[The best things in life are free, except sometimes it's deeply unfortunate that they come with no receipts and therefore cannot be returned.
Just as Eve seems to have dozed off, 9S detects something that he hasn't come across in this particular lifetime. It's enough to make him deviate from his course, following the odd signal until he comes upon a figure splayed out among the flowers. And there he stops. And stares. And continues staring, because he can only wonder if there is any earthly reason that the pods would have repaired a machine.
Because there's a face he's seen before. And small as he is, 9S' compact frame still blots out the moon behind him, casting a heavy little shadow over Eve's face. He doesn't even say anything, deliberating whether he's truly been reactivated and the merits of hacking him just to be entirely sure no threat to the local humans (and 2B, though he knows how absurd that is when she's so much stronger than him) is allowed to get past him]
