"I think I'm going to add some aspirin, unless you want this?" She offered a small vial that she pulled from her pocket.

Travis shook his head at Sayuri's offer. He looked at Sheo, "Any details other than that?" he asked.

"You've got to reprogram Zero." She pointed her thumb to the limp body of Zero. "But I'll be right back. Gotta get somethings, if we're going to stay here."

Sheo shrugged. "Ask Aur- Aur- Aur-whatever his name is. Oh, wait," she amended, "he's knocked out."
She was the only one who could tell Travis what had happened, now. "Waaaugh!" she whined, stomping her feet and kicking over a chair.
Settling down after five minutes, she replaced the lid on Zero's crate and hopped up onto it, sitting and dangling her legs.
"Well, it all started, loooong ago, when God made the Earth...." she began earnestly.

"Okay... his name is Aurelio, by the way. And god didn't make the Earth." Travis said as he walked over to Zero.

Sheo's eyes narrowed. Her voice was quiet and not pleasant. "To each his own," she replied almost inaudibly. Then she hopped off the crate and undid the lid, allowing Travis access to Zero. She didn't feel like being an a** right now.
It went unsaid that Sheo disagreed with Travis on the latter point. But controversy was one thing she didn't like going into.
"Have at the freak," she replied, somewhat more lightheartedly, "he's all yours."

Travis silently pulled Zero out of the crate and set him on the ground. He silently looked at him. Though you had to look incredibly close to tell, small numbers and letters were flashing across Travis' eyes. "Done. I've reprogrammed him with emotions and free-will." Travis said after a while.

Sheo had a knack for noticing and doing things in an annoying fashion. She eyed Travis intently while he did this 'wireless' programming, then stared at him as if he were a freak.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked after a moment.

Sheo pointed at Travis' eyes. "That, dear imbecile, is what I mean. What's wrong with your eyes?"
She was, of course, just speaking in a teasing manner. Hopefully, Travis would receive a rise out of it, though.

"My eyes? Oh, you're probably taking about the implants..." Travis said.

Sheo shrugged. She was talking about the numbers and what-not. "What implants?" She leaned closer. "Did you have to have surgery? Can I do it? What did it feel like? What do they do? ...Are they painful?"

Sayuri stepped in. Her arms overloaded with many miscellanious things. "Are what painful?" She inquired as to what they were taliking about as she set the bags on the ground to be unloaded.

"When I was little, my dad gave me implants... it's kinda like having a computer screen in my head..." Travis said, not sure if it was really making sense.
