In the flickering ceiling light she sees several pairs of yellow eyes watching her intently. Archon is sitting in silence, observing.
"What do you want Archon?" she asked and swiveled around to meet them.
“You are a constant danger to yourself. I’m here to ensure nothing fatal happens to you while you converse with that creature in your computer.”
"Curiosity killed the cat... yes, i have heard that term before." She said and grinned "But this cat seems to have a stroke of luck not to die to anything yet."
Archon makes a scraping sound that sounds vaguely like a sigh. “Doctor, it is a miracle of the Fates that you are not dead yet.”

"The i suppose it is better for me not to know." He said and smiled behind his baclava.
“Do you miss your wife? Do you wish to leave this place?”
"I think our marriage was... less delightful for her then it was for me. I think she is better off without me at this point. I was a mess." He said an shifted again "And if i left this place.. Who would reload the armory for the rest of the guards? who would patrol the worst hallways that everyone avoids?" he said "I tend to do the things nobody else wants to do."
“Selfless and fearless? A dangerous combination that will lead to your early demise. And you are replaceable in this foundation- I’m sure they would find another sad human to follow in your footsteps. Freedom of choice is something humans are gifted with- make use of it.”
"I suppose.." He said again and rubbed the back of his neck, chuckling "They gave me a job, I'm not gonna leave the first chance I get like the anomalies here." He tilts his head, thinking for a moment "I would much rather work here then be in some boring job."

'I guess there are many things that cannot be known. It is often safest, when dealing with unknowns, to assume the worst.'
“Would we be considered unknowns, Cato?”
'You, yes. I should not be unknown. I exist, to some extent, in everyone'
“That is true enough. I’m very curious as to your abilities, though.”
'What abilities do you have?'
“I was created through the innate fear of light, law, order, and celestiality that humans have. I am a being of light itself- it obeys me as its brethren and I can travel through it as I wish. But I am gifted with the enlightened knowledge of the finality of death. Should I call upon the bones of the skeleton in the body, they would free themselves and tear apart their host in an effort to flee their confinement.”

“Hm.” Archon studies him for a minute. “That is somewhat admirable. Do you aspire to anything?”

It slinks after her, phasing through the wall. “These drones are primitive copies of their human counterparts. Removing all aspects of humanity is a detriment.” It says in disgust. “I despise technology.”

It is empty of all people. There are three military-grade drones in it though.

Suddenly, a whirring sound is heard and one of the drones activates.

Her eyes widen, both in curiosity and fear. She pulls out her pistol from her shoulder holster and points it at the drone on instinct.
"Forgive the mess, I am trying to regain my sanity again."

It makes a buzzing noise and turns to her.
