Testing Emotions

Blueprints

An hour had passed by the time Suki, Deckerd and Yuuta returned from headquarters.

"Um, that couch wasn't there before... was it?" Suki pointed to a large cushiony sofa on the left side of the room.

"We just brought it in." Dumpson said, turning in his chair.

"We kinda figured, since you don't have a desk yet, that you'd want to be comfy." Power Joe shrugged.

"Why the sudden niceness?" She asked.

"Well you're new aren't you?" Duke pointed out.

"A'right." Suki walked over to it and plopped down, tired from lastnight. Everyone returned to their work, but Suki had nothing to do, so she just looked around the room.

Leaning back, she heard Power Joe watching some drama show while everyone else minded their own business. Huffing, she put her arms behind her head, "What to do...."

"Sukurian." The Comissioner called.

Suki looked up.

"We need you in the ward." Saejima said, then walked away.

"What now...?" She groaned, getting up. Exiting the room, she sighed, hopefully they'll let her have a case soon.

Entering the repair ward, she noticed another, newly built, stall that was empty.

"Another stall?" Suki asked herself.

"Sukurian, it's time you met your new partner, or hypothetically speaking of course." Seajima pulled out a blueprint of another bot. The body resembled the same female shape, but her arms were rounder and so was her helmet. She had shades much like Gumax's but not a biking helmet. Wings spread out from her back like a butterflies, resembling Suki's. Her own wings perked up happily.

"I won't be the only girl anymore! I can't wait!" She cheered.

"We haven't started constructing her yet, but she will be dispatched soon."

"I gotta go tell the others." Suki turned but Saejima cleared his throat.

"Let them be surprised." He said. 'They're more attractive when unspoken of... or so I've heard.'

"Okay." Suki nodded, barely hanging on with keeping her joy hidden. Returning to the Decker Room, she slumped back on the couch, trying to look as convincingly bored. Lying her head on the arm of the sofa, she watched everyone. Seeing at how they focused amazingly well, including Yuuta, she wondered how she would change things for them.

Maybe they'd be a distraction. The world has a lot of mysteries, in that case, Suki wanted to see what their lives were like back before she was thought up. Was it the same? The rings on the sides on her head jingled against her helmet as she sat straight again.

"Sukurian, if you have nothing to do, you can go out to do some rounds." Yuuta looked at her from across the room.

"Didn't the Comissioner say that she was to be with us until she can fully be deployed?" Duke reminded.

"Oh yeah." The human looked down, but looked back up again with a smile on his face, snapping his fingers once, "He didn't say who though! And where!"

Suki perked up at the thought.

"But... then again, Drill Boy already did his rounds for the afternoon... and Shadowmaru did his earlier...." Yuuta thought. "I'll go then!" Everyone in the room looked up at him.

"It's almost your lunchtime though, Yuuta." Deckerd protested, eyeing the paper bag on his desk.

Yuuta gripped stomach as it growled, hearing Deckerd say the word 'lunch'. "After lunch then."
