"Well if she was carrying it around with her, it's probably been through a lot of crap. And she'll probably be back for it."

He moved a few parts around in the container and waited, when nothing happened he growled slightly and hit it on the side, it started up, but power was quite limited.

A somewhat formless holographic avatar appeared out of the device, its appearance clouded and grainy. "Stop hitting me!" it protested. "That was hard work and--" The figure stopped talking, staring at Zerna as if it were surprised to see him.

"I would not need to hit you if your owner didn't take such bad care of you. Look at this thing." he held up the device. "It's a damn crime."

"She takes good care of me," the hologram protested, appearing to cross its arms. "But she is not an engineer."

"How can she have an AI and not maintain it? Did she steal you?"

"That is none of your business." The hazy hologram continued staring at him, not offering up any information as to where her owner had gotten her.

"Reminds me of someone I know," Clio muttered under her breath, getting up from the floor. "I don't think that hologram is going to tell us anything."

"If you were going to do that, you would have done it already," the hologram countered, still not giving in.

He sighed and started to dig in the device and he flipped a switch. "Who attacked me." he asked calmly to prove his point. If it was an AI, he could maybe get it on his side.

The hologram tipped its head sideways. "You were attacked and then you found me. The only logical answer is that it was her. Blood Queen."

"Blood Queen?" Clio shook her head. "That's just morbid."

"And why would this Blood Queen attack me, not to mention call me a colaborator to the empire?"

"Aren't you?" the AI asked, clearly confused by the question.

"If I where, don't you think you would be in the middle of a high tech lab, in maintenance mode while I dissect your AI brain?"

"Oh. I suppose that's a good point." The AI fell silent, as if she were quietly studying him. "Obviously she thinks you are. They send people after her, and they look like you."
