Seeing how talkative Ai was being, Eiji decided to push it and ask: "May I ask how you lost your left eye?"
"This? Ah well, my own stupidity. Mai almost lost her life because I forgot about the last stand program in the first type machina. In order to save her, I tried to protect her but I didn't dodge fast enough. It's fine though, I am working on a cybernetic eye. Hope to have it done within a year. Enough about me, tell me the truth, what happened to you that brought you to seek shelter from someone you had only seen once?" Although the two were talking they never once stopped looking at the mutants in front of them. Ai was only being talkative since observation was a boring task.
"One second, look over there, what is it doing?" Eiji pointed to a certain spot near the wall of the base. A large mutant that seemed to be a mix of different animals was hunched over, its skin was glowing and it was starting to form pulsating boils all over its skin.
