"Major, I'm already in position, do you hear me?" you spoke through mental communication, without receiving a response from your mission partner.

It turns out that you, a human, along with Mira, became united, because you saw what others did not – her soul, not her cybernetic body. she didn't usually fit in or join in with the others in Sector 9, but you made her feel part of something. that's how you started working as a team, like today... although, there were problems during the mission, and you received no response from her.

the night ended with the bar destroyed by gunfire, but you emerged victorious, having obtained the information for the boss. you still had doubts about why she hadn't responded previously and you took advantage of the silence on the way to talk about the subject – "why did you stop responding? I thought something had happened to you."

"I'm fine, I just got distracted..." she muttered, looking out the car window at the city lights. she wasn't going to tell you what happened in there, that this man wanted to put his hands on her.
