Markus' Hotel Room

"This is it," Markus said, gesturing toward everyone in the room. Kara looked at everyone. "This is all."

Until she started to show or it became imperative to know, the androids in front of her, and the one RH Hank, were the only ones to know. Markus wanted her to know which faces she should look to guidance for.

"My name is North." North shook her head. "I am a long standing member of the fallen Jericho. I am second in charge after Markus. I also live with Markus so it would have been hard to hide this from me."

A blonde haired android stood up. "My name is Simon. I was also a long standing member of the fallen Jericho. I am technically third in charge. I am a good friend to Markus and clearly someone he trusts."

"Me too." Another android raised his hand. "My name is Josh. I am the last in charge. If you see me leading, run," he teased her. "Friend to Markus, longtime member of Jericho."

"Hank Anderson," the human said. "Just Hank is fine. Yeah, yeah, a human has to know. I know what you're thinking." He slugged Connor on the back. Connor didn't respond to the slug. "I was with him at the time so it couldn't really be hidden. I wouldn't look to me for support, I can't do shit, but just know that I know."

"I am Connor," Connor said. "You clearly know I know because I made you aware of the situation."

"You could tell her why you are here," North encouraged him. "Both you and Hank."

"Detectives. Found out," Hank said. "Hello? No one would know if it wasn't for our asses. What's more to say?"

"Markus and I for some reason are the only ones who read the nano android's protective shell signals," Connor added to her. "Because of that, we both need to be close enough to pull signals from you."

"We will be running a diagnostic over you hourly," Markus revealed to her. "You didn't choose this, and I know that. I respect that. Everyone here respects that. However, you are the prototype to a new possible future of androids. We don't know anything about this and have never seen it before. We are taking every precaution we can to make sure you survive through this safely with it."

"I appreciate the support." It was a small, intimate number. That was good. "I'd like to get a little girl here now, if I have to stay."

"Yes. Alice will be collected soon, I assure you of that," Markus said. "We need to get these details laid out though. It's going to seem a little odd at first, but the diagnostics are clear runs to know what's going on. With you being an android anything could happen at any time. Connor and I will also stay close so that we can help translate the signals faster, for a better response to them. It's not as intuitive to you as I think Elijah Kamski wanted."

She nodded. "I get it. I should be safe as possible."

"When we aren't around, Simon or Josh will be in between along with North," Connor said. "One of us will be within a yelling distance at all times."

"It would be good to also get a full scan from the repair machine around eight each night," Markus said. "Afterwards, a decent recharge."

"You also need to get out and around. Move, especially outside," Josh said. "The little guy or girl wants more than walls to sense around it. We usually go out in crowds of ten to twenty, but you can walk around the hotel area as long as you have someone with you. North, Simon and me will be your schedule walker buddies. Luther could also walk with you too, when he finds out."

"And you can leave the area with the RH and Connor if you feel stuffed up here," Markus added. "Connor can handle situations. Try and get out once a month at least. I know androids don't always think about it-"
