"Indeed." Leo replied.

Sure enough, they got to work, but about 40 minutes into it, the lights and power started to flicker some, causing them to lose some of their work. Thankfully they backed up a couple of times, but it was still a setback.

"Awww, hell." Leo said.

"What NOW?" he asked.

"We can't work if the power is gonna fritz like this." he commented further.

Lunet was silent before looking to the lights.

". . . . " She didn't say anything before sighing, heavily, as she got to her feet.

"The breaker might be on the fritz again. Usually is in this area because of how much power is used." She told him honestly.

"I'll go talk to Dad. I should be able to check it out. Back in a few."

Leo nodded.

"All right." he replied.

"I'll leave you to go and do that." he told her.

"Let me know if you need help." he said.

"I'm just going to make sure none of these flickers end up frying Chloe's circuits." he then mumbled.

"Please do." Lunet said before heading off. She made her way up to the head office before being told to sit and wait. Once she could head in, after about ten minutes when someone else left, she just sighed.

"Hey Dad. I need into the hub room for the building." She told him.

"Power is on the fritz in R&D again, and Leo and I are trying to get Chloe up and running again."

Hal just looked to her, and sighed.

"Great." he said.

"And I don't know how soon I can get someone there to deal with it." he muttered.

"...you've done it before, right?" he asked.

"Think you might be able to do it now?" he asked further.

"See if you can identify the problem, at least?"

Lunet nodded.

"I have a suspicion I know what the issue is, and if it's what I think it is, then I've done it before." She told him.

"Gimme access and I can hopefully fix it before the entire citcuit is fried."

Hal dug in one of the drawers he had, before taking out a small marble and tossing it towards her.

"You know the deal." he said.

"Go on." he told her.

"And tell me what's going on, and whether or not you can fix it, or did fix it." he went on.

"Regardless, return here ASAP with a full report, no matter what." he finished.

Lunet nodde d after catching the marble.

"You know I will." She said simply.

"I'll be back. Worst case scenario, I'll call you." She added before heading off to do just that.

As she entered the door in question, she was silent. Her visor seemed to flash... something... for a second before she shook he rhead lightly. She knew where it was that she was going, but also knew there was more that she needed to do. While in there, she found herself doing as she had been told to do just earlier that day. It was after that, that she made her way to the electrics second and looked it over. She flipped a switch a couple times before pausing, and calling Leo.

"Yo, any change?" She asked after he'd answered.

"Yeah." Leo replied.

"There's been some more flickers, and then it really flickered rapidly, but now it seems like it's stable." he continued.

"Hang on a sec." he went on, before pausing.

"....nope." he said.

"No flickers." he told her.

"Dunno what you did, but seems like you either fixed the problem, or it solved itself."

"Perfect. I'm going to stop by Dad's office to give him the information and whatnot, before making my way back to you." Lunet told him honestly.

"I'll see you soon." With that, she headed off, knowing that she needed to do that.

She stopped by her Dad's office again, and this time she didn't have to wait. She was beckoned in immediately, and approached his desk.

"Here's the marble back." She told him.

"And yeah, I think I fixed it. Just had to flip the breaker a couple times. Basically a reset,."

Hal accepted the marble, and nodded.

"Good." he replied.

"I'll get a tech down there soon to see if there's a more permanent fix to be made, but as long as it works now, that's what matters." he reasoned.

"You really are a whiz." he continued with a chuckle.

"A clever girl, for sure." he added, ruffling her hair slightly.

"I have my moments." Lunet commented with a light laugh.

"Anyway, yeah. It'd be cool to get that more permanently fixed, as there's a chance that it could happen again... and I'd rather not see Research run into issues like that." She said.

"Since th epower dying at the wrong time could cause some slime monster to ooze through the halls, and all." She added with a laugh.

"Given what Kiah experiments with, that honestly wouldn't surprise me in the slightest." he responded with a bit of a wry chuckle.

"But I know what you're saying." he said.

"For now, just concentrate on getting Chloe up and running again." he went on.

"If you need my help, you know to just ask." he added.

"And thank you for the temporary fix." he continued.

"You've got a knack for this sort of stuff."

Lunet just shrugged

"That's one way to put it." She commented with a laugh.

"Anyway, I'll let you know what's going on with Chloe, once I figure that out." She then said.

"There are... some really weird errors. Almost makes me think someone tried to hijack her. Almost." Was the last thing she said before heading off with a promise to keep him posted.

She stepped into the cafe, her long wavy and full black hair tied back in space buns that looked far too thick to be natural. She wasn't sure where the one she knew would be here was, but she found him easily enough. Standing in line, of course.

She stepped into line after him, waited until the person ahead of him was up and placing their order, before she paused.

"Oh wow, Az?" She asked, her voice a very unmistakenable one if one had heard it. It naturally seemed to have an ethereal echo to it.

The one she had spoken to paused as he was addressed.

He was silent, before the gears turned in his head.

"....wait..." he said.

"Wait, hold on..." he muttered, turning around.

He regarded the woman that had addressed him, and was silent for another moment.

".....Gab?" he asked.

She just chuckled lightly.

"The one and only." She said simply with a smile.

"I... didn't expect to run into you, to be honest." She told him before pausing for a moment.

"Shouldn't you be at work?" She asked, her tone curious.

"I didn't expect a run-in with you, either." Azazel commented.

"And I'm actually on break." he told her.

"..." he was then silent, before smirking.

"Alone." he said.

"Care to fix that?" he asked with a light chuckle.

Gab just chuckled.

"Yeah, sure thing." She said before the one ahead of Az stepped away with their order.

It took all of five minutes before they were both sitting somewhere with what they were after.

"I just got into town." She told him after a moment or two.

"Sadly, got fired and had to move. But I know I mentioned that was a possibility."

Az was silent, and just sighed.

"Yeah, you mentioned that." he said.

"Said it had, like, a 55% chance of happening." he went on.

"...seems that 5% made the difference." he mumbled.

"But you had to move?" he then asked her.

"Where are you going to live? And what kind of job are you going to do here?" he asked further.

Gab just sighed lightly.

"Honestly... I'm not too sure." She admitted.

"I have a cheap shoebox of an apartment at the moment, thankfully. I mean I have a place to live, that's something I can't complain about." She paused before sighing though.

"as for a job... I have nothing so far. I think I'm going to stay with what I was doing - look for something administrative. Y'know, a receptionist or something."
