Second chapter for Eppy and the Chief will be out tomorrow if I'm lucky. This is basically about the Freelancers and their AIs, all told from a different perspective. Hope you enjoy this fic for the time being!

Agent Maine and Sigma

I'm bored came Sigma's voice inside Maine's head. Maine ignored him and hoped that Sigma would get the message. Sadly, Sigma tended to ignore the message and kept going on with whatever it was he was doing. Maaaiiine! Maine let out a frustrated huff.

Sigma, it's an off-day, that means I get to sleep in, I never get to sleep in! So shush! Maine growled, putting the pillow back over his head as he finished. Sigma let out a childlike whine and stomped his foot in frustration.

But Maaaiiine! I'm bored! Maine groaned again and flopped the pillow back onto his stomach, giving a sarcastic expression.

Oh no, what a crime! Sigma gave an unamused look at Maine's tease. Maine glared at him. Give it a rest will ya? I want to sleep! Maine put the pillow back over his face and Sigma huffed, irritated with this. Sigma smirked and suddenly a shock was sent through Maine's nerves. He let out a surprised yell/roar and fell onto the floor. He glared as Sigma laughed, his hologram falling onto an invisible floor holding its gut.

That was great! he exclaimed. Once he was finished laughing he noticed Maine sitting criss-cross on the floor, glaring at him. Sigma smiled and appeared in front of him in the same position. So, can we go find something to do now? Maine growled and stood up. He sat down on his bunk and pulled on a shirt, then his combat boots. He looked over as Sigma gave a happy yell, holographic arms raised in the air. Yeees! Finally! Maine rolled his eyes and the two exited into the hallway. So, what are we gonna do?

Eat something Maine told him pointedly. Sigma whined and Maine shook his head as they entered the mess hall. After getting something to eat he joined Wash, York, and North at the table. They looked over at him. He was about to tell them good morning when Sigma interrupted him.

"Maaaiiine!" he whined, his hologram appearing. "I'm still bored." Maine growled and looked over at him, the others giving puzzled looks. "When are we gonna do something? Because you know how I get when I'm bored. Are you done yet?" Maine roared and the AI pouted, sitting on his shoulder with his arms crossed. The others snickered and Maine glared.

"Hey D, what do you think about hanging out with Sigma for a bit? Keep him off Maine's case while he eats?" York suggested. Sigma seemed to perk up and waited as York and Delta talked for a moment. Soon the green AI appeared by Sigma and the fire AI seemed to get excited. They both looked over as Epsilon and Theta appeared. The four AIs set their holograms somewhere else and started talking. Maine let out a sigh of relief and ate his food.

Thanks York he growled. York looked over at Wash.

"He said thanks," Wash told him. York nodded and the boys ate in silence for awhile, but this didn't last to long as they heard Tex and Carolina arguing down the hall. They all groaned. "Not again." They both looked over and raised their eyebrows very high as they saw that they weren't arguing with each other but instead with O'malley who stood in-between them. "Hey, Mal!" The AI looked over and followed his finger to where he pointed to find the other AIs talking. "You wanna hang with your bros?" In an instant O'malley's hologram joined them and they all started talking.

"Thanks Wash," Tex said as they got their own food and sat down. There was slience as they all ate. They all kept glancing over at the AIs as they chatted about this and that, not really seeming to be able to find a new topic when they lost an old one. Soon Wyoming joined them and Gamma joined the AIs as well. Once Maine was finished Sigma said goodbye to his brothers and went with him.

Agent Maine Sigma thought to him, a questioning tone entering his voice. Maine gave a light sigh and walked into his room. He never liked Sigma's questions, but he prepared to answer. Do you have any siblings? Maine froze in his footsteps for a moment, then sighed as he sat on his bunk. Sigma appeared before him, tilting his head. Agent Maine? Maine looked up at him and smiled.

Yeah, a little brother named Mark. He's twelve now, and sends me letters all the time. Or, he used to Maine told him, taking out a bundle of letters from his drawer. He pulled out one in the blue envelope and looked at it blankly. He was mad about something, but he wouldn't tell me what. I sent a letter asking what was wrong, but he never responded. That was a year and a half ago, and still no letter. Maine sighed and put the envelope back with the others and set the bundle in his drawer. Maybe he died or something, I don't know and may never know. Sigma sat on Maine's shoulder and gave him a sad look.

It must be awful not knowing what happened to your sibling, or perhaps even your entire family Sigma told him. Maine gave a light nod. Sigma sighed and looked away from Maine. I don't know what happened to my father, I never met the Alpha and neither did the others. But it's not like yours, you knew yours. Sigma shrugged. But I guess it doesn't really matter. So, you wanna do something? Maine looked over at Sigma and hummed in thought, then smiled.

Sure, Sigma. We can do something Sigma smiled and Maine did as well. Sometimes these AIs were annoying, but they weren't all bad.

And that's chapter one, Tex and O'malley are next!
