Everyone stared in shock silence. It had been forever since they had seen more than one Surge Protector in Game Central and even more surprising that they had a character pinned to the ground.

"Let go of me you mother―"

"CADET! Just what do you think you're doing!"

Everyone turned to the voice that was becoming well known since their plug in. Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun from Hero's Duty strutted in a fast pace, helmet grasped in her hand and face twisted in a snarl. She grew closer to the three SP's holding the hooded character, her very presence making everyone get out of her way. However, the SP's paid no mind to the advancing Sergeant as they tighten their grip on the unknown figure.

"Ow!" they hissed in pain as their face was pushed down harder against the floor and their arm was twisted in an odd angle.

"Red alert! Red alert! Unknown character data!" the surge protectors yelled in unison.

"TC!" the unknown character shouted in relief at the site of the blonde woman. Calhoun pushed away the surge protectors and lifted the unknown form by the back of their sweater glaring in annoyance.

The SP's looked on as they backed away when they saw both characters seem to know one another causing two SPs to disappear, leaving the original to go back to his stoic clipboard holding self.

"Name?" it said in a monotone voice.

"Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun"

"Game?"

"Hero's Duty" the surge nodded and turned to the hooded figure as they squirmed to get out of Calhoun's grip.

"Name?" Surge Protector turn to the figure dangling from the sergeant's grip.

"Uh…"

"She's with me" answered Calhoun for them "She's a background character, a cadet undertraining" She answered smoothly her face not giving a hint that she was lying.

"Name?" he repeated boredly and it only made Calhoun's eyebrow twitch in anger at being disregarded so easily. Not wanting her anger to be unleashed even more the hooded figure answered for her.

"Shay Ramirez?" she answered with a bit of hesitation, watching him as he wrote on his clipboard. He then looked up and fixed his glasses before giving them a single nod.

"Sorry for the confusion, background characters aren't known to leave their games very often. Your information has been added" and then he fazed away. It was quiet and everyone continued to stare at them, some had even begun to whisper among themselves and making side comments about them.

"All right nothing to see here! Go back to whatever it was you were doing!" Calhoun barked and continued to drag Ramirez back to Hero's Duty outlet. Knowing she had messed up, Shay had let Calhoun drag her off to the entrance of Hero's Duty. Calhoun let her go and dropped her cruiser on the ground. They device unfolded and hovered before it hit the ground, Calhoun climbed on and snapped her fingers, motioning for Shay to get on.

Shay sighed and stood looking forward, catching the eyes of Ralph as he stepped out of Pac-man eating a cherry. Their eyes met and he scowled and she grinned, holding two fingers up in a peace sign. This caused him to pause and his face morphed into one of surprise, but it was quickly replaced by annoyance as SP appeared before him clipboard in hand. Ralph quickly hid the cherries behind his back to avoid being caught and Shay snickered.

"Ramirez! Get on! Now!" Calhoun snapped.

"I'm going already! Relax will you!" Shay rolled her eyes and climbed on the cruiser while gripping the back of Calhoun's armor with one hand to keep from falling as they rode back into Hero's Duty.

Calhoun yelled pacing back and forth in front of Shay as she sat on a bunk looking guilty and stroking an odd white colored baby cy-bug.

Shay said nothing. There was really nothing to say. She had messed up today, so she took full responsibility for her action and let Calhoun yell and lecture without complaint and apologizing any chance she got.

"What were you thinking!"

"I'm sorry—"

"Do you have any idea what could have happened to you!"

"I didn't know Surge Protector would react like" Shay spoke softly.

"You could have been deleted!"

"I'm sorry I just…I wanted…never mind" Shay muttered and laid down on the bunk. Her back facing away from the wall with the cy-bug being held close to her chest. She took comfort in the little robotic bug as it snuggled deeper into her for warmth.

"You wanted what?" Calhoun sneered.

"Nothing, it's stupid…just forget it. I promise I won't leave anymore"

Calhoun face soften and walked over to sit at the edge of the bunk were Shay was lying on.

"Look kid…I worry about you, you're not exactly part of the gaming world, if I hadn't shown up when I did, Surge Protector would have declared you a virus and deleted you immediately"

Shay sat up the little cy-bug chirped in protest but quickly settled himself in her lap. Her hood fell as she gave Calhoun full attention and view of her face for the second time since she had saved her. It was the same as she last saw it. Lightly tanned oval face, almond shaped eyes that glowed an eerie grey-white. She had a scar on her left temple but it was hardly noticeable since her glasses' frame did a nice job of covering most of it. Her hair was dark brown and a mess. The right side was short and unkept while the left side was longer and below her shoulder in a messy braid, in a strange way it worked for her. But none of that was what really caught the abrasive sergeant's attention. No, it was the glowing white circuitry pattern that marked Shay's underside of her jaw that traveled down the side of her neck and shoulder. Calhoun was sure it continued onwards, down her right arm too, since she could see the glowing pattern on a few of Shay's finger tips.

"I just wanted a root beer, silly I know" Shay admitted.

Calhoun raised an eyebrow "Dare I ask why?"

"I just wanted something to remind me of home…anything really"

Calhoun frowned "You miss them" it wasn't a question.

Shay nodded once "They're my family, of course I miss them" and now she had nothing, except for Code, the baby cy-bug she had accidently activated and shocked. It had changed his code and not become a mindless killing, eating and breeding machine like the rest. Shay knew it was a strange situation to be in and she was sure Calhoun was also confused as to how she got here. It wasn't everyday a player got zapped into a game while they began to play it. She knew if Calhoun hadn't have seen it with her own eyes she wouldn't have believed it either and that was only half the truth.

She watched as Calhoun stood up and began to walk to the door and turn to face her once more. The sergeant let out a deep breath and pinched the bridge of her nose before finally speaking again.

"Get ready" she ordered.

"For what?" Shay tilted her head confused.

"Markowski and a few others are heading to Tapper's, since Surge Protector was able to add your information into his data base…you're welcome to join them"

Shay grinned "I always knew you were a softy deep down TC"

"Don't get use to it!" Calhoun grumbled.

Shay nodded and placed Code on the bunk giving him the order for him not to leave the room until she got back. The small bug complied by curling up on her bunk's pillow and shut down for recharge.

Calhoun face scrunch in disgust "I still say you should get rid of that thing" she said while looking at the baby white and black cy-bug.

"You're just jealous he only listens to me"

"As if" Calhoun snorted.

Shay smiled. Maybe being here wouldn't be so bad, at least she had a friend.
