It was pretty late when the ship they took finally arrived in Manta Carlos. The ride took about, what, 12 hours? That wasn't a bad time. The two sisters didn't get sick, the water was kind throughout, but even if it were rough, neither of them were really prone to sea sickness. The two of them were in a nice room, air conditioned with nice beds that didn't feel like a stack of cardboard and a pillow that was as soft as a cloud.

It was like a little cruise, just the two of them. Rosetta was asking a lot of questions about Manta Carlos, and the academy that her older sister worked in. Perhaps the two of them could work there together while she was taking classes. That would be great, wouldn't it?

Aliasse took the lead towards the direction of the city's downtown area, where plenty of hotels should still be up. Although, she needed to be careful as there were some love hotels in this island. It may have been in the red light district, but she wasn't sure where that started and where downtown stopped.

Both of them were each carrying a large backpack and those travel bags with wheels. Add in some sun hats and cameras around their necks and they'd look like tourists.

The night air felt good, at least it helped to cool down Zoe's outer system better than the daylight did. But her system was alread effecient enough that not even that had any particular impact on her cooling system. As she began to turn down an alley a process hit her and she realized she had fallen back into her hold reconnaissance protocols. Shakeing her head she turned back to the almost empty main street. Though there were nocturnal being in Monta Carlos they tended to direct their attention towards The Strip.

As Zoe turned back into the main street she looked down at her clothing. A thin white tank top with 'sweat pants' in a green camo design. She didn't know why she chose to wear these particular clothing, as clothing for simple 'modesty' really didn't sink in logically to the bio android. Clothin should have function other than the organics modesty. She had certainly seen what this modesty meant to some of the organics.

Mentally she rolled her eyes as she ran through some of her saved pictures of the sunsets from planets she had been to. This was the closest she would consider getting to 'day dreaming'. As she walked Zoe bumped into someone. Automatically she spoke up distractedly "Sorry, pardon me..." In the back of her mind she recognized the wheeled bags of new arrivals easily enough but she didn't see their face as she kept up a steady pace with long strides, eating up ground as she walked still thinking to herself.

The collision was bound to happen as Rosetta was taking in the sights and grew too complacent thanks to a mix of travel exhaustion and wonder. She relied on the fact that the last time she was looking forward, no one else was in front of them.

Aliasse however noticed the oncoming person and stepped to the side to make room, and she had expected Rosetta to do the same. But instead, the two bumped into each other.

"Hey, watch it!" Rosetta said out of reflex. She huffed a little, seeing the woman just walking away. She would have called out to her, but she saw those lights on her back. "What... are those?" she said in a low voice.

Aliasse tapped her on the shoulder and asked, "Did you lose anything?"

Rosetta patted her pockets quickly to see if anything was misplaced. She shook her head.

"Good. Let's not cause trouble."

Aliasse continued onwards, but Rosetta took the time to glance back at the girl again. What were those lights? Implants?

Through Zoe's day dreaming she heard the angry reflexive responce to walking into the girl. However what her ears heard next, though at a lower tone then most would hear Zoe's trained responces allowed her to catch up the tail of it. Her back went straight, sure there were few who actually commented on her Exo suit connection ports most she didn't hear. Turning her head and enchancing her vision for a moment to look at the two new comers.

She saw the one she bumped into was searching her pockets as if Zoe had stolen something from her. This made Zoe glower and begin walking back with an angry expression. "Do you think I am some low life criminal pickpocket! Why would I do such a thing!? Do you think that I need any of your organic needs! Tell me that, why would I care to steal anything I do not have need for!"

T-751-Z02 had been an assassin and law enforcement all in one unit. She had been taked to take down the previously though defective 750 line of law enforcement. She had been extremely effective in her task until she had come to her 'mother' programming and learned the truth. Even during all of that Zoe had never stolen or wanted of anything. She refused to let these new comers think this of her.

Hearing an angered voice, Aliasse turned back to see the stranger walk up to her sister, accusing her of accusing of being a thief.

Being the one closest, Rosetta spat back when the girl came to her growling her words. "Who the hell said you were a thief? And with you just waltzing up here being all defensive, you're acting quite suspicious. Maybe you are one, or--"

Aliasse made a silent interjection by gently moving her arm against Rose in a gesture saying that she'll handle this. After making sure Rose understood, Aliasse looked at the stranger straight in the eyes.

"This is just a misunderstanding." Her voice was firm and clear and somewhat commanding. The tone of her voice was flat, unimpressed and when coupled with the sharp stare she gave the stranger, almost hinting at a threat.

They just had a 12-hour trip, and having a fight an hour before midnight was not the way she wanted to wind down. And neither was being stolen from. When someone simply bumps into someone else and walk away in a hurry, that was a red flag. One of the easiest to spot. Nothing was lost, and so there was nothing else to discuss.

Aliasse was waiting for a response since she didn't want to start talking and get interrupted half way.

When the other stranger began to defend the first it made Zoe begin to wish she honestly did have her equipment with her. So that way she could so these filthy organics what for. And to not accuse Terminus Property... That made Zoe pause, she was not any property. She was her own person, she needed to remember that or she might fall back into her previous mentality and try to kill her mother again. Zoe would not have that. But she would rebuke this organic for the things they were saying. Before the android could begin the first person spoke back to the both of them. The tone she used Zoe classified as a superior trying to upbraid a subordinate. The android could even see the thread in the strangers eyes.

Not one to be threatened by an organic Zoe turned to this other one. "Yes, but I refuse to allow you organics to place such a dishonorable misnomer upon me. I am no thief, I do not steal. Nor will I ever. I patrolled the stars looking for the unjust and the criminal. I will not have a simple action as an accident smudge the reputation of the Term..." Zoe stopped and blinked for a second, she was not Terminus property any more. "... Of my Unit."

Zoe's gaze flicked between the two women. "I apologized for bumping into your person. For that is what one does when it was not to an intend purpose. I was not paying attention to where I was going, that was all. So I wish an apology from you for trying to add a filthy reputation of thief to my being."

The annoyance didn't show in Aliasse's features, but it was burning inside. Why was this girl so bent on this simple matter? This was worse than the ruckus caused by someone's perfectly harmless joke a few months ago at the place she was assigned to, but she didn't want to argue this further.

"Very well, I'm sorry for assuming you were a pickpocket." It was simply a measure of caution. She would have added that in, but felt that if she did, this will only take longer. If this woman was smart she'd eventually realize that it was simply Aliasse erring on the side of caution.

"Are we done here?" Rosetta asked impatiently. She realized that this person wasn't human, but she had the same fault of pride that so many have shown. She hated that kind of attitude. People thinking they were above everyone else because they were so special. Well guess what, being special meant nothing if you were so insufferable.

Zoe got what she wanted. The one apologized and that should be that. Z02 just wanted to be left alone now, she needed to think. Sure she could process things much after than an organic but trying to keep out the Terminus Corporation mentality from sneaking back into her thoughts was taking a lot of her consentration. So with a brief nod she took a step back away from the two women. "Good, with that settled. Have a good evening Civil..." Zoe stopped herself again. This was just getting ridiculous.

"I will not postpone you any longer. Have a good evening." Zoe turned and began to head back to her designated rooms not quite whispering to herself. "I think I need to shut down for a little bit..." It could be that Zoe just needed to have her unit rest and once she was fully charged again would be thinking straight. "Maybe I'll cuddle with Sir Fluff tonight as well... Did I just say that out loud?" Zoe stopped and had to think about that.

With a nod, Aliasse tapped Rosetta's shoulder and turned to continue down the road. If memory served, there was a place they could stay in for the night, and maybe tomorrow they could get to the apartment she had stayed in the first time she was here. The landlady was nice there and the building didn't have anything she could complain about. With any luck, she could get her old room. She liked the view there.

Rosetta however, despite being the impatient one just a moment before, lagged behind to examine the stranger as she walked off. And there was an amusing line that was carried by the wind as she turned to follow her sister. "Cuddle with Sir Fluff?" she murmured with a little chuckle. "Okay, that's actually cute."
