Top Notch Help

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!" Xanthiana woke up suddenly, she heard beeping, could see an Indogene near by managing the machines, she was naked on the bed and had things hooked up to her. Elly was trying to say something to her, but her head hurt and she was disoriented. She couldn't get anything together other than the pain and disorientation.

"You were injured when your car crashed, you have a concussion and some bruised ribs, I was monitoring you until you came to. My name is Eren Niden, no one here is going to hurt you." Xanthiana had instinctively moved to a corner of the room, even with the machines still attached she had prepared herself to defend.

"I remember something like that." The pain was still there, but the fog was lifting. The Indogene turned a dial on a machine and things got clearer.

"Good, and you are going to calm down and get back on the bed, you are hurt and you'll hurt yourself more if you don't calm down, now please calm down." Eren's voice was calming, Xanthiana couldn't tell if it was the machines she was working or just the result of getting her bearings but she did as she was told and laid back down.

"Xan they are here to help you, it's what I was trying to say, you got really hurt." Xanthiana suddenly felt very exposed, and not just because she was naked. No one else was in the room, but it looked like other people did work there since she saw an unused station.

"Listen to your EGO device Miss Royeka, it cares about you, if not for that we wouldn't have found you." Eren brought a blanket and covered her up again, in her terror she had thrown it off herself.

"How do you know I have an EGO device?"

"I was on the team that designed them for one, I thought it strange an Irathient had one until yours informed me you were working with Von Bach and they had reverse engineered their own version of it. Still its almost as good as the ones we designed."

"I don't know if I should be insulted for almost as good as they designed." Xanthiana smiled at Elly's comment.

"You'll always be the best EGO device I have Elly."

"Secondly," Eren had continued talking, "Your ego device was the one who put out the call you were injured, there were no available Von Bach personnel nor were the Ereps close enough, so we came to help."

"Who is we?"

"Top-Notch Toolshop! The best engineering work you can get in Paradise!" Eren smiled, well as much as Indogene's can smile.

"Great let me guess you need something."

"Well now that you mention it we did fix your car for you and do have a job that someone like you could be uniquely suited to do." Xanthiana sighed and rolled over, she could tell it was going to be a long day.
