yorhack​:

guilt’s teeth gnaw viciously, another hole in something already in tatters. it’s like her insides are caught in a vice, relentless in the way it claws and tears at her. her mouth remains set in a thin line. giving him any kind of hope that things could even remotely return to the way they were would be cruel. emotions are prohibited, she reminds herself. it wouldn’t be cruel. rather, it would be further detrimental to her duties. 

it’s a nice attempt, but the thought does nothing to soothe the ache in her heart. the way he says her name is like a blade piercing clean through her.

“ negative. ” she swiftly addresses the pod before turning her attention to 9S. “ … i need you to stay away. unless you want to be executed a second time. ”  truly, the both of them would be executed if her involvement was found out. but … she couldn’t bring herself to mind. starting over with no memories … was surely a much more merciful fate than this.

Had it been too much, to hope? Did he even know what it was that he had hoped for in the first place? Part of him had known, deep down, that he could hardly rejoin her. Not when standing by her side once more as he had would make his continued existence incredibly conspicuous to those who had ordered it to end in the first place... but whatever he had dared to wish for in their oft envisioned reunion, it wasn’t this.

When a third voice broke over the silence between them, Nines affixed her hovering companion with a suspicious glare. Hopefully her Pod would prove more loyal to her than his had been. ( all that time with Pod 153, he had thought her a friend of sorts, but she had been diligently watching and reporting his every move. had everything in his former life been secretly lying in wait? )  

“I don’t know if I can do that, 2B.” He could, he had been. But even though he had found ways to keep himself busy - studying the machines, searching for answers, helping his benefactor with his work when he could - he did so alone... just like before. “But... I wouldn’t want anything to happen to you if they found me.” ( or for you to have to do that again... ) “I can try.”

;; – “ WE DON’T HAVE TIME FOR IT, 9S. “   – Whatever words he could’ve said, she’d have shut it down sooner than let him speak. 2B never liked to, and already she knows that this won’t be the end of it, but extending the peace for now is what she wants. No, what she needs.

It’s a moot point. 9S has always been driven ; that’s how he was designed to be. Other Scanners are like this too, but he just didn’t know when to stop, did he?   2B sighed and turned on heel, walking off knowing he would be following. 

“After we deal with the machines over here. If we have time to spare then we can come back, but command is expecting this to be wrapped up quickly.” A pause, then she looked over her shoulder.  “ Take that as a challenge to get this done as quickly as possible with me, won’t you?” 

“... Right.” Part of him still wanted to rush back, the draw of hacking into that terminal proving to be strong indeed, but not quite strong enough to win over. It was still on his mind, of course, but at least physically he would leave it behind him as he quickened his pace to fall into stride slightly behind her.

He perked up a bit as she looked back at him, a small grin appearing at the challenge issued. “You got it, 2B!” Quickly in, quickly out, and together it shouldn't take them too long, right?

With a new energy he moved past her, seeking a vantage of the machines they sought. Best to know the field, after all, not to mention the enemy. “Hm... That machine over there seems to have wandered away from the rest.” 9S tilted his head, an indicative nod toward it. “You know, if I took control of it remotely, I could slip in and do some damage before they know we're here. The distraction might be an advantage.”

"your secret is safe with my indifference." from 2b :3

He should be thanking her, all things considered. Should she have found it necessary, she could easily have killed him ( again ), either by her own action or by a simple relaying of information to those who would, and by all rights he should have felt gratitude that she had decided not to.

But there was something else there, a word that cut as deeply as her sword once had.

“Indifference?”

Did he really mean so little to her, as he was now? She had been his world, the closest thing he'd ever had to family, and he would have... He would have done anything for her, he would have died for her in a beat of his synthetic heart. ( part of him wondered if he still would ) The scanner could not fight the impulse, the urge to reach out toward her. 

“I... You don't really mean that, do you...?” Of course, there was another who stood in his place, now. Another him. He was her mission now, so where, exactly, did that leave him?  “... 2B?”

i think i’ve always been in love with the idea of you.

i was only gone for thirty seconds!

you don’t always have to put on a brave face, dear.

we’re friends, right? are we friends?

i know we don’t always agree and i know i can be unkind, but… you know you’re family, right?

i’ve had a terrible thought. and it is sort of my business to have terrible thoughts.

take me instead.

we walk towards glory.

that’s mine! that’s mine!

did it choose me because i was broken, or did it break me?

please bring him back to me.

you think you care about me?

this was always supposed to happen, wasn’t it?

i love you. if i can find you, i will. if not, stay alive.

ninthscanner said:   ❝ it’s dark inside of us; i mean that as no metaphor. ❞ ( -slides rebuilt!9S your way- )

it’s nonsense. he’s sure of it. perhaps his logic programming is decaying, with such limited maintenance. perhaps these are merely the ramblings of an infected android. even so … he can’t place why it’s so chilling to hear. perhaps it’s seeing his own face, hearing the words from his own voice. ignore it. it’s meaningless.

 he should’ve reported this to command a long time ago, and yet … he cannot quite bring himself to do so. it’s … essentially suicide, right ?  dwelling on the thought makes his head spin unpleasantly.

“  are you … sure that resistance member didn’t accidentally mess with your cognitive functions … ?  haha … ” 

“Hah...” Nines echoed the laugh, but though their voices were eerily the same, his own carried a certain weary edge. He had lost some of his memories to data corruption, admittedly, but to his knowledge his cognitive function was sound. “If he had, I'm pretty sure I would have noticed. Wouldn't you, if someone messed with your head?” The question was more pointed than it might have seemed. Because someone had, hadn’t they? Their minds, the part of them that made them who they were, erased and remade at YoRHa's bidding, again and again.  

                [ and again and again and again and -- - ] 

“It's okay if you don’t want to think about it.” Back then, before, he hadn’t either. ( even when he had seen her coming for him and known what that meant ) “I understand, I really do.” 

A corner of his mouth curved upward, then, perhaps in odd contrast to the serious nature of his previous words. “It's also dark in a more literal sense, you know. We don’t exactly have built-in lighting systems. Not that we’d need them, under normal circumstances. Probably would've made things a bit easier for him, though.”

“The shopping mall it is.” The fall into silence said it all, Reeve then feeling the assurance he lacked earlier that taking the android with him was the right decision. There was no city like Midgar in the whole world, the pinnacle of mankind’s efforts, endurance and arts. Only the Goid Saucer would rival its breathtaking brilliance at night. For all the rust and mire, the shadows and the misery, at least it was a superficial masterwork. But both were sides of the same coin and without knowing the other, there was no true improving the city. 

Before the architect could answer, an unseen passenger literally jumped to the back seats and made himself comfortable. “Hahaaaa! Normal, nae! Yer in special company, lad! 9S, ye? Got a nickname?” Cait Sith joined the party, patting the part of the seat he wanted clean and putting on the belt as well. Wouldn’t want any dents with Reeve’s driving.

With two not quite human by-drivers, in the backdrop of the city that never slept it was a good moment to introduce them to each other. “Well, the cat is out of the bag. 9S, meet Cait Sith. Cait Sith, 9S. He’s my other assistant.” Taking an exit-curve, their car followed the road to the Sector 4, where a new mall hadn’t opened too long ago.

In an instant, the mysterious sound turned to a sudden motion, and 9S - though obviously startled - automatically began doing what he was designed to do. In the face of the unknown, he scanned. Even before the unexpected third party had fully come into view and taken a seat, the android had already noted some of the basics - small, fast moving... fabric...? The series of rapid blinks of cool blue optics would have been conveniently ( or, perhaps, inconveniently ) covered, but the short sound in the back of his throat and the way his mouth had fallen slightly agape was likely enough to convey the mix of surprise and confusion he was currently experiencing. It was... a toy cat?

A talking toy cat?

A cat that, thankfully, Reeve seemed to be familiar with, a friend and passenger rather than a concern or stowaway. “It's... nice to meet you, Cait Sith.” The name was spoken with a slight incline, as though filing away its pronunciation. Was this plush feline also some sort of advanced artificial intelligence unit? Inquiries were withheld, barely, as he focused first on the question he had been asked a moment ago. ‘Got a nickname?’

“Um... A couple of the scientists have called me ‘Nines’ on occasion, I suppose that counts?” It was still a number, but it did sound somewhat less like a model designation. He looked once more from the cat to the man behind the wheel, as though trying to decide which to address. ( was he nearly vibrating with questions? ) “I wasn't told you had another assistant. He's...” His focus returned to the passenger in the back. “I haven't seen anything like you before.”

“You know, according to records, the wildlife here used to be smaller. Not much smaller, but... smaller.” The subject wasn't entirely broached at radnom, as his gaze was currently trained on a particularly agitated boar that seemed quite keen on finding some way to reach the android that had ( unintentionally ) provoked it. Thankfully, wild boars couldn't climb. Or... at least, he really hoped they couldn't. 

“Except for the birds. It seems like they haven't been affected at all in that way.” 9S always was one to talk with some frequency, but there was a slight line of distinction between his usual chatter and him trying to cover his nerves. He wasn't intimidated by an oversized angry pig, was he? “Heh... wonder why that is?”

[ninthscanner]

@sacrificim​ | (sc)

“H-hey, so... uh... Emil?” The toe of the scanner's boot swung lightly into the earth beneath them, dragging yet one more abstract line in a series that would soon be swept smooth again. ( 9S was always moving in some way, it seemed - even when standing still ) Previously averted gaze was gradually lifted to meet that of the addressed sphere. Really, he still wasn't quite sure what to think of him as. Not an android, nor like any machine he'd seen; but a friend, he hoped.

“Sorry about trying to kill you before.” - and calling you weird. In his defense, it had been a bit unsettling to see a machine split open like an egg to reveal an unblinking, stone-like face beneath. “I thought you were some new kind of machine or something. Come to think of it, what were you doing inside one, anyway?”
