Namesake

The girl can't believe she'd forget her own name!

'This is terrible' she thought to herself as she found a corner in the cockpit to sit down in. She then proceeded to curl up into a ball and rock herself back and forth.

A long time had passed before she got bored of sulking in the cockpits corner.

Looking down at herself, she once again saw the 02 that was written on her suit.

02? What kind of a name is that...

Well, beggars can't be choosers I suppose this shall be my name for now. But definitely not forever! 02 finished up her inner monologue and decided now that she had a name, a totally not permanent name, she'd better find something to do.

I need to do something! Something productive!

Thus the girl began her search for a purpose, a task, anything that one could simply do.

After standing up in the cockpits corner, she began studying the whole interior of the cockpit before her.

Panels were hanging from the ceiling and wires were strewn about the ground as if vines of a evil plant trying to trip you.

Wow, this place really...is a mess.

02 decided to tidy up the cockpit, after all, it was most likely once hers, and even though she didn't know if she was s near freak before, she had a feeling she was definitely starting to become one now..

At least about where she'd be living anyway.

02 decided to make this her base of operations in this metal dump.

"Hmmm now where could a find a broom...Aha!" Getting an idea, 02 clambered out of the cockpit and returned to where she first awoke. 02 gathered the earlier discarded remnants of her hair, and carefully made her way back into the cockpit to set them down in the corner she used to sulk earlier.

After once again emerging from the cockpit like a cockroach from a cheap apartments walls, she began to shine her beam of light all around her 'resting' mecha.

Mecha and ship parts were strewn as far as the eye could see, and looking up there was no sky, stars, or moon.

She was apparantly underground.

'Hopefully this means noone will try and hurt me down here..' 02 smiled at the prospect of there being no danger around.

"Where should I start?" She asked aloud to no one else in particular.

Silence.

"Good chat. Now noone will ever disagree with me. Haha!" shouted 02, who was getting happier by the second.

02 was beginning to wonder why people needed others, as she leaped off the mech and landed in a spot 15 feet away from her previous position.

"Do-di-DO!" hummed 02 as she began think of a catchy pop song that she somehow knew.

"Why did I remember a song but not who I am? Well... for now let's say who I WAS." 02 started to speak her inner monologue out loud to herself.

No one else was going too, apparantly.

Looking left, and then looking right, she finally saw what her first 'quest' required of her.

"A metal pole! And Bingo was his name-o!" 02 laughed aloud as she dashed to her right, swiftly acquiring her metal pole.

" Wait a second... is Bingo my name? Probably not. Isn't Bingo a male? Pretty sure I'm not male... " 02 proceeded to pat her chest seeking confirmation for herself.

"Yep, there not that big compared to that red haired girls, but I have some. I'm officially female!" 02 declared, and deciding her real name was indeed, not Bingo.

Walking back to her base of operations, 02 noticed something weird looking about 10 feet from her mecha.

'What is that?' 02 was puzzled by a pile of rags nearby her.

After inching closer ever so slowly, 02 finally could make out what the pile of rags really was.

It was in fact another person!

02's first reaction to this discovery was joy. She had found someone else! But then she thought for a few seconds more and realized this could potentially mean danger!

02 hunched forward brandishing her to be broom handle, and closer the last few feet of distance from the person. As she got within 2 feet of the person they had yet to move.

Summoning her courage 02 leaped at the person and swung the to be broom at them.

A giant shockwave rippled throughout the underground cavern, causing dust and small rocks to be blown outward from the impact of 02's attack.

"Aha! I got them!" exclaimed 02 triumphantly with a smirk plastered across her grime covered little face.

Hmmmm, shouldn't there be like blood, or something? This requires further investigation.

Now standing above the person, 02 leaned down and shined her wrist light upon them.

Oh. They're dead. And they are kinda scaly? Is it a dragon? Nonono, dragons are big and have majestic wings, so this is indeed, just a scaly person.

"Oh! They must have been dead before I even hit them." 02 concluded as she looked at the scaly person who had now been severed in two, by one wave of her metal broom stick.

'What a weak dead person, they obviously need my protection' 02 concluded.
