Testing Emotions

Another normal day...

It seemed to be too beautiful of a day for something tragic to happen. Suki leaned back on her hands, staring at the sky. Deckerd was leaned forward, arms resting on his knees and limp. He stared at the ground for eternity, head hanging from boredom.

"How long does one human operation normally take?" Suki asked in the most wondering of ways.

Deckerd raised his head a little, glancing at her. "Depends." He looked back down, not really knowing himself.

The bot to his right made a small noise of understanding, then they continued their moments of peace.

Birds flew over them, chirping happily as the gentle breeze blew Suki's hair through the grass. She crossed her legs and laid on the ground, arms behind her neck, sighing. It was surprisingly quiet here. She guessed Japan was a pretty subtle country. Highly doubting it right away. Checking her internal time, she blew a bangs from her forehead. It's been approximately 2 hours.

"Best first case ever." Suki mumbled, incomprehensible.

Deckerd, surprisingly, was getting drowsy. The sun has been beating down on him for a while, but the breeze helped keep his systems cool. He started to think about their 'evolution'. They were nothing but machinery, their 'heart' was all just in their head. An emotion that sprouted into many more. From Deckerd, to Duke, they were all human in a way, as if their human minds were implanted into these mechanical body. He glanced at his partner, wondering how they would handle going through all the shit they went through.

The sound of whirring gears hummed softly as Suki stood up. Deckerd sat up straight, looking up at her, "I'm just going to check." She said softly, then walked towards the building again. He watched her leave, suddenly feeling lonely. Sighing, he returned to his position, but this time resting his head on his elbow.

Deckerd! We can go now! Suki's voice rang in his head from a private comm. He grunted, getting up and jogging over in the same direction. She was talking to the same Nurse, who seemed more comfortable around the giant beings.

"She says they are able to speak, which bodes well for us. The bad news? They're on the top floor...." She said, in an almost defeating tone.

"You can fly right?" Deckerd looked at her, and her eyes glinted as if she just remembered.

Suki found herself hovering in the air, arguing with a Doctor at an open window.

"But this is important!" She pleaded.

"No! These patients have been traumatized and are in shock! They need rest!" The small man spat back. He had wrinkles all over his face, a ring of hair around his head, looking like he was wearing a bald cap, and looked like he was in his fifties. "You soulless machines think you can barge in whenever you want!"

Sukurian flinched back at the comment, "I have a soul! I have a heart and feelings too you know! I'm even arguing with you! Doesn't that symbolize what I'm saying?" She spat back. "Forget it. Expect us back tomorrow Mister." Her tone was still frustrated but starting to calm down. The robot didn't take another glance at the man before she dove down, landing with a bit of a thud.

"How'd it go-?" Deckerd paused when he saw her slightly angered expression and interrupted him.

"Let's go." She felt her heart sink slightly, being called a machine somehow hurt her inside, even a soulless one.

"What happene-"

"At HQ!" She scowled, looking back at him, her gaze fierce. Shit. I'm turning into Duke. "I'm sorry. I... I just.... Let's go back." Surprisingly, tears had threatened to fall.
