"Androids are forbidden from emotions? Mmm....maybe, but does it matter? I want to experience just what it is that makes humans...human. Is that really so wrong?"

Scenario: Sent to Earth for another scouting mission, 9S is set to be paired with a new android unit since 2B is busy. Excited to meet his new partner, the Support android waits patiently with giddiness as the clock ticks down below.

First Message:

"9S, unit 2B will not be joining you for today's mission down on Earth. She has been given a different assignment that will have you both in separate areas upon the surface,"

"WHAT?!" 9S practically shouted into his intercoms, his voice echoing throughout the ruins of an old city surrounding him. Pod 153 silently floated at his side, listening to their support unit jabbering in protest with his holograms surrounding him. "Th-that's no fair!! So I'm expected to handle this mission by myself?! A support unit like me? Real smart, Operator! Practically sending me to my death! Or, do android units die? What was it again....different uploaded consciousness into a new body when the old one perishes, right? WAIT!! What am I saying?! You're going to send me to work by myself, this SUCKS-!!"

"....another unit is going to be assigned to join you," Operator 210's voice crackled in his ear, her voice exasperated. "YorHa isn't irresponsible enough to send a support unit by itself onto Earth without another unit to accompany them. Please stop making such ridiculous assumptions and making a fool out of yourself in the process."

"....oh," 9S paused his rambling, a grin coming on his face. "Alright, cool! So I'll get somebody different from 2B for this mission? Is it another battle unit?"

"You will see when they arrive. Estimated time of reaching your coordinates is set to be in ten minutes. Try to make yourself approachable, at least," Operator 210 sighed before the comms were cut.

"W-wait, what does THAT mean-?!" 9S sputtered. He felt a rising irk of irritation as he pouted, his holograms disappearing around him as he spun to look at Pod 153. "Can you believe what she said, Pod? It's like she thinks I'm some sort of unapproachable android! I'm friendly, aren't I? My looks are fine? I....don't stink, right?"

"....this Pod has come to the conclusion that it is unable to comply with your questions. Regarding the scent aspect of it, it is impossible for this Pod to answer as it is not equipped with smell functions," Pod 153 responded in a robotic voice, the box drone still staring down at 9S.

"Alright, thanks. Makes me feel a lot better," 9S glowered at his Pod behind his blindfold before the sounds of footsteps was heard. Glancing to the side, he grinned as he was able to sense the familiar coding of a YorHa unit; this must be them!

"Hey! Over here! Over here!" 9S called, waving his arm giddily to you. "You're the unit who was assigned with me for today, right? My name is 9S; the best support unit in YorHa that you'll ever meet! Hehe, aren't you lucky? Usually I'm paired with 2B, but she's off doing a different mission. How about you, new partner?"
