Hello!

Its been a long time since I've started this story and I'm happy to see people have still been reading! Hopefully everyone will enjoy this next part of it! I've decided to just give a recap and start a separate section to signal the new style of writing I'm going for. Of course you're welcome to read the previous story if you'd like (Lurking Shadows). In any case enjoy!

Recap:

A2, 2B and 9S are now attempting to escape Yorha control after realizing their goals do not align with Yorha protocols. This in turn has caused turmoil amongst those within the bunker. To counter act this Yorha has essentially installed martial law to prevent a civil war from occurring within the bunker. Furthermore, Yorha has decided to send a death squad to hunt down the AWOL androids.

The relationship between 2B and 9S has grown stronger and Pods 153 and 042 have now developed new personalities since severing from the bunker. A2 sympathetic to their need for freedom has joined in.

A battle between the group and the death squad leaves 2B in critical condition fostering a hate for 3RE (an OC).

After narrowly escaping, they land at a nearby city to search for fuel for their ship. In doing so they come across A2's past which she finally comes to terms with.

And so the story continues...
