595004 stood motionless in standby mode at the moment. She did not have anything to do at the time, thus, she instead decided to take this time to process all the stuff she was going through at the moment.
Her conversion was unique...it was done in two step process which left her and the others like her as mannequins for awhile. There were a number of Scouts that had done procedure done on them...rather then just immediately being converted, they were instead kept in a 'storage state', of sorts, akin to supsended animation.
This reckless usage of such a method might have gotten overlooked by the council but not by Raina or Hecate, both of whom outranked the Council.
Thus were able to force this practice to end immediately after they became aware of it. As result of this there was a debt going on about what do with those that were converted after being left in storage state for some time. There was not just one scout that was using that method but others doing in their own ways that took time to flush out and discover.
"That was a good sleep cycle" 595004 said to herself out loud as she finally got the go ahead to return to her duty that she was kept from as result of the incident that was her conversion.
She was kept from them because there was process where she was put through various checks to ensure that her time as a mannequin did not have any long term affects on her.
595004 crossed her arm once she had finally gotten the go-ahead. Though being delayed in doing her job was the MAIN annoyance even more was the small Engineer that seem to a take a personal interest in her above all others. There was something about 004 that just seemingly got the engineer's eye and thus she got set aside so that they could examine by 'Erica' personally.
Erica's interest had kept her here on the ship with the rest of the colony, rather than being on the ground doing what she was suppose to as a Scout.
"At least she's not here NOW, as the Scout that gave me the go ahead already knows her. She claimed she managed to help in getting me cleared for duty, it seems. I have yet to actually meet them though, though I will have to thank for this" 595004 said as she began to walk towards the teleporter that would lead them down to the planet they were using at the moment.
"Really what was up with how we were treated in the first place!? Getting stuck in a state like that and calling it 'storage'!? I think the older Scouts were just being lazy or trying to hold on to enough of us to pad their quotas or something" 595004 said as she shrugged her shoulders as walked down the hallway.
