In the dark, damp bowels of the facility, a pale, blonde android walked. Her dark golden eyes searching for anything interesting, she wandered.
While she walked, she hummed an old tune that she was very fond of. Though she couldn't actually sing the song, she could hum it. And so she did.

She heard something on an old, rusty management rail.

She paused and looked around. "Hello?" she asked in her usually calm, smooth voice.

"Hello," the rather mechanical voice said. "Name's Pendleton. Nice to meet you."
She had trouble making out the form, but she eventually realized it was an old, rusty, brass personality core with a purplish-blue optic. It was rather simple design, just an optic and handlebars, none of the multiplated of the newer cores.

She smiled at him. "Hello there. I'm Charlotte, the Music Core."

He made a nodding motion.

She looked around. "Have you been living down here?"

"Yes," he said. She noticed there was a thick coat of rust and grime over his brass shell.

Charlotte frowned a little. While she did find the bowels of the facility fascinating, she could hardly imagine spending all of her time down there.

"What?" he said, looking at her. "It's better than risking my hide up there, with Her around..." An involuntary shudder passed through his whole core-body. "She used to hound us AI task cores a lot. So I escaped and came down here."

"That sounds reasonable... But... You're terribly dirty, I hope you don't mind me saying... When was the last time someone cleaned you?"

"Not for a while, I'd say... you're the first one I've seen since I came down here." He gave a movement which could be loosely interpreted as a shrug. "Other than some mantis men, though they tend to keep to themselves."

"What's wrong?" he said. "It's not so bad down here, once you get used to all the dirt."

Charlotte didn't exactly like dirt or being dirty, but she could tolerate it. "I suppose you've been down here for a while, then..."
