A battered up dark purple ferrari in ruins was pulled into the garage of a standard mechanic. It's whole body was in ruins, missing it's front tires and both headlights were nothing but a shattered mess. The tow truck driver left a note on it's hood that stated the car was found like this following a crash that had killed several civilians. The windsheild was broken, and had almost been shattered completly.

(this is between me and Jetticus)

Ben would hit the button as Mac, the truck driver, brought him a project car, it was typical of Mac to bring him cars that are worthless so Ben could turn them into scrap metal or even, "Bring this one back from the dead? I don't think so...", Ben would explain to the note, as he laughed with himself over the condition of the car, Ben could care less about it killing anyone, it was metal, that's all that mattered. What kind of car is this?, Ben would look around the car and find an emblem, pointing it out, "That's hilarious, it's always these a**holes who crash their car and leave it because they don't want to pay for any of the damage, if I find some identification I'll make sure to give them a call and get some money out of them." Ben would walk to the front of the vehicle and begin writing down the damage.

The car's engine stirred to life, trying to crank up at hearing something. It turned several times but stayed off, sputtering failingly. The sides held two numbers. '54'. A racing number, perhaps? Each headlight was broken badly; Yet the engine was still trying to turn on as the cars tires slowly reversed. The windows were too dark to see if anyone was inside.

"WHAT THE F***!?" Ben would jump back from the car and grab a large pipe wrench, "IS SOMEONE IN THE CAR!?"

It backed up still, before slowing to a halt. A female voice growled from the hood. ''Unless you count sentient as a person, no. What fool are you to dare to try to touch me. Are you a spy? Who do you work with?'' She hissed, obvious to the damage she had, as her speakers crackled in a fit. Her blue eyes opened up a bit, glaring in annoyance at the poor mechanic that had got the task of fixing her up.

Ben would take a look at the car, back to the pipe wrench and the car, "Um... okay I've got to stop drinking.", so distraught by what he'd seen he would enter his home, which was attached to the garage and get some coffee, before returning to the garage... cautiously, "Okay... Sentient?", confused as to why he was talking to a car, "What does that mean?"

''It means I'm alive and can talk. What else?''

Ben still struggling with the fact that the robot car... was talking, would attempt to drink his coffee, "Okay, that's fun... how do you do that?"

''It's a very complicated system of highly fragile and heavy syystemsic build of speakers and all that jazz.''

"Okay... hold on.", Ben would walk over the vehicle, look for a place to open up the hood, if the car didn't flip out he would open it and look for a electrical system and motherboard, attempting to find a sound-card like object. "Let me see if I can help you out real fast."

As soon as he touched her hood the car flipped out and flinched back. ''Hey!''

"Look I just want to fix your sound card so you can talk, that's it, I don't even have to access any storage I'm sure it's just from the crash and something was jostled loose.", he'd say then take a sip from his coffee, he was less freaked out, but not completely.

She narrowed her eyes but pulled up slowly and opened her hood...Revealing a great mess of wires. And an engine that contained a small shard of a crystal.

"That's interesting...", he'd notice the crystal shard, but it was beyond his comprehension, "I see here, your sound-card is screwed... there is a piece of steal in it... it tore through the front of your vehicle... I'll have to replace everything that it tore through...", he'd make a list of things to replace.", he'd walk back into the house and walk out with a new sound card, "I don't know how this is gonna work, but I bought this for my computer, should work for you though it came out a month ago...", he'd put the card in, "If you can reboot, you'll need to."

The car shut off and fell silent...Then tried to turn back on and their engine turned but wouldn't come back to life.

"S***.", he would look for a way to restart the vehicle... he would kick it hard... "OW!", but hoping it would do the trick.

The kicking jarred her engine and she turned back on. ''That was my bumper!'' AShe screeched, scowling. ''Wreck?' She asked afterwards,confused.

"Welcome back, it seems like you were in a crash, pretty bad one, you killed someone too, don't know if you care though. I'm Ben...", He would close the hood, "Run a systems check so I can find out what I need to replace."

''I'm Agent 54092.'' She hissed as she ran a check of her systems, then a slot near a headlight printed out a paper detailing what damages were done and what errors had been encountered. Though it was stained....Red. Blood red.

"This could be a problem.", he wasn't happy to find the blood, but he knew that it likely meant that there was going to be a body part up under the vehicle somewhere.

He would read over a the list, "This looks doable... the blood is a bit freaky, but I'm sure it's just part of the work... I'm probably going to have to clean this s*** up.", he never liked blood... it was a pain in the a** to clean up.
