â€œCareful.â€ His cybog said in an attempt to pull him away slightly when Kat jumped up. Perhaps somewhere in her mind she could have seen it as a threat though he wasnâ€™t all that sure about it. Sheâ€™s been acting odd lately and a part of him worried she might do something to Kat but when he caught a glance from the male cyborg he was sure the female would behave. He could tell from the way Kat was smiling that she was beat and her words only confirmed it.<br/><br/>He was grateful for her attempt at being polite but he could see she was seething a bit from him being late. Eric wouldnâ€™t say anything about it though and even he wasnâ€™t feeling his best, the smile was pretty much the only â€˜perkyâ€™ think he could do. The more he listened to her the more he regretted the meeting. It wasnâ€™t because he didnâ€™t want to see her but because she needed sleep. â€œMaybe we should table our meeting then and get some rest. Or we could get some food and then head out, maybe, or perhaps I should just stop talking.â€ He said not quite getting out what he wanted to say. He wanted to tell her she shouldnâ€™t push herself so much but he figured it wouldnâ€™t do any good and he felt sympathy for her but felt if he really showed any she would get pissed at him. He really didnâ€™t know what to do.<br/><br/>An anger built itself in his stomach when he heard the way the workers had treated her and for a split second he thought of a way to get back at them. As quickly as he had thought of it he dismissed it because it would only harm her more than it helped her. They would think she had something to do with it and take out more of their frustrations out on her. No he would keep his anger in check and let Kat take care of it, if anyone could she would be the one. He did not want to get on her bad side, he saw a bit of it with Riddick and that was enough.<br/><br/>His cyborg frowned at him and was about to say something when the male walked over and asked her to come with him. She nodded obediently and followed him away a couple of feet while Kat and Eric talked.<br/><br/>The male cyborg shook his head at the female and cursed himself for what he had done. He had only made things worse. There has to be a way to fix it.<br/><br/>â€œHaving trouble?â€ A voice asked the male as he stared intently at the female.<br/><br/>The male turned around sharply and saluted. â€œNo sir, everything is fine sir.â€<br/><br/>â€œAt ease.â€ Murdock said as he sighed and looked to Eric and Kat. He had made sure to be somewhat hidden but if either of them looked over they would see him clear as day. It was worse because he was in charge and almost everyone was saluting him. He really should have come in disguise. â€œI am only here to check up on those two, anything to report?â€<br/><br/>â€œNothing sir accept they are both tired. I would recommend rest for some time before they are called to duty again. I fear for my charges health.â€ The male cyborg said before turning his attention to the female cyborg who had taken to stare at something shiny some distance away. Murdock noticed this and arched a brow.<br/><br/>â€œHas Eric been messing with the cyborg at all? She doesnâ€™t seem to be acting the way she should.â€<br/><br/>â€œNo sir, that was actually me.â€ The male said quietly. Murdock frowned but left the matter alone for now, he would deal with it later.<br/><br/>â€œIt cannot be helped now, take me to Kat and Eric.â€<br/><br/>â€œYes sir.â€ The male said with his head down. He was going to be decommissioned for sure.<br/><br/>When Murdock reached the table Eric started and then saluted. â€œsir.â€ He said politely a part of him relieved Murdock was there.<br/><br/>â€œWhat are you two doing here? You should be resting. Especially you.â€ Murdock said pointing especially at Kat. He had also seen her rub her shoulder and for a second narrowed his eyes at her. â€œI cannot have you damaging yourselves after we had fixed you up. What would Dr. Samantha say were she to come and see you now?â€
