John was looking for one machine in particular.
    Jennifer broke silence with question. “What are we looking for?”
    “3M D.”
    “What's that.”
    “Mobile Multifunctional Manufacturing Device.”
    John found that name when he was downloading database.
    Jennifer turned right after a while. “Got it! Right over here.”
    It was prepared for shipping out packed into wooden crate with sing “3MD.” John used blade to open it then he grabbed handle on it's side and pulled it out. It looked like steel cube with several handles, buttons and lever. John pulled the lever and opened the workbench. Interface was adapted to hybrids. Instead of touch screen there was contact foil.
    “Find cable and plug it I want to test it first.” John looked at Jennifer.
    She ran away between crates and tables to find power source. Suddenly alarms went off.
    Jennifer returned with fear in her eyes. “I just plugged it...and...and.”
    Lights turned off and two of them were left in darkness. Computer voice echoed through silence.
    “Reactor malfunction, emergency power supply depleted, system shutdown imminent.”
     
    John peered into darkness.
    “Well...shit.”
    He lit two lights on front side of his armor.
    “See those small boxes? Take as much as you can put in this crate.”
    He said and gave Jennifer one of crates from cart. Then he picked up the 3MDand put it on the cart next to empty crates. He pushed cart to separate room where computer components were stored. John kicked down it's door. I looked like someone was looting before them shelves were half empty but there was everything John wanted. He took everything what was left it wasn't much, just enough to fill one crate. He also took few screens and holo projector and placed them on 3MD.
    “What do you want to do with all this stuff?” Jennifer asked looking at empty shelf.
    “I don't know yet, but I have some ideas. Our last stop will be armory.”
     
    “What do you want there?” Jennifer tried to move the cart but she couldn't.
     
    John left that question unanswered. He pushed the cart through dark corridors until they came to armory door. There was no way to open it normally so he put all breaching charges on it. They stepped back and John blew it up. There were few things he wanted, rocket launchers, mortar and some more guns.
     
    “Is this all you want from here? Guns?” Jennifer was upset.
    “No I want ammo too. Look for big green boxes with “80mm” on them.” John said jokingly as he placed mortar to last crate. After they loaded ammo on already overloaded cart they headed out.
    Sunlight blinded John when they came outside. Caroline was waiting for them.
    “Where the hell have you been? We're leaving in 60 minutes and you do what? You go inside and gather whatever you can. I don't even want to know what is in those crates and why you are taking that machine. I don't care take what you want, nobody will miss it. Jennifer get someone to bring it to the truck so they can take it to my house. John, go back to your tent and pack your things.”
    They went to do what she said without saying a word, John took backpack with him. For some time they went together, before they parted their ways they shook their hands.
    “Thanks for help down there and with Gillian. I hope we'll meet again.” John said and then he went away.
     
    Gillian waited for him in his tent.
    “Why are you here? You should be packing.” He gently placed the backpack on his bed.
    “I want to spend some more time with you. They want us to live separately as far from each other as possible. Do you need help with armor?” She put her hands on his chestplate.
    “Some help wouldn't hurt.”
     
    They couldn't find a way to cooperate to take off armor so John did it by himself.
    “We should go. It's been almost an hour I can't believe they don't have machine for this.”
    John locked his armor in a crate.
    “You should build one...wait you don't need to. You are not taking it with you, are
