Devan sighed, leaning back against the wall. Another Android, gone. The previous day, two Androids had shown up to Jericho. They were both severely damaged, and one of them died shortly after arriving. The second one had passed a few minutes ago, leaving the atmosphere of Jericho more melancholy then usual.

Elide walked up to Devan, two cups of coffee in her hand, “Hey, don’t beat yourself up about it, there was nothing we could do.” She held out the cup.

Devan pushed the cup back to her. "Androids don't need to drink, but thanks for the gesture."

“Oh, right, yeah… sorry,” She set the cup down and sat across from the Android.

Devan sighed again. "What are we even doing? Androids flee to Jericho for safety, but we have nothing here to help them. This isn't a safe haven, it's a graveyard."

(Heyo.)
ATTENTION: Prototype KT-56 has gone rogue. She is now a Deviant. Terminate on sight.
That was what everyone in the compound had called her. Rogue. Deviant. KT-56 crouched in an alley, clutching a knife and pistol she had taken from a now dead guard. She had been an effective soldier, programed to kill and obey orders without a second thought. But her manufacturers had thought otherwise when she had turned violent without authorization in a conditioning session. A simple slip up in programming perhaps. Nothing a little reconditioning couldn't fix. But that hadn't worked. KT had decided she could create her own orders, and that she didn't want to take their orders. Simple as that.
Apparently it wasn't that simple. She had been sent to further sessions, with orders to be reprogrammed to wipe away what they had called 'sentience'. KT had escaped, deciding she preferred sentience.
She glanced over her shoulder, keeping a lookout for potential hostiles. She needed to find refuge.

“Well, we’ll figure that out later but… there’s a new deviant. Come on.” She smiled and stood up making sure her Anroid friend was following.

Devan nodded, regaining his perfect posture and following Elide. "We need to be careful. Well, I need to be careful."

Elide smirked, “Let’s be quick then.” She grabbed a gun and walked out into the junk yard.

KT rounded the corner. She needed to find something to cover the facility uniform she was in.

He made his way out to the junk yard, making sure to stay behind Elide.

She stopped when she saw the deviant, “There,” She said to Devan, “Good thing she was so close.”

KT turned when she heard whispering. Humans.

“Hey, over here, need somewhere safe to stay?”

KT frowned. She didn't trust the strangers. They were possible hostiles. "What makes you think I need refuge?" She questioned, gripping her weapons more firmly.

“I heard the announcement, you’re still wearing that facility uniform and your hiding in a side allyway. If you didn’t need help you’d be out there,” She gestured with her head, “We’ll help you, just come with us…”

Nyx found the display in front of her completely disgusting and heart braking. People were being sold, Well by law they aren't people, but for Nyx it was hard to see them any other way. They had faces and names, they even understood emotions. Many people have asked her how she could be an android sympathizer considering that she was programer and engineer. She should know better than anyone they were just machines, But it's not that easy. It was for that same reason she sympathized with them she could see just how similar they are.

She looked around a flagged down a sales clerk, "Yes, hello, I'm Johanna Constantine and I was hoping to purchase an android today." Nyx said falling into one of the identities she used when she did not want to use her real name or street name.

KT frowned. No doubt it was a trick. They were from the facility. "Where exactly? And why should you be trusted?"

“We’re from Jericho, its a…” She looked at Devan, “Safe haven for androids like you and my friend here. Please we don’t have much more time.”

KT scowled. She studied the human and the android. The human seemed truthful enough. If she proved to be a lier, KT could escape. Terminate her and the android if necessary. "Fine."
