On Planet Aether (IC)

Modesta chewed on the inside of her cheek in though, before nodding in approval, “Good idea, solve the problem quickly before it gets out of hand. Are you alright though? I mean, I was kicked and punched black and blue, but you were stabbed! I think you need to sit down and rest a bit, maybe I should place an order for a new set of legs in the mean time.” She looked over at the android expectantly, awaiting his response. At the moment, Moe still didn’t know what the Bandit saw…or how many different drugs had been accidentally injected into his system, but all she knew was that she really wasn’t going anywhere till she got a new leg.

Gamma shook his head lightly. "I am not as fragile as you, or at least..." He visibly struggled a bit as he tried to think of a phrase she would understand. "I am easier to reassemble, or fix. I am currently 'healthy' at the moment, though I did use an exceptional amount of energy." He said. He moved over to the chair in the corner by the outlet, and proceeded to use his tenta-cable things to take energy from it once more. "I certainly hope nobody is using power tools..." He said as he plugged himself in. In an instant, all the lights dimmed, and an explosion could be heard from outside, followed by the bandit's voice. "Oh God, The PAIN! if only I wasn't using power-tools!" not soon after, another voice could be heard. "God, DAMNIT! I told you to stay out of my toolchest!" Gamma sat there, oblivious (or was he?) as his power recharged. "There, I am currently at 100% efficiency." he said as he moved back to his former location. "If you wish to upgrade, that is your decision."

Ah yes, screams of agony and similar, the sounds you hear that really let you know work was getting done, "Wow, quick recharge...if only humans could do that without the help of nanobots, healthy foods, and at least 6 hours of sleep." Reaching over to a table drawer, she pulled it open and pulled out yet another store holopad, cause she was highly disorganised and too lazy to put them back to recharge. Powered on, it currently had less that 25%, "Alright, the cheapst set of upgraded legs should be--! 25K, before shipping and handling...then, I need yet another new helmet. Hmmm...I should probably check my bank balance...!" After a few moments of computing, she froze up. The woman's eyes glazed over and her mouth fixed itself into a stiff line, opening her mouth, her voice was very neutral and mechanical, "I will wait for the end of the month to be paid before I do anything hasty." After saying this, she turned away to face the wall, letting out a depressed and tired sigh.

"Twenty five thousand..." Gamma said, deep in thought. "That should not take long, provided we can execute enough successful assignments." Gamma said straightening up. "In the meantime, I shall see if I can assist Mr. Malloy, though he does not seem to be in a good mood right now..." as if in response, more screaming could be heard. "It's a statue you fucking moron! It doesn't need spinning rims!" And then, another. "Says you! The holy scripture demands I pimp all the statues!" Gamma seemed worried. "In any event I should go before that man gets himself killed." With that, he turned to leave.

As soon as Gamma left, Modesta flicked through to her email account. A lot of billing, ads for things she wouldn’t be able to pay for yet, ads for things she didn’t need yet, ads for things she couldn’t use…and then, there were ‘those’ email messages. Even alone in her room, Moe got a little nervous. It wasn’t illegal for this sort of thing on this sort of place, and most people on this planet would hardly be missed, but requests to get rid of certain colonists and businesses didn’t sit right with her. Kyle discussed this with her at a length when she started this job, but she still couldn’t believe that people would so casually send her email hit on their fellows like this, this really was a lawless planet. Logging off, and shutting off the device, she lay back onto the bed and settled down for a short nap.
