Offline

[observation]

"Jaemin is offline." Mr.Lee said as he received a notification similar to an Amber alert flashed on his phone.
"He what? How?" Mrs.Lee turned to him, panic settled in on her features.
"I don't know-he's just fucking offline. What the hell do we do?" He glared at the notification.
"Fucks sake. See if you can call Jeno or something. I'm gonna set off Jaehyun."
"Jaehyun? The hell-"
"Jeno first. Meet me in the basement when you're done."

"Dad?"
"Hey bud! Are the boys with you?"
"Renjun and Jaemin? Yeah-well, no. Jaemin went out for a walk but he hasn't come back yet."
"Alright. Just checking on ya. Love you buddy."
"Love y-"

"He said Jaemin took a w-woah!" Mr.Lee trotted into the basement as he hung up on his son and froze up as he saw Jaehyun with his chest open. It was split down the middle and it opened like a fridge door. His wife stood with her back to him, grinning at her creation.
"Where is it?"
"He said he took a walk. What is all this about?" He gestured to the unfamiliar technology in Jaehyun's chest cavity.
"I made it better," She turned to him and smiled, "Jaehyun."

"Active!" Jaehyun stood at attention.
"What is your goal?"
"Successful Search and Rescue by noon tomorrow." Jaehyun had lost any feeling he had in his voice. He was even more of a shell than his old unit was.
"Close that you before you go." She gestured towards his chest and he nodded. Jaehyun ran upstairs and Mr.Lee flinched as he heard the front door slam.
"Sweetheart, what is all this?"
"Come here, I've been busy," she walked over to her desk and waved him over. "I made some tweaks to that one. It's stronger, faster and smarter. It can punch straight through steel! And just for funsies, it can lift cars. Good he's far enough outside. If you look here," she pointed to four screens capturing the neighborhood flying by, "those are it's eyes and ears. I replaced the eyes and ' ears' with higher quality cameras and I gave us the pilot option." She grinned at her computer screen and enlarged the 'EAR(L)' window. She clicked on a button that looked like a little plane and the passing houses stopped. She tapped a few keys and if she pressed up Jaehyun would move forward. It was the same with any other directional key. She moved him around like a character in a game. She right clicked on the plane and Jaehyun took off again.

"Is he dangerous?"

"A human sized tank that can run up to 100mph?" She sighed and gazed up at her husband. "No."

"Reassuring, hun."

"Oh! Wanna know how it can capture the other one?" She seemed giddy as she spun around in her chair.

"You seem too excited-" Mr.Lee anxiously bit on his nails.

"It'll cut it off from the core."

"What?"

"Yeah! That one will open up its chest cavity, locate the core, yank it out like a tooth, and bring it back to us along with the husk-as long as the rogue one complies. If it doesn't this one will just punch through it and remove it that way."

"Jesus Christ."

"Imagine what it could do for the army! Do you know how much the government would pay for one of these?! This is a war machine, baby!"

(Agh!! It's been a long time!!)
(I'm finally back into writing this story though so it should be fine ((for a while) and I have some kind of direction that I want it to go in.)
