If you asked Geo if she was having a bad day she would probably punch you in the mouth, or at least hit you with her now severed arm. Though most people would not be foolish enough to ask such a stupid question of the slightly charred looking cybernetic organism that was currently carrying one of her own arms around and asking for a mechanic.

Geo had been working on a few tasks at once and rather foolishly had not bothered to wear her suit while doing it, feeling like wearing normal human coveralls would be sufficient for the task at hand. This was proven false when maybe twenty minutes into her task there had been an accident which had caused a small explosion that had severed her left arm from the elbow down. She had cursed herself for her foolishness. Splitting her attention in so many directions had been part of the issue and when other things had started to happen around her it caused a sensory overload and she had made a few mistakes that she was not able to catch in time for her normally fast reflexes to react to, and thus lead to her current condition.

Luckily enough there had been no property damage but Geo looked rather worse for wear. First off she had to find new clothing as she could not wear her suit now with a missing arm, and secondly bits of her endoskeleton were now showing through the charred flesh on her good arm and face. The severed arm seemed to be stripped of most of its' organic covering, but that could be dealt with after she had it re-attached.

Most of the shops she had visited though had said that the work was too far beyond their own limitations, but everyone she talked to had pointed her in the direction of a small alien child named Maeko who was supposed to be some sort of technical prodigy. Unfortunately though seeing as he was still a child this meant he probably did not have a shop so to speak so she asked about as to where it was she could find him. This of course had lead to her trip into the woods as it was a place he apparently liked to frequent a lot to play with his technological toys.

After a few moments trek deeper into the woods she came upon a clearing where she indeed found the boy, apparently in some sort of giant mechanized suit, firing off what appeared to be dummy rounds into a few rather large targets. Just what exactly was going on here? How was it even legal for a child of his age to posses such weapons? Her hand clenched the severed arm tightly as she fought the old cop instincts to start yelling and questioning the boy. She really wanted to ask what exactly he was doing with that sort of weaponry and let him know how much trouble he was going to be in. Instead she simply stepped forward and cleared her throat before speaking.

Excuse me, I require your assistance in a small matter of some repairs.”

Maeko Terenimas

Maeko was mainly practicing his rapid reaction fire at the moment as he switched between targets on the fly as Oh-gah-mi-kai gave him the parameters of his test while he kept at it. true he was use to sparring his brother and the targets didn't really give much of a challenge but his Wavebreaker needed recalibration after the last match when a round had hit particularly hard in the joint connecting the gun arm to the torso cockpit. The target distance was at extreme ranges for him to as he tried to speed up aiming times while doing a light bit of pacing in the ground.

He could have been flying right now but Maeko had decided against using fuel at the moment while he was going through the motions. "Kai, up the sensitivity again. It's still sluggish." The boy genius commented in a bored tone as he also adjusted some hard toggles inside the cockpit for changing the magnetics of his Railgun. "Adjustment set Maeko. I would also recomend rectifying the aim of the rifle, it's trailing marginally to the left after 3/5th distance traveled. Over longer ranges it could make you miss a target." The calm tones of Kai responded as Maeko shot at the furthest target and just such an occurrence happened.

"I see that now, making adjustments." After a few calculation adjustments with the programing while Kai did a test of the shields to make sure the power draw for the weapon hadn't changed they took another couple of shots before the small red ball of Kai appeared next to Meako's monitor. "Maeko, there is a mechanical being trying to make verbal contact with you to your rear it seems to be asking for assistance."

It was after another long shot that Maeko turned the mech around, the weight of the mech itself shaking the nearby trees and ground. "And what assistance would that be?" Maeko had asked the question before he had fully zoomed the optical sensors on the 'head' of the mech in. Noticing the detached arm and the scorch marks he tilted his head as his mind was racing through metallurgical data and mechanical engineering trying to think of what would need to be done to fix the arm even while he piloted the mech to a kneeling position and opened the cockpit.

Control panels and joysticks moved out of his way as he gently levitated himself out of the mech's interior and down in front of the.... woman? "Well... never mind then..." He whispered as without cerimony he grabbed the detached arm and quickly looked over it, his large eyes flicking here and there thinking to himself. "Well... Shit..." the last word was a burble of his native tounge. "I need my shop..." Without further explanation he kept hold of the arm, floated back into his mech. It hummed back to life as it's energy core began to power the systems again. In one 'arm' that had a buckler looking device on it he put the hand carefully around the female and the engines on his pack began to roar to life.

Apparently Geo had been mistaken about the child not having a shop then, as the boy had just currently said otherwise. She was slipping, this was something she could have easily found out using only a fraction of the police skills that had been programmed into her. She was getting complacent during her time here, not using the full potential of her processors. This would have to be rectified in the future.

“A shop? Yes, that would be sufficient. If you could lead the way I would gladly,” the words froze in the air as the boy floated back into the giant mechanical suit of his with her arm and then scooped her up and took off. “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!”

To say she was mad was an understatement, she was currently livid! She was perfectly fine with walking, heck she could probably even run there as fast as this thing could carry her! Plus he had not even had the courtesy to ask her first before picking her up off the ground and darting off to who knows where! If he had not been a child, or in a rather large mechanical suit, she would have probably punched him right then and there!

“I swear to whatever power you may believe in, so help me I will” Again the words died on her lips, maybe antagonizing the only one who could repair your arm was not the of best idea. “Ergh, never mind. Next time do not do something like this without warning me first.”

With that Geo simply relaxed and let the boy carry her off to where ever this shop of his was in silence, her pride was not worth the loss of her arm.

Maeko set the jets on his back to full power as the Wavebreaker Suit began to rise up off the ground quickly and they were off with little fanfare as the speed across the tops of trees and clearings alike as they were heading towards Maeko and Laeko's ship which housed their workshops. Though Maeko wasn't paying any attention to the ragings of the female in hisrobotic grip at the moment.

Kai did however and a small crimson orb of light appeared at a reasonable distance from the woman. "I do want to apologize for Maeko's lack of manners mam. He gets carried away easily and forgets himself. But I guess introductions are in order."

There was a flicker of change in the orb as it altered a hundred different parts to the suit in rapid succession keeping them from falling on their faces. "I am Oh-gah-me-kai, or simply Kai. The piolet and the one you requested help from is Maeko Terenimas. And who might you be?" the AI had it's suspicions but it kept those to itself for now.

She watched as a red orb materialized and started to speak to her, apparently the child was not the only one present in the suit. An AI perhaps?

”Carried away is an understatement.” was the only thing that she said before the red orb began to introduce them selves. Kai and Maeko? She made a note of that in her files and just simply nodded before introducing herself as well.

I am Prototype enforcement droid T dash seven zero five dash one zero one, most simply refer to me as Geo.” She thought about it for a moment and then added on. ”I guess you could say ex enforcement droid, as officially I should have been decommissioned.”

That tone that she had used for that last statement inferred that this was not a topic that she wished to currently discuss. Not many people would want to discuss the fact that the people who gave you life decided that you were a failure despite the fact that you did your job, oh and they wanted to tear you apart for scrap metal after as well.

”I take it you are an artificial intelligence then?” She regarded the red orb, making a note of what she saw of the mechanical suit so far there was not really room for a second passenger in there. “Or are you communicating from another location? Where, in fact, are we headed to?”

She couldn't help but to ask questions, especially about this odd situation she seemed to find herself in. It would seem some of her old instincts hadn't grown rusty after all.

"Pleasant greetings...Geo, your name will now be added to my database so I can recall your name." Kai seemed to grin where it was floating near the female droid. In the next few nanoseconds he ran a search of all mentions of a T-705-101 Prototype Enforcement Droid at the same time searching for the name Geo in it's banks of memory. "I am in fact an Artificial Sentient. Maeko found the word Artificial Intelligence a little misleading. For are not the Native Terran dogs Intelligent? so I am an AS instead. But yes, to put it simply I am an Artificial lifeform."

Nothing came up on the search but that wasn't surprising here on the planet Terra there wasn't much connection to the Levani hyper-web of information for it to find things like it use to. "For the question of where we are going, we are heading to an islet just barely a hop away from this location. It is the location of Maeko's ship and workshop, there he will be able to repair your arm."

It was about then that the trajectory of their flight changed. Maeko moved with expert presicion slowed just enough that when his 'feet' landed on the ground and he sprung into the air they arched over the taller trees that were surrounding his ship allowing him to land on the top of the spaceship on a specially built landing pad that absorbed the excess momentum from the landing before he turned the 'head' sensory array to the woman he held in his robotic hand and said "We have arrived."

Artificial intelligence, sentience, whatever you wanted to call it they all boiled down to the same thing. At one point or another they had been created in a lab. Geo's core personality had been created long before her body had ever been finished, though she has grown a lot since those days. They had programmed her to learn and learn she did until they finally had to agree that she was indeed a true sentient. This didn't stop them from trying to dismantle her of course. Still, it was probably best to get these terms straight before she inadvertently offended someone.


I see, I guess that would be a better term. I will have to store that in memory for later.” Geo did not say anything else till they finally made it to their destination.

Her eyes scanned the ship, searching her memory for a class, make, or even origin. Sadly though she came up blank.

Data not found, species outside of patrol area? Interesting.” she muttered as she stored images of the ship and it's location to memory. Either this truly was from some other system then the ones she used to patrol or the explosion may have damaged her memory banks as well, she would have to look into that.

So, are you going to carry me the rest of the way or can I walk from here?”

If an oversized Mecha had a blinking mechanic it would have used it here, the pilot of said Mecha had to take a moment to realize what she ment. Maeko had been entrenched in his mental rut about the needed flight path and another part of his brain was still calculating the metallurgical measurments and tools he was going to need.

After that slightly prolonged moment however Maeko couldn't help but do a human gesture of slapping his own forehead. "Sorry, sorry..." he then proceded to grab his controls again and gently placed the female down. Once he did so he input the nesseceary codes and the platform began to decend into the ship.

The inside of the ship was mostly workshop space for the brothers maintenance and research needs. Though everything was split in two halves from the center. One color cordinated red, the other blue. Maeko took a couple of steps over to the red side of the work space and the red ball that was Kai zipped up to a mechanical lift system with a bunch of different arms that came down and hooked onto the Mecha suit.

Once the Wavebreaker was secure Maeko opened up the cockpit and levitated down to the ground with the dismembered arm. "Alright, now. Few questions for you before im going to be able to proceed. You're just looking to have it hooked back into your body correct?"

Maeko didn't pause for an answer though as he was 'pacing' back and forth while hovering a foot off the ground. "I must ask, what sort of materials were used in its creation and if you are allergic to anything." It was then that Maeko stopped his barrage of words to look at the woman.

After she was lowered down Geo dusted herself off, as best as she could with one arm, and nodded towards Maeko in thanks before everything under her feet started to move. They were apparently on some sort of landing platform that was descending into the depths of the ship, into this work shop.

She had not had much time to look around though, because as soon as the child was free of the armour the questions started to fly at her.

Yes, that is correct.” She said looking at the arm then to where it had once been attached. “If you could get it reattached I would be grateful. Do not worry about the organic components though, those I can regenerate myself.”

As far as what it was made from, she would have to dig deep into her memory banks for that information. After a slight pause as it was accessed she then relayed it to the boy.

The endoskeleton is made from some sort of titanium alloy.” She frowned before going on. “The exact components are apparently classified. I do not know more then that.”

It made sense though as she was technically government property, one of their many projects, so why would they let her know everything about herself? They always kept secrets, like the one about how they were going to dismantle her for scrap and the reason why! She had found out it was happening and managed to escape, but the reason why they were doing it still alluded her.

Do you think you can repair it? If so you would be the only one on this island so far that seems capable enough to do so.” It was true though, as far as she was concerned he was her only hope left.

"mhmm...well classifieds don't really help in this situation. And with the extensive damage to the joint itself i might have to make a new elbow for you entire. So sit some where. I need to find out what it's made of before we can proceed." with that Maeko floated off to one of his machines placing the fore arm he had down on a flat section and punched a few buttons as the machine.

It slowly came to life with multiple arms attached to which were tools and analyzers of all sorts. A light flashed and some chemical analysis came up on a display panel and while the machine did more to the exposed metal joint Maeko examined the text. "Titanium obviously....some aluminum... A touch of Vandium... chromium... molybdenum...aaand zirconium. Simple stuff. Unfortunately some of these will be harder to get."

Maeko then floated over to a large sphere of a machine and began imputing certain materials as well as a simple design. Before entering the finishing parameters he floated over to Geo with a small cylindrical device in his hand. "Now miss. Are you able to actually feel the metal? Because if you can this next bit might be quite the shock of you life...well one of them any way."
