Ford quickly ran out of money, because this is not a cheesy action movie and he doesn't have huge pockets. He was then tackled by two members of their elite Guards of the Revolution, who pinned him down and handcuffed him. He looked at Neko, who was standing up, and pulling shards of glass out of her arm from where Ford had thrown her, and snapped at her "Get me out before tomorrow or you will regret it." the Field Martial put her arm around Neko protectivl not wanting her to be hurt by such an evil ass, who was really making her feel less evil for her military policy. Ford was dragged into the dam building, which about 3/4s of the way down they had made prisons.
Geneva felt no need to really argue either of the first two points, because she too was becoming sick of arguing. She felt bad for arguing so much, but she had never made a real romantic connection with anyone, despite having slept with almost a thousand people over three years. She sighed and said "Fine, I understand. I guess I will have to make you see the virtue in dating me over the course of this trip." she smiled slightly at her and said "Electra, you haven't had sex with me, thus you have no idea what sex really is." she grinned in a mischievous way and said "Am I Electra? What could a silly girl like me know about infiltration? I mean it isn't at all like I know how to act like a Hegemony soldier to please clients with very weird fetishes." she had a slightly teasing and girly voice the whole time. It wasn't really that she liked anything herself, her personality had adapted to like whatever the person she was with liked, other than a handful of base things.

Liana just watched the whole encounter with amusement, making no indication to want to stop Ford from being arrested. She was sick of dealing with him. Same with Jim. He didn't make much indication to intervene either, but he wasn't watching with amusement, and was just watching with an unreadable expression on his face.
After he was dragged off, Liana went over to Neko and the Field Martial, and Jim just followed. "Are you okay Neko?" She asked, then looked at the Field Martial. "It was only a matter of time before he got himself in trouble...." She said, shaking her head. "He's been a pain since I met him" She said, clearly referring to Ford. Jim just stood there in silence.
Electra Electra nodded, and seemed to be nodding half sarcastically. "Good luck with that" She said in a sarcastic voice, apparently being kind of a douche and not expecting her to have any luck with that. She chuckled at what she said, and shook her head. "I have no idea what sex is really like in the first place, and I don't plan on finding out in the near future" She said simply. To the next thing she smiled slightly, then made a face. "You probably don't want to know what crossed my mind when you said "Infiltration"..." She said quietly, shaking her head. "Well, shall we go back to looking around? We probably shouldn't risk getting caught. I don't know what the punishments here are, and I'd rather not find out if it's bad" She said to Geneva.

(Timeskip-2 Days) The Hover Hegemony had kept the people detained within the city, because of Ford's insult they couldn't leave until he was let go. The vehicle had been moved into the city itself, and Neko was working on upgrading the bus with Hoover technology that was superior to the tech they started with. She was working tirelessly, and wouldn't eat, drink, or sleep until her master was free, she seemed very nervous about what Ford was going to do to her if she did anything but repair the vehicle. Geneva had attracted the attention of a Hoover General, a butch woman who was around 30 who really enjoyed the young woman's company. Ford had spent his time pacing around a five foot by five foot cell without bed and only a bucket for waste, and no one ever emptied the bucket.
Today it was around 2 and almost time for Ford to be let go, because he actually never had formal charges pressed against him and Geneva was 'talking' to a general in their army. No one but maybe Neko wanted him out, but they needed him in order to get out of the city. Neko was there waiting happily, hoping to see her master happy getting out of prison. Geneva was gently licking the neck of a high ranking general while holding her lightly in her arms.

During the 2 days, Liana hadn't done a whole lot. She kept rather quiet, even for her. Though, she did speak obviously, mostly to Electra about some things. Stuff that mostly wasn't important, just idle chit chat about various things. Electra was also teaching Liana more about her weapons, and how to handle them, along with cleaning them. Liana was thankful for this, even if she wasn't too fond of the idea of killing people. It at least helped her with being able to take care of her own weaponry, and defend herself. Liana had also not met anymore boy's that were trying to 'woo' her, which partly relieved her and partly made her sad, to which she thought of that way too much, but eventually told herself to stop freaking thinking about it and just moved on to something else. Jim had also done nothing noteworthy. And Electra's shoulder injury healed some, but it was still sore, because 2 days isn't really much time for a wound healing. But she had plenty of scars from when she was alone, and wounds that still hurt her every now and then to this day that she practically ignored it.
Jim was at a bar, and both Liana and Electra had reluctantly come to watch Ford be released. Electra really wished she could just punch Ford and leave him behind. She wished Ford would just stay arrested. But nope, they supposedly needed him on their journey. She hated the asshole, and really didn't want to have to deal with him more. Liana didn't either, but she hadn't complained about him quite as much as Electra did vocally. Probably about the same amount mentally, though. Either way, both of them just watched him get out, and being Electra, Electra was just happy at the idea of finally moving again. Liana wasn't so much keen on that idea. Electra looked over at Geneva, and made a face at what she was doing, before getting distracted with looking at something else.

The Hoover General slowly pushed Geneva back and then addressed Electra "Given how you seem to be a person of the world I will addresses this to you, our propaganda minister, one Ms. Hollinger, would like to speak to you guys if successful, and we would be very interested in purchasing the device if it worked." she knew the propaganda minister was once just a friend of their leader, who happened to be a good actress, back when all of Hoover could come watch one play together. She then stiffened up and Geneva walked behind her and slid her arms around the woman's torso, both of them smiling in unison, Geneva seemed to genuinely love this woman, but that was just because Geneva was a fantastic actress.
Within a few more minutes Ford walked out of the prison, his armour still totally intact, because he was sealed in his suit from rust. Neko perked up and cried out "Master!" in a really happy way. She ran forward to give him a hug, but after she got close to him he grabbed her hair and picked her up by it. She let out a cry of pain at her entire bodyweight shifting to her hair, luckily she was really light though. Ford walked along holding Neko like that, back to the bus. Geneva looked at the general and said "Thank you so much my love, I must depart now, but I will hold you within my heart this whole trip." the officer smiled and kissed Geneva, before pushing her toward the bus, which she promptly hurried toward.
Once the other two were in the bus they would find Neko begging "No, please master, I'm begging you, please." and Geneva was as pale as a ghost, knowing exactly how Neko felt, how hopeless. Ford then opened the door to the secondary steam compresser. Neko was trying desperately to get away, showing the first signs of struggle sense she was ten. Ford just rolled his eyes and used his superior strength to shove her into the tiny compartment, hardly big enough for her. Once she was in Geneva started to break down in tears, and Ford latched the door shut with a padlock, then turned a valve and Neko let out a scream that would probably haunt even Electra, for once she wasn't a slave, but just a girl who just had boiling steam and water flood a small compartment she was in.

Electra turned to Hoover General and listened to what she had to say. She looked at her questioningly after she finished, seeming like she didn't trust her. Which was pretty normal for Electra. Electra didn't exactly trust people easily. Except Liana, though it took her awhile to really trust Liana. 'You mean the device we are going off to find? I'm not really sure we plan to sell it. Besides, I don't know if I can trust you. Or anyone with it for that matter. What if you used it for your own personal gain? I believe we will be careful with what we do with it' She told the General.
Liana just remained normal when Ford came out, but Electra seemed to be glaring at Ford, though behind his back so he wouldn't notice. Electra couldn't understand one bit why Neko would be happy to see her 'master', but she didn't say anything obviously. And when Ford started being a dick some more, she looked pissed again, but just followed them because she knew intervening was pointless. Liana and Jim both followed as well.
Liana frowned when she heard Neko begging, but just sat down because she knew intervening was pointless. It pained her to ignore it, but there was nothing she could do without getting herself in trouble. Jim also sat down. Electra on the other hand continued to stand up, looking pissed some more. Which seemed to be a regular occurance for her. Probably because she was just a rage-filled, angry person now. That didn't mean she wasn't nice, though. Now when Neko was locked into the room and Ford turned the steam on, even Liana seemed angry, but it was hard to tell because she just broke into tears, having a hard time even imagining what Neko was going through must feel like. Electra was even more pissed, and she had to try hard not to just give Ford a piece of her mind. Instead, she came up to Ford as calmy as she could. And the truth was that Electra could be haunted, since the attack on her town haunted her still to this day, along with a few other encounters she had on her way to here. She may of been tough, but the mental impact was still there, and it bothered her in her sleep regularly. 'Ford, do you really want to do that? She's more use to you without major burns. If you do this, you could give her major burns and maybe even kill her. You don't want that, do you?' She said to Ford in as calm of a manner as she could.

The Hoover General chuckled at Liana "Oh dear, I would never use it for personal gain, only the gain of the Hoover Hegemony. A gain which you could greatly profit from, think about how grateful our leader will be once you give us that device, and we get our fleet of airplanes, and UAV drones back online, along with the Vegas strip. Oh it shall be wonderful."
Ford scoffed off what Liana said "Don't worry, I won't kill her, and she will continue to work even with severe burns if she knows what's good for her." there was a feeble banging and Neko desperately pleading "Please Liana, don't leave me in here, it is so hot I am suffocating." that was not much of an overstatement either, each breath burnt her lungs, so she tried not to breathe much. Geneva started to break down crying "Ford, please, just let her out." Ford laughed at the request "Not on your life Geneva."

Electra gave the Hoover General a questioning look, like she still didn't trust her. Or, more specifically, she wasn't sure if she trusted the device under the hands of the Hoover Hegemony. And she really didn't care if the fleet of airplanes and UAV drones got back online. She didn't know a lot about those, but she knew enough about old human military equipment that she really didn't care if they got back up and running. "We'll see, I guess. We'll think about it" She told the Hoover General, which typically meant "I'll make some excuse not to tell you no". It's not like Electra wouldn't flat out say no if she wanted to, since Electra could be pretty to the point if she wanted to be.
Liana and Electra Liana looked pissed, and Liana didn't typically look pissed that easily. But mostly she just looked upset that Neko had to deal with such a big asshole, and there was practically nothing she could do for Neko without getting herself in trouble along with Neko. Yeah, she was willing to risk her own life for others.....but when risking her own life would probably accomplish nothing at all for any of them, it wasn't worth it. Hearing Neko made her start crying again. "I'm sorry Neko, there's nothing I can do" She said to Neko, rubbing her eyes and hesitantly sitting down, closing her eyes and covering her ears.
Electra mean time was really, really trying hard not to attempt to stab Ford or shoot him in the face, because he was such an asshole that she really wanted to do something. All he was was a sadistic freak that got off on the pain of others. She clenched her fists, and the only thing that stopped her from attempting to sock Ford in the face, despite the fact it would be pointless, was that she currently wanted to live. That she wanted to finish her mission, for her family. And she knew attacking Ford may be the end of her. Yeah, she had been suicidal. But she stayed strong and went for this long for her family, and she wasn't about to end it now. So she just hoped Neko would be alright.....or as alright as she possibly could be.

Ford walked to the front of the bus and Neko's sobbing could be loudly heard, knowing she wasn't going to get out. Her small steaming hot container, hardly even big enough for her. As the engine started Neko was thankful, because that ment she might be able to spend the trip not being in total misery. She kept whimpering as small amounts of new steam circulated in to keep the current steam nice and hot for her, well not nice, but you get the picture. Geneva tried to cover her heard and cried into her seat, not entirely because she felt bad for Neko, but because it also brought back vivid memories from her training as a slave.
(Timeskip) The bus stopped slowly in a small town, Ford called out "Provisions stop, we will resuply with fresh fuel, food and water here. I shall take care of that, do not fear." he walked backward and opened the small compartment with Neko in it, and she came rolling out and said "Thank you for letting me out master. You are great and merciful." he nodded to her "Now be good Neko, don't make me put you back in that steam chamber." Neko nodded quickly "I won't master, I will be a good girl." she looked like Hell, her skin was a bright red, but wasn't as burned as you would think. Her hair was soaked and matted to her face, and her clothing was like mindedly soaked. Ford walked off the bus and Neko exclaimed "Isn't he merciful to me? I was only in there like 30 mins, maybe a little more." she was cheery again, which was quite the testimony to her personality. Geneva was actually sleeping on her seat, face down.

Liana and Electra both reluctantly tried their hardest to ignore Neko and her pain, but Electra was having a harder time avoiding not doing something. Liana had a harder time not crying then Electra, though. So they just rode along, and Liana went over to Geneva to try and comfort her the best she could. Electra just glared where Ford would be, shaking her head and trying to keep herself calm for the rest of the trip.
[After Time Skip] Electra nodded to Ford saying he would take care of the provisions, trying hard not to show her utter distaste for him. Liana had nodded too. They figured he was the best to be in charge of the provisions, even if they wanted to hit him. Especially Electra. When Neko was let out and said that Ford was great and merciful, Electra let out a scoff, but Liana responded by elbowing Electra in the ribs to get her to be quiet. By no means did Electra consider Ford great or merciful. Liana and Electra both frowned at Neko, feeling really bad for the poor girl. Of course, Jim felt bad too, he just showed it less, because he was more tough. Though, Electra was pretty damn tough. She just couldn't hide her anger or sadness as easily. "No" Electra said simply in response to what Neko said, which got an elbow from Liana again. Though, Liana couldn't get herself to say anything in response, and just kept quiet. Liana went over to Geneva, shaking her gently and saying "We are here", frowning because she felt bad for her.
Electra had gone outside already, but wasn't going to just abandon Liana until she got an idea of the place. But when she saw the place, she didn't really worry that much. From the looks of it, it was a very lively place. The interesting part of it was it looked like an old-styled, campfire type of place. There were people all dressed in stuff you would see in Medieval times, people mostly carrying swords over guns of any kinds, and even cool old bearded dudes with cool staffs that obviously didn't really do anything. The most noticeable thing immediately was the happy crowd of people greeting the newcomers, though some of them seemed to look at Ford with distaste, hearing a little bit about him. All they needed to hear was "Slaver" and they would dislike him. Not far off, there was also the sounds of festive music, and people singing and dancing happily. It just overall had a cheery atmosphere to it. Someone had actually come up to Electra, saying "Welcome", to which she smiled back at him and said 'Thank you". She really didn't expect anything to go wrong here with leaving Liana behind, but she didn't really have anywhere in particular she wanted to go right now, so she waited anyway. Jim had already wandered off somewhere.

Neko walked up to past Liana and followed Electra, she felt that Electra would protect her from the evils of the world that master always spoke of. She kinda got lost though, and ended up wandering around aimlessly. She looked around for a little bit, before wandering up to one of the nice looking old men and asking "Excuse me sir, I'm a lost slave, do you know where my owner is?" she seemed scared of him, and well the whole town in general, just because master had always told her that these places were scary. She rubbed her handcuffed hands together, seeming nervous about even talking to him really, even though he was just a nice looking old man.
Geneva awoke startled saying "No, Bad catfish!" looking around the bus she sighed, and said "Hey Liana, how are you?" stretching. She got up and slowly walked to Liana and kissed her cheek "So, where are we sweety?" she seemed more to be messing with Liana, instead of hitting on her.

The old man that looked an awful lot like Gandalf smiled kindly at Neko. He did notice how red she seemed to look, though. "I do not know where he wandered off to" He said, figuring the man he saw coming off the vehicle was probably Neko's master, the man he just got a bad feeling about from looking at him. "He disappeared pretty quickly. Why don't you come and enjoy the festivities?" He asked, gesturing over to the people happily dancing and partying. "You look like you could use it" He said, smiling at her brightly again, trying to be as kind as possible.
Liana Liana raised an eyebrow at Geneva, but quickly moved on. "I'm good" She said, though the fact she seemed to look a little grim, likely from what Neko endured, and just being stressed about this whole trip in general that she went on just to help out and be with her best friend. Throughout the current trip, she had more thoughts of doubts of why she came, but shook them away so she could focus on actually being useful, and helping out on here. Her main worry was the possibility of getting shot or having to take someones life away. The kiss on the cheek caught her off guard, and she blinked. "Uh......I don't really know" She said, getting up and looking outside. She saw a sign that read "St. George, Utah". "Apparently we are in St. George, Utah. I don't really know where that is....other then it being in Utah" She said, shrugging. "The people here look friendly enough. It looks like people are being happy and festive" She said, stepping outside and walking up to Electra.
Electra smiled at Liana. "It's so festive here, and everyone seems so polite and friendly" She said, seeming to be happier then she was earlier after stopping somewhere with such happy people. "I might need to actually party for once in a long while. Maybe even dance" She said, chuckling at that idea. "Wow, you dancing. Make sure I don't miss that, Electra" Liana joked. Electra shook her head, and said, "I am going to go wander. Meet you later? Don't get into trouble. I worry about you Liana" She said, frowning a little. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine" Liana said, giving her friend a reassuring smile, before Electra wandered off to somewhere. "What do you want to do, Geneva?" Liana asked, trying to think of where she wanted to head first.

Neko frowned at the man "I'm sorry for bothering you sir, you may smack me for wasting your time." she frowned as he offered for her to attend the festive and looked very uncomfortable saying "Master always told me not to go places with people he doesn't know, or doesn't approve of. He would be cross with me, and likely whip me for not asking him first. I'm sorry sir, please don't hurt me too bad for not being able to accept your offer." she looked at the ground "Well maybe you could help me look for master so I could ask him."
Geneva smiled at Electra and said "It is indeed quite festive." She smiled as she thought of Electra dancing, and nodded to what Liana said, hoping she would dance as well, because she thought Electra would look beautiful dancing. She nodded to Electra when she went off to do something at the festival and said "I will take care of Liana, don't worry." she hugged Liana close to her for emphasis. Geneva then smiled to Liana and asked "Could we share a dance together?" she maintained a smile as she asked her.
As Electra walked around there was a odd tent there, something mystical about it. The side of the tent said 'Hear the wise words of Guru Gobind Singh, a man who despite having lost sight, sees all." inside sat an old Indian man who was drinking a hot tea, and enjoying waiting for the next person who he could bestow his wisdom on. He was around 102, but even before the event he didn't use electricity. He came to America as an old man, from India where he had mediated in temples for most of his life.

The old man seemed to be shocked at the very idea of her even suggesting her smack her for such a silly and small thing. "I will not hurt an innocent young girl for something as small as that" He told her, giving her a bright, friendly smile. He listened to this poor girl explain how much her life seemed to be binded by this master of hers. He didn't seem too happy about that, but his culture in this old-styled town was very against slavery. They'd more quickly throw the slavers into slavery then make slaves of their own. Or beat them to the pulp. That would be rather embarrassing for Ford, too, since it would likely be done by bearded old men with sticks. "It is fine young lady, I will not harm you in any way" He told her. When she asked about that, he just said "I do believe he is busy at the moment. We can look for him later, if you like". ElectraElectra smiled, and jokingly said, "You better" about Geneva taking care of Liana. "Don't let her get in trouble" She joked, and Liana rolled her eyes. Her friend was so untrusting of her...though she was clearly joking. Even though she was joking, she sometimes felt her friend really didn't trust her not to get in trouble. Maybe she was right....She didn't know. It's not like Electra was exactly the most stable person herself that wouldn't get herself in trouble. The strange tent caught Electra's eye, and she looked at it closer. Since she wanted to check things out for entertaining, she decided to even go inside after reading what the words said, despite the fact she felt the words were likely a load of bull. Seeing the old man though made her automatically assume he would be rather awesome for some reason. She looked around for a few seconds, before looking directly at the old man and saying a polite "Hello". Surprisingly polite for her. Really, she didn't even really give hello's that much, except to her best friend. At least, since her town had been raided. LianaLiana looked at Geneva and smiled. "Electra so doesn't trust me to not get in trouble. I don't think she should trust herself either....Honestly, I don't know if she does trust herself sometimes" She said, letting out a sigh and shaking her head. To her asking if they could share a dance, she smiled, and said "Su-", before cutting herself off and looking at the young man (Pretend he doesn't look so....questionable. Maybe it's just because I know how he is in the show I took him from....but he just kinda looks questionable to me now) that was approaching her, who in her opinion was rather attractive... "Hello ladies" The young man said, glancing at both of them, but his gaze seemed to stay on Liana for longer, before he outright just looked directly at her. "You are rather pretty, if you don't mind me saying" He said directly to Liana, who started to blush. "You are too, but this friend of yours just catches my eye more then you. No offense meant" He said to Geneva, before glancing back to Liana. Liana seemed surprised with all the boys showing interest in her looks, and maybe even her lately, despite the fact where she came from everyone seemed more interested in Electra, instead of the girl that tried to look pretty. Which really, to her wasn't a terrible thing, because she felt that the standard of women must try and look pretty for men could be annoying, despite the fact she seemed to try to do exactly that herself. She figured it just had to do with the different culture her.

"But I was bad." Neko said frowning, not understanding why it should matter how bad she was, if she was bad then she should be punished. She got some more good feelings from this guy and finally reluctantly said "Well, because I would be very bad to disobey master, and especially to interrupt him. I guess I could see the festival, if only to see if it is worthy of master's time. I mean, he would understand that I am looking at it so he wouldn't waste his time, right?" looking at the man with worried eyes, not worry about her own punishment, but fear of disappointing her owner.
Wise old man Inside the tent was a variety of old books, and metal carvings on shelves positioned around. To the back of the tent sat an old man smoking a hooka, pouring a cup of tea. He smiled up to Electra "Ah hello troubled one. I have been waiting for you for many moons. Here, have some tea would you? It calms the mind, you will need to pass along some of this wisdom to..." he took a long drag from the pipe and continued "Liana, Geneva, and world, wait, no, Sekai. Yes, your young naive friend Sekai will need it most." he stroked his long beard as he smoked "You don't have anything to donate do you? I try to help kids from the Hoover Hegemony who we free. The poor slaves need to be educated most of the time. After that, I shall impart everything you need to know, not what you need to, but what you need."
Geneva Geneva chuckled a little "Well I won't let her get pregnant, I mean an event like this, it will take diligence." she chuckled a little at her own joke and waved a little "Go do your own way Electra, geez."
When a new guy walked up to them, she smiled at him and said "My name is Geneva, nice to meet you." she smiled at him calling Liana pretty and nodded slightly in agreement. She found the new guy enjoyable, in the looks and especially in the manners department, but knew Liana deserved him more. She gave him a reassuring smile "I agree that she catches the eye quite a bit, but I'm afraid I'm not the gender she is interested in, so you enjoy her. I enjoy her friend much more anyway. I always liked the tougher type anyway, this one is soft, sweet, and I bet by now a bright shade of pink. Now I will go find something to do, you two have fun, and for god sakes ask the poor guy deprived girl to dance." she took a breath and shook her head slightly at her rather stupid speech.
