WARNING: This chapter is really long and may make you sad

Location: Jericho
Day: June 28th, 2042
Time: 1:00 am

Most of the city of Detroit was asleep right now. The androids in Jericho, however, were wide awake. They didn't need sleep after all, but also feared that Roger would come after them. Of course, the humans that were there, Ottavia, Lexi and Willow asleep. And Alice, too was asleep. The new YK700s, named Molly, Farrah (who were sisters, Molly had yellow hair and Farrah had black hair) were asleep as well. There were also the other 12 androids who's names were: Yui, Rebexi, Natalya, Arielle, Herlee, who were all females and then there were the other eight male androids: William, Gayge, Zavr, Danom, Conrad, Ragan and Fyster. They were all slightly damaged by Roger's abuse (I guess you could compare him to Zlatko?). William and Yui were together, and took care of Molly and Farrah. Yui had a yellow complexion, while William, Rebexi, Gayge, Natalya, Zavr, Arielle, Danom, Herlee, Ragan, Molly, Fyster and Farrah were cream skinned with brown hair. Other Androids had arrived here to be safe from 'Cyberlife Killer' including Crystal and Rupert's neighbors from Safe Haven and the owners, Majorie, Faust and Bambi, supposedly having nightmares of their old owner who burned them with his cigarettes and abused them daily- they needed a change of scenery. Many had heard Roger's name before, but many did not remember from where or how. After the news of the blue blood and Dawn, one of the only Cyberlife employees who had sympathy for androids before the Revolution, was now dead, everyone was paranoid- downright terrified that Roger would strike again at any moment. It was amazing that any of the children were sleeping soundly considering what had just happened a few hours ago. Connor was busy trying to find Roger, but he was radio silent. He seemly vanished again. Markus, meanwhile was also hard at work, trying to figure out what to do if Jericho is attacked, whispering in a corner with North, Josh and Simon, trying to not wake the kids, as Carl kept watch on his sister as she stirred in her sleep while sleeping on his shoulder, possibly having a nightmare. But eventually, Carl did sleep, resting his head on Willow's. Other androids simply kept close, huddled between friends and loved ones, fearing the worst. While all of this was happening, Violet paced, as she had done so for the last two hours.
"Violet, please-" Anastasia began.
"Stop pacing." Crystal finished resting her head on Rupert's shoulder, holding his hand, as both woman were sitting on near by steel benches in the middle of the ship, along with the Tracis, the 14 new androids, Ralph, Kara, Luther, Marjorie, Faust, Bambi and others. Anastasia and Crystal were separated by four other androids sitting on the bench.
"Vi... please stop." Ottavia mumbled in her sleep, leaning her head on Ralph's leg near the left side of the bench.
"Ralph wants Violet to stop." Ralph repeated after her, as Ottavia shifted her position on his leg. Ralph was surprisedly unfazed.
"Vi... please." Lexi begged, her voice slightly slurred by sleep, as her head was resting on Ashley's lap and her legs on Meg's on a smaller bench near the front door of the ship.
"It's not good for you to be pacing for so many hours." Ashley commented, stroking Lexi's hair, as Meg nodded in agreement. Despite the many protests from her fellow androids and weary human companions, she didn't listen.
"Violet." Lexi and Ottavia both warned in unison through their drowsiness, each opening one eye to look at Violet annoyed. Violet did not listen. Anastasia rested her arm on her knee and sighed. Crystal shifted her eyes over to her, and Anastasia nodded in understanding. Both women grabbed Violet's arms, Anastasia on her left and Crystal on her right, stopping Violet in the middle of the ship leaving her shocked.
"Stop it!" Anastasia scolded.
"Now!" Crystal snapped. Violet then sighed, and left to go into another room, leaving everyone alone as Crystal and Anastasia both sat down back at their places on the bench.
"She gone?" Ottavia asked, opening her eyes, as Ralph moved to sit on the floor, leaning against the bench, leaving Ottavia with the opportunity to rest her head on his chest.
"Yes." Several people replied, including Lexi, Crystal, Rupert, Anastasia and the Tracis.
"Thank goodness." Ottavia muttered, laying her down on Ralph's chest with his arm wrapped around her waist, as she fell into a deep slumber.
