Snippet #2552542

"I'm doing alright!" Buttons managed to get in before the customer opened the door. He looked up to see a large man enter, and felt a tad bit scared. Large robots and cyborgs frightened him, because Buttons was well aware of how easily they could obliterate him, like a can in a can crusher. However, once this man expressed some kind of kindness, he relaxed somewhat and leaned against the counter to listen to their conversation with morbid interest. He had not been alive for very long and didn't really know what agents were like "back in the day", but he trusted Alina when she said they were skilled.

The mysterious man with a barcode on his forehead sounded rather threatening to him. He just knew that this man was not an isolated incident; that more strange people would come to the slums and lash out violently. Buttons was terrified. He must remember to lock the doors to the dumpster tonight.
