A standoff between Aila and Lisa at the stairs of a fire exit. Lisa laughs as she points her right hand's index finger to Aila's forehead 

"That's a rude way to greet your older sister. It's been decades since we last met. Don't you think I deserve a warm welcome?"

"You do know the reason why I am locked inside that glass tube?"

Lisa flicked her short blonde hair in an elegant way, then lowered her index finger down, then Aila lowered her gun in unison 

"The tube is made to contain you and to protect you from those bastards."

Aila calmed down and sighed in relief, and Lisa walked towards the railing of the fire exit stairs.

"Good to see you alive and, importantly, under restriction because of a host"

She vaulted on the railings and dropped down the building after seeing how well her younger sister was doing.

"For goodness sake, we are on the 4th floor, your thin structure will be damaged."

Aila murmurs to herself and starts to he'd down the stairs and go to a gunsmith.

Somewhere in the slums of the Enterchant colony

"Let me ask you again, what did you learn inside the research facility?"

A dark small space Kyle is sitting on a chair, tied up and being interrogated by two thugs 

"Mr. Kyle, we just want to learn what you have seen inside that facility."

"I already told you I saw nothing inside; all I can think about is getting out of that building; this bullet wound in my leg is proof that I'm running for my life."

Kyle's screams as one of the thugs takes notes 

"Mr. Kyle, we only need the information on what you've seen inside that facility!"

One of the thugs removes the strap on his pistol holster 

"I can give 3 chances. Mr. Kyle, if you won't talk about what happened at that facility, we will be forced to put a bullet in your head. "

Kyle replied with

"I fucking said I have no idea what happened inside the facility because I am too busy running for my life."

The thug raised the pistol and aimed directly at Kyle's head 

"Two chances left, Mr. Kyle. What happened in the basement inside the research facility?"

The thug starts to cock his pistol, ready to fire at anytime 

"Last chance, Mr. Kyle, what happened inside the basement?!

"Like I fucking said, I don't know the answer to your fucking question."

Kyle is panicking, thinking of ways to survive when a shadow that resembles Aila but is shorter is seen moving stealthily behind the thugs' back.

"I beg your forgiveness for intruding."

The shadow walks straight to the thugs, showing a beautiful face wearing a traditional maid outfit  

"Who goes there?"

The head of the thug got kicked by the maid, alerting the last thug to point his pistol at the maid's head 

"Bitch! "You're going die!"

As the thug pulled the trigger, the maid swiftly stepped forward, placing her hand on the barrel of the gun 

The maid's hands were in point-blank range  but the bullet didn't pirce 

"You're not human, are you?"

As the thug comments, the maid pulls out a tanto knife on her thigh underneath a frilly maid dress. A cut is made in the thug's throat. Blood comes out of the thug's neck and she slowly dies on the spot 

"I don't know you, but thanks for taking out these thugs. You saved me."

As Kyle expresses his gratitude towards the maid, the maid gently bows to Kyle, then greetes him 

"Good evening, Mr. Kyle I am a doll sent to rescue you. "

The maid doll quickly freed Kyle from the chair and proceeded to ask for payment 

"Mr. Kyle the payment"

Confused Kyle's response with

"Ten thousand creds will be enough?"

 the maid  shows him an information terminal located at her back of her dress

"Do you want to pay by transferring through your scavenger account or do you want to pay using your assets?"

" I'll pay with my account."

The maid swiped and clicked some buttons on the information terminal 

"The cost would be seven thousand creds in total. Please place your hand in the terminal so we can finish the transaction."

Kyle places his hand in the terminal beep. A sound can be heard on the terminal indicating that it is starting to scan Kyle's hand 

"Transfer complete. Thank you for your patronage."

The maid quickly walks away from the scene, leaving Kyle alone in a dark warehouse in the middle of the colony slums.

"It's already dark. I need to get out of here or I will surely encounter hostile people."

As Kyle is walking down the road leading to a clinic, he encounters a shop full of guns and attachments.

"Yo! "Human, aren't you cute? You want to play with me?"

A blonde doll with a long black coat can be seen holding Kyle by the arms, intentionally letting his arms touch her breast He felt the flesh like sensation and although a doll was holding him, he quickly shoved the blonde doll away and stepped back into the cation 

Kyaa the doll let out a cute moan as Kyle made a room between them.

"Ahhh!Your no fun. Tell my sister hi and she is waiting for you at that scrap yard. "

The blonde doll points towards the scrap yard behind the gunsmith building 

"Who are you? Why do you know Aila?"

As Kyle questions the doll, the blonde doll disappears and nowhere To be seen in the vicinity

Kyle was slowly walking towards the scrap yard under the moonlight. He saw a table equipped with some mechanical arms equipped with the tools for making a bullet 

"So you are alive. I thought you would be killed by that maid."

Kyle's mood quickly turns to worse as he looks at Aila 

"Why send a service maid? You know they cost a lot and I know if I don't pay that maid will slit my throat."

Aila walked towards Kyle and hugged him 

"Don't you worry, human, I won't let any humans have you."

As Aila hugged Kyle she place her head on Kyle's ear and whisper 

"Whether you like it or not, you are stuck with me until you take your last breath. I will have you."

Kyle, realizing Aila's threats, forcefully tries to shove Aila away, but Aila won't let go 

"Never again, I'm going to lose you."

Aila murmurs to herself. Aila then releases Kyle from captivity and starts to explain.

"First things first, you have to be treated."

The same maid doll appears behind Kyle's back and carefully treats Kyle's wounds 

"Now where were we?"

The maid doll finished treating the wounds and slowly moved behind the back of Aila 

"Now you have been promoted from corporate slave of scavenger, you are now free from that company, meaning you can either start your own private scavenger business. Or retire"

Aila then shows the information terminal that was left in Kyle's room and slowly says the numbers 

"10 million creds is on your account right now and we are going to use half of that to build our own private company."

Aila proudly explains the plan as she spreads her hands wide, showing the scrap yard 

"Though we only have the haft of this scrap yard, we can now start building out our company."

Aila starts to clap her hands, and the maid doll follows the lead of Aila and starts to clap too.

"Wait, wait, wait!! You spend 5 million credits on just a piece of land ? "

Furious Kyle held Aila's shoulder and asked

"Why not? Did you spend 5 million Creds? "5 million creds  enough to live in a good place until you die."

Aila points towards the sky and talks

"Your promotion comes with 10 million creds and a personal service doll, so why not figure out a way to make more money?"

Aila then walks toward the bullet making table and adjusts some of the mechanical arms 

"The 7.62 bullet manufacturing machine is finished."

As Aila is celebrating her success in making the machine, Kyle's vision starts to blur again, collapsing to the ground 

"You have done well for today. Rest for a while."

Aila carried Kyle's back to his room in the tall building
