Beach day!

Zoe walked over from where she had been standing and looked down at her body, she was wearing an electric blue string bikini that Xandar had helped her pick out. "This is stupid, there is sand everywhere, I'm wearing almost as little as nothing at all and all of this is just adding up to be...odd." She didn't question why they were here. She had asked that on the previous stakeouts and they had ended with pretty much the same answer.

She still didn't know if this 101 unit was going to be here, they had been to several other locations in hope to find the rouge AI and this hunt was becoming more tiresome then any other Zoe had been to through her rather short Active life. But she had a part to play and she was going to need to play it. If they needed to get into the water she didn't have to worry, the ports on her back were water proof, they just needed to be dried out once she was done...it was mainly the sand she was worried about.

So with all of this in mind she moved over next to Xandar and wrapped an arm around his waist. "Well what are we waiting for hun. let's go have some fun."

Since didn't know what sort of day would be perfect for swimming she only smiled instead and pressed her exposed outer 'skin' layer against Xandar. Over the past few weeks of acting more 'human' had made her body begin to act more and more like a humans. Zoe was unaware of the changes but it might be noticeable to Xandar if he had been paying attnetion over the past few weeks.

When Xandar pulled her into a kiss she welcomed the feeling, the feelings she received from the kiss were exhilarating for the android. When they broke the kiss Zoe listened to what Xandar said and she leaned in "I am Water Proof. the cororation wanted me to be able to operate anywhere including water planets. SO, we can go for a...dip? is that what you called it?

"The heat isn't much of a problem, but yes. Let us go...swim." She moved with Xandar as they moved closer to the water, it was cool and her 'vital monotors' told her to not let Xandar 'ingest' any large amounts it as her body automatically registered the salt content...and it seemed a couple of trace chemicals too...humans were rather dirty creatures when it came to their planet. The chill though did allow her core systems to run more efficiently as they could dump heat faster into the water then they could to straight air.

Xandar then asked her a question about how she was liking it so far on earth. It was an odd question, something he could have asked any other time they were on a stakeout looking for the android 101. But she didn't follow that trail of questions right now, they needed something to talk about. "Well, it's a pleasent garden world. The Human species certainly is industrious if not a little naive in somecases. Here though, its...nice, I can see why some other species decided to come here and live or stay here after only visiting." Zoe looked up at the sky as she felt the water roll around her, the waves not really bothering her as she had more weight to her then some might think...and she didn't float up like a normal human would so the water chose an easier course then trying to bull rush her off her feet.

Zoe even liked the sunsets here and she had taken a few so far that she really liked. "If i didn't have the Corporation, or if I was a actual person. I think i'd like living here." she had a soft smile on as she continued looking up at the sky. Maybe she could...but no. The Corporation had to much for her to do, she couldn't just leave.

The beach was not a place that anyone would have thought to find Geo, but here she was none the less. After the Captain had decided to switch crews and Geo had decided to go along with she had started to regret it. The Vultures where the reason she was created, the ones she was meant to capture, and now here she was working right along side them. Add in the fact that they seemed to find great pleasure in annoying her a little downtown was called for.

According to the research she had done the beach seemed to be an ideal spot for 'getting away' and she had never been to one before so Geo decided that this is where she would go for a few hours. The research had also given a few suggestions of what would be considered proper beach wear though since she did not want to go into the water most of the swimming suits were not nessecary. Instead she chose a simple t shirt and shorts combination with a pair of sandals, though the one accessory that seemed not to match was the leg holster that held her standard issue law enforcement pistol from her old job.

She might be out to relax but this cybernetic organism still trusted only a few people on this planet.

“At least it should be quiet for now.” the ex-cop muttered to herself, a habit she had started to pick up while being on this planet.

It was true though as the beach did not seem to be too crowded at the moment, though there did seem to be two people near by. One of these two was oddly familiar though, and it wasn't until she got closer that the face registered. Social protocol would require her to at least say hello and attempt some form of niceties before she kept on her walk. When she was close enough to be heard she waved to Xandar and called out.

“Xandar, it is, well,” she paused for a second not knowing what to say. Their former captain, as well as Geo herself, had left the other crew members 'high and dry' when they left. “It is good to see you. You are doing well of course?”

"I'm an artificial creation of the Corporation, i was made to be a more...friendly face to the universe so I could do my job...that is all I am...but thank y..." When she heard the voice calling to Xandar it hit a certain tone in Zoe's Database files...it matched something she hopped for on the surface but to who it was addressing made something in her chest shatter. A liquid substance trailed down her cheeks, to anyone else it might be seen as tears but it could also be water from the waves. 101 knew Xander...he KNEW the android she had been hunting for weeks, he could have lead them at any time...and he had toyed with her. He had lied to her for weeks now, wasting both of their time.

She firmly and almost roughly pushed Xandar away from herself...he was filth...he was a liar and a traitor and she didn't even know why she had worked with him in the first place. He probably was trying to protect 101...they were friends... Zoe's eyes when she looked at Xandar were filled with betrayal, hurt...and such a fury that it could boil the seas away if it was a source of heat...in fact, in preparation for the fight that Zoe knew was going to inevitably happen her skin became hot to the touch, but unlike before this was controlled, it was her body going into battle preparation and her 'muscles' were hardening and 'limbering up'. It was then that she turned her gaze onto 101. Voice amplification had activated when she about to speak. "T-750-101, this unit T-751-Z02 is here to demand your return to the Terminus Corporation. All units of the 750 series are faulty and are being decommissioned...stand down or I must take you back...deactivated."

While she spoke she had begun to walk back towards the beach, she was not running yet, that was for when this recalled unit ran...she was going to deal with her reason for being on this filthy...worthless...lying planet and leave. Once she was done with this unit...she might even ask the Corporation for a memory wipe...there was nothing here worth remembering.

Geo was about to address Xandar's response and his apparently lack of enthusiasm about seeing her again when another voice cut through. Geo was about to say something about manners but snapped her mouth shut when this person, no this UNIT apparently, called her by her old serial number and then gave one of its own.

An upgraded model, they made a new series to hunt down the old models? This was not good at all. Apparently they did not make this series all too bright because it was unarmed and walking towards an armed opponent. Geo did not run, instead she quickly drew her pistol and took aim.

“I would not if I were you. They are not calling me back for decommissioning, they are calling me back to die. I did my job better then any and just because I failed to capture ONE group they want to take me apart? Or was it because we began to think for ourselves?” Her finger was starting to put pressure on the trigger as she spoke, not enough to fire it but enough to show that she would if necessary. “Also you can call it what you want but it is murder that you are a part of plain and simple, and I will not go quietly to my own death.”

This exact speech is also the secondary reason why the project Geo was a part of was closed down, as she had stated the units started to think of themselves less as machine and more as actual individuals. The corporation probably thought this dangerous enough to cancel the program and get rid of the evidence, but apparently not enough to try not mess around with a new series.

“Xandar, did you know who this was?” Geo did not take her eyes off her opponent as she spoke to her ex-crew mate. “Is this your revenge for us leaving the crew? You are selling me out to this UNIT, to my own death?”

As she said the word unit Geo seemed to sneer and bare her teeth, a new reaction that seems to have evolved in her programming. It would seem the attitude of the Vultures was slowly rubbing off on her.
