"Wha- Wait a minute." Cylus says, looking at the small robot floating next to the man. Suddenly, he seems less tense and more fascinated.
"Is that some sort of artificial intelligence... In a physical form? Bu- how does it do that?" he asks, referring to the ghost's ability to disappear and reappear.

"For his type of AI, it's the oldest trick in their book," Mark explained, "And he practically is stuck in his shell."
-
"Shell?" Cylus seemed intrigued, even through his helmet his emotions were shown through body language. He had been searching for a way to give his A.I, Q, a physical form of his own. "My apologies, I've sort of been having a rough day. The name's Cylus. And you?" he says, extending a hand out to Mark
-
"Mark-54. I've had a rough day," the Hunter shook the man's hand, "But doesn't mean I should be threatening."
-
"And I shouldn't channel my anger out on a stranger either. How about a drink?" Cylus suggests, gesturing for Mark to follow. "Are you new here to the dojo, Mark?" he asks
-
The Hunter caught up to Cylus, "I've been here, on this planet, but I never explored the Dojo..."
-
"Ah, I see. Well its a nice place, maybe after this I can give you a tour. But for for now, what do you like to drink? We could also eat if you're up for it." Cylus says as they walk
-
"I could go for a few drinks," the Exo replied.
-
They walk until they reach a bar on the other side of the courtyard. "I know a couple of the guys here, they recommended I try the food." he said. He chose a table and sat down, waiting for Mark to accompany him. He gestured for a server who came and left them with 2 menus.
-
The Hunter pulled down the hood of his cloak, and took off his helmet. Mark was an Exo-- a robot with human memories and emotions. He was once human. But now, he was a collection of mechanisms, plating, and paint. [spoiler]http://i.imgur.com/TXtNXPW.jpg[/spoiler]

"That would explain the -54 in your name. So are you some sort of A.I. too?" he asks, removing his hood and helmet.
-
"I was human. Now all my memories, and thoughts have been put into this robot body. That happened centuries ago..." Mark explained.
-
"Ah, not artificial intelligence, but an uploaded conscious. Fascinating." Cylus says. He gestures for the waiter and ordered a drink, then looked to Mark. "What'll you be having?"
-
"I can drink, but I can't eat. So I'll take a cold beer."
-
"So how does that work?" Cylus asks, raising his brow "How can an exo like yourself taste or even digest fluids like beer?
-
"I have no idea..." Mark said.
-
"Interesting." Cylus notes. "So Mark, what's your story?"
-
"It's a long story," Mark replied. "You always say, the longer the story, the more interesting," Havoc chided. The Exo sighed, "Okay. So my story begins, well with me dead."
-
"Hey" Cylus says with a smile. "I've been there, cheers to that!" he chuckles
-
"Anyway... this AI," Mark said gesturing to Havoc, "Revived me. It was on.... Dang it, where was it?" "Mars," the Ghost said, "Mars, in Freehold."
-
"Mars? Huh, back on Earth we'd been trying to colonize for years. I wonder how it's going back there..."
-
"In our timeline, we had colonized it, the Moon, and Venus, within decades after the Traveler arrived," Havoc said. "Now, since humanity is close to extinction, it's all in one City. The rest of the system's colonies in ruins," Mark said.
-
"Yeah, that is definitely different from my earth. I assume with vast colonization came unforseen threats? New species, new enemies?"
-
"Yep. Four of them Traveled to the System," Mark said, "For the past 18 years, I have been fighting them. But the fight spans centuries."
-
"Sounds rough." Cylus comments as he takes a drink of his beer. 'How many of you guys are there? Fighters, I mean." he asks.
-
"In our timeline, over a thousand."
