When you don't have to eat or sleep, you have a lot of time to just watch the network and see what names show up. Helps know who we're suddenly missing and what patrols need to be picked up.

[Helps him keep track of who suddenly reappears, too.]

Like I said, maybe he doesn't remember his time here, but even if he doesn't, I want eyes on him. Maketh isn't the only one who comes from a background like that, and I don't want anyone falling in with him if I can help it. We're not the cops, but...

[Nick might be all gears and cold metal, but his voice is like fire the longer he goes on, the tension in his artificial musculature wrought with tension. He finally trails off, stifling his ire, pushing a breath through him as he tries again.]

I'm not about to let him get his claws into someone else. I made that mistake with Maketh, thinking she'd do the right thing when it came right down to it. I can't stand by and let innocent people — children die because I didn't do a damn thing to protect them from someone like him.

[Nick tries to be fairly professional with the Guard and his position within the city, always doing what he feels in his mechanical heart to be right and just, but there's one thing that's evident here: it's personal.]
