(setting) Refugee's camp
| >A couple of young men approach walking to the scene
| "Well we're here... now the hard comes with finding them. I don't this place is the most organized..."
| "We could go around with the picture asking if anyone has seen them, just like cops do, but lucky us I don't look like a cop"
| >as you approach the refugee you see a large sign has been erected out of scrap metal inside the fenced area "Quincy-Town Five: Another home for the forgotten." written in spray paint.
| "Actually that's not a had idea. Why don't you do the asking around though. They might be more receptive since you're well known on the radio."
| "Roger that hackerman, i'll shout if I see or hear them, I hope these people know about good radio though"
>Neil parted to inside of the camp, framed photo at hand.
| >inside are a lot of older people, a few younger ones, and even children. Occasionally there are lilims about. Overall its rather crowded and seem to be very few guards.
| > A man in a doctor's light teal coat and roams occasionally around among the people. In a bag he seems to have several medical tools and a small touchpad like device. He would take a picture of someone, ask a couple of questions and then take a bloodsample.
> After a few moments more of fiddling with the touchpad, he would move to the next one and repeat the procedure again.

| I have been trying to get a hold of my wife for a few weeks now but she is not going to be able to make any progress with this project and I will be in touch with you shortly after I have masterbated in my bathroom and I demand a blowjob from my daughter daily after school mostly for her science project. Thank you

>As you show the image to members most don't recognize them and some say they're familiar but don't know where they are. Eventually as you feel discouraged you spot the two eating at a food distributor.
| >Neil approached the old couple with the photo still on his hand, as he got closer he started looking down at the picture then back up at the pair, figuring out if they're the same.
| >CN whispers to Neil
"Think that's them?"
| >Neil whispers back
"If it's not them they're very alike, this photo isn't exactly recent either"
>Neil stops at a few meters from the couple
| "Well no use just standing here."
>He walks up to the couple
"Uh excuse me, are you Pollys caretakers?"
| >>156932
>the older woman looks over.
"Polly? Um... No, I don't remember a name like that... But..."
>the man is continuing to eat and doesn't seem to be paying attention to you.
| >>156948
"I... think so. That's what he said it was."
>she points to the man next to him, he is still eating and looks a bit agitated and sullen.
| "Perhaps he might answer our questions better?"
>Neil looks now at the eating man
| >>156958
"Something happened a bit a go. I'm sorry, my head hurts again..."
>she starts going through her bag and pulls out a bottle of medication
| >CN turns back to the woman
"Is his hearing okay?"
| >>156979
>the woman swallows the medication and a glass of water
"He said he went deaf when we lost our home."
| "Something tells me he doesn't know sign language either..."
>CN signs hello to the man
| >Neil holds the photo from behind CN, pointing at the small Polly on it.
| "There we go."
>He crouches down and starts signing
"Are you Pollys caretakers?"
| >>157026
"I don't know what you're doing boy. Hold on."
>they pull out a piece of paper and a pencil
"I lost my hearing during the riots."
| >He slumps his head
"I swear not once has that come in handy..."
>He mumbles to himself as he starts writing the question on the paper.
| >>157032
"Yes, we are. Nan there was hit in the head trying to protect her from the savages. Two minutes too late they firebombed the damn thing. If those damn green soldiers had gotten there just five minutes earlier."
>he seems to be shaking in anger
| >>157039
>He continues writing
"I'm sorry to hear that... the reason we're here is because a missing persons report was posted for Polly and we looking for info on her."
| >>157051
"She was burned in our apartment. The monsters threw a flaming blanket over her and started destroying things. The screaming was so loud I lost my hearing, that and the gunshots. We couldn't live there anymore... We took what we could and came here."
| >>157061
"I see... during our search we found a record of her in the Collective Unconscious. Just in case you were unaware..."
| >>157074
"We backed her up after the last body upgrade and adjustment. It just doesn't feel the same though."
| >>157078
"What about if we're able to construct her original body with her original consciousness?"
| "Well we've found some of her body already and we've been searching for the rest... as for her conscious..."
>CN stops writing and looks to Neil
| "Right"
>Neil takes the paper and pencil to begin writing
"There have been numerous sightings of deceased lilims manifesting to certain people, Polly has been showing up and talking to me in the past days"
| >>158288
"You said with the original body right?"
>he looks at CN
"We brought a lot of the parts with us. Some are still in the apartment but only things like screws and springs. I guess, replacing small stuff like that is no real difference between augmentations or limb replacement. After we're done eating, I'll take you to our tent."
| >>158321
>CN nods in agreement
"I also found some of the other parts someone was selling online. Not sure how they got a hold of them but I got them now."
| >>158326
"We couldn't carry everything, someone must have gotten in... At least this worked out then."
| A few tens of meters away, the doctor seemed to to have finished sampling people's blood. He greeted the old woman who was the last to be checked and started to count a last time all the small vials in his medical bag. Finishing the count he typed some more notes at the touchpad then switched it off and put it in the bag as well. Getting up he headed towards the small building where the camp personel offices were and where people were busy and moving all the time.
| >(And yes another messed up colour long line)
| >>158349
"Do we have a plan to get her in the rebuilt body? I'm thinking on her walking straight into It but if that doesn't work.."
>Neil said freely aware that the old man was deaf
| >>160832
"Honestly I haven't thought that far ahead... I was hoping you would be able to figure it out considering you're the one who can see her and all that..."
| >>160835
>Neil followed behind the old man while talking
"Honestly that's been my plan so far, have her walk into her body, I'm thinking now how good can be a plan B"
| >>160849
"No pressure man I'm the one being haunted here, I bet this'll be fun, building up a body from pieces like an evil scientist"
| >after some time you are brought to a larger tent by the old man. mattresses are laid on the ground which looks to have a temporary floor put in. There are bags in the corner.
"What parts did the man sell to you?"
| >>161177
"I see..."
>he goes to a bag he has in the back, it has a lock on it and it tied in a tight knot.
"We were able to carry the legs and her head...which was damaged very badly..."
>he pulls out a key and unlocks the bag
"I don't want to look at her right now...I...I don't think I could handle it."
>he sits on one of the mattresses.
| >>161180
"Hmm... aside from some small parts this should be everything. I'll need to buy them though, don't have nearly enough in my repair kit."
| >>161188
>he reads over what you obviously would have written down.
"Alright...Hopefully you can do it..."
| >>161189
"Right."
>He turns back to Neil
"Okay I can go and get the parts real fast, want to start setting the pieces up on the ground?"
|
| >>161191
"Can do boss, there is just This one thing that.. Polly hasn't shown up since we visited their apartment, she let This horrible scream and I haven't seen her since"
| >>162868
"Yes I know, I'm not sure what to do about that though... *sigh* Maybe we should just take the part and figure that out once her body is repaired..."
| >>162946
"Alright man let's follow That up, I'll place the pieces in place so when you come with the other pieces we'll piece them together"
>He clapped his hands together ready to work
| >A few hours pass before CN arrives again with a bag filled with electronics.
"Got the parts, you owe me 10k zenny by the way."
| >The previous pieces were already set on the order they must, the head was covered by a small blanket
"Me or the old.."
>Neil realizes where they are before finishing up the sentence
"Yeah alright, I'll transfer you when I'm Home, is everything in there?"
| >>163080
"Yup, just need to go through the process of fixing her now."
>CN kneels down by the body and takes out a repair kit.
"This make take a bit so maybe you can figure how to get Polly back here in the meantime"
| "I have literally no control over her, however.. I think I heard her when I slept on the apartment, if it wasn't ash intoxication I believe it might be easier for her to show in a resting mind?"
| >>163089
"Yeah I was setting terrain for that, just so you know that I'll be work-sleeping instead of lazy-sleeping"
>Neil laid on an unoccupied spot in the tent
| >>163187
"I'll believe when I see her moving up and about..."
>CN stays quiet as he starts working on repairs for Polly
| "So you hard of hearing boy or just stupid? I didn't want to see her right now and you just do that here?"
| >>163408
"...Sorry."
>He frowns and mouths a sorry as he starts putting everything away. He lightly kicks Neil up.
"Come on Neil we can't do this here..."
| "So much for a nice work-sleep"
>Neil mumbled out before standing back up
"They better have mattress outside"
| >>164053
>Once everything is carefully packed away CN stands up
"We're not doing it right outside, it's better if we just do it someplace else. Lilim bodies aren't organic but they still can get rust and stuff."
| "What about the rooftop of your place? That's where the guys built California, or maybe the station since that's where Polly has been showing up the most"
| "Oh the radio station. I mean it's worth a shot."
| "Alright man, maybe if we get her fixed she can talk a bit on the radio since I believe half of the city believes I lost my mind now"
| >>166745
"Well one step at a time man. Come on let's get going."
>He starts walking out of the camp
