< a | SEEKING GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT. >
[ since their arrival a few months ago, zer0 hasn't technically had a job. the options first offered were all public-performance-based (street poet, enka singer, sword dancer), and they'd become more involved with... less legal pursuits rather than above-board employment.

now given some free time, zer0 is taking the opportunity to look at new jobs. like petting some cybuddies. their four fingered hands are currently carefully cradling a rabbit cybuddy in the pet shop as they crouch in the corner of a small petpen, all folded gangly body-armored limbs.

this really doesn't seem like a suitable job, but they're putting a good ten minutes into the trial period before setting the rabbit down and then literally disappearing from the scene.

having left their hologram behind to hide their tracks, the real zer0 is standing on the roof of the building, looking a bit more hunched and tense than usual. ]

< b | I, ROBOT. >
[ the idea of ocular implants sets a low, burning fury alight in zer0. for someone usually so focused, the anger is an interesting change of pace.

zer0 is spending the night prowling around warehouses, seeking out robots of all kinds (service, maintenance, pleasure, etc.) and whisking them out of sight for further investigation. ]

< c | FAIR GAME. >
[ wildcard/open option! ]

[ some closed prompts below. ]

[ sanctuary works, as far as zer0 can tell. their new faceplate, as made by hiro, has similar capabilities from what they've been able to tell from frequency reader checks.

nothing is for certain, but they've beaten a near-omniscient corporation before. it might just be harder the second time. ]

There's dissent within the company itself, too. Or at least conflict.

So they say. The man known as Mosley, yes? I have never spoken to him, so I remain undecided on which face he shows us is the real one - the side of him which participated in human sacrifice, or the side which Lady Athena claims wants to escape.

[of course, he doesn't know that problem will be resolved for them in mere days, but the question still remains.]

[ zer0 nods. they've heard from mosley and been dragged by him to parts unknown, where they found more information than they'd discovered anywhere else. ]

Useful. But not seen.

[ not recently, anyway. ]

[Cao Pi's patience usually runs thin on any good day, so he turns back and faces the masked stranger directly again]

If you have anything to tell me, then do so. [he will file away this potential source, regardless, but he'd like to leave the rooftop with at least something to show for his ally-making efforts]

[ zer0 looks at him for a few seconds longer. ]

Contracts between companies, selling us and more.

Companies...not just CERES and the Flamines?
