Nanite Checkup (Alliance HQ, November 12th)

Six was starting to appreciate the patience Rex had for putting up with test after test due to these regular scans.

Because the nanites refused to leave his body in samples despite best efforts including attempting to force them via magnetic manipulations, Six's nanites had to be monitored solely via CT scan until anything more effective could be developed. (MRIs were out; the images of early victims of MRIs following the Nanite Event had been horror shows.) At least the Alliance allowed him to come in regularly for such checkups without costing him an arm and a leg each time. At this point, any hope that someone might be able to come up with a cure here that he might somehow be able to take back to his world was starting to fade.

As soon as the machine was finished, he got up to head to the cafeteria for some coffee. At this point, he knew the routine: Waste time while the results were analyzed then come back for the update.

Winter Preparation (Little Love, all November)

Due to Little Love being so rural, Six had started getting ready in case he ended up snowed in. With no vehicle, that meant a lot of trips back and forth to town on foot, carrying what he could back to the farmhouse.

He definitely stood out in the green trench coat that matched his usual attire. That and carrying a bulky backpack back and forth in varying degrees of fullness. Someone could bump into him not just in various shops but on the street or walking along the road back and forth to the farmhouse.

Sentient Potatoes what is this EVO bullsh (Little Love, all November)

This...this was giving him some serious deja vu.

Sentient potatoes. It was like something straight out of his world but with less body horror and fewer homicidal trees. At least the spuds didn't have teeth, just a desire to drag potential victims underground.

...Actually, that was worse than teeth now that he thought about it.

Six sliced through several sets of roots trying to drag one of the farmhands down into the soil. The unhappy spuds snapped imaginary teeth at him but retreated as he brandished the magna blades in warning. The unfortunate farmhand shuddered but went back to work harvesting the potatoes that had chosen not to achieve sentience.

At least the sentient potatoes were easier to handle than most EVOs. Just very annoying.
