Zen

Everything was so strange.
As Zen sat motionless on the uncomfortably hard bed, he felt utterly lost. The cellblock in its grey monochromatic design was bleak, and seemed to suck the life out of him. The plasteel and other metals surrounding him were cold, and made for an inhospitable environment. Even the other people occupying the cells appeared unnerving, and he tried his best to avoid them.
This place was nothing like the warm home he had come from. Zen missed his family. He wondered how the kids were doing. Did they understand what was happening? Though, the longer that he dwelled on the past, the worse that he felt. Sometimes, he regretted having emotions.
When his cellmate began to play their loud music, Zen found the noise obnoxious. The sound was blaring from the music player, and he couldn't quite understand why someone would like to listen to such an angry noise. But, the longer that he listened, he soon felt his chest thump along with the beat. It felt weird, but when it happened, Zen felt alive. It was invigorating. And soon, his mood had improved and he was nodding along to the music.
Was this how normal humans felt, he wondered to himself.
However, as the unusual man appeared, he quietly watched him. Zen was only curious about the situation, until the man's greeting of 'inorganic companions'. It was then that he was instantly put on guard. Zen had been hiding his identity as an android and had been successful so far. Yet, it seemed that this person was aware of his real identity.
While Zen listened to the man's speech, he was suspicious of what his motives might be. Surely he could have found other crew members? Ones with a better reputation than themselves. Zen was still learning about the workings of the world beyond domestic servitude, but even he could see that this offer seemed too good to be true.
As the man left them the blueprints of the prison, and some grenades, Zen was still considering his options. In truth, he was paralyzed by the idea of having to make such a big decision himself. It was all so much easier when someone just gave him an order. However, it appeared that his roommate had already decided that they were going to try and escape.
Zen watched as she packed up her belongings, and determined that he would rather go with her than be left behind. Since he didn't have any person items himself, he simply just stood from the bed, tentatively stepping a foot out of the cell. He was half expecting for an alarm to go off, but, as he exhaled the breath he was holding, the block remained silent.
While Zen glanced around, looking to spot any camera's before turning back to his cellie, "So, do you have any ideas? I think going through the ventilation will probably be the safest…" He commented. Zen was hoping that they could get out without any violence, or even seeing a single gaurd.
