"Hey, don't you think about it. I just might make you clean it up.", Jennifer said with a feigned stern demeanor as she pointed at the girl in her bed. Even though she wasn't really upset or serious, she didn't want Raina to actually do lewd things in her bed. After speaking, she began to walk to the exit, turning around to face Raina once she reached the door.

"I'll see you soon, okay? I've gotta make sure the others aren't killing each other.", she jokingly said.

Upon hearing Alex's question, Jason stopped feeling the unpainted portion of his armor and went still for a moment. Jason contemplated whether or not to confirm Alex's assumptions, and eventually decided that saying such could not hurt. After all, Jason had already shown plenty of evidence that such a thing was the case. After a moment, Jason turned his head to look over his shoulder and gave a small nod before speaking.

"Yea. My blood has been almost entirely replaced by nanomachines. It allows me to regenerate and adapt to things while still functioning like normal blood.", Jason finally said. Such knowledge may have not made much medical sense to Alex or Misaka, but perhaps Shiroji would understand the gravity of such a statement.

With everyone going inside the submarine, Samantha had already loaded herself with whatever ammunition was left, same with her weapons and Sarah's "Don't do something silly, we are already in trouble." #34 warned, but also knew it wasn't necessary, and with that, she jumped off the Pigeon.

Already securing her own equipment, Lynchwood held what looked like an usb stick and docked it "Alright, everyone is out, just give me the signal to pull you out." the blonde took off her seatbelt, seeing how the remaining lights of the pilot's system were being shut down. The screen was now the last thing active, with the words "[BEACONS FIRING] followed by a [NOW].

Taking the stick out, Sarah ran to the ramp and jumped out of the ship, seeing how the beacons were being launched at random directions, and the Pigeon started flying to its last stop, in a matter of minutes, the ship would send its own signal to mix with the others.

Now im the submerging vessel, everyone would be on a bus sized room, where a small boat and two water bikes were secured, there was a hatch to the central area of the submarine, which opened and revealed an android, his optical slit light up at the sight of everyone, already scanning for any injuries or bugs "Welcome aboard ladies and gentlemen, I hope your journey was productive." he spoke with a mexican accent.

Samantha was scratching off some dirt from her helmet as she answered "Oh you are going to like it Edward, it was magical." her sarcasm was obvious.

Having watched her brother jump down, little senna decided to follow in her brothers footsteps and.... LEAP OF FAITH! she was quick to land properly before getting quickly into the submarine, keeping her lovely sniper close to hand. She seemed almost flawless in the execution, but her thoughts were consumed with different reasons they would keep an AI such as her activated after all these years. It haunted her throughout her movements as well, showing that if someone was to look even a tad bit more closely, her movements were somewhat more stiff, more slower than her usual upbeat demeanor, even if they were the exact same movements.

Erica was very confused from how this person was acting, so much so that she almost dropped her guard. "Erica." Is all she said. She knew if she didn't grab the card she would look suspicious to him more. She then takes it very quick and precise before murmuring a thanks and walking out of the resteraunt to examine the card the strange man gave her.

The creature tilted it's head once more as Trace's arms approached. It slightly recoiled but accepted it as it seemed to be of no harm to them. It was more warmth. It was pleasant, so they simply embraced it and barely moved as they were lifted up. They gazed around at their scenery. Everything suddenly seemed a lot smaller. This change in perspective disoriented the creature somewhat, but it adjusted quickly as it nestled within Trace's arms like some kind of blanket.

When the creature confirmed it wished to go with her, Trace felt relief sweep over her. The portion of her near the barrier within her Encephalon watched as these feelings streamed out of the mysterious area. What is this place? And how long has it been here? Why is it injecting these emotions into my actions? The myriad of questions that stemmed from this discovery were set aside for the moment. "Let's go, then." She reached down to pick up the small creature as her Aether Wing module folded into one booster pack. "It'll be faster if I carry you, little one."

The machine watched the glowing fellow dive into a car's backseat, before looking back to Koi.

"Shall we, then?" the machine asked.

Koi took off her pack, pulling out what appeared to be a twin-blade of some description, one long end like a sabre, the other a shorter dagger-like end.

The machine tilted it's head at this, but Koi nodded. "You's first."

"So be it." it replied. It moved immediately after saying that, breaking into a flurry of jabs towards Koi without hesitation. The former Infinite ducked and weaved by, forcing the machien back with their shoulder before firing a few shots into the staggered robot. It's numerous blades intercepted three of the four shots, the fourth impacting into it's upper chassis, making a solid dent in it's armour.

"Subject has superior reaction times and strength comparative to a standard human subject. Marking for further observation." the machine spoke somewhat distantly as it leapt into action again.

The machine dived down with incredible speed, however Koi dived to the side, putting another shot into one of it's arms. A slight spark erupted, but it swiveled and lunged forth, a mixture of slashes and stabs erupting towards their unarmored body. Koi pocketed the gun and split the blade in an equally fast display, intercepting several of the blades, though one cut through their shirt and set it slightly ablaze. Koi grit their teeth and responded with a flurry of their own, two blades intersecting with the machine's six.

The machine slowly backpedaled as she pushed forward, suddenly kicking into it's body and lunging forward, skewering through it's upper body with the larger blade before disabling one of it's arms, thrusting their leg forward to wrench the blades from it's body as it staggered once more.

"Subject's weaponry make is unknown, capable of deflecting plasma blades with ease and penetrating reinforced titanium composite. Impressive work." the machine said despite losing an arm. It's tail's end extend with a spike, shooting towards Koi faster than most eyes could see. But not Koi. Her blades came up defensively, stopping the tail before cutting into it in one swift motion. Sparks flew as the tail's end was severed, and Koi took the small opportunity to pat out the fire on their shirt.

"I's can say the same with whoever made you's. You's sure you're not military?" Koi spoke with a slightly heavy breath.

"Affirmative, ma'am." the machine curtly responded before retaliating with another volley of swings. Koi continued defensively, backing up as the torrent of knives continued trying to poke holes in their defenses. "Subject shows extreme skill with melee weaponry. However, data affirmed that you were a sniper unit?"

"Design is more adaptable than you's think. Besides, can't be defenseless if someone sneaks up on ya'." Koi replied, barely getting scraped by one of the blades on her arm. It did not cut through as it should, but rather burned away their pale skin, revealing metal.

As the machine processed this, Koi suddenly revealed their ace in the hole. One of their hands arched upwards, and cable shot out very, very fast, wrapping around the machine's right arms before their visual processors realized such. The cables pulled, stopping the attempt to cut free, only for their legs and lower two left arms to also be held.

Then, the cables opened. Razors emitted outwards as Koi tightened their cable's grip. The wires retracted, cutting into and through the limbs. The arms were violently disconnected from the machine's chassis, and the legs were disabled as the cables retracted back into themselves.

A moment of silence hit the air before the machine spoke after being flipped over, one of Koi's legs firmly on their chest. "Subject has capabilities files did not detail. Cables stored in arms also double as potent cutting and dismembering tools. Very curious. And you were a sniper unit? That seems a waste of such capabilities, if I may speak honestly."

Koi sighed. "I's dun' wanna' kill people no more, fella. I's left tha' life behind."

Their singular red eye focused on them. "The incident you caused less than thirty minutes ago implies otherwise."

Koi glared at them heavily and the machine's eye refocused. "No insult meant. Simply looking at the data."

"Are we's done here, fella?" Koi asked.

"Yes. Data was extremely informative, along with the fact that it was nice to have an opponent who could keep up with me." the machine replied. "Give me a moment."

The glow of the machine's eye suddenly died, as another form appeared. Another robot, of very similar specifications. It's knives were sheathed, however.

"Now we may speak more formally." the machine replied as Koi simply tilted their head.

"I's will just ask the questions tha' matter right now. Who are you, who are your employers, and why are you so interested in Infinites?" Koi asked.

"All of which are good questions. However, it would be best if we left soon. It is likely those gunshots you fired were heard and I would not be surprised if police are coming here soon." the machine replied as another vehicle which drove out of the rows towards them. "I think this vehicle will work just fine for you, and you won't have to worry about others finding it's stolen. All you have to do is hear me out inside."

Koi thought for a moment, before looking over to where "Mr. Marshmellow" was hiding. "Do you want them to come?"

"It is up to you." the machine replied as the vehicle pulled up alongside them. "However, time is ticking."

As soon as the ramp of the Pigeon opened up as the aircraft lined up with the submersible vessel, 013 called out to his men, and Senna."Roger that. Alright men time to move out!" 013 replied as he quickly ran and jumped out of the Pigeon, with his men following suit. Fortunately they managed land on the submarine before quickly dropping down into the hatch. With 013 going down first, with his men following behind him, and hopefully Senna too.




California - resteraunt

The man took a deep breath in before giving a small sigh. Looks like he might have came on a little too strong...? Perhaps. Either way the woman's reaction was a bit disheartening. As she was leaving, Kazuma was about to go back to work. However the woman and her sister caught his attention as she spoke up again. It took a brief pause, as the look on his face actually showed a hint of surprise. It looked a tad comical when compared to his previous, more stern looking face. Especially with how he shook his head to refocus himself.

"The name is Nakamura, Kazuma Nakamura. You may call me Nakamura, but I feel as though that won't be likely to happen since you won't be applying here. Though if you ever chance your mind you know where to find this place. Would you like a business card in case you'd like to call ahead for an appointment with the manager?" He replied in a rather sincere, calm tone. He didn't sound as if he was lying about anything, and he sounded quite a bit calmer than before.



Sacramento | Impound Lot


The green man looked up at the mechanical... thing. This was what was stalking them? Some sorta robot bug? Even so this thing seemed quite intimidating.

As the robot and his friend Koi conversed with each other, the Green man just sorta looked at Koi. Even though he didn't have a actual face, you could almost tell he was a bit worried. At that moment he looked back up at their... opponent and said.

"Well I don't exactly like the phrase 'dispose of'. I ain't garbage, but I know when's a good time to hide soooo... I hope you can handle this Koi!" The Green Man spoke as he ran to the nearest car with a lowered window, which he promptly jumped into. Being sure to peak his head out a little too watch.

Project Esper | Jenny & Misaka's Bedroom

Raina couldn't help but giggle at the reaction she got from Jenny, both the physical and the mental one it gave her. "So the teaser has become the teased." She said with a bit of a goofy grin on her face. She pulled the covers over her cold body to warm them, smiling at how soft and warm they felt on her flesh. "Hey maybe after this we'll have something in common ey?"

Project Esper | Lab

Meanwhile Alex and Misaka just sat there, Misaka eating her sweets and Alex watching Jason as he worked. He had to admit, he was quite curious about this boy's armor The way it had repaired itself along with some of the abilities Jason had shown in the fight got him thinking. "Nano machines?" he finally asked.

[S121]

Project Esper | Jenny & Misaka's Bedroom

Jennifer seemed just a little flustered by what Raina had said. Of course it was only natural that Jenny would do such things, but it was still a rather personal matter. Besides, Jenny only "took care of things" a couple times on her bed...

"No fair.", Jennifer said. Raina could probably see a faint blushing on her face, but she didn't seem too upset by the teasing.




Project Esper | Lab

After everyone went about their business, Jason began to run diagnostics on his armor, quickly restarting the armor and flashing whatever equated to a BIOS for it. He ran quick systems checks to make sure everything was in working order, and even made an audit of all onboard devices and utilities. It took little time to find the beacons and trackers, and once he had isolated them, he ordered his nanomachines to sever the circuits. Alex, Shiroji, and Misaka may have noticed him slightly wincing, but there was little indication as to what was going on beneath the armor. After that, he went to surveying the damages to his armor. If Alex paid attention, he would have noticed the spaces he had ripped from Jason's armor were completely restored, as if nothing had happened at all. Meanwhile, Jason was fingering at where one of the holes in his chestplate used to be. There was still some repairs to be done on the finishing coat of the paint, but other than that, the armor was back at 100%.

After being plopped down on the bed, Raina rolled onto her back and stretched her limbs and nubs out as far as they would go. She let out a long and rather cute high pitched yawn yawn. After that she took a deep breath in through her nose and closed her eyes, slowly letting the breath exhale through her mouth. "Ahh so this is where Jenny does all her fapping."

Project Esper | Lover's Lab

Shiroji disconnected Misaka from the arm no long after that, knowing that trying to connect it the way Jason had described wouldn't be possible without their doctor, that and she didn't want to take the experiments THAT far. He could always try it on Raina later. Once free from the machine, Misaka walked over to the nearby mini fridge and opened it's doors, revealing that the entire thing was full of nothing bu chocolate snack bars and vitamin water. She took out one of the snack bars and sat next to Alex before taking a bite of her yummy treat. Alex meanwhile seemed to put his phone away as Misaka got closer, almost as if he didn't want her to see whatever was on there.

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.

Spoiler:

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."

Project Esper | Jenny & Misaka's Bedroom

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.

[Tewi_Inaba]

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

[S121]

Project Esper | Jenny & Misaka's Bedroom

"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.

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.
