(y/n)'s P.O.V.
It was morning, I don't know if I have slept or I have been spaced out, regardless I had gotten dressed in one of the few outfits I had taken with me, a (l/f/c) long sleeve t-shirt and black studded jacket, along with brown cargo pants and to tie up the outfit together grey closed-in shoes along with glasses. I had walked out and was greeted by Serval at her workshop. "Morning (fake/name), you ready?" She asked.

I nodded in both excitement and nervousness, I need to multitask multiple things, like trying to locate the signal jammer, while trying to blend in and to top it all off, not having my true identity slip to others with the exception of Serval. Well first thing's first I will be busy with being an apprentice for Serval. What she needed done, was nothing too difficult at first, just a little bit of tinkering, maintaining equipment and greeting customers, while we started doing some of these tasks I had decided to ask some questions to help pass the time: "Serval, if you don't mind me asking but, do you play an instrument?"

"Yes, I play the bass, as well as the vocals, why do you ask?"

"I am just curious, I mean, considering we don't know how long this... issue is going to last, and we might as well get to know each other, whether that'd be our hobbies, interesting facts about ourselves, just to name a few?"

"Hmm... ok, I have a few questions?"

"Go ahead, shoot."

"You arrived here on a ship correct?"

"I mean you're not wrong, but technically we had warp jumped, from a space station to Jarilo-VI in a space train, and came down from the space train to Jarilo-VI via a spaceship-like machine."

"Interesting. Ok my next question is where are you originally from?"

I halted myself, that is one question that I am going to have trouble explaining, the reason being that I don't actually know where I was originally from. Similar to March 7th, I wasn't on a planet, rather I was dormant on the spaceship until I had awaken by something in the atmosphere, however I do remember my name, in fact it was the last thing I remember before going dormant.

I sighed: "In terms of what planet I came from, I unfortunately cannot remember, there is an unknown reason as to why, whether that'd be my planet was blown to pieces? I was exiled from the planet at a young age? Heck, I could even be a descendant of a wanted criminal, but in terms of where I was found, my memory is really vague, but I was found on a spaceship, ironically the same spaceship we just came from."

"Oh, I am so sorry about that..."

"No, no, no, it's alright, afterall I have asked you rather personal questions, so I understand if you wanted to know where I am originally from? Anyway, ask another question?"

"Ok... How many journeys have you taken?"

"Well, I have seen my fair share, I would say I have been about 50 or so journeys from the time I have been 'active' if that makes sense?"

"I won't question, but I understand what you're trying to say."

We kept on chatting for a bit, I had found out that Cocolia and Serval used to be friends before Serval was forcibly resigned from the Architects. All because she wanted to see a stelleron and do a deeper analysis on the subject. Which in my opinion is a bit odd to forcibly resign, but I am not the one to judge. After we had finished maintaining all the equipment and other chores, someone came threw the door: It was Gepard.

"Well, hello there lil Geppie, how have you been?"

"Sis, I know you're older than me, but still... not really needed especially when there are other people around... wait a second, who are you?"
