“No funny business tonight,” I tell Sophia as soon as I let myself into our shared room. The walk with Frances was refreshing. She brought up Veenure a few more times and I let her – when mama’s happy, everyone’s happy.

Who am I kidding? Doctor Luv is on the bed in the same nightie. She’s dimmed the lights and has already scooted over, making room for her favorite droid.

“Funny business? I think you have the wrong idea,” she says.

“Do I?” I place my hands on my hips. “I come to our room and you’re laced up in Victoria’s Secret.”

“I bought this at JC Targets.”

“You get the picture. What’s with all the lovey stuff anyway? You and I? Well, that’d be about the worst RomCom to ever hit theaters. Talk about a flick no one would catch. The critics would pan it and people would take to the streets.”

She pulls the blanket up to her chest. “What do you mean?”

“Here’s what I’m trying to say: just a few days ago, you could hardly stand to look at me. Now all the sudden, you’re treating me like I’m the bee’s knees. ”

Her faces flushes with blood. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Chuntao gets involved. “You can go eat a rotten egg that has spent two years buried in a boar’s ass, Humandroid.”

“Sophia, kill your AI before I do,” I spit in killer diller mandarin. “Chuntao, keep your trap shut, you dumb melon.

“Chuntao, power down. Sleep mode.”

After a long, loud, lengthy trouser blaster, the AI flickers off.

“Good, where were we?”

“You were accusing me of coming onto you,” she says.

“Were you not?” I take a deep breath. “I’m looking for drama right now.”

“What are you looking for?” she asks.

Did she ask provocatively? I point my finger at her. “I’m looking to charge and dive. I need to blow off some steam, no pun intended.”

The Loop. Just thinking about diving to the underworld’s underworld puts butterflies in my belly. I feel like it has been forever since I hit the mean streets, stirred up some trouble, took out some bigwigs and gave everyone who looked at me funny a piece of my mind. Been a day, and after one of those days, there ain’t nothing like a little twilight violence to settle one’s nerves.

“You’re going to The Loop?”

“Yeah, but later, after I’ve hit Steam with Aiden. We’ll do a little sniffing around Tent City, see what we can’t uncover.”

“I may join you for that.”

“No, you won’t,” I say firmly. “You’ll get some rest. We’ll need you tomorrow. Sniffing around is what Aiden and I do best. Once we get a lay of the land, we’ll have a better chance tomorrow of bringing that wall down, then we rebuild Bjurstrom, then we get the Sky Iron, then my avatar ass yet again becomes a flesh ass. I can’t wait to eat some pancakes.”

She scoffs. “You make it sound so easy. You recall what Ray Steampunk said, don’t you? You’ll have to destroy Dolly. As in destroy, as in D-E-S-T-R-O-Y.
