For last_free_city but specify if you're running into KOS-MOS or Mary for prompts

[needtobecleaned]

(1a) 

[A valkyrie. How curious. A woman from ancient mythology on Lost Jerusalem. And she had approached KOS-MOS for assistance. The promise of wealth, power and fame held no interest for the android, but the promise of a universe save from outside threats was enough to convince her. Here on "Midgard" someone might find her walking through streets, checking shops or doing whatever except being friendly or talkative. She's mostly just scanning the area, making a map of the city and finding all of the points that would provide her an advantage to anything that came this way.

She doesn't expect anyone to approach her or speak with her. The crimson eyed android, without a single expression on her face, is rarely approached but by those she knows. Perhaps it's time to change that?]

(1b)

[Mary was confused, very much so, but that was to be expected. It was KOS-MOS's acceptance to come here that had brought her to Midgard. She wasn't the kind of person to fight, she hadn't raised a single sword when she and the Apostles resisted Wilhelm when he had been Emperor. Mary had fought with words and encouragement.

While in control, Mary would work on healing. She had already decided that before now. There were probably few people that would tell her no once they saw KOS-MOS in action. So here she is, walking to meet with other medics and very thankful for the nanomachines in KOS-MOS's body that allowed her to use Ether. And she was more than happy to offer examples of how it worked.]


(2a)

[KOS-MOS was raising her arm, the shape changing into that of a small cannon and firing a blast of energy. Few could ever hope to resist this type of attack unless they were similar to the Testaments. That is but one of the weapons at her disposal as she brings her F-SCYTHE out, using her Transfer System, and slicing it across the chests of approaching enemy.

It was probably one of the most formidable weapons she had at her disposable besides her Phase Transfer cannons. One of many, really.]

(2b)

[Mary hates fighting. Hates it with a passion. Blood spilling, lives ending, voices begging for help, to be spared or to be killed mercifully. It's through mercy that she kills people now, avoiding outright combat. Eyes with a shade of blue to challenge her hair gaze across the battlefield, wanting to cry for all the death all the people being hurt.]

(3a)

[There's a pod-like object where KOS-MOS is living. Big enough to fit an adult inside, with many wires around it providing power and a slight glow to the top of it. Inside, KOS-MOS sleeps. The Angel of Vector as she was once called before T-elos was built and they attempted to scrap her.

Yet now, KOS-MOS is far superior to the darker skinned android. Anyone that approaches with awaken the android.]

(3b)

[Mary didn't like the feeling of being confined in the maintenance bed. Which was why she liked riding the Monocycle so much. It's a freeing feeling, being able to ride so fast and fly through the air. And it's so effortless for her and for KOS-MOS. This was built for them, after all.]

3a!

[ Wilhelm has always felt a quiet sense of pride when it came to KOS-MOS, moreso after she proved to be able to defeat T-elos. Despite being officially KOS-MOS's enemy, Wilhelm had been standing near her maintenance pod, his hands crosses behind his back.

Wilhelm never disliked Mary, nor did he hold it against KOS-MOS being so loyal to Shion. It was natural, and Wilhelm was fully aware of KOS-MOS's ability to form bonds; it was something Kevin was always bragging about before his death. Wilhelm patiently waited for the android to awaken. ]

[needtobecleaned]

[And awaken she did. Any scratches or more serious damage from the latest battle were gone, the android back in pristine condition. The top of the pod lifted open and to the side, giving KOS-MOS the chance to sit up and look at Wilhelm with mild curiosity.

It wasn't everyday that one found Vector's CEO waiting for her.]

Wilhelm. [A slight nod in recognition as she stepped out and the bed closed in response.]

[oforder]

Good morning, Mary.

[ It was KOS-MOS. Well, that's fine. Wilhelm could talk to Mary later. He didn't take nearly as much time admiring one of Vector's crowning achievements as he would like. ]

Did you sleep well?

[needtobecleaned]

Good morning.

[A quick system check followed, barely taking more than a few moments, and then she nodded. Sleeping well simply meant that she was working properly, to her.]

All systems are now operating within acceptable parameters.

[oforder]

Excellent. Kevin has yet to let me down.

[ A statement that reveals more than it seems. Wilhelm knows full well that he will, he just hasn't done it yet. Wilhelm looks KOS-MOS over for a moment, but not as someone checking over a machine for flaws; more like a spectator admiring a priceless work of art. ]

It is interesting that you seem to trust me. Is it only because of my status as Vector's CEO?

[ Wilhelm still doesn't know about the different timelines. Even the Compass doesn't tell him that much. ]

[needtobecleaned]

Between Kevin Winnicotts', Allen Ridgeleys' and Shions' efforts, I am sure that they have not.

[There is a slight curious tilt of her head as he looks her over. She was used to this from most Vector employees but this was... almost strange.]

I have no reason to distrust you, sir. Despite Vectors attempt to dispose of me, I am still loyal to all Vector employees, as I was initially programmed.

[oforder]

[ Well, Wilhelm wouldn't go that far. Shion and Allen have been rather uncooperative lately.

Wait, wait-- no reason not to distrust him? Even with her programming, she'd at least be able to express disapproval of everything he's done. Does she... does she not know yet?

Wilhelm narrowed his eyelids a bit, examining her a bit closer. ]

What is the last thing that you remember before arriving here, KOS-MOS? And be honest.

[needtobecleaned]

[They rebuilt KOS-MOS though. More than worthy of approval.

She was a bit confused though, as to why he was asking the question. And curious about why he specified that she answer honestly. She'd never lied before now.]

With my friends, I defeated T-elos and then we defeated Kevin Winnicott.

[oforder]

I see.

[ Wilhelm relaxed his expression; well, that is to say, he removed any hint of suspicion from it. He may have even looked somewhat relieved; a rarity, as Wilhelm rarely shows any form of emotion. ]

It is good that you arrived. I will be needing you soon, if you would be willing to cooperate.

[betterwithglasses]

[ The maintenance pod was certainly a familiar shape to Shion. And where there is a maintenance pod, there must be a certain android. Of course she'll not know for sure, until she approaches, so approach she does. ]

Shiooooon <3333333

[needtobecleaned]

[Well Shion, have an android waking up and the pod opening for her to step out. Her final frame was completely intact, no scratches or tears or huge chunks of her missing.]

Good morning, Shion.

[Her voice isn't as flat as it was when Shion first saw her awaken on the Woglinde or handed her over, there's definitely a more gentle tone to it now. Perhaps even affectionate.]

KOS-MOOOOOOOOOS <333333333333 X INFINITY

[betterwithglasses]

[ That's... certainly different. Not bad though! Not by a long shot. Her not-daughter being able to emulate even a little bit more than she used to was a great accomplishment. ]

Good morning, KOS-MOS!

[ She smiled warmly for the android, as affectionately as her voice was. ]

How are you feeling today? Did you sleep well?

I'VE BEEN BEATEN

[needtobecleaned]

All systems are operating in acceptable parameters. All damage from previous battles have also been repaired.

[In other words, she's feeling good and slept great. And she look genuinely happy to see Shion, a smile crossing her lips before scanning her to make sure she's in good health.

... Odd that she's not suffering those headaches or passing out. Odd but not at all missed.]

Shion, you are alright?

OOPS XD

[betterwithglasses]

[ At least the scan will show that the disease hasn't progressed as far as it did later on. She's still pretty healthy - not even really showing any symptoms, actually. ]

Yes, I'm fine. [ She still looks distracted though - if only because of KOS-MOS' current appearance. No, she has to ask. ]

KOS-MOS, I've been meaning to ask you - your current body...

I SUPPOSE I can let someone win this once since it's SHION FREAKIN' UZUKI

[needtobecleaned]

[A quick self-diagnostic follows when Shion says that. Finding nothing wrong, she tilts her head just a fraction of an inch.]

There is no damage that I can detect. Perhaps my diagnostics are faulty?

[Nope, hasn't caught the point yet.]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE <3 You can get the next one :D

[betterwithglasses]

Well... it's possible, but not exactly what I meant. If you're feeling strange, I can run a diagnostics check.

What I actually meant is - you had a different build when we ... left you on Second Miltia. Did they give you a complete upgrade? [ Oh, if only. ]

<33333 Yay! :3

[needtobecleaned]

I am feeling alright, Shion.

[KOS-MOS shook her head, just once, and watched Shion.]

It has been over a year since I was last on Second Miltia. My current frame was designed and built by yourself, Allen Ridgeley and the Professor after T-elos destroyed my Black Box components.

[Thank goodness there's no need to mention that she was thrown in the trash pile too.]

.....3a

[want_a_vacation]

*It was so strange seeing KOS-MOS again, after she'd stayed behind to help chaos. But it was a good strange. Sitting in the room and watching the pod, he couldn't help but smile as he waited for the android to wake up.*

XD You are all creepers, watching Kossy sleep!!

[needtobecleaned]

[It didn't take long for the pod to open and for KOS-MOS to climb out. She glanced towards Allen, just a bit curious. Why was he waiting and what for?]

Good morning, Allen.

What, you expect to see Allen on the battlefield? (Or find him in a crowd...)

[want_a_vacation]

*Can't he just want to see an old friend he thought was gone?*

Good morning, KOS-MOS. How are you feeling?

No but you're all WATCHING HER SLEEP

[needtobecleaned]

[Nothing wrong with that. It's just that it's KOS-MOS and she isn't aware that she was considered "gone" just yet.]

All systems are operating in acceptable parameters and my power cells are completely charged.

He was impatient for her to wake up, okay?

[want_a_vacation]

That's good. With how different the technology here is, I was a little worried that it might not be able to run your maintenance bed properly.

Oh fine!

[needtobecleaned]

I have managed to adapt it appropriately. There would preferably be a more effective manner of doing so, since the Valkyrie had to have been aware that I require different forms of care than humanoid lifeforms.

[The Valkyrie had to be aware and prepared, after all. Or KOS-MOS would be of very little use here.]

[want_a_vacation]

I guess I was just being paranoid. To be honest, all of this still feels a little bit like a dream after everything that happened.

[needtobecleaned]

I assure you, this is not a dream. I am incapable of doing such a thing. I promise you that we will return home soon enough.
