When the stars shifted position and light swashed over the colony once again, signalling a passing of a day, Hiroto blearly opened his eyes.

He languidly moved his body and stumbled to his feet.

He may have not slept a single moment, but at least he felt slightly more rejuvinated.

Glancing out the window, the market was already awake and bustling, crowds of people drowning out the surroundings.

Hiroto stepped over to the door and rested his palm on the lock.

Eyes flashing a brighter red thqn usual, he flicked through his memory files to collect the passcode.

Entering the 80 digit code, he exited the house, quietly closing the door behind him.

Stepping out into the moving crowd, he was swept up in the motion and soon found himself being shoved along the market.

Karma woke up with a hefty yawn, all stats maxed out. He stretched slightly then remembered his guest below. Descending the stairs, he was worried to find his guest absent and his lock decoded.

Crap. There was no way he would find him again, his model was a very common one.

He stepped outside and relocked his door, then set out to find the boy he had begun to feel slightly fond of.

A hand gently grasped Hiroto's, and he turned to see a person who had a similar model to him, but was decidedly female. They had the same build, with all the colours and shades, though with a slightly differant outfit consisting of a knee length blue dress, and hair that reached just past their shoulders.

"Hello, are you lost?" their voice however, was very distinctly differant. They must have altered their voice. It was nice to hear that they didn't sound identical to him, since Karma had in fact sounded slightly alike and it was unnerving.

He nodded at the girl. "Yes... You're the same model as me right?"

She smiled. "Well they assigned me as 'Ryūsei' so if that is your model's typical title then yes". He nodded and she shrugged. "So. You haven't answered, are you lost?"

"A little" he admitted, feeling sheepish again. "I got swept up in all the kefuffle.... I was only released yesterday. I kinda know some of the shops but... Not how to navigate"

She looked suprised. "They never taught you how to use your navigator?" He shook his head. She shrugged. "Pull up your system modifier" She lifted her hand and a hologram screen appeared beneath her fingertips. Hiroto instinctively mimicked this.

"Ok, go to Settings 1" she indicated to the first symbol prsent on the menu. Hiroto selected it. "Now, go to 'navigator' and click 'constant' he did so. "Now exit your screen"

When he exited, in the corner of his peripheral was a small hologram map, which automatically detailed everu building when he looked at it. He experimentally looked at a rather large looking building, and a small glowing line surrounded the structure, before a small database popped next to it, descripting it as a "limb enhancement clinic"

He smiled slightly, and turned back to the girl. "Thanks.."

She nodded. "Call me by my tag, '#76' please" he agreeded silently.

"So" she stepped forward a few steps before spinning on her heel and beckoning with her finger. "Wanna get a better feel of this place?"

He nodded, and her fingers encircled his wrist, pulling him along.
