Beck stood still as the User walked behind him, observing his disc. He knew his disc like the back of his hand (he was supposed to, anyway...), but anymore in this place he didn't know much about it. The Capitol had made things so complicated.

"None." Beck said, looking over his shoulder. "It's weird though. I don't feel anything when someone touches it, but if it cracks it hurts." He sighed. "The Capitol's made things kind of complicated for me."

[alldeduction]

"Well, that makes an amount of sense at least," Sherlock murmured, observing it. "Converting it into some kind of keratin material. So, like your fingernails, you don't feel direct touch but you certainly feel deep damage."

He pulled back, frowning at it.

"What was its original purpose?"

[amplifying]

"Yeah. That's the basics of it."

Beck looked down for a moment. "It was my primary source of identity. All of my memories were stored on it. It kept track of my functions, and even down to my circuitry. My identity disc is everything to me." Quite literally! "If you lose your identity disc, you become a stray program. You can't remember anything, even who you are."

He waited for a moment or two to go by. "It was also a weapon. We could throw it around and block other attacks if we really had to fight anyone." If only he could use his! "If I could show you, I would."

"Interesting. In essence, your harddrive. I wonder what would happen if it were to be removed?" He wondered allowed, a little morbidly.

Likely nothing, but he had no idea what the capitol did to transform a non-human into one.

Who knew how Beck was wired now.

"I don't know." Beck shook his head. "I wasn't ever told that much."

And it's not like the Capitol would tell him anything. As far as Beck knew, he was just a robot. A robot that felt like a User's body and could bleed and feel. Who even knew.

"It hurts when someone pulls it though. A few arenas ago someone tried to pull me back and it hurt."

[alldeduction]

"Well, I'll have to keep an eye out in the arena for you," Sherlock mused, "See what happens if someone actually manages it."

Yeah that's not creepy at all, Sherlock.

"Let's hope not." Beck muttered, giving Sherlock a nervous kind of grin. "It only happened once before, but it wasn't really fun. I glitch and everything when that happens."

[alldeduction]

"Glitch and everything," Sherlock repeated, a slight smile flickering on his lips.

"Well!" He said suddenly, the smile broadening and not at all sincere. "I suppose we must at least attempt to pretend we are enjoying ourselves. I'm sure we'll have a chance to chat later," He said, and with a little wave and without another word, he disappeared into the crowd.
