With the kid gone, it made things easyer to warn Rusty but Nickle remained cautious, there was alwais a risk that they may comback with renforcement. Since there was no immediate signes of danger, he followed the woman's lead. Somthing else he had to stay on the look out was to avoid contact with anything small enough to be absorbed by his armor or at the very least not making it too obvious. It was another part of his regeneration module and one that saved him quite a few times in the past despite the excruciatingly long process for absorbing anything larger then a coin. Since he wasn't good with mechanical stuff despite now living in it and obviously wasn't one to ask for help he had often resorted to ductaping pieces of metal sheats to damages that coudn't be fix itself, it was taking months to be compleately restored tho. As for why he didn't try that for his back well, for one he coudn't reach it enough to tape anything correctly and there was the missing part issue, he didn't knew what would happen with that and didn't felt like experimenting.

"Why did you come here? I know it wasn't just for repairs." Rusty questioned. She knew there was something else. She knew about the damage to his suit, she wasn't sure how but she could just sort of sense it. Over the years she had become pretty good at working with machinery. She also become good at reading people, at least bounty hunters and the other types of people that frequent her shop.

At her words, his gaze became sharper, the fact that she was able to read him that well was ... unpleasant. For a moment the though of it being a set up became mutch more possible in his mind. Nickel would have examinated the area in mutch greater details for any devices capables to be a threat to him but he didn't trusted the woman enough to take his eyes off of her. Since he was already here and not one to back down eather way, the enhenced human decided to bite the bullet. " Reason of my visit : there is a price on your head."

Ashes and Virgil decide to go to Rusty to get a check up to see if they need any repairs. They said their goodbye to the people they talk to and head to Rusty'd shop. Once they got there Ashes yelled, "Hey Rusty you there?"

Rusty chuckled, "Got anything to tell me... That I don't already know..? But, thank you for warning me... Anyway... You are in need of repairs... Do you want me to help?" She glances toward the shouting and sighs. 'Virgil and Ashes... Great... This guy is jumpy enough already... Without adding in those loud goofballs...' She glances toward Nickel and watches him for tells that will inform her of an incoming attack. "Back in the Docks! And be quiet, you fools!" she shouts back, still watching Nickel. She may act fearless but she knows even the best plans can go sideways. And that even an amateur bounty hunter can be dangerous.

Haz smiles at Ashes and Virgil when they enter the shop before returning to repairs.

Ashes waved at Haz as they walk to the back of the docks. Virgil sighed and nod his head at Haz to say hello. "Ash you know you didn't need to shout to see if Rusty is here," Virgil said to Ashes. Ashes pouted and said, "Not my fault that half the time she is busy doing something," Virgil sighed and drags Ashes to a see Rusty but see's another guy that is seems familiar to him somehow but shrugs. "Hi Rusty and don't mind the idiot here," Virgil said in a quiet voice while holding Ashes by the collar of Ashes clothes. "Yeah wait what!" Ashes said.

Naturaly, with Nickle already suspecting a trap, the arrival of two bounty hunters who were very obviously known by Rusty only ferther confirm it in his mind and he wasn't going back to that glorified laboratory. Just the though of being used as a puppet by scientists and military experts while the only thing he could do was watch was enough to make his blood boil. Immediatly he took the fighting pose he had learned all those years ago, back when he was still part of that war, maby even before, quite frankly he coudn't remember and coudn't care less about the exact date he learned to fight.

Virgil sees the guy getting in a battle stance and Virgil said, "Ma ma ma you don't need to be in an fighting stance we aren't going to hunt you if you aren't a bad guy," Ashes also said," Go to hell you dam government and I hope you die scientist" Virgil sighed and said, "Ash we talked about this," Ash said, "So what they could go to hell and die for all I care they took our family's Vir,"

( It could be fun to have Nickel be related to one of them somhow, he dosn't realy remember anything past the day he was upgraded so he may take some time conecting the dots and coming to term with it but it could be an interesting turn of event ^-^)

While Virgil seemed somwhat genuine, Nickel was still doubtfull the timing and the words of Ashes seemed more then a bit suspicious. He lowered his stance slightly but stayed ready to bring it back up if they showed even the slightest sign of it being a ruse to capture him alive. If what they said was real, he could sympatise with them but trusting was on another level entiery out of reach from those strangers. It did made him think of his own family, there was a time where he could have gone and look for them using old archives and data banks but he didn't wanted to change the image they had of his past self so he didn't bothered.

(Yeah it would be)

Virgil sighed and drops Ashes on the ground. Ashes hit with a thud and said, "Why do you need to be mean to me Vir," Ashes then pouts a bit. "And you have random out burst about hating the government and scientist which I understand and why we never take any missions from them," Virgil said. He turns to Rusty and said, "We can wait for a bit Rusty we can wait,"
