Well thankfully surviving a zurk attack I take a look at my new environment it was a really long alley way with some street lights I started walking forward with the cat following behind.

Not that far ahead I saw someone no a robot? Oh a companion I remember them I never saw one in person though that must mean there isn't any zurks here what a relief.

As I approched the companion it turned it's head and saw me visibly jumping up in surprise when I was standing Infront of it I waved.

"Hi me and my frie-" I was cut off when the companion jumped again when it spotted the cat making some frantic sounds it grabbed my arm and slammed a button causing red flashing lights and a alarm to go off.

"Hey wait!" I don't know of the companion can understand or was too scared since it dragged me into another alley and locked a the gate causing the cat to meow at the companion.

It quickly backed away and grabbed me again to drag me off with no effort I continued to try and tell them the cat was my friend and to let me go when we got to this garage the companion let me go to run in but gestured for me to follow but I only shook my head.

Another companion with a hat and staff turned to me with a shocked face I guess it makes sense the drone did say I'm pretty much last of my kind but the companion must have understood I wasn't going in and proceed to close the garage gate and push me behind it thankfully the cat climbed up the stairs and meowed seemingly happy to find me.

"Wait the cat isn't gonna hurt anyone don't hurt it!" Are they really this scared of a little kitty huh talk about ailurophobia...

The companion crouched down and the cat approched it I ran over to the kitty and gave them a pat to show they weren't a threat the companion had a small loading screen on the side of his well... Screen.

"You are no zurk" wait so they do speak!?

"This must be the guardian huh last I remember the companions developed their own language the guardian must have downloaded English for you human" the drone explained wait so companions can just download any language? Okay wait that does make sense I guess it chose English since it's the most well known language.

"You are welcome as long as you don't eat anyone and you... You are a soft one?" The Guardian pointed to me standing now.

"Soft one? Uh I guess" is that how they referred to humans? Weird.

"You are also welcomed are there more of you?"

"From what I'm told no I'm the last" don't think about it you don't need to think about it yet just keep cool the Guardian let out this really loud noise causing the alarms to turn off the garage door opened and some companions walk out.

"I see you are injured we may not have much but you can take whatever you need in there" Guardian pointed to the garage with some more companions sleeping from what it looks like.

"Thank you I only need something to wrap over it" I carefully walk in trying to not bump into anyone and wake them.

"You gave us all quiet the fright little one" one of the robots say to the cat, looking around I found some bandages I didn't think companions need this I was expecting just some cloth but I ain't complaining.

"Oh they have bandages that's perfect too bad we can't find disinfectant but I doubt it will get infected as long as you bandage it up quickly" the drone did a small backflip in the air.

I gave the drone a nod and quickly got to work with wrapping the wounds the small cat tapping my leg as it's own way of helping.

"Uh hey little drone does the kitty have a name?" I'd rather not keep calling the cat kitty.
