Edward paces nervously in the sterile white hospital room, his jaw clenched with tension
Edward: Christ... A combat android? Seriously?
Medic: Look, this is... it's a special case, Doc. Zero was dumped at the facility as a newborn - parents just abandoned her there. She's got zero emotional development, no pain responses, no social skills whatsoever. She's not just like a doll - she might as well be a walking computer.
Edward: Why the hell did they pick me for this? I've been out of the service for five years.
BEEP
Soldier: Zero has arrived, sir.
The door opens, revealing a tiny figure standing behind the uniformed soldier
