A.M. shrugged. "Maybe i-if we fiiiiiind that core will know wha' happ-d." Her voice was starting to slur a little bit now. "A-aafter I find some-thing t-t-t-o eaaaaat...."

"Oh!" Savannah said. "I bet I could find some food! Don't move!" She ran out of the medical bay enthusiastically, her long-fall boots clicking with each step. Her humming faded as she disappeared in the corridor.

A.M. just sat there, blinking.

Meanwhile, off in some quiet part of the facility...
"You've got suck-er's luck- ooh, that's good!" Savannah tossed another can into the bag on her back, both complimenting the way she sang the first half of the verse and the contents of the can.
"Have you giv-en up?" She continued to sing as she moved through the empty hallways and offices.
"Does it feel like a trial?" Her voice echoed eerily through the halls. "Does it trouble your mind the way you trouble mine?"
She almost enjoyed being alone, simply because she could sing as loudly as she wanted and no one could judge her.

Out of the corner of your eye, you suddenly saw a flash of green. But the core quickly sped off on the management rail.

"Wha?" Savannah stopped singing and looked at the direction of the flash of green. "Hello?" She asked, worried that someone heard her. She looked behind her, deciding that her new-found friend can wait. She began to jog in the direction of the core, the cans in the bag on her back hitting each other in time with the clicking with her long-fall boots. She began to sing a different song for this direction.
"There ain't no rest for the wicked, money don't grow on trees..." She sang quietly. "I've got bills to pay, I've got mouths to feed..."

The core peeked around another corner, enough time for you to see it, and sped off in another direction.

"Oh!" Savannah started to run. "Wait! I won't hurt you!" She cried after it. A can or two fell out of the nearly full bag as she sprinted. "Please slow down! I promise I won't do anything bad!"

The core slowed, and then turned, its bright green optic looking at you. But it did not say anything.

Savannah froze in her tracks. "Um..." She raised a hand slowly. "Hello?" She smiled nervously. "I-I won't hurt you. It's just that... Other people and cores are hard to come by... I'm Savannah."

It blinked several times, the occasional spark coming from its casing, but didn't say anything.

"You're damaged..." Savannah said. She took a cautious step towards the core. "It's okay... I won't hurt you... Just... Let me... Get close..." She said slowly as she approached it.

It gave a little shivering motion but didn't move.

"It's okay..." Savannah said, her voice far more gentle than before. "I'm going to help you." She stood below the core, just barely refraining from touching it. "Can you speak?"

It made a 'shaking-head' motion, squinting its shutters and handlebars.
