Snippet #2827601

Voidwalker.
That was only what he called himself, really. He forgot his name a while back, but the Company called him 13-AE.
The company was why he was here, on Langara. Simple collection of information in a hazardous environment, relating to a target demographic in the Aschen Government they were trying to reach. They needed someone disposable, somebody they could simply remake. He had been sure to go through all of the proper channels, to be as legal as possible. The Company provided most of the things he needed, but they ultimately left it up to him to actually do the work. Maybe they were afraid of getting into his way, but he had no way of discerning that.

He wasn't a human being, despite how much he looked like one, how much he was one, biologically, at least. His mind was there, it had just been reduced to nothing but mass a long, long time ago, at the time leaving his body inert. Now, he was more reliant on his soul to pilot his physical matter, something he did from a distance. Maybe it was possession, he had no way of knowing, and nobody else had any way of discovering it. A miracle, maybe. It definitely helped with the biometric monitoring the Aschen had, as he was seen as simply functioning, and his mind was simply sparking with regular thought, something he was able to control almost perfectly.

In any case, maybe that disconnect from a mind, the eradication of anything but consciousness, contributed to his ability to notice Koishi. For a moment, he just sees her as a girl, dressed quite dissimilarly from the average Aschen citizen, something he had done his best to emulate. They didn't usually take kindly to outsiders, evidenced by the "Two Minutes Hate" that occurred not far from here. Then he noticed... the influence the girl gave out, the subtle command to ignore, ignore. It washed over his body, and for a moment it almost worked, before he forced himself to deny it.

It was curious, for sure. He pauses for a moment, appearing to check his watch, staring up through a mirror under the watch hands at the security camera observing the crowd. Yes, it was following her. Interesting.
He weighs his options for a moment, considering whether or not to involve himself, all the while staring at his watch. On the one hand, this didn't involve him, and it would likely have some impact on his mission. On the other hand, time was not an issue, and it probably wouldn't impact much to simply assist, however mildly.
He decides to help, however mildly.
He begins walking after Koishi, walking towards the girl before turning to walk alongside her. He stays quiet for a moment, weighing his options of what to say, before choosing the simplest option and speaking.
"Greetings. What brings you here?"
