Prometheus did nothing other than take the blows and stagger forward as it groaned in pain, before looking behind itself back at Steam, the large eye turning red.

Edge laid in the back seat, speechless and thoughtless. Something had itched in the back of her mind the discs would be ugly, but she didn't suspect that they would be this ugly. The execution of a wife for simply leaving people alive. A life for thousands of others. It hardly seemed fair, and in a darker area of Edge's mind she couldn't help but be slightly judgmental with Tango. The first time they met he went on and on how the Hunters were terrible and murderous, yet previous discs showed he was no different.
She sighed heavily, pulling the disc out, taking off her helmet, and running her fingers through her hair. The whole thing was turning into a mess. Edge was beginning to rethink going through what were clearly memory files for Tango, memories he must has transferred to the discs (if it were possible for a human... Thing, whatever he was) so they didn't drive him insane. She wasn't sure she could stomach much more of his past, and wondered if her brother's location would even be revealed.
An idea then sparked in her head. Metal Man's location was shown. Not directly, but it was there, on the third disc in the broken portion.
She dug through the collection, pulling out the third disc a second time and got out of the car, racing to technical support. Maybe, just maybe, one of them could get her the information she needed.

In the Tech wing, things seemed to be pretty slow. Slow enough that one or two of the people there were asleep with their heads planted on their desks.
There would be no line for Edge to wait in.

"Hey." Edge chirped, waiting excitingly at the desk and poking at one of the sleeper's head so they'd wake faster.
"I need help."

The man groaned before looking up at her.
"...What seems to be the problem, ma'am..?"

Edge held out the disc to him, "This got damaged, and the last bit of information it holds is can't show. Is there any way we can retrieve the information this disc can't show, and then put it on another disc?"

The man looked at the disc and took it, examining the damage.
"...It's entirely possible." he told her simply, spinning his chair, now facing a crate full of equipment.
"It is bound to take awhile, though."

"Any estimates on what a while will be?" Edge asked with an impatient frown.

"An hour at LEAST. It looks like this disc got hit by a saw." The man said, already pulling out some equipment and fiddling with a few devices.

"Yeah, it was." Edge cleared her throat as she started for the door.
"I'll be back in hour then, or so. Depends on how things go on my end." She added nervously, before bolting out before questions could be asked.

No doubt Icarus would would actually give birth to a cow if she left to help Dozer and Steam with their assignment, Edge decided to go to the one she place she wanted to avoid at all costs right now.
Hal's office.

Hal was focused on his new assignment, which in this case called for removing a glitch that made Land-Based Reploids believe they were capable of flight.
"Where the hell do these glitches come from!?"

"Sometimes, I think they're jokes that have been taken a bit too far." Edge answered with a sheepish smile, standing in the doorway of Hal's office.

Hal looked back at Edge, staring at her in silence.
It was unclear whether or not he had forgiven her for what had happened before.
