Oni came back from his time online, and took a moment to allow his mind to take in the single reality again. It was just enough time to receive his pat on the back from the Major. Her question was proof of the fact that even AI posing as women took the unfortunate avenue of being indiscreet. He chuckled and shrugged as they boarded. He was attracted to the kind of power not inherent in someone’s musculature. Iffy was exactly that, a pure source of oppressive strength meant to move worlds in the Net. Still, it was so out of the blue that he couldn’t help but feel an ulterior motive was in play.<br/><br/><em>’Damn shame when you, of all people, can’t trust a computer, buddy’</em>he thought as he took a look at the airship. When the Major yelled for him to get forward and clean up some mess, Oni suppressed a groan. Sure enough, a dead body waited for him in the cockpit “You gotta be fucking kidding. Who’s going to fly us!” He shouted as she left. She didn’t say shit about no pilot, and he was convinced the poor bastard’s death was meant purely to fuck with him. They’re in an airport…where the hell is he going to hide a body out here!?<br/><br/><em>’Stay frosty, Oni…stay fucking frosty. No where on the ship…that would be a problem for later</em>. He had glimpsed a maintenance bot cleaning around the airport, a distance away and nodded. The bot had no ties to his ship, like the cargo hold did. The pilot would be identified, but hopefully they’d be in the air and miles away by then.<em>’Worth a shot…’</em>he thought as he closed his eyes.<br/><br/>The freefall to the airport’s security was surprisingly lax, but maybe that was because he was accessing their bot servers. Who the fuck thinks anyone’s going for the bots, right? He had to make this quick, which means he had his trust cleaner right behind him as he moved. In and out, and no one gets hurt…except for his present company meat-side. Once the proper change was made to the bot, and specific directions given, Oni slipped back out of the net and the cleaner took care of his egress before it simply dissolved and vanished.<br/><br/>When he opened his eyes again, Oni saw the bot now driving towards the airship. “Well…let’s get this shit done” he muttered, as he dragged the pilot’s body out of his seat. Moments later, he was feeling a little clammy and cleaning off some of the more minute traces of blood and brain splatter. It was through sheer will that he didn’t add to the mess with his own insides.<br/>
