Matthew pulled the wires out of the wall to see if there were any more breaks in the lines. There were several in addition to the one he originally spotted. He wondered how the lights managed to stay on this long. he got to work with the wires that only had damage to the casings and simply wrapped them in electrical tape.

Once all of that had been done he went on to the real challenge which was fixing the more heavily damaged ones. it was almost deliberate looking in the damage and with the craziness happening lately he wouldn't put it past some wacko to do this in secret.

Matthew finished several minutes prior to opening time for the store and left with nothing more than a flick of the lights to let the employees know he was done. it was about the end of lunch but he couldn't care less, he wanted something to eat.

Luke woke by the buzzing sound of his alarm clock, he glanced at his watch.

''11 AM!'' He yelled, he ran through his apartment, he took a quick shower and shaved his growing beard, He put on plain clothing, he quickly took his purse and rushed down the stairs, saluted his neighbor and ran for the city, he was supposed to buy a present for his colleague's son, it was his 8th birthday. He almost tripped because he didn't tie his shoelaces.

''Where the hell am I supposed to find a freaking toy shop!''

He thought to himself. After 30 minutes he finally found a toy shop, it's name was Toy- Toy. Luke raised his eyebrow when he noticed the name yet he rushed in.

''Hi there, I'm looking for a little present that would suit a 8th year old boy.''

''Umm, you look quite young for a father sir, but I'll see what I have.''

''No, no it's for colleague's son.''

After a short time the girl returned with a hologame.

''Most kids love these games! That's gonna be X credits.'' (I have no idea of how much credits such things would cost hehe.)

He gave the employee some credits.

''Keep the change, bye!''

Luke ran out of the store but accidently dropped his purse on the floor, the girl walked over to grab his purse, she yelled for the man but he was in too much of a hurry. He ran to the research facility, it was 2:30PM by now, he saluted the security officers and passed through the large gate, he walked to the engineering section and greeted his colleague.

Luke said in a friendly way ''Congratulations, I hope your boy's gonna have a great day today, would you give this present to him?''



''Thanks! He'll love it, I'll surely give it to him as soon as possible!''

Luke started working on his mini A.I robot system.

Alexis wrapped the tiny strand of hair around her finger and curled her lip, fluttered her lashes and gave a little sniff "I promise, it wont happen again!"

For a moment Max just stood there, arms folded, foot tapping. He was giving it his up most effort to appear frustrated and unimpressed by her recent performace, yet another shift missed and late in to work, hell she'd have fired herself if she was him. But if her charms could work on anyone it was him. "This is the last time Lexi, if you pull another stunt like this I'm getting someone else in"

"Al-" why can't that ass hole ever get my god damn name right!!! "Umm, you can count on me boss!" She grinned, topping off her greatful act with a rewarding wink; worth it to see his knees weaken.

The morning shift was always a bore at Toy-Toy, all the small children were in school and unless an important event like christmas was coming up, well you wouldn't see a parent for miles! Not that it mattered, all she could think about was how she'd promised to see Ada's teacher that afternoon. Just another teacher to tell me how irresponsible I am, how I can't look after my own sister... I swear if she doesn't know anymore than I do i'll h-

"Hi there, I'm looking for a little present that would suit a 8 year old boy.''

As she set her gaze upon the young man infront of her she completely lost her trail of thought, infact it took her a moment to take in. An actual customer?! Well she'd be damned! "You look a little young to be a father, if you don't mind me saying" She flashed him a smirk before realising how hypocritical she sounded, making such an assumption.

"No, no it's for colleague's son.'' He spoke, looking abit awkward. He seemed in a hurry to be somewhere and she decided today she'd drop her flirting with the customer act, he clearer wasn't going to budge for any overpriced tat she pushed infront of him.

Climbing onto the step ladder behind the counter, Alexis reached up for the highest shelf and grasped the latest hologame. For a moment she concidered this a bad idea, wearing a tutu, but this guy didn't seem the type. With a little hop and a neat twist she popped the game on the counter and flashed the price on her screen. "Ouch, that's gonna set you back atleast fifty credits..."

And with that he placed the sum on the counter and made a mad dash out the door, dropping his wallet/purse in the process. She did try to make a half hearted attempt to gain his attention, but to her fortune no success. "Now what do we have here..." a small sense of victory flashed through her as she peered inside, only to be burst by her boss whispering in her ear.

"If you want to keep your job, I suggest you return that after work"

"What?!?! But... I have places to be, I can't!"

"No buts."

Spoiler: click to toggle



"Yes, of course I feel bad... Yes I know I promised. Look Jo if I lose my job we wont have a place to live in, why don't you tell her that before she starts getting angry with me... Yes, I've already made a new appointment for tomorrow afternoon. Right... uhuh... I'll be back late. K, bye."

The Orion Tower, well she'd certainly never been here before and she hoped she'd never have to journey this far from home again. She was no unitologist, but she was hardly a fan of what EarthGov stood for either, but right now she had to get this purse back. It was quite a treck to find the right adress in the end, something felt like she didn't belong here, so she intended to get away as soon as she could. Just one little knock at the door.

"What is it?" The man from the stoor appeared at the door, the smile on his face threw her off alittle, not that she could hold a gaze to his face. She pushed her hand into her coat pocket and pulled out his purse, making no effort to reply, she merely thrust it in his direction. "Oh, oh your the girl from the shop. Thanks."

Thanks... Thanks. Thanks?!?! She nearly exploded. But refrained. Forcing a smile, afterall. She could never be sure which of these customers were man enough to report her if she did turn nasty. "You're welcome" Jerk.

Arthur just stood in a moment of awe, Somehow the man had known he was putting the funds into an ATM, "aww...crap" , thought Arthur, The man had been using a marked Credit chip, a bit like the Cheque of the future, it notified the owner when the funds were being used, But the man had told him to keep it, Maybe it was a trick, Either way Arthur was just going to take a little from the top to keep him going and donate, no-one gets hurt right? But as Arthur hit the 'Withdraw' option, The ATM only shone orange with an error message, Telling Arthur that the funds were locked.

"Damnit!", Arthur pounded on the ATM before lowering his voice, A few people had turned and begun to notice him then looked away, The marked credit chip had also had it's funds locked to all but 2 RIG authorisation codes, One was noted as Inzigo Reid, The same man who donated them, As well as the name of some other man, Who Arthur recognised the name as The Church of Unitology's Treasurer, Some crazy Uni who got paid to sit around raking in the rest of the Uni's money.

Retracting the Credit chip from it's slot, Arthur pocketed it, He'd have to donate it now, That sneaky son of a snotbag earlier must've been wary of handing his donation over, For good reason too.

Arthur stacked his papers from the table he had left them on and decided to carry on with his job for now, He would donate later when he had to give back his uniform, Despite Arthur's distaste to Unitologist clothing, He hadn't minded the jacket so much as it helped mask the stench of his other clothing which he had scavenged and been wearing for years, Perhaps the offer that Inzig-No, Arthur would not stoop to charity clothing from someone who had just yanked him away from his job like that.

"Though maybe there is a different way..." Thought Arthur, setting off round The Concourse.

Jormong and Berathor were traveling to Orion Tower to meet with some engineer who could apparently dabble a bit in Artificial Intelligences. They had heard that this guy could crack nearly any code.

The reason to why they were visiting this man was that they had received a A.I. cube used by military ships a few months after they found out Rodny had died, but unfortunately it had been locked down with some of the hardest security systems. And this was the reason to why they were coming to this man.

After about an hour in the tram they finally arrived Berathor quickly wondering off towards a few women who were waiting for another tram, leaving Jormong alone. Jormong then headed towards the address he had received from a friend of his, with the cube in his pocket. As usual people were turning around to look at him. And after all he couldn't really complain. He would do the same thing if he saw a man, who instead of a mouth had a smooth service where his mouth should be, and a small robot like thing on his shoulder plugged into his civilian suit.

After returning from a busy day working on Earthgov's new advanced technology Luke managed to get home, he took off his equipment and sat down on the sofa, just when the doorbell ringed, he opened the door. ''What is it?'' He said in a rather unfriendly voice, he realized he was very impolite. The girl from the shop stood in front of him. She reached for her coat pocket and handed over his purse. ''Thanks.'' was how Luke replied.
Luke could see the anger in the girl rising. Oh shit, I think I've said something wrong was what Luke thought. Yet she forced herself to remain calm. ''You're welcome.''

Luke stood in his hallway with his purse in his hand, the girl slowly walked away, a kind of awkward situation. Luke realized he was rather impolite to the girl.

''Hey, thank you so much I really appreciate it, this purse kinda means a lot to me, my name is Luke by the way, nice to meet you.''

Luke took a look in his pocket to check if his family picture was still in there, it was, he was so relieved.

''Wait, are you checking if your money's in there?!'' Alexis said in a rather angry voice.

She walked towards Luke. 

''I friggin' walked all the way through the station to deliver your god damn purse and you are checking it for money?! You.. Arghh, GEEZ!'' 

Luke was shocked by her reaction.

While scratching the back of his head he said.
''Oh no, I was actually checking if the picture of my parents was still in here.''

''Oh..'' She replied.

''Anyway my name's Luke, nice to meet you.'' He said in a kind of awkward way.

''Alexis... My name's Alexis.''

''Alright, wanna come in for coffee? I owe you one."

Sion left his classroom and went into the Transport Hub from the playground. School was over and he already waited about half an hour for his parents who hadn't show up and he couldn't contact him via RIG link for some reason. They just never answered, Sion wasn't worried though, he guessed that they had their own reasons, business related or something like that. He wanted to go to the Church by himself, but his parents had warned him never ever to go by himself, why? Well they never told him. He sat in the Transport Hub, quite unsure where to go. He never did this by himself, he was alone, vulnerable and scared. He just sat on the bench and pulled his knees in. This really really really was scary. So many people, strangers... don't talk to strangers.
He repeated that rule constantly told by his parents and teachers in his head and averted his eyes to the ground, avoiding eye contact with anyone.

Time passed, Sion got confused with his minutes and hour hand so he couldn't read the clock. He wasn't sure how to pull up the UI from his RIG to view the digital time so he was stuck there. He spotted a little corridor with a sign over it reading 'CONCOURSE MEZZANINE'.
"I could go there, I guess..." Sion said to himself and shuffled his way through the crowd until he reached the very same corridor he was in this morning to enter the Elementary school. This time, instead of turning right towards the school, he turned left towards the lift and up into the Concourse Mezzanine.

He bought a hot chocolate and sat down by the edge, peering down at the many people. The hot chocolate he ordered contained extra marshmallows and chocolate sprinkles and cream. Somehow he thought that would add some fat to his body. Still waiting for a call from his parents asking where he was never happened. He had no clue how to get to the apartment by himself, he didn't even know the name. Cassini Towers? Orion Tower? Sion could cry right now he was that scared of just being alone.

"Alexis? Alexis?!"

Her head snapped up from the desk immediatly, almost head butting Max's jaw in the process. Even the task of rubbing her eyes right now took more effort than she could spare. Shit, what time is it?! She realised she must've fallen asleep on the counter, but to her luck Max didn't seem all that bothered today.

"I never took you as the party all night kind of girl Lexi, oh... uh, did you return that guys purse?" She wondered if his smile could get any cheesier today, it wasn't like him to be in such a delightful mood. Maybe someone died... heh, reverse logic. She scooched back into the chair behind the counter and stretched into a loud yawn, in the event that Max ever asked her a question it was common proceedure to invent the most effective responce, even if it meant bending the truth alittle!

"Yes I returned it, that's why i'm sooooooo tired" she made sure to continue before he recieved a chance to ask her more "And before you ask why, he invited me in for 'coffee' as a thanks." Alexis happened to hate the use of air quotations to imply an ulterior meaning, it was a device Max offen used when trying to be "funny", but this time it was too good not to. Besides, she knew he'd believe it and she knew how he'd see it. In truth, she had recieved the offer of coffee and two sugars, but she'd ever been one to accept strange offers. Right now she couldn't decide whose expression was more amusing, her bosses of current or Luke's the night prior when she'd neglected his request for her number, stating 'you know where to find me'.

"oh, uh... umm... how nice." He was clearly lost for words. Perfect. Just the way I like my men. Silent.

"Damn, is that the time already? I've got an appointment to get to! Catcha later Max-y" A pleasant wink was always her 'get out of work free card'.



Miss Deguille placed the holofile infront of her and smiled in a way that could only send chills down ones spine, though what she was about to say probably assisted with that side effect. "The First Unitologist Centre of Knowledge is an excellent high school that's always looking for the next gifted addition to their already many amazing young adults" Unitology? Oh lord... "I know Adaline isn't currently a member of the church... but the recruitment center is only a short distance from here and well, I have no reason to believe they'd deny her a place, especially as her grandmother I believe was a vested among the church, yes?"

Alexis nodded bitterly, it was always a factor she didn't need reminding of and the one thing they'd never agreed on when her grandmother was alive. "Fine. We'll take it."

"Oh that's absolutely brilliant! Well if you've no further questions I'll send an application through on your behalf immediatly" The young woman stretched her hand out firm to shake and it took all of Alexis' stength to take it, she was only doing this for her sister, but the idea of it still bothered her.

Ada smiled more than she had done in a long time atleast, even going as far as to reward Alexis with a tight hug. It was nice. Yet it felt so wrong.
