<Time: Well Before Cyn's Massacre>

Thunder roared throughout the skies as lightning lit up the skies. Rain poured down over the streets of some city on Earth (before its collapse).

Walking down the streets, completely ignoring the rain pouring down on him was a man, roughly in his early twenties.

In one arm was an umbrella but he held it out over a drone that was walking next to him.

The drone looked up at the man, who paid no mind to the world around him. The drone looked at the man's waist and noticed a silver glint and grew slightly suspicious.

The man felt the staring from the drone and peaked down at it.

Man: Something on your mind?

The drone looked up at him before looking away again, folding its arms. The man sighed at the slight stubbornness of the drone.

Man: You are free to speak your mind, you know. I don't give a rats ass what the higher-ups say.

The drone looked back up at the man, this time speaking.

Drone: Why did you choose me? Why not any of the others?

The drone spoke with a slight feminine tone as the man looked down at her.

Man: Not like I really had a choice, you know. Boss said to take you out to....whats the word....oh, "observe" you and whatnot.

The drone looked at the man with slight confusion.

Man: They say you and uh, forty-eight or whatever the other ones called are special.

Drone: You sound like you don't care?

Man: I don't get paid enough to care. I'm just a courier. Tch, sometimes I wish I stayed at the Mansion.

The man and drone walked up to an apartment complex. The man led the drone through the complex before entering a small apartment near the top floor.

The two entered the apartment and the drone took in how small the apartment actually was. It was a simple one bedroom with the living room acting as the dining room, a small kitchen with the bathroom connected to the bedroom (not that the bathroom would be much use to the drone).

Man: Yeah, I know. It ain't much but yet again, cheap pay.

Drone: Thought you were a courier? Why am I staying here?

Man: I don't know. They told me to take you out for a while and they'll give me a call when to drop you off at the new location.

The drone watched as the man walked into his room and closed the door for a moment, as he changed into dry clothes.

The man exited his room as the drone was seen looking around the apartment. The man sat on the couch as the drone still looked around.

Man: So....you got a name or designation?

The drone looked back at him.
