NATALIE GRUNTED SLIGHTLY AS THE CAR CAME to an abrupt stop. She nearly fell off the backseat and onto the floor at the sudden movement but was able to save herself before she face-planted. She sat up quickly to find that they had finally arrived at the android gentlemen's club. The neon signs and police lights illuminated the dark surroundings as raindrops fell from the cloudy sky.

"Aw... Feels like somebody's playing with a drill inside my skull..." Hank moaned as he rested his hands on his temples to hopefully deter a headache that he knew he was going to have to suffer from. "You sure this is the place?" He asked his two partners as he glanced at the neon pink illuminated building.

Connor nodded his head, "it's the address in the report."

"Right..." Hank sighed as he tried to collect himself, "okay... Let's get going." He started to exit the car but accidentally hit his head on the roof as he tried to get out. "Jesus..." he weakly called out as Natalie snorted in amusement which earned her a glare from the hungover man.

The detective, android and engineer all hopped out of the car. Natalie was certain that if she were completely human, she would have felt the cold raindrops pelting her skin and chilling her to the bone. Then she would have clung to her sweatshirt more in order to stay warm. However, there wasn't much flesh and blood left apart of her body to cause her to become cold. Natalie closed the door to the car as she came to stand in front of the Eden Club and eyed the building in distaste. She never once thought in her life that she would ever end up in a place like this. Sure, she knew what it is and its purpose and even had a few friends try to force her to places like this, but she honestly didn't like them.

The trio walked through the entrance of the club, "Sexiest androids in town..." Hank commented as he read the screens that lined the entrance hall. "Now I know why you insisted on coming here!" He jested towards the only android apart of the group.

"Yes, because the dead body had nothing to do with why we're here!" Natalie sarcastically commented as she followed after the older man. She felt completely uncomfortable as soon as a few androids were in sight. She grew even more uncomfortable, if it was possible, once she set eyes on the few androids who were dancing on poles. Yes, she knew that they were androids and that they were programmed to act this way. However, they looked far too much like a human for her to not think that it was inappropriate for her to look at them. Plus, now she was technically part android as well... if anything they were more her people than a human was.

She thought it was so weird to see all of these androids held in tubes ready to be bought... and used. Especially now that they knew some of them were starting to gain consciousness and their own thoughts. She most certainly wouldn't want to be an android that gained deviancy while being stuck in a place like this. Not at all. She couldn't even imagine what it would be like for one to go through that.

"You're not gonna take my license, are you?" The owner of the club moaned as he spoke with Ben. Hank walked over to them to hear with the man had to say while Connor observed their surroundings and Natalie stood rigidly and obviously uncomfortably beside him. "I mean, ha, I had nothing to do with this!"

The older detective sighed, "The investigation's ongoing, sir, I can't tell you anything for the moment." He finally turned to the newcomers. He nodded his head at Natalie politely, "Ms. Tyler," she returned the gesture. "Hey, Hank!"
