Head tilted back as 2B eyed the towering structure before her, the android couldn’t help but wonder. Just exactly what was this stone-built structure that confined a whirling vortex of colour.
“Pod, scan the structure and save the data for future.” the android noted as she slowly began to encircle the structure, as if to see whether the whirling mass of colour could be seen from the other side, and if the structure persisted. Pod took off from her side, the pale-coloured rectangle soaring through the skies as it encircled the structure and began to analyze the collected data.
Without any advanced scanning functionalities, 2B could see that it was likely built out of stone. To add to that, judging by the eroded nature of the stone, it had been here for quite a while. The android found herself longing for the scanning capabilities of 9S, the lifelong curiousity he had always brought to her day. Of course, it was just a piece of data in his personality, but did that really matter?
To 2B, he was just as real as she was to herself. Maybe even more real, than a human would’ve been. Of course, to YoRHa, emotions were forbidden, a taboo. Something deemed unnecessary for combat and function… But then, why had they not removed the functionality? Why forbid it but not eradicate the possibility for it?
“Notification: Scanning, complete. Gateway-like structure suggests that this is a door. Other side: Unknown.” Shaking her head, the YoRHa unit cleared her head as the support unit returned by her side, providing her with the collected. Without 9S, she’d have to make do with just her own intellect and Pod’s abilities.
“Suggestion: Unit 2B should investigate further. Advice: Pass through.” Quietly, the analytical machine hovered on tow to its owner as she headed toward the gate.
Did Scanner models perform their research this recklessly? 2B wasn’t sure, but it would be the first time for anything. After all, she wasn’t meant for this task, as such, the execution was left to her judgement.
The Black Box within her fired up, providing the android with power as her legs picked up the pace, the heels of her boots driving into the ground to provide traction as she began an athletic run.
After all, if she was to disappear into the whirling madness, she might as well jump and prepare for the worst.
