Work Text:
A few weeks ago there was this announcement.
SOL technologies would be producing androids.
Of course Yuga got excited.
Imagine how many roads you could make with that technology.
Then it got cancelled.
Several ideas down the drain.
Unless...
Because it got cancelled a few days before release they should probably have some in warehouses nearby the stores where they would be released.
After looking into all of the possible places he found one were you could easily break into alone.
All he needs to do is hack some cameras and go there.
-O-o-O-o-O-o-O-
After his duel with Ai, Yusaku decided he would not return to his empty apartment. So he had to find another place to sleep.
A place were someone would not go looking for him.
In the end he decided to stay where he was, the SOLtech warehouses.
Right under their nose and with plenty of places to hide if they actually would search for him.
Of course there were plenty of cameras, but after sneaking in these so often he knows how to get around.
After all the hacking Yusaku did, SOL tech decided to not have them all connected to the internet so not all the footage would get erased.
Yusaku knew all the local storage places.
It is useful if you need to sneak out to get some food.
Thinking about sneaking out. This would be the perfect time. There were not much people around at this hour.
So Yusaku looks at the live camera footage, just to be sure. The camera's connected to the internet are disabled, which is odd. So Yusaku looks at the local ones.
...
Is that... A ten year old? How? Why? Yusaku thinks as he immediately starts working on erasing every trace in the footage that the kid was there.
SOL tech cannot be trusted with kids.
After doing the best job he can on the local cameras he decides to look for the child.
When Playmaker finds him he is rummaging through some parts. SOLtis parts.
So that's his goal.
He wants to get a super cool robot.
It's not worth it though.
As soon as Playmaker's flashlight falls on the kid he ducks behind the box he looking in. Not fast enough. After a while he realizes that the light is not moving and comes out.
"What are you doing here?" the elementary schooler asks.
'That should be my line' Playmaker thinks. "You should not get involved with SOL tech." He says instead.
Best to keep interactions to a minimum.
"Too late, already am." The kid answers with a giant smile.
"Then don't involve yourself further." Yusaku retorts.
"No." The child continues what he is doing, picking out parts he likes and putting them in his bag.
Yusaku has no comeback. How do you argue with someone that young. Still, he was younger when he tried finding out what really happened during the Lost Incident.
So he settles for "Next time don't forget to disable the all cameras."
"But I did disable them."
"Local storage, the footage loops for the next ten minutes."
"You helped me." the child smiles at him with stars in his eyes. "Thank you!"
"It's a one time thing." Playmaker thinks the child doesn't hear him.
