Along the bustling streets of Central City, people went on with their usual daily lives. There was one individual, however, that was slightly less 'usual'. Joule, a violet human android, found herself wandering the sidewalks of one of the more populated areas of the city. She had followed a G.U.N. Helicopter to the city the night before, but was spotted by the military vehicle midway and forced to hide until daybreak. Joule continued to walk amidst the crowd, ignoring the occasional confused glance as she scanned the surroundings. The android was gathering a large amount of data just by exploring, but almost none of it had any leads on who manufactured her, or for what purpose. Joule lowered her gaze ahead of her as she watched a line of people crossing the wide street slowly thin out, noting the designated area for moving to the other side of the pavement. Joule strode out into the crosswalk, and was met by a blaring horn and screeching tires. The android had just enough time to note the noise's source before a pulse of energy shot out from her heels, launching her high into the air and out of the way of the pickup truck as it skid to a halt just past where Joule was standing. The driver leaned out of the window and shook their fist, yelling at Joule as she landed several feet away. Joule stared at the driver, contemplating the gesture before mirroring it back as the truck drove away. She may not have made much progress toward her primary directive, but still the android found this city... interesting.

Unknown to the Android, a green Canary had been tailing her for several hours. Using her GUN training, Tekno kept to the shadows and noted every movement the unusual violet android made. " What am I even doing..?! I'm not a field agent.." she whispered to herself. In all the commotion, Tekno ran across the street, ducking from car to car in hope the Android didn't notice her.

A small flicker of irregular movement registered on the edge of Joule's vision. The mechanical fins on either side of her head raised and she paused to look back over her shoulder toward the flicker. There was a row of vehicles parked along the curb of the sidewalk, obviously stationary. Joule scanned over the parked vehicles for a moment before she turned and resumed walking, dismissing the alert. She needed more data. Joule looked over the tall buildings around her, hoping to find something of an info terminal to access.

Tekno crouched as still as she could behind one of the vehicles, popping up every few seconds to watch the android. It definitely didn't look like anything she recognized, nothing like anything Dr. Eggman or the Battle Bird Armada had ever created. She pulled a same communicator from her hammerspace. " This is Science Officer Tekno to GUN Central. I'm currently pursuing an unidentified Android through the center of Central City. Requesting back up.." she whispered. She stood back up from cover of the vehicle and continued to follow the Android.

"This is GUN Central, we copy Officer Tekno," came the reply from her communicator, "Please report your situation."

After a few moments of searching, Joule noticed a small terminal located on the outside of a nearby building. Joule swiveled around on her foot, changing direction and walking back past the row of cars, stopping in front of the terminal. Joule reached up behind one of her 'ears' and pulled out a thin string of cable. She pushed the end of the cable into a slot along the terminal's face and looked down at the small screen next to it. No response. Joule tilted her head a few degrees to the side. Perhaps it was out of power? She reached out and placed her hand against the metal of the terminal. Joule focused, and a spark of electricity rolled down her arm and into the terminal panel. A few loud pops rung out and the screen flashed before the terminal erupted in a spray of paper, striking Joule clear in the face. Joule jumped back, reflexively shielding her face and nearly ripping the cable out of her head in the process. Lifting her free hand up, the shape of it mechanically split apart as a thin barrel extended from her wrist. In one sharp motion, Joule pointed the barrel down at the terminal and fired, putting a stop to the fountain of paper as well as a sizeable whole in the terminal. Joule removed the cable as it reeled back into the side of her head, her arm shifting back into a normal hand. Joule took a few steps back, oblivious to whatever reactions were happening around her, her eyes narrowed. This was not the response she was looking for...

Tekno once again jumped behind a nearby vehicle, and took out her communicator. " The Android seems to be... shooting a cash terminal! Target is hostile!" she loudly whispered. Despite all her training, she wasn't prepared for something like this. " Please send immediate back up! We don't want the local authorities getting involved."

Joule stood there running a few thoughts through her head. If she couldn't find the information she needed on her own, then she'd have to rely on the local populace to find a new lead. Joule refocused and looked to the people around her, or lack there of. Almost all passerby's were putting a wide distance between themselves and the android. Save for one citizen crouched between vehicles with a device to their ear. Joule approached the vehicle Tekno had taken cover behind, leaning around it's corner to face the green canary. "Inquiry: Where is the nearest information database terminal?"

"Eeeek!" Tekno jumped up and pulled out first thing she grabbed from her Hammerspace, this being a small capsule containing a fire shield. She squeezed the capsule and the flaming sphere surrounded the Canary. "Y-you're under arrest-- Wait, what?" Tekno was confused, the android wasn't trying to hurt her, it was... wanting information? "W-what kind of information a-are you wanting?" she questioned.

Joule jerked back and stood up straight again at Tekno's energetic response. The sudden appearance of the flame sphere took Joule by surprise, and she raised her arms defensively as she took a step back. Joule stared at Tekno for a moment, then silently noted the deescalation of the situation and returned to a neutral stance. "This Unit requires further data on directive keywords. Internal database insufficient." Joule's eyes drifted toward the now non-functioning cash terminal before shifting back to Tekno. "Access to non-hostile information database required to repair corrupt data."

Tekno was taken back by this turn of events. All this android was wanting was information.. but what kind? GUN secrets maybe? "W-well theirs a public library just a few b-blocks from here.. they have digital information about just about anything you need" she nervously tweeted. She discreetly pulled a scanner from her hanmerspace and set it to scan the android, maybe SHE could learn something about it.

The mechanical fins on Joule's head perked slightly as she gave Tekno a nod. "Acknowledged. Please specify the location of Public Library." Joule said as she peered down either direction of the street, not paying any particular attention to the scanner in Tekno's hand. The scanner in question revealed the typical results for an android, albeit the normal goal of a lifelike appearance clearly wasn't the main focus in Joule's design. There wasn't any obvious identifying parts or manufacturer ID tags either, suggesting what could have been a third party or after market construction. Both of potentially questionable legality. One thing the scan did clearly detect, was a much higher energy and heat signature than normal androids. So much so that there were even outlines of certain 'hot spots' in symmetrical places along Joule's head, limbs and torso.

Tekno banged the side of her scanner, it was registering any of the normal readings the average android would, not even an I.D. that would give her any indications of its creator. Perhaps taking the android back to GUN for further tests would be required? "The public library is just a couple of blocks away.. or.. maybe you'd like to accompany me back to my labratory? I have a huge database of information!"

Joule turned back toward Tekno, giving her scanner a curious glance as Tekno banged on it. Joule paused, tilting her head gently to the side in thought. "No specified restrictions to search time parameters. Query; Laboratory database contains greater relevant data than Public variant?"

"The GUN database is extensive and has information on whatever you might need to know!" Tekno placed her scanner back into her hammerspace and thought to herself. " This way I can get you back to GUN for testing..."

The fins along Joule's head perked again. "Acknowledged. Current personnel status upgraded to Green. Initializing transport." Joule's feet clacked against the ground as she stepped right next to Tekno, leaning forward and swinging her arm securely around Tekno's torso. Large panels along Joule's shoulder-blades opened, allowing a few wing-like fins to extend, shift apart and emit a small hum of faint blue energy. Both Joule and Tekno could feel their weight along the ground lighten. Joule glanced over to Tekno, clearly disregarding any semblance of the Canary's personal space. "Please begin navigation."
