The two shuttles both grabbed the rogue shuttle in their tractor beams and together towed her back to the shuttle bay where more security officers were ready and waiting to question her.

Then man shook his head, rubbing his hands together to warm them as they stepped out. "I travel alone..."

Asher frowned. That didn't seem like a good idea, especially for someone this sick. He put his worries on hold for the moment. "It was brave of you to take on those thugs alone," he remarked. "I'm glad you did."

The man shrugged, "The latter series of androids seem... different. They can read and emulate emotion. But if they were truly emotionless, why would they emulate emotions such as fear or sadness or anger? Rationally, those emotions are detrimental to the machine. I do not believe we've made simple programs, those..." He shook his head, "And anyway, I don't very much like vandalism. Someone has to pay for it..."

"Their creators argue that imitating emotion makes the androids seem less creepy," Asher said. "I don't buy that though. They seem too real to just be imitating" a slight hesitation "us."

The man had picked up the hesitation, and it was evident in the sideways glance he gave Asher that he did. But he did not pry, holding back a sneeze, only to cough it out, and shook his head, continuing to walk. At least the painkillers was ebbing away the headache...

Esk had found a cafe to sit, a little time out away from the rest of his damn crew. He liked private time, he was used to private quiet time. Gave him space to think.
He watched the skaters, and the familiar over tall gangly shape of Matt as he fumbled across the rink.
Moron.
Esk took a pencil from his pocket and scribbled on the back of a napkin, sipping at his coffee as he drew.

After skating for a bit, Matt would lead Third off to find something hot to drink and warm up a bit. They found a nearby cafe to sit and Matt recognized his brother.

"Heeeey." He plopped into a seat opposite Esk who glanced up, then went back to drawing.

"what?" Esk asked flatly.

"just.. hi." Matt shrugged. "Mind if we join you?"

Esk sighed and set his pencil down. "You won't take no for an answer, so what's the point in arguing."

Third hopped up onto the table graciously, looking between Mattias and Esk. "Who is this?... He has an odd scent." He sniffed him again, before shaking his head. "It is reaper-like. You aren't a reaper, are you? You don't look like one."

"Do you need medical treatment?" Asher asked, concerned.

The man shook his head. "Just need to push through it, is all... I haven't been this sick in years." He laughed harshly, his throat scratching at the attempt.

"All right," Asher said. He lapsed into silence, for the sake of the poor guy's throat.

Esk's eyes narrowed at the fox. "Get the animal off the table. " He snapped.

Matt laughed. "He's not an animal, he's my buddy. " He pulled a chair out for Third to sit on. "Third, this is my youngest brother Stellan."

"Esk."

"Right right.. he goes by Esk now, for... reasons. " Matt shrugged. "My brother Esk." He grinned. "Happy?"

"Delighted." Esk told him flatly.

"he's not a reaper, wait.. what's a reaper?" Matt asked third.

"My father's an incubus, does that help?" Esk sounded bored and slightly irritated as he went back to his coffee.

"Esk." Third tasted the name on his tongue, before he nodded, "Ah, Incubi... Well, that clarifies it. It is of a... similar nature." He snickered, before returning his attention to Matt. "Reapers are a type of spectre. They look like animated black cloaks, and they will steal the life from you if they target you. They have a very odd scent, though I wouldn't call them demonkin..."

The man simply followed Asher in silence before finally saying simply, "John Flamel."

"Creepy." Matt shuddered.

"mmm." Esk shrugged.

"What are you drawing anyway?" Matt asked, reaching out for the napkin.

Esk reached out a hand to stop him.
He didn't have to touch Matt for him to draw his hand back and look sheepish.

"Don't touch my stuff." Esk told him flatly.

"I was just curious... " Matt huffed.

"I'm Asher," the android said. Which didn't sound like enough after John had given him his full name, but he wasn't much good at improvising, so that would have to be enough. He smiled, "It's good to meet you, John."

Third seemed to study Esk. For a moment, he frowned, looking truly saddened and then wildly shook his head, as if something had made him sneeze. He went back to studying.

~~~~~~

"And to you." John replied tartly, his smiled hidden beneath his mask, so he nodded slightly.

Shane followed Asher and the terran curiously, though he was silent. He was glad he hadn't had to reveal what he was to Chuck. That would have been awkward at best.

Esk stared back at the fox impassively.

"What is it doing?" He asked Matt warily.

"He's watching you. I dunno. I'm gonna get drinks. You wanna hot cocoa or something third?" Matt asked.

Asher smiled at Shane, "And he's Shane, one of the excellent crew of the ship I work on," Asher said.

Third watched Esk a bit more, and suddenly blinked. "What? Oh... Yes, cocoa will do. Thank you."

When Matt left, he returned his attention to Esk, "You have... A lot of loathing."

~~~~~~

"You all work on a ship?" He asked curiously, blinking slowly in thought.

Matt hurried off with only one warning for Third "don't touch him... " He looked to Esk and repeated that "Don't touch him."

Esk snorted and waved matt away.

He looked at the fox. "What's it to you?" He went back to his drawing.

Asher nodded. "We were all lucky enough to end up with her for various reasons. It's been... interesting." He was reluctant to say Vestia's name, even to this guy. Too many bounty hunters here.

Third shrugged, "Nothing. It is not my business, it's just... I have not used my old powers in a while. And something ails you. It comes off you in waves. And there was a time where I was an Inari Follower, a being who sensed these things. And your pains ail me too, whether I want it to or not. I was just... curious."

~~~~~~

"Her?" John echoed, confused.

"Old Terran nautical terms. It was traditional for all ships to be female," Asher said smoothly. After a moment he shrugged and added, "And she's a smartship."

Esk stared at the fox, his eyes dull. He hadn't a clue who Inari was, and he didn't much care. "So once upon a time you went around and what, helped hurting people? You sound like the therapist on this station, she eats pain apparently. I don't need therapy."

"Ah." John nodded, seemingly satisfied with that answer as he sneezed.

~~~~~~

Third shook his head. "Not therapy. The followers would find the ones that hurt, and take them away from that, turn them into one of them, help them start a new life as something different." He frowned, "I used to be one of them, until I lost contact and transformed into an Entropium, myself, but I still have the ability to sense pain. Now, I am merely curious as to why."
