Location: Kolt and Anastasia's Apartment
Day: May 29th, 2042
Time: 1:00 pm

The murderer was still not found, some police officers were considering this to be a closed case, even Connor admitted to Violet that the man may never be found. Violet was a little upset by this, but understood that there wasn't much the DPD could do. So for now, it was considered a cold case.
I just wish there was something I could do... Violet thought, worry and guilt consuming her entire being. Worry for that man hurting others and guilt for her family's murder not being avenged. She was so out of it that she didn't even notice her brother putting her tea on his coffee table.

Anastasia then sighed loudly, bringing Violet back to reality.
"It's a shame that they won't catch him." Anastasia said aloud, talking to no one in particular as she sipped her tea (I think I'm forgetting that most of these characters are androids... oops!).
"Hmm. Maybe it's for the best." Kolt mumbled, as he sipped his own tea, sitting beside Violet and putting his arm over the couch. Suddenly, Violet's LED became yellow.
"What is it?" Anastasia questioned putting down her tea, as she knew it was probably a message.
"It's from Markus. He wants me to come to Jericho." Violet explained with a curt nod before getting up.
"Oh ok, well-well, come back soon!" Anastasia calls out to Violet as she leaves the apartment.

Location: Jericho
Time: 1:30 pm

Violet went into Jericho and looked around for Markus. She turned to find Willow and Carl instead.
"Hey, is your dad here?" Violet asked. Willow shrugged and Carl said "he should be."
"There you are." Violet jumped and turned to see Markus in front of her.
"You wanted to see me?" She questioned with a small smile as a greeting.
"What do you know of Lexi Spencer?"
"Lex? She's... an old family friend." Violet stated awkwardly as Markus glanced at Violet suspiciously before continuing.
"I want you to find her. See what she knows."
"About what?"
"Our kind, I want to see if we can ally her." Violet smirked.
"I'm sure she'll join our cause. She is the 'Painter of Androids' after all." Violet replied cooly before leaving.

Location: Lexi Spencer's Glass Mansion/Art Studio
Time: 1:34 pm

Violet arrived at Lexi's home.

On her 20th birthday, the day of the Android Revolution, Lexi's parents kicked her out, not willing to except Androids as people. So, she moved to a new place, sold her paintings on the side, til eventually she became the top artist in Detroit at the young age of 23.

Violet stared up at the glass mansion in awe. It truthfully was a spectacle to behold, surrounded by lush green grass. Like the garden of Eden. Violet rang the futuristic doorbell on a tablet that was connected to the door.
"Ashely can you get that?" Lexi's voice was crystal clear in Violet's synthetic ears.

Violet admired the mansion a little more before the door was opened by an RT600 model (Just think of Chloe) named Ashely, who was Lexi's girlfriend and her muse for her paintings. Ashley blinked, her LED turning from yellow to blue in seconds as she realized that it was Violet and not some stranger.
"Violet! It's so good to see you!!" Ashley exclaimed happily, pulling Violet into an unexpected hug that Violet reciprocated.
"Hey Ash! How are you?" Violet questioned as she pulled out of the hug.
"I'm fantastic!!" Ashley replied with a big smile, making Violet laugh. Ashely was the opposite of Violet, optimistic and hopeful for the future. Violet was a lot more cynical and didn't think that the few bigots could be changed.
