The last time he'd been turned on had been a shock as well. Simon had done his best to make sure that if he'd been found the humans couldn't use him against Markus and the others, but even putting a bullet in his head hadn't done the trick.
Some how he'd missed any biocomponents that would make it impossible to turn him back on. He was still badly damaged, but some how he's woken back up, by a stranger, a voice he doesn't know, until suddenly it's Markus. It's confusing for certain, who was the voice from before? Had Markus come back to get him? Why? How?
Damaged as he was it doesn't seem strange that Markus wants the location to Jericho. Simon's mind reassures him that this is good. Markus is here. Markus. It's all he can focus on. Markus is a light in the darkness, literal darkness as his optical processors are damaged. At least for a moment, far too quickly Markus is gone again, quiet, but Simon reaches out and there's someone there, Markus is there. While he doesn't answer he still begs for him to not leave.
Don't leave-!
But he's cut off, words dying on his lips so suddenly it's like he was never speaking. Turned off and many of his functions highly limited, Simon doesn't know how much time passes, so when he's powered up yet again, it's like none had passed at all. He starts, loudly, a garbled sound distorted as his hand shoots up to grab for the retreating hand that had switched him back on. Blind as he is he ends up grabbing at the arm instead, holding on for dear life.
"Markus. Don't leave. Please!" Blind eyes are wide, lips quivering with thirium still staining them in fear. "Don't leave me again, Markus. Don't-"
He's desperate, even though he still hasn't heard Markus' voice again, he can't leave him. He doesn't want to die, he doesn't want to be left alone.
"M-Markus, please..." And while his optical processors are shot, he can still cry, wetness sliding down one cheek as his LED circles red the entire time.
For diplomats
