Hexxis slowly reached a hand up to her head again, the noise wasn't exactly dying down, and she was still struggling to keep it at bay. Calm down, just calm down. She took another steady breath and listened to Mara talk about Ree, the noise pushing back hard as she began to think about Ree and what he just did. He bought himself time, but at what cost. He outted her and Tri and even so, what if that had put them on Haven's radar with such a show. She gritted her teeth a bit, the anger shoving back hard against her mind. "Ree was angry about my leave. He inquired about Ashral and I attempted to avoid the conversation, but in the end I was forced to tell him. I wanted to warn him so I nullified his sight teleport in hopes of buying a bit more time. He retaliated with a command that I was unaware of. I can only assume he has used this distraction to attempt to locate Ashral before I could." she explained, her voice unsteady. "Mara, she kissed him. Ashral has feelings for Ree. They agreed to discuss themselves as something more upon her separation. I wanted to warn him of this, that it was too dangerous for him to remain in her company as he would risk her discovering he does not love her." she frowned and shifted her eyes, "I can only conclude that I was wrong in my attempt to warn him. He had decided to go to her, which I can only assume his answer to her confession to him."
Hexxis hesitated and sighed, "I cannot blame him. As well, I cannot label him a traitor. I do not have evidence to sway the previous claims of him, but he is not a traitor for his actions today." she spoke calmly, hand still on her head. She seemed to have been sticking up for him as she turned to look at Tri. "I knew of their conversation, but I kept it from you... I felt if I had said it then while Ashral was listening, she might have acted on it. I likely could have prevented his reckless behavior over this had I just told you. I am so sorry." She confessed then looked back to Mara. "I have no reason to give for why I should be allowed to be let go. I willingly comply to lawful confinement."

"W-What?!"
For who knows how many times since she has regain control of SIU had she wished she had Kae here to talk to about this. It would likely blow her brain as it was doing with hers. A Malice falling in love? Did Spectrum even have something similar in their file? Why was everything recently been pushing her to go talk to Spectrum.
Ree was less oblivious than Tri but he never showed any interest in girls or guys, she heard of a few flirts here and there but nothing serious. But ran off with a Malice? What the heck...what happened? was she really completely off about his personality?
"...." she stared at Hexxis, a flicker of respect for defending someone who she would have been ranting for days for what he did. "You did good.. I just wish you told us earlier " she muttered lifting her hand to run it through her hair and just his her helmet. "...." lower her hand insyead she looked carefully ay Hexxis ten at Tri.
Tri watched Hexxis, trying to stand but that made his vision swim, he was just trying not to doze off and the anger was helping. He couldn't blame Ree for reacting at having his powers blocked, it was a reason the younger meta avoided wearing a collar even for things he could have learned. On the other hand he couldn't believe Ree would use a command like that on Hexxis, she was likely right though about gaining time. He picked Zaku instead of Zephyr and who knew where that muse was now...maybe somewhere close to Norcrest though...not in the city because that would be to obvious.
Zephyr....he rarely felt strong emotions against someone but right now he felt very strongly against that mercenary, stronger than when Lucien kidnapped Mara. It wasn't just the mercenary, normally he wouldn't have cared, but that was hard to push aside when knowing he had been with Hexxis for a month considering his reputation. Yes he looked all lovey dovey there going to stupidly hug her when it was a tense situation. Yet Zephyr had the experience to seduce those who wish to be or did not know better, he didn't trust it was at all truthfully or that meeting Hexxis would have changed him from years of the same much less in a month.
"....That will be trouble. Haven wants her,as we talked, you think that they care that Ashral is missing? No" he said harshly not looking at Hexxis at the moment, still just surprised that she stopped that they were even here having this conversation, it worried him now. Actually.. was the merc around still in hiding? Nothing is ever simple.
"It is also my fault bringing Ree, but I needed another pair of eyes. It was a risk but I was hoping that Ashral wouldn't be brought up" he said simply glancing up at Hexxis, anger and worry still present but he was blinking trying to keep focus and looked away again. Not telling her about not trusting her partner... he was right and wrong.
Mara groan and switched back to Comm closing megaphone. -Anadii. Can you trace Ree's phone? Just to let us keep tabs on where he is. - she muttered very softly before switching back. Fine he wanted to find Ash they will keep an eye on him until he does.
"Well we don't have much of a choice right now. I am leaving this to the Belrad government. I have... good expectations but that is only for Hexxis. Tri...... I think you better go encase. I can make a good spin on you for this still. But if Hexxis needs a break out.... yea sorry Hexxis. Maybe it's time to try getting that warrant off you. " she looked between them talking softly after turning on the megephone in 1 again.

Her breathing was calming down, and the noise still persisted but wavered here and there, bits and pieces of a song in her mind that she could barely hear over the sound. She remained silently, eyes drifting to the floor and frowning as Tri explained why he brought Ree. It was understandable. She closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind as slowly the noise was hushing and her expression faded more and more back to her normal deadpan look.
She opened her eyes again as Mara suggested Tri to go. Looking to Tri, a glimmer of pain in her blank eyes as she sighed and turned back again to stand there, staring at the ground. This was not anything she wanted. She would be losing both the things she fought for but it would be for the lifting of the warrant. Was that worth it to her?
She took a step back toward Tri but kept her position facing Mara and kept a hand on her head. "...I will not leave Tri." she muttered and went silent, standing there, waiting for the anger to come at her irrationality over this situation.

Anadii listened while they spoke, not really understanding what was going on for the most part. This was all... things that had occurred prior to it falling into their possession, after all.
You are not a possession.
It pushed the 'voice' aside, doing as Mara asked and sending out its connection to Ree's phone... Since it had already connected to it before, it really wasn't a huge ordeal to do it again...
"I have Administrator Ree's phone traced. I will remain locked onto it until further notice. Should he turn it off, I will lose my connection."

Mara glared and resisted the urge to cross her arms as she looked over at Hexxis. "Well, I can't take him with us . If it was only stolen SIU property that would be on the same boat as you, but he has been seen around with Ree and one other large thing that got themselves into ...which frankly there is no easy way around." She glanced down at Tri then looked around the area with a larger sigh and finally back to Hexxis. " Then if needed he can get you out if things go south" she said even softer as she motioned to Tri and shook her head.
"Now is really not the time to be stubborn....if needed I will put out a search on your partner as accessory or thieft. He doesn't even have the excuse of not knowing you weren't wanted...I can even go after your mercenery company and see how badly organize and corrupted they really are too. Trust me no one wants the attention I can put on them if you don't come" she continued quietly.
As she waited for Hexxis answer she switched over again to only Anadii. -Good, very good. Can you keep a seperate sheet to track where he has been and how long he has stayed there? - she muttered before switching back, pretty sure that Ree wouldn't be expecting them to use Anadii to keep tabs on him. Muhahaha.

Hexxis was trying to think. Mara was explaining that Tri couldn't go with. Then what was the point. "I will not go back without Tri." she protested without thinking, her anger beginning to boil but was quickly overtaken by something else. Mara began to threaten repercussions for not going with her. Things she didn't want. No, she wanted to protect them both. She couldn't stand the thought of Tri having to fight off of Ashral alone, nor the thought of the entirety of SIU against Zephyr. Her heart pound harder than it ever had and the noise roared up louder than before. This wasn't what she wanted. She wanted to love. She wanted to stay with Zephyr. She wanted to stay with Tri. She wanted to stop fighting. She didn't want to be a weapon anymore. She wanted to feel. Her thoughts were consumed with despair, fear, anger, regret, longing, and an urge to run.
Tears welled up into her eyes and spilled down her cheek as the pain from the noise was to much and she grasped her head and tell to her knees, and clenched her teeth hard.
"Catastrophic compromise detected. Intiating breakdown protocol." she spoke automatically, her voice robotic and almost garbled.
Her eyes widened in terror as her own realization for what was happening. "No... NOOO!!!" she exclaimed in fear, unable to move as she let out an agonizing scream of pain and curled towards the ground on her knees.
Then she was silent, she was still breathing, still conscious, just hunched over. She slowly came to a calm stand, her expression as blank as it had been when she was walking ealier. "Compromise eliminated and errors have been fixed. Experiment 001 - Codename Hexxis is now functioning properly. Authorized owner Mara Gold, please give a new directive target otherwise current directive target will be selected." she spoke monotone and her expression never wavered as she looked directly at Mara, standing there completely still.

Anadii pulled up its spreadsheet application, quickly putting together a method to track Ree's movement according to Mara's specifications. "Yes. I am now tracking the data you have requested: location and duration of time before movement. Is there anything else that I may assist you with?" It paused, listening--
Was that a scream?
It held the phone away from its ear again for a few moments, then pressed it back.
"It is inadvisable that such loud sounds be continued, it will undoubtedly attract attention to Administrator Tri."

Mara let out a breath, this was why she never even thought to send her an order. If Hexxis was anything like she was when she was younger than it wouldn't have mattered. Stubborn and proud...Hexxis wasn't anything like the blank faced child that came to them two months ago, there were emotions now ,tears. it would have made her proud if she wasn't being decidedly stubborn about this. Didn't she see the benefits? Out of all three of them she had the least amount of tarnish, it would also be a stepping stone for Tri as well. Even if not the benefits didn't she see how she could avoid a pain to others? They couldn't excatly continue standing here talking, likely being watched by those cowering near by.
"Look, I wi-......what?" She took a step back as the monotone voice returned and the screaming started on that fearful tear streaked face. Sh** what was happening now!? Wait...breakdown protocol? Sh**!!!!!
Tri jerked his head up and turned to stare at Hexxis as she screamed, he had been allowing Mara to handle it as he rested for a bit longer. They would need to leave soon anyways and he could speak to her before he "escaped". Except that was not how this was going to go. Surging to his feet he stumbled only a step as his vision went black then faded back in as his heart beat frantically.
"Hexxis?" He took a breath and knelt back down in front of her, eyes wide with fear as the screaming just stopped and she stood to look at Mara with all the deadness she had before, just like when Ree gave her that command. Pushing himself to stand again he stared at her then toward Mara hopefully but with dread and fear...breakdown protocol that was the file they had been trying to open...maybe Mara could shake her out of this one too due to the command.
"..."//sh**sh**sh**// she thought staring at Hexxis then at Tri and back taking a breath. Here we go again "state current directive "
Switching very quickly to Anadii she nearly yelled at him again. - To late, I think most of Terterra already heard it. You said earlier you could try once more to break the breakdown protocol file?- trying to get her options....but not really wanting to involve Haven in all of this before switching back with a sense of worry.

Hexxis stood there, eyes blankly fixated on Mara as she waited for a response.
"State current directive."
She blinked before opening her mouth to answer the command, not even pausing to look at Tri or acknowledge anything else. "Follow prime directive as instructed by base programming. Follow protocols with set parameters as directed by authorized owners or original owners.
Implement kill sequence, upon sight of specified target." she answered in a calm and monotone voice. "Please give a new directive target otherwise current directive target will be selected." she insisted again, not even rephrasing the question as she merely stated it again in the exact same tone. She paused as her eyes shifted downward for a fleeting moment then returned to Mara again. "I have detected I am missing the component Item 0-01. Shall I continue functions without this component or shall I initiate the next level of the breakdown protocol due to full compromise?" she asked, still standing there perfectly still, waiting silently for an answer or another command.

"...Yes, however I can no longer strengthen my influence over the security system and will have to go at it at a lower power level. Doing so is much harder and they will likely figure out that I am attempting to open the file and be able to discern my location." It frowned slightly... Whatever was happening must be serious enough to risk exposing their location to Haven. It wasn't exactly... pleased about that.
You will not be able to resist them.

Mara paled under her helmet and wondered what Haven was thinking of activating a kill command when she..when she was? Was it because she disobeyed an order? Well...darn it.
Taking a deep breath she glanced at Tri before looking back at Hexxis even if he couldn't see her do so." Continue to function without component" he stated blankly wondering if she could cancel the whole protocol but then it might decide...which meant who would she sic her ad- that yes may work. "Directive target:Ametrine Gold " seeing Tri flinch at the name but keeping her eyes on Hexxis.
Switching quickly to Anadii her voice sounded blank.-forget it. Cross fingers because this could be you... With the wrong sequence activated- she muttered and switched back to megaphone.

Hexxis still didn't move as she watched Mara with an intense vacant stare. "Understood. I will continue to function without component Item 0-01." she answered, and waited for the answer to the directive she needed. She listened and gave a nod. "New directive target established and authorized by owner Mara Gold. New target Ametrine Gold confirmed." she blinked and became silent, still staring at Mara, as if waiting for something. There was still no change in her expression or stature as she continued to focus of Mara and absolutely nothing else at all.

"Very well, I will not continue efforts to open the Haven file. The voice we spoke of earlier states that I would not be able to resist them should they discover me." It blinked, pausing to listen a little more... "Is there anything else that I may assist you with?"

Mara stared back at her "Was there something else?" She asked worriedly as Tri moved to lean against her. They both waited for her to return or say what she needed before she could return, worrying about the scream and the "fix".
-....yea I think you won't. No that is all..just record what you hear so we can look through it later if you can - she muttered before switching back.

Hexxis was silent as she shook her head slowly at the question. She stood there, still staring directly at her before her eyes shifted downward to the ground as she stood there, reminiscent of how she looked when they had first seen her. She didn't speak now, only waited. Waited for a command or a question. She hadn't even acknowledged Tri for the moment.
