"That just means he's programmed to feign personality. AIs aren't living. They're just programs."

"You know Marqeuess I can't tell if your anti or pro technology sometimes," Jasper sighed.

"I just don't like AIs."

Colt sighed. "I'm not mad because I don't trust you. I'm mad because you aren't trusting me." He said with a frown. "It goes both ways... at least it has to I think."

"Actually where are we going because we have somewhere to be. Why even contact us at all?" Jasper asked moving close to Marquess.

"We're going to rescue Metzli," Adam replied bluntly, mostly because Aya wasn't saying anything. "I don't know the details myself because boss lady hasn't told us but from what I gather it seems like our little friend has vanished somewhere," he then glanced at Aya. "Am I right?"

"the well being of your members is of no concern to us. Jasper lets go," Marquess told the boy.

Jasper looked conflicted but it was also apparent he respected Marquess. "Null should have sent more than you three. It can't be that dangerous if they only sent three."

Aya only stared at them. Her gut feeling was wrong, it seemed. They weren't worth being cordial to. "Get off my ship. And the next time I see you, there will be a gunshot aimed at you. Now go," she opened the hatch of the ship back up. "You have five seconds."

"Null doesn't know do they? That you came to us, meaning that you came to us to help her because it's something Null can't help with. If so then why use a ship with Null's AI? You are our enemy yet want our help and find us wrong for not offering it without knowing why? Give us a reason to care for your comrade. How about telling us why you came to us," Marquess remained the ever portrait of calm.

"Well....crap," Adam sighed to himself before standing in front of the door, his eyes turning towards Aya. "THey're right that just us won't be enough to rescue Metzli," he stated before turning towards the two riftborne. "As for your Marquess. Andromeda's told me great things about you," he stated, not caring that Colt would find out about him dating Andromeda. "I thought you'll be a really swell guy, someone that could help when it counted."

Colt instead pointed his guns at Adam's head. "Not now." He stated bluntly. "And we're more than enough to bring Metz home. I disagreed with the decision to bring these... whatever they are... into the case." He frowned. "As for your little dalliance with one of them, we will talk about that later." He motioned with his handcannons. "Now move."

"All right all right, put down the shovel," Adam commented with a relaxed expression and tone, simply holding his hands up as he moved away from the door. "If you fire I'll just warp and you might destroy the helicopter."

"Question is if you're quick enough for that." Colt said with a knowing glimmer in his eyes, but he pointed the guns away from Adam. "Plus, it would take out a lot more than the helicopter." He mused, looking out the door. "I just hope the kid's alright." He sighed, referring to Metz.

"I'm sure she'll be okay," Adam reassured him, pocketing his hands as he leaned against the wall.

"How about the both of you shut the fuck up?!" Aya turned back to them. "Colt, stand down. Adam, stop inciting him. Or all of you get off of this ship. This mission, these... Children of Orion, I'll find them myself if you keep up this nonsense."

Marquess usually calm face took on a rather scary demeanor. "If you're looking for them, I won't let you bring him," he nodded towards Colt. "I won't let someone who would point a gun at their friend for something as small as what Ada just did. If you're willing to leave him then I can lead you, and make sure you don't get screwed over," he told her, the implication being he had much higher connections with the group than Aya or anyone she knew could. "You and Ada are fine but not him."

"Okay Aya, you seriously gotta tell us what we're supposed to be doing here," Adam added with a groan as he looked at the woman. "You're getting too heated."

"Or I kill you both and think nothing of it." Colt muttered at Marquess' suggestion. "Promotion, a medal and probably a day or two of extra vacation time would be nice after all."

"Wait, how do you even... you know what, I don't give a shit," Aya held up her hand, shaking her head. "Either way, we already have directions; I don't need your help getting there. No matter what your... connections are. Colt comes."

"I won't let anyone I don't trust near my family!" he snapped at her.

Jasper's eyes widened in shock. As far as he knew, none of the riftborn save for himself had family. Nor did anyone use the term for each other save for Andromeda and Marquess to refer to just each other. "Please. I don't know who these guys are, but I know family isn't a word any of us use lightly, and nothing to us is more important than someone we consider family. Whoever these guys are, we won't be visiting with any intention of harm to you or them. We wouldn't do that. It'd be like taking you to a classroom of fourth graders that include my brother and starting a fight," Jasper spoke up, hoping it worked to calm them some, as well as convince Aya. "Would you let us near your family? To Marquess this is already a large risk. So please."

"And I'm not leaving Aya and Adam and Metz alone with you people." Colt shot back. "It's non-negotiable. Our helicopter, our rules. Take them or leave them." The one plus side of Marquess continuing to push was that Colt's anger at Aya and Adam was quickly fading. That would help in the long run.

Adam simply stared at Aya as he listened to Jasper speak, his eyes closing for a moment. "We could use their help."
