Ciel was sitting at a cooly glowing computer screen that depicted a simple but effective file management screen. A humble data server consisting of recycled parts hummed next to her. A couple of generic, volatile biometal prototypes sat in their molds nearby Each one dwarfed the actual data server in specs, but they weren't yet designed for permanent data storage as they were still in the testing phase. On the screen in front of her she was managing a backup of the so-called Zero's mind while she made repairs to his body. He had suffered what amounted to a hardware failure in the head, among other places, and had been unconscious when she found him as a result. Thankfully his personality and memory files were still intact and it was just consciousness that was the issue, but all of his parts were so old that she was just replacing all the parts she could. It was probably for the best, anyway--and getting to work on Zero's body like this was pretty ...'interesting'~
Hovering over Ciel's shoulder, watching her work with a sweet bubble tea in one hand, Ashe was pretty relaxed. She'd been playing lab assistant for Ciel, using her exceptional knowledge of ancient technology to assist the other in making repairs and managing the work. The two girls were good friends because of their backgrounds and shared interests, even if Ashe was decidedly pretty far down the sliding scale of tomboyishness compared to Ciel. It also helped that Ashe's synthetic body itself was a very interesting thing for Ciel to study. It definitely wasn't human, but it also was distinctly not robotic.
Thankfully, days worth of work was about to pay off. Ciel was already uploading and re-imprinting Zero's consciousness back into his body, watching a series of individual file transfers laid out in grid format slide along as the computer worked. Most of the bars were already full, and others were nearing completion. The knowledge that Zero would soon awaken made her heart race. Toggling his body online, she immediately got up and moved to greet him when he woke up. It would take a minute for his body to cold boot, something that didn't normally happen outside of creation or extreme repairs or the rare full shutdown state, during which she could position herself beside him so that he'd have someone to talk to or ask questions when he woke up. She also wanted to know what had happened to him, of course! Ashe decided to chill out at a modest distance, not wanting to crowd the awakened reploid now that he was awake. It would be awkward to introduce herself to someone she lent a hand in building!

"Z...Zero?! Where... Where is Zero?! Tell me where Zero is! I will tear that fake Reploid to scrap metal with my bare hands! I am Omega! I am the real Zero!"
