"You would think that with all the conspiracy theories and alien sightings in the mid 2000's would have given some implication to the impending doom of the Earth. It all ended because someone couldn't read an stone correctly." She said as small USB-like cable emerging from her wrist ran millions of lines of code across her eyes, sourcing from a small 2015 model laptop. Her voice was metallic, yet light. Her eyes illuminated with the lines of code as she learned what seemed to be an entire century's worth of the Internet in the blink of an eye. Her serial number was AN-1994A, known by most as Ana. A body incased in an enriched titanium alloy, one of the latest automatons produced for the sole purpose of keeping peace on an otherwise hopeless planet. She was built to last, and was one of the few specimens with free-will that managed to inhabit the desolate wasteland that had become of Earth.
"Don't get yer' hopes up, them computers ain't got nothin' valuable on where the caravan is no how.." She finished her data analysis and looked up at her companion. He was a slender, tall man about 6'5" due to the adaptation of human life forms over the years. Bald, but blonde eyebrows and a blonde beard that covered half his face to keep it cool. Several robes stacked over each other to shield himself from the scorching heat, and the devastation cold when nightfall came, along with a large, circular billed hat made of straw.
"Why don't you be useful and look for scrap, Reacher?" She retorted. She continues on to another computer she had found and began her second scan. He rose from his seat and began rummaging through several bins and wreckage within the downed Boeing CH-47 Chinook. Rifles or explosives were the real prize in this situation, at least to Reacher. Even primitive non-laser rifles could kill a man. Gears, copper shells, and wire all filled his bag as Ana finished her scan of the last remaining in-tact laptop.
