If what Adam heard was true, for once he was glad to be stuck in Paragon's basement. The weather was apparently quite bad. Adam was used to being down here alone, and mostly that sucked. Despite his disfigurement, he was missing social interaction. He was terrified of it at the same time. It was a strange dichotomy.
Right now, the room was quiet. Adam didn't want to listen to anything as he field stripped his pistol. He had no ammunition and it hadn't been fired, so everything should be fine, but the process filled the time. He had asked Victor to make sure. Besides the sensors in the grip and sights, it was mostly the same as a normal one - at least in the sense that he could disassemble it as any other firearm. The process wasn't necessary today. The gun was immaculate, but it was a time.
The lack of sound wasn't unusual. Adam often worked in silence unless he was talking with Eva or L0-9. He wondered how L0-9's friend was handling this storm. Briefly he hoped she was alright. Adam would ask the next time the LUMA spoke with him. Sometimes Adam listened to music while he worked, but it wasn't all the time. He had learned most of Cadence's music library by now. The biggest change in his environment was the light. Adam was no longer sitting in darkness as much. Since he had been tested, he felt better about what he was, even if what he could do was scary.
Adam reassembled his pistol and admired it once more. It was an elegant weapon. He hoped that sometime after the storm ended, he could do some live fire practice. The weapon reassembled, Adam put it back in its case and slid it under his bed. He should see about getting a safe to store it in after things calmed down a bit. Adam took a shower and got dressed. There wasn't much more he could really do today. Like so many things in the army, he had a lot of down time when nothing specific had to be done. He grabbed a random book and began to read. Just another thing to fill the time.
