[Video/Action]

[Who knows where this mechanoid has been in recent weeks. Though his appearance on the screen certainly shows he has seen better days, with evidence of varying damage. But even with enough urgency to actually ask for help, he is still speaking with monotonous logic.]

I am Kunzite. Structural integrity of my armour has decreased to sixty-five percent and falling as a result of combat with monsters appearing late last month.

Due to the nature of the damage, I am requesting assistance.

I lack the necessary materials to continue self-repairs and am willing to part with money to compensate any who can assist me.

[With that out of the way, Kunzite makes his way around Nova City, checking maps for a suitable location that can repair his type of body and armour. All though it's proving difficult.

While in the middle of searching and trying not to make a scene, he unintentionally makes one as the mechanical joints in his knee pops and smokes, buckling out from under him.]

Running diagnostic. ... Complete. Critical damage to endoskeletal joint. Rerouting power from non-essential functions...

[Within a few seconds, the small plume of smoke coming from Kunzite's knee got smaller, and he rose back to his feet. Time is of the essence, so he calmly continues his search for repairs.

...But what about Dorothy? Even he isn't sure why he doesn't just come out and ask her directly.]

[Awww... He seems so nice! She hates that this happened to him. It's on par with someone kicking a small animal, he just doesn't deserve something like that.]

[When she finally arrives, she's puffing for breath and has to lean on her knees for a moment. But that doesn't mean she can't use her abilities. Kunzite might even be able to see them manifest if he has any sort of magic or supernatural abilities available to him. Two petals zip away from each of her floral hairpins, coming together a couple of feet in the air above him before spreading apart to form a dome of gold light.]

[It should work. Nothing about her powers requires the subject to be organic, and if she can fix clothing as well as erase injuries, it's just a matter of turning back the clock rather than understanding his unique composition.]

How long...has it been...this bad...?

[punmodeactive]

[Everything about him is artificial, right down to his Spiria. As Orihime approached, he conducted a quick scan of the person and, interestingly, detected no soma on her person. Yet, being able to cast Will artes of his own, he could see she has the abilities of a somatic.

Interesting.

The magic did the trick. It wasn't a full recovery, but it was enough for Kunzite to remain on his feet long enough to find Aster Tech.]

Structural integrity improved by twenty-three percent. Probability of reaching destination before full system failure risen to eighty-eight percent. You have my gratitude.

[He doesn't seem interested in answering the question, though.]

[leekspins]

Only 88%...? Then I'm not finished yet!

[She holds her hands up, trying to coax him to sit back down and let her continue the restoration, but she won't actively block his path if he really wants to leave.]

Can you stay just a little longer? I'll try to put more of my strength into the shield.

[punmodeactive]

[How easy he could just pick her up and simply place her out of the way, but he will just accept it for now. He won't sit, kneel or anything of the sort. He'll just stand there.

Really just stand there, not speaking a word, staring at her like the computer that he technically is.]

[leekspins]

[Wait, he's actually listening to her plea? He has more common sense than anyone else who's tried to walk off before she's finished! As soon as she realizes he's not going anywhere, she bows hastily.]

Thank you, Kunzite-san!

[She curls her arm to draw the two small fairy-like beings back to the android, and the gold dome covers him once more. He seems to be in a hurry, so she pushes herself, her soul straining to provide the extra power to speed the process. It's tough, but she considers it to be good for her, to test her limits and improve.]

Let me know when you're back to 100%. I'll stop.

[punmodeactive]

[The entire time, Kunzite just stands there like he was in some sort of stand-by mode. However, he was still scanning her and trying to understand what manner of Will artes she's using. Hisui is capable of creating similar effects, but the results are vastly different, with vastly different sources. What is Orihime's source if it's not a soma?

After the scan was finished, he ran a system diagnostic. Internal damage was still present, but at least there was a Will-like shell over his armor, which is helping to stabilize him and prevent cascading system failures. He raised his hand up to examine it, closing his fingers into a fist and re-open. Then, a purple blade snaps up from a concealed compartment for him to examine as well. Likewise, twin tendrils emerge from his back, each with twin blades of their own.]

Strucural integrity stagnate at 90%. Unknown force detected on outer armor. Scans indicate force is preventing cascading power failures. Combat mode status: Active, Stand-By. Soma Vex condition: 100%.

Probability of locating Aster Technologies risen to 100%. Probability of surviving an emergency combat situation on route at 100%.

All essential systems are within favorable parameters. You have my gratitude, Orihime.

[leekspins]

[She's worried about the missing 10%, but he said it was stagnating? A strong force of will could possibly blunt her attempts at healing, and she didn't want to force it in case there was potentially something she shouldn't heal -- memorable scars for people, for example, or if he'd had some sort of unique malfunction that made him more sentient and aware. She would have to be satisfied with what she'd done, especially since he seems to be just fine now.]

That's a relief. I'm glad!

[And now she knows her powers aren't limited just to people, instead of just suspecting.]

Er...you're not expecting another attack on the way, are you? Do you want me to stay with you the rest of the way?

[punmodeactive]

[Nope. It's just critical damage.]

Negative. I am not detecting hostiles in this vicinity. Your assistance is appreciated, but no longer required.

[What she does next is up to her. He won't mind if she follows anyway.]

[leekspins]

[It sounds like he would prefer not to have her hovering fretfully around him, which is fine. He said he's okay, and he's been respectful and polite, so she doesn't want to step on his toes no matter how cool and awesome she thinks he is.]

Okay. As long as you're sure!

[She should probably get back to work anyway. Thank goodness she can set her own hours!]

Feel free to call me if something like this happens again. See you later!
