I sighed with relief. I'll be happy if that doesn't hapen again... "Now, back to what we were saying..."

"Ming, there's really nothing between Harpo and I except friendship. Now we need your help! Can you help us?" Kamui.EXE asks.
"Why? And does 'Arpo 'ave to be 'ere?" says Ming.
"Oh! For once in your functioning exsistance, STOP THAT!" Kamui.EXE growls.

Ming scoffed at the remark. "You think that just because 'Arpo shows up with a new lady-program and a quiet edgy guy, I'm supposed to forget about 'is mordorus, backstabbing ways?" I sighed. This is not going as well as I'd hoped...

Kamui.EXE was going to slap Ming when she swiftly blocks the attack.
"If you want to fight, I can arrange it for you!" Ming growls.
"That won't be nessesary! Harpo! Please try to talk some sense in to this one!" kamui.EXE says.

Tweaker interjected. "Ming, we're not here to fight. Kamui and Harpo just want to talk with you."

"Geh! She's starting to remind me of that ficticious user Shampoo!" kamui.EXE says.
Ming grabs her by the hair and yanks.
"I DARE YOU TO REPEAT THAT!" Ming shout.
"OW! HEY! LET GO!" Kamui.EXE says as she sweeps Ming's hands away, "Now is that anyway to treat a complete stranger?"
"In your case, yes," says Ming.
Kamui.EXE starts to growl. But that didn't last long. The graceful forms of the Asian ICPs began to make their way through the crowd. It appears Ming's and Kamui's shouting has attarcted their attention.
"Now you've done it!" Kamui.EXE says as she grabs on to Ming's wrists and pulls her in a direction, "Let's go before we're nothing more than junk data!"

Ming.. I don't like to do this...I whispered to Tweaker: "I sure hope you have a hypospray in that little kit of yours." I helped Kamui move Ming out of the way, then I activated a subroutine into my Mesh. Ming Spoke. "You let go of me, ladyfriend! leave and take your backstabber 'ere wit' you!" then I moved Kamui aside so I could get to Ming, and I pressed my Mesh up against Ming's soft, smooth throat. then I spoke softly. "Sorry, Ming." I gave the mesh trigger a small squeeze and a soft thunk was heard. Ming immidiately went unconsious, but didn't derezz or even show where the mesh had fired. "Help me, Tweak. we need to take her back to her apartment. I know where it is." I motioned toward a small alley.

"Gotcha. I'll take the legs, you take the arms." Harpo and Tweaker quietly moved Ming out of sight into an alleyway. As they did so, Tweaker said quietly, "Sorry, I'm not a medical program. I couldn't even fit a whole patch routine into my toolbox--I had to settle for a min-regen unit. Got almost a hundred health points in there, but it's limited to incrementing one health point per nanocycle."

Kamui.EXE helped with Ming.
"Ladyfriend? Pah! What a crazy program! I can't believe this one is connected to Tron somehow," kamui.EXE mutters.

"This way." I motioned down one alleyway and we moved Ming along a little way more before I motioned to a nearby apartment complex. "When I last knew her she lived there- it's my best bet."

The three programs carried/dragged Ming the rest of the way down the alleyway, then Tweaker stopped them. "I'd feel more comfortable leaving her here instead of in the open while we figure out how to get into her apartment. Kamui, you stand guard while Harpo and I get the door open."
Harpo and Tweaker set Ming down and hurried to the door of the apartment array. Not surprisingly, the door wanted a permission set-- permissions 1 and 5. "Well, we can try and extract the permissions from her shell, or... oh, never mind," Tweaker finished as he saw Harpo already pulling out his permission cracker. My User, this feels so wrong...

Kamui.EXE looked after Ming. She knew that getting info from Ming wasn't going to be easy unless....
Kamui.EXE had an idea. All she had to do was wait for Ming to be consious.

Ming *would* be smart enough to change her permissions... I should've guessed that. I had almost finished with the permissions craker and noticed a small unit built into the door. Hmm... I don't remember that... the unit was barely noticeable, but I pulled it off and checked it out. I shook my head and handed the device to Tweaker, then went back to the door. "It looks like that thing was meant to detect if my permissions craker was used to open the door. she's every bit as smart as I remembered her." I opened the door and looked into the apartment decorated with colors of yellow and red- an odd contrast to the grayish blue that doninated the outside. "But this is just like I remember. her taste in colors always was odd to me." I closed the door and started walking back towards the exit.

Returning to the alleyway, Tweaker helped Harpo pick Ming up and carry her into her apartment. After closing the door safely behind them, Tweaker opened his toolbox and extracted the mini-regen unit, which he clipped to Ming's neck. "Wakey wakey..." When she didn't immediately revive, Tweaker asked, "Kamui-san, could you get me a few units of energy from the sink?"

"It ought to take a bit to wake her... you know that force sleep subroutine I gave you once, Kamui? it's a similar thing. except it causes sleep by draining most of the health out of the target... once we give her health, we still need a way of waking her up."
