AI Hunter Chronicles: Energized (Season 1)

Episode 38: The Man In Blue

Samantha Keeling Enterprises Building, Nashville, Tennessee Territory, Lower Canada

We cut to Hyperion helping Herberto with some of the work in the repairs area.

Hyperion and Herberto are working in the back on a broken down SKE Suit while they talk. Hyperion looks up cheerfully at his supervisor

Hyperion: So, any plans for this weekend?

Herberto: Same as you bro, going to the Innovation Contest that the company is hosting.

Hyperion: laughing Yeah, but I don't mean work man. Are you going to do anything for real this weekend. Hang out, try to find a date.

He says all this in a half joking manner, while he continues working.

Herberto: Honestly, I should. I am getting pretty lonely. Speaking of people who seem to be lonely, your little guardian angel is watching you again.

Hyperion laughs out loud and almost drops the tool he is holding. He looks out of the workshop and sees Quinn staring at him outside the glass wall.

Hyperion: lowering his voice a bit She is not my guardian angel, in fact, she does not even like me that much.

Herberto: Riiiiiight, like how she follows you everywhere? Come on, have you never watched a romantic movie? The unspoken relationship man.

He turns to look at Herberto and raises an eyebrow quizzically.

Hyperion: Are you saying that it's some kind of trope that the cute security guard likes the clumsy technician and is just pretending to dislike him?

He says the last part a little sarcastically

Hyperion knows, thanks to his private talk with her, that he is one of the few people she trusts.
Herberto: I know that last month I told you that she was bad news, but I'm starting to see why you look at her the way you do.

Hyperion looks away from Herberto sheepishly, feeling that his little crush is being a bit obvious.

Hyperion: Look, yeah, I kind of like her, she is cute. And she is nice once you get to know her. But she is also cold and distant, and I highly doubt she sees me as anything more than a colleague.

Herberto: Maybe, but I know eyes, and for some reason, she wants you right now.

He looks towards where he saw Quinn outside of the room again.

Hyperion: Yeah, I saw it, but... maybe she just need to watch the workshop, you know? To make sure nothing suspicious happens.

Herberto: No, I mean, she's trying to get your attention so you can have a little conversation with her.

Hyperion turns his head back with surprise.

Hyperion: Wait, what. She is. He looks towards the window again No, come on. That's not true is it, man? If she had something to say, wouldn't she come in here? Instead of just standing out there trying to catch my attention like this.

Herberto: I don't know. Maybe it's something she doesn't want to share?

Like the sabotage thing, Hyperion thinks.

Hyperion thinks about it for a moment.

Hyperion: I guess you may be right... should I... Should I go and see what she wants?
