inside, was a room so dark they could see nothing but sporadic sparks spurring at the center. There was a single man inside, wearing a welding helmet, heavily focused on the task at hand. The Doctor pressed his clenched fist against his nozzle and cleared his throat to grab the man's attention.
"MHRM!"
The welding stopped. Soon the lights and monitors turned on and brightened the dark room so everyone could see with clarity. In the largest monitor, centered in the room, there was what appeared to be a 3D blueprint model for some kind of arm. The man removed the welding helmet from his head. His short white hair flowed out of the helmet and gave way to a pair of sharp bicolored eyes; one hazel and the other blue. He was a humanoid lifeform, although the name of his race was unknown. His ethnicity was akin to a mutt in terms of genetics as there was no true single trace by which he could identify himself. The Doctor's tail swerved anxiously. Ivan hated being interrupted from important work, but this was important and the lizard-man trust his colleague would realize it once his eyes set on the group that gathered into his laboratory.
"Oh lord," he commented, noticing the android stood at the door of the chamber with a parcel, an unknown sword, two woman and a child with horns and a tail. "You've developed a packrat complex haven't you, Zero."
The android dropped to one knee and lowered his gaze to the ground, "Master," he said. In that moment, the android debriefed the man in everything that had ocurred during his venture to Belegost, the war they raged against the members of the Universal Church of One, Mement Mor's destructing, his fight with Ona and her former position within the organization, as well as how she ended up siding with them in the end. He then explained AEVA and young Summers. Ivan couldn't say much about the makaioshin, but he seemed pleased by the news he had recieved as a slight smirk crept over the corner of his lip.
"I've heard stories about the Church. To think I'd be graced with the presence of a Cardinal." Ivan walked up to the woman to inspect her closer. He would not have noticed her to be an android unless told otherwise. The markings on her arms, the way she was designed, it was all quite interesting and yet she had no idea of who her creator was. He looked to AEVA, she was just as rare as the last. "I take it you don't know who your creator was either?" he assumed. AEVA simply nodded. Completing his orbit around the group, he but glanced at Summers, though he was not very interested. He would put her to use soon enough. The makaioshin girl would assist him with his experiments by handing him needed equipment; she would learn how to sort files and keep the office clean, as well as how to remain safe. She would soon make a fine addition to his lab aides and perhaps become a great scientist herself.
