"I-I can let people vividly relive a memory, I can do that bullet blocking thing...kinda reliably, I can uhh make barriers, I can umm....I can teleport, but that takes a lot out of me if I do it too fast or too many times in a row and I need to be able to focus."

[b]He sighs even heavier, looking actually frustrated at this point. He looks back up at her, his eyes suddenly bright. He clearly had an idea.[/b] “I know what you can do. I want you to meet my little robot, and be friends with her. Maybe she’ll get off my ass if she has a friend.”
-
"Make a friend?" She asked, confused. "Sure? That's not too hard. I'm just glad you're not a man with a sick mind..."
-
“I have enough money to buy any woman I want, I wouldn’t have to ask you for something. I’d just have gone somewhere else. Follow me, I’ll lead you to my droid. Her name is Rian. It’s an acronym for some bullshit, I dunno.” [b]He began to walk off, a little deeper into Dojoville.[/b]
-
"Oh...that works, I guess." Silver was just happy she didn't have to as she followed behind.
-
[b]Eventually, they would reach a black cylindrical ship, and Theodynn would open the hatch.[/b] “Head on in.”
-
"Umm...not sure if I really trust walking into a random ship...sorry." She hesitated, getting nervous.
-
“She literally can’t leave. She’s hooked up to some computer in there and I can’t get her out. If I could’ve, I’d bring around my fancy ship. I’ll keep the hatch open the whole time. If you want, get somebody else you know to make sure I don’t close it or some shit.”
-
Silver sighed, walking in. "No, it's fine. I'll be forced to trust you, I guess."
-
“I just want her to stop getting on my ass every time I do something wrong. I thought the easiest way to do that would be get her a friend. If you can think of another way to do that, be my guest.”
-
"I don't know anything about this, so your guess is as good as mine."
-
“Then I guess we’re stuck with the friend thing. Like I said, you can go get someone to keep watch if you want.”
-
"Just show me where she is, please?" Silver looked around the ship.
-
[b]The ship wasn’t very big, there was just a cockpit and a space behind it, which held an elflike android hooked up to hundreds of cords. The droid would turn to face Silver.[/b] “[i]Who are you?[/i]”
-
"Hello!" Silver gave the android a friendly smile. "I go by Silver. What's your name?"
-
“[i]Rian. Why are you down here?[/i]” [b]Rian was blazing across several keyboards and consoles, sorting hundreds of things and programming several different things at once.[/b]

"Someone said you need a friend." She sat down on the floor. "Why are you typing so fast?"

“[i]I’m Theo’s stockbroker, accountant, lawyer, advertiser, marketing department, planner, valet, and only friend. I’ve got about a million different things going on right now, all of them his fault because he doesn’t bother to do anything besides the merc work itself. But... Yes, I suppose I do need a friend. Theo doesn’t count, I have to be his friend or he can just turn me off.[/i]”
-
She giggled, nodding. "Yeah, he sounds like that kind of guy. I don't know anything about the jobs you do."
-
“[i]I wish I could get a break for once... It’s so much pressure all the time... I don’t think he gets that I’m actually sentient and that I have feelings, he just treats me like property.[/i]”
-
"Like a slave? Well, I sadly can't do anything to stop that since all he seems to care about is money and...I've got nothing. I may not be able to free you, but I can try to be your friend."
-
“[i]Thank you. Well... What do you like to do for fun? I don’t get time for fun, so it’ll be nice to know what you guys do.[/i]”
-
"I sing and play the acoustic guitar! I also...hangout with people? That's about it. I haven't been free for too long."
-
“[i]That’s nice... Wait. What do you mean you haven’t been free for long? Was it a situation like mine or something different?[/i]”

"I was sort of in someone's head because of a ery long story that has to do with my race being exterminated in a genocide." She sighed. "I'm not going to explain it, sorry."
