Project Esper | Bedroom Hallway
Raina rolled up to the door to Jenny and Misaka's room, a giddy smile on her face. "Hm. I'll see you when I wake up okay?" she said waiting for Jenny to open the door her her. Unlike the door to her own bedroom this one wasn't quite so easy to open from where she sat.

Alex was keeping a closer watch on Jason now that he was reloading his weapons, however he did it in a rather clever way. While he pretended to give his phone all his attention, he actually had his camera pulled up and had the phone aimed in just the right angle so that he could look down at his phone and see everything Jason was doing, all while Jason being none the wiser. Misaka and Shiroji kept running tests on the new arm, trying to get it in perfect working order. If Jason were paying attention he might have found out why they were making the arm. As it turned out they were making it for that crippled girl with telepathy

"Alright. I'll help you into bed, but then I'm going to go check on the others, ok? As much as I'd like to stay, I should probably make sure they're all getting along.", Jen said as she maneuvered past Raina and reached for the door. She then opened it and gestured for the little telepath to come inside.

Jason was rather quickly reloading his weapons and despite his speed, he exhibited machine-like precision. It took all of 20 minutes to finish reloading all of his weapons, but once he was done, he looked about again to get a bearing on his surroundings. From behind him he could see Alex playing on his phone. He seemed much like Jason was a few minutes ago, not too worried about his surroundings. To his left, it seemed that the scientist and and to his left was the scientist from before and the electrokinetic girl that took his weapons. They still seemed to be running tests on the prosthetic hand, likely meant for the girl in the wheelchair he had met before. It seemed that they had at least worked out its basic mechanics and achieved the right amount of sensitivity, but as evidenced from before, they still had yet to make the hand's movements fully deliberate. If the others paid attention, they might have noticed that his head was turned a bit in their direction, though tilted a bit away as if to hide that he was watching for this brief moment.

Project Esper | Jenny & Misaka's Bedroom
Raina rolled inside once she was able and looked around the room. She had been in it many times before, but she always liked how it smelled of sweet strawberries thanks to the different scented items Misaka and Jenny kept in their shared room. "That's probably for the best. Thanks for going after Alex for me. don't tell him I said it but, I was really worried about him back there."" she said as she rolled herself up to the bed. Sh pulled the covers down for herself but she would need help placing herself in the bed itself.
Project Esper | Lab
Alex continued to watch Jason through the camera on his phone, occasionally tapping over to his music playlist to change songs so it looked like he was doing something. He was still rather relaxed at the moment, but he was ready to move at a moment's notice. Shiroji had been mostly trying to ignore Jason, but neither he nor Misaka could ignore it when they found his gaze upon them. Shiroji said nothing so as to not antagonize the boy, but Misaka was a bit bolder than he. Things were rather calm at the moment, so she didn't want to sound angry or rude when she spoke, with that in mind, she softened her voice. "Do you have something to say?" She asked in a rather soft and calm sounding voice.

((Sorry for the long delay, been having a hard time thinking of a post without a post from Lily, also I don't know when Lily will be posting again. Last she said she wasn't going to be posting this month for some reason that I forgot, so we can try and find a way to continue without her for the time being.))

013 was holding the wound on his arm before he let go. The pain was already beginning to fade, and besides... he's experienced much worse injuries before. So this one isn't that big of a deal to him for the most part. When he heard what Samantha had said, her command to Senna asking her to keep an eye on him, while he appreciates the gesture, he really doesn't feel like his injury warrants THAT much protection.
"My injury isn't that serious. Just a gunshot, but I do appreciate the concern. I assure you though that I'm in good enough condition to get moving once we're ready."
Sacramento | Impound Lot
After their little expedition in the sewers, Koi and the green man finally emerged, hopefully with no one actually following them... But that's just being optimistic at this point as the green man climbed out of the sewers and began looking around. While Koi was looking for a good enough car to use, the green fellow with her was busy scanning the area. Even without eyes he could still see... somehow. Either way he felt a very odd feeling right now. Not a good kind of odd either, in fact he feels as if they are being watched...

The gaseous man's 'gut' feelings were not wrong. Koi found a car that fit what they needed, but they paused before working to unlock it. They scanned the area, eyes flipping through vision modes.
"I know you're there." Koi spoke calmly. "I's can see you. I's dunno whether you're sentient, but..."
They pulled their firearm, aiming at the top of of the nearby vehicles. "I's hope tha' chassis is bulletproof, or you's get this over with."
A silence hung in the air for a time, before a form revealed itself. It was a machine, tall, far taller than either of the two. It's thin body was covered in a myriad of armored plates, their head staring outward with a single red eye, spinning as it focused firmly on the former Infinite. Six arms adorned it's vaguely humanoid body,each wielding a long knife, each edge glowing with plasma, volatile and extraordinarily deadly to a normal man. Lastly was it's tail, a long serrated thing, rippling with anticipation as the machine eyed it's supposed 'prey'.
"I suppose there is not point in hiding. I expected as much from an Infinite." the machine replied, a somewhat male human voice coupled with the whirring of a voicebox.
"And I's suppose you's the fella stalking us earliers... n' form the fact tha' you's not immidiately tryin' to skewer me, I's guess you's aren't from the government eithers?" Koi questioned.
"Correct and correct. My superior is quite interested in you, as well as the other Infinites. They wish to meet you..." the machine replied.
"But?" Koi finished.
"They wish to test your combat prowess first, if only to see such things firsthand." they replied.
"Hm." Koi merely responded. "I's guess no isn't an answer, right?"
The machine shook it's head. "Even if you refuse what she will offer you, she wants the data. It is important to gauge general attributes of Infinites."
"You's realize we all have some pretty different specifications, right?" Koi seemed slightly confused.
"Correct, but the data is needed." the machine replied. Koi glanced over to the green man with a touch of worry on their face.
"You leave me friend outta this." Koi spoke in a somewhat more serious tone.
"Of course, unless they intercede. In which case I will be forced to dispose of them, despite how... curious in composition they are." the machine replied, looking to the man in question.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

surprisingly, senna ignored his words, she was to focused on making sure every single bug was accounted for and destroyed. even to the point of taking apart her gun a tad bit before she felt safe enough to put her thumbs up and give out a very childish noise before continueing, she didn't have much to say on the matter. She was still kind of dissapointed and upset that her brother didn't have much else to say to her but annoyance, then again she has always known alot of her brothers and sisters to be downers and annoyed when on a mission with her, so that could be the case of they don't like her "persona" she puts on. "Ready when you are, Brother!"
California - resteraunt
Erica was not having it, even with his friendlier attitude. She came pretty close to storming back and telling this man off, knowing full well he could kill her. "It's okay. I can take care of myself mister.... uh..."she at least turned around to see him, realizing he never quite introduced himself.

"It's no problem. He may not really know it, but we all kind of worry for him.", Jennifer said as she knelt down with her arms out to Raina for her to grab onto, almost as if she was going in for a hug.
Project Esper | Lab
Despite being spoken to, Jason seemed rather silent, turning his head slightly more away as he thought about his next course of action. It seemed almost like forever before he responded, and even then, it seemed to be a rather closed off neutral tone of voice, no real eye contact, and no real emotional investment in what he said.
"The base of the skull... The hand moves both voluntarily and involuntarily because those electrodes are focused on the brain. If they're on the base of the skull along the spine, they'll read the signal already being sent to the arm...", Jason said before turning his head back to his guns.

Project Esper | Jenny & Misaka's Bedroom
Raina started trying to sit up, using her one arm and leg to push herself out of her chair. However given that both limbs were on the same side it would be very hard to do this while balancing. Luckily Jenny was there to help her.
Project Esper | Lab
Misaka's eye grew a tad wider and her mouth curved into a slight frown. She tilted her head as she looked at Jason, almost in disbelief that he was being helpful to her. She didnt' seem angry or upset, just surprised. "Oh uhh. Thank you." she responded a bit bashfully. If Jason were paying atttention he might havve noticed a slight pinkness on her cheeks.
Alex meanwhile continued to watch on from the camera in his phone, not speaking or giving them any attention

As Raina got out from her chair as best she could, Jenny took one arm and wrapped it around the girl's back, meanwhile taking her other and using it as a buttrest to hold Raina up.
"Upsy daisy, there we are.", Jen said as she lifted Raina and maneuvered her over to the bed. Once she was in position, Jennifer gently placed Raina down onto the bed and uncoiled her arms.
Project Esper | Lab
Jason did not turn his head back to the scientist and the little girl, but from what he could hear, the girl at least sounded grateful for the advice. He didn't really expect much from the exchange, just maybe a way to ease hostilities a little. He may not have entirely trusted them yet, but this little bit of help would be inconsequential and would likely go to helping the girl in the wheelchair.
With that, Jason decided now was the time to run some checks on his armor to see if there were any lasting damages, as well as see if there were any beacons that could be tracked back to him.

Waters of Cali
Finally the ship was close enough for its landing zone, with Lynchwood having quite the difficulty to control the Pigeon due to most of the equipment aid being deactivated or stopped so the counter atttack to the drones would keep them either busy or outright overload them with uneccessary data. That was when something came up from the water.
There was still no comunication from both the vessel and the now surfacing submarine, with the latter obviosly not having a landin pad due to its small size. This vessel would be enough for the people inside the Pigeon though.
The pigeon made a turn to have its ramp as close as possible to the submarine's hatch, with the ramp opening "Here is our second taxi people, we don't have much time." Samantha spoke as she put her helmet back on her head. "I won't let another brother and sister be lost in this unecessary war."
Meanwhile, Sarah was now making the preparations of sending the Pigeon to whatever place to detonate and just send random signals at any place. "Are the decoys ready Edward?" she asked the AI, which responded in a more natural voice, "The decoys are prepared, all having random intervals of sending signals, whoever is chasing us will have some good minutes of irritation. Now pull me out, I already made the preparations to send the ship on a desired path."
