"No. I guess you could say its my race." The mecha stood up, rising to almost double of Roll's height. "My name is Zai-zai-zai-zai-" The mecha repeated this 'Zai' like a broken record, and it seems as though he was glitched for a moment. He was jerking his head as it kept on going. It stopped after 3 seconds though. "Ugh... I can't access my status file, seems to be corrupted."

"There is always something wrong with you machines, isn't there?" Roll sighed in complaint. "What are you, a Packard Hell? Lemme take a look." She said in a commanding tone as she got closer to the being. "Your little tape recorder might be stuck. Where's the plug?" Roll muttered and cursed under her breath as she looked over the machine creature's body, finding little of consequence to be of help to her. "Well it seems like you are one crazy guy there, clanko. If you just had some more wires jutting out it would be easier on me."

"I don't think its a broken recorder..." The mecha said as he took a step back. "Oh wait. I CAN access my status file. It seems to be a memory file I tried to access. If you have a PC, you could take a look at it yourself."

Roll shook her head at the machine as she held her chin in thought. "No, I cannot do that. I left most of my equipment back home, including my computer. It was too much of a hassle to take with me, and such things would only get stolen here." She said. That was true, at least from what she had heard. Rogueport was truly the port of the rogues, meaning that many a thief, brigand and pirate strolled about the place. She thought for a moment, but shook her head when she couldn't come up with something. Maybe it was just better to shut down the machine again and leave. She doubted the parts she wanted were available here anyway.

A boat docked not long after Roll arrived at Rogueport, and off stepped former NRMC Colonel, Benjamin Jessup. Ben was wearing his old camouflage field uniform with his combat boots. He was a large man, standing at 6'5" and looked to weigh around 275lbs, much of it in muscle mass. He had short black hair, which was covered by a cap that matched his uniform. He walked around for a little while, his arm resting on the hilt of his energy blade. As he wandered the port town, his heavy boots thudding against the wood floor, he came across an odd sight--a small girl talking to a mechanical being of sorts. "What in the world?" He thought aloud as he looked at the machine.

The mecha then noticed a very buff man coming their way dressed in some kind of camouflage. His red eye was resting on the blade this stranger had, and slowly becoming brighter at the sight of another weapon. "We have company..."

Benjamin looked at the pair, and just thought for a moment. The girl certainly didn't look like she belonged there, and neither did the mecha she was with. So, the two of them were possibly travelers, which meant there was a chance that they had some useful information for him. However, he didn't much like the looks of the black entity; it didn't really look like the friendly type. But, Jessup wasn't about to let some hunk of steel scare him away when there was the possibility of getting closer to the being who killed his wife. So, Col. Jessup walked over to the pair and said in a strong baritone voice: "Excuse me. Mind if I ask you two something?"

The sound of steps filled the air as something rather heavy made the wooden planks underneath her feet vibrate, alerting her to a new presence and a rather heavy one at that. The mechanical creature, whose name was as of yet unknown to her, spoke up and had her direct her gaze into the direction its red eye stared off into. Her eyes locked onto a figure that stood tall and broad and definately appeared like he was one of those few humans who might sometimes have a problem with doors. His uniform put her mind on high alert as she spotted the coloured markings that had him stand out of the crowd as a military man. He clearly seemed not from around the local area, although she wouldn't trust him all too soon. Few people who came to Rogueport were themselves trustworthy, herself excluded of course. She swallowed softly to clear her throat a little before she would address the man. "Oh, hello sir." She said in her normal, rather innocent tone. "Is... something wrong?" She spoke up in reply to the man's question.

"I'm just looking for somebody." Col. Jessup said plainly, still examining the pair. The petite girl seemed to be in her teens, and her tone told Ben that she wasn't exactly the toughest kid. The mecha on the other hand was a fierce one, and possibly the girl's guardian; of course, Ben didn't know for sure. "I'm trying to find a person, a shape shifter to be more precise, who might go by Shifter, or Morph." He stated with a steady voice. "Know anyone who fits that description?"

Roll blinked for a moment and put her fingers to the corner of her lips and tilted her head a little in thought, her eyes rolling to their corners. The question the military man had asked was a rather odd one to ask a couple of strangers right off the bat. Was he involved with some sort of investigation service? But wait, as her mind went over the question again, she suddenly realized that it all did seem awkwardly familiar to her. Oh my. Her mind spoke its surprise. There was hardly anyone else the man could mean. "Well, uh, sir." She muttered as she turned her gaze back to the man's stern face. "Um, it rather does sound like someone I know. The description is perhaps a little vague, but it sounds like you're talking about my twin."

Benjamin's eyes widened, but his expression quickly returned to normal. ~Well, I certainly didn't see that one coming.~ He thought to himself. "You're twin you say?" He asked plainly. "Is he around? Could you take me to him?" The Colonel was very careful about letting his excitement come across. He maintained the same calm tone the whole time he spoke, even though inside was quite anxious to meet this twin of hers. Jessup could only hope he was the same shape shifter who had attacked his wife and her company.

"Err, well, that would be hard." Roll started hesitantly, thinking a little about it. Her twin brother was certainly easy to find at some times, certainly very hard to find at other times. "He owns a shop in Acera, so I don't think you are quite in the right place to find him here." She continued as she looked up at the tall, broad-shouldered marine. "Besides, I'm not sure if you would want to talk with him anyway, he sometimes can be a little crazy." She said with a gentle and kindly smile. "My guess is his friends just had a bad influence on him, or maybe the other way around." A soft giggle escaped the girl's throat.

"Crazy, huh?" The Colonel whispered to himself. "This isn't really matter of wanting to talk to your brother, I need to speak with him." He said in his always even tone. "It is vital that I meet with him. Do you have any way of contacting him from afar, Miss...?" It was then that Ben realized he had failed to ask the girl's name. "I'm sorry, what is your name, Miss?"

"Roll;" She said in a firm tone. "Roll Glitzar, nice to meet you." With a smile on her face she extended her hand towards the broadshouldered male. "Oh, and you got it right on the miss thing, too young to be married and all." She chuckled softly and then glanced over her shoulder at the machine being behind her. "Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't believe I've asked for your name yet either." The girl ponderingly spoke. She looked back at the Colonel for a moment and shook her head a little. "Sorry, I was just trying to help patch this guy up. He didn't look too good. Could your request wait for a moment perhaps?" She stepped closer to the machine as if to show that she was ready to continue trying to "fix" him, by perhaps just randomly hitting him with her wrench, but her eyes remained focused on the man in the uniform.
