Sonnet watched with amazement as he etched his name into the Earth. "Gabe. A lovely name." She declared, stepping back and adjusting the knot she had tied around her waist using the sleeves of her jumpsuit. "I'm Sonnet." Confused and tilting her head, she inquired, "No speech mechanism?"

His lights flashed green again as he nodded. Grasping the pavement in his hand again, he scratched the letters "W", "I", and "P" into the road, trying to indicate that he was an unfinished prototype before the disaster. Gabe felt happy communicating with this human- this "Sonnet" character.

Buck and Alex looked at each other briefly before Alex shrugged and slung his rifle back over his shoulder. "Hey Buck, I'm going back to resting. If she comes down here try not to blow her head off unless she attacks you first." Buck nodded his head and swiveled his head back to watching the above archer. Alex settled in to his little car shelter and hung up a large sheet to cover where he had ripped the door off. "By the way," he spoke as he fastened the sheet to the car, "how long until we hit our destination anyway?" " The Utopis air yard is approximately eleven point nine miles. ETA is three hours once we resume transit." Buck didn't move from tracking the archer as he spoke. Well, the robot watching her was kind of unsettling, but the guy's conduct along with his earlier question of 'are you okay?' pretty much solidified his trustworthiness in her eyes. Not many people would turn their back on an unarmed combatant. Those that would were either fools or so competent that it didn't really matter. If this man was the former he was no issue, if he was the latter then the fact that he hadn't attacked first made it unlikely that he was aggressive. She slung her bow back over her shoulder and looked for a way down, curious to see what these two were doing. She would remain on guard but for the time being she wasn't too concerned. She eventually found a pipe to slide down on a neighboring building, only a small hop, a grab, and a slide and she was down to ground level. Hopefully that didn't look too pretentious. Manako walked towards the robot confidently, inwardly alert but outwardly relaxed. "So, watcha guys doing?" And now she sounded probably sounded annoying, whytheheckamIdoingthispleasedon'tshootme- The archer took a small, hopefully imperceptible breath to calm her nerves, and hoped that she still seemed confident on the outside.

Buck stared at the archer, refusing to turn his gaze. "Our current objective is to proceed to the Utopis air yard. It is our hope that we will find a functional aircraft." Alex got into a comfortable position in the back seat of the car, covering himself with his coat like a blanket and lying on his bag as a makeshift pillow. "But I felt like resting first," he called from the wrecked vehicle.

"I thought all the aircraft were taken." Manako said with a little confusion. She hadn't been to the airfield herself, but she'd assumed everyone was taking any way they could out of this city. Maybe not though. She looked at the car as Alex spoke, and looked back to see the robot still staring at her and flinched backwards in surprise. "Can you cut that out please? I get you don't want me to hurt you or something but I'm clearly not going to do anything stupid. You've both got rifles and I've got a bow." Seriously, the staring was super creepy even though she couldn't really fault the 'bot for doing it.

Sonnet studied the letters in the earth long after she understood what they meant. "You're a rather remarkable machine for being unfinished." She commented, wondering who she should praise for their fine work; she made a note to later ask who created Gabe. "Do you know what your missing? I'm guess there's more than just a speech device."

The robot looked towards the car for a moment before responding with " Understood." Turning back to Manako, he returned to the subject at hand. " This particular airfield took a few direct hits during the fighting that destroyed everything, so most people automatically assume nothing is functional. We're going to see if that's true."

Gage was still for a moment as he processed the question. He began to scratch more symbols; one of what looked like a speaker face with an "X" through it and another of a crosshair with a "1/2" next to it. He looked back up at Sonnet, hoping she would understand what he was trying to say. He tried to remember more of what he was missing, but it was a bit difficult.

Sonnet felt at a loss at the second symbol, braiding a small section of her braid as she thought. "You can't fully see?" She wondered aloud, glancing at the robot to see if her guess was right.

"I see." Manako frowned slightly, trying to figure out what an aircraft would be used for. Even if one worked there was the question of fuel and also the fact that a flying vehicle was a large target in a world where just about everyone had a ranged weapon of some kind. "You seem to know what you're doing, more than I know what I'm doing anyway." The archer paused, wondering why she was saying that to a pair of strangers, before crossing her arms nonchalantly and speaking again. "You seemed concerned for me back there. It's nice to meet people who care. My name's Manako, and you're- Buck?"

Gage shook his head and tried to make the symbol more clear. He scratched two stick figures under the crosshair, one with a checkmark below it and the other with an "X" below it. He thought for a moment on how he could make this more clear, but couldn't think of anything at the moment. He hoped he had clarified it at least a little more.

The man passed out in the car is Alex," he said while gesturing towards the makeshift car shelter he had made. " And just because everyone else out here would sooner shoot you then question you doesn't mean we are the same. We believe in at least some civility."
