for want of a mackerel

Summary:

During another side-operation, 2B suffers an unexpected lapse in judgement, forcing 9S to temporarily act in her stead despite his lack of combat prowess. What starts as an accident becomes an unintended bonding experience for the two androids. [Ending K]

Rating: T Genre: Hurt/Comfort Characters: 2B, 9S, Devola

a/n: For Day 30 of Whumptober: RECOVERY. Contains spoilers for NieR Automata in regards to 2B, 9S and their dynamic.

Link to [ao3]

2B first received the mackerel in her inbox, attached to Jackass's letter. A long-standing favor she'd been putting off in the interest of pursuing more direct objectives. She directed Pod 042 to file it away.

Fish, 9S explained, were something of a commodity on Earth to androids and machines alike. The large or exotic specimens could yield enough money for a chip capacity expansion or a weapon upgrade. A few eccentric androids kept synthetic kilifish as pets, much to the incredulity of their commanding officers.

The act of fishing was not something 2B had taken into account. A handful of times, 9S would stop by a suitable body of water and demonstrate. Initially 2B concluded it was not necessary to their mission. 9S would contrast mechanical specimens from their organic counterparts. 2B had fished up more metal than live tissue, and a handful of junk that sold well enough at shops to convince her that it was not a pointless expenditure. At the very least, Command had no quarrel with him and 2B saw no reason to chastise 9S so long as the fishing did not impede their directive.

It was only after a couple side operations and an overdue trip to the supply trader within the resistance camp that 2B considered the mackerel and its intended purpose. She'd only meant to purchase a few restorative items. She paged down the holographic menu and noted the mackerel in her inventory. "How much for this?"

"I'll give you five-hundred." The Resistance android paused. "Say, is that a live mackerel?"

"Yes." 2B was unclear as to the desire for clarification. In her view, it was better to have one less item cluttering up her inventory. Jackass wouldn't press it, or else find another unsuspecting android to test out on. Her attention had drifted towards 9S, who was chatting with the unintelligibly fast-talking resistance member with pinkish hair. 2B chose instead to sell some boar meat for twice the value of the mackerel.

They spent the afternoon in the dunes, slaughtering machines. 9S had to remind her to send a status report to the Bunker, which necessitated visiting one of the terminals. There was nothing pressing left to do for the day besides a few side-ops, and Anemone insisted they take a break when 2B politely inquired.

In the spare room set aside for them, 9S shook the sand from his boots and grumbled to himself. 2B called on her Pod to analyze the fish.

Analysis: Mackerel is a common name applied to a number of different species of pelagic fish, mostly, but not exclusively, from the family Scombridae. They are found in both temperate and tropical seas, mostly living along the coast or offshore in the oceanic environment.

"Humans used to eat them," 9S said.

Affirmative. The mackerel is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and was intensively harvested by humans. Sport fishermen valued the fighting abilities of the king mackerel. However, the flesh of the mackerel spoils quickly and can cause scombroid food poisoning. Accordingly, it should be eaten on the day of capture unless properly refrigerated or cured.

2B stared at the fish. Its eyes were glassy and the texture of its body a disconcerting combination of slimy and smooth.

Alert: Consumption of the mackerel by an android may severely compromise motor functions and is therefore unadvised.

2B pressed her lips into a thin line. "Androids are capable of simulating several human processes."

Affirmative.

"Well, yeah, we possess some capacity, but we're not exactly designed to digest things." She'd been working alongside 9S long enough. He would have rather been at the Bunker where they could take baths. But the Resistance Camp offered no such luxuries. 2B could go on without for a while. "There's a chemical in the mackerel's oils that reacts badly with our bodily fluids. If you're lucky you'll just be paralyzed." He buckled his boots and stood. "It's completely counterintuitive to our mission."

It was inadvisable to disregard 9S or her Pod. "Have the effects been documented on a combat model?"

9S frowned. "What difference does it make?"

2B waited for a direct confirmation. When it was not provided, she said, "I'll try it once. If something happens, backup my current coordinates to the Bunker."

9S stood up. "You're not seriously going to eat it?"

"There's no logical reason for you to eat the fish," said 2B curtly. "Are there any documented cases of death from poisoning in the archives?" 9S hesitated. "Then it should be fine."

The first hour saw no visible fluctuation in her battle performance or perception of her surroundings. Her limbs felt stiff but otherwise unchanged. They went off to the dunes again to sweep up any remaining machine lifeforms. 2B was having trouble dodging and took a blow from one of the bipeds.

Alert: Mobility malfunction detected.

9S was running over to her, kicking up sand. Somehow she'd fallen to her knees. "We can't both use the transport, we'll have to—" 2B seized up, her mouth moved soundlessly as she emitted a strangled, droning noise.

9S grabbed her shoulders before she could fall over. "Don't exert yourself any more than you have to." 2B struggled to comprehend the meaning behind the syllables. "Here—" he hooked her arm over his shoulder, and she attempted to brace herself, leaning against him "—okay. That's good for now."

Gingerly, step-by-step, they began to traverse across the sand. 2B's heels did her no favors in this respect. She had to stoop just to keep up with his pace and the longer they struggled the worse the pain was becoming. Her legs gave out and she pulled 9S with her into the sand, retching but unable to produce anything.

"2B!"

There was a pain in her chest, comparable to a physical compression. She managed to shove herself to a hunched sitting position, trying to breathe, but simply slid down the dune. As 9S reached her, she gestured to her mouth, unable to articulate. 9S grabbed her shoulders.

"What? What's wrong?"

Pod 153 chimed in:

Hypothesis: Unit 2B must expel the foreign agent to avoid further contamination.

"How am I supposed to do that?" 9S demanded, trying his best not to give in to panic. "I can't just—cut her open, there are too many variables."

Suggestion: perform manual override.

"You want me to hack into her?" It was risky in the best of circumstances; hacking a sentient was far more optimal when the subject was not malfunctioning. And a simple override didn't negate the problem of the raw chunk of fish stuck in her digestive tract.

Perform manual override.

9S tapped his fingers to one temple. A sudden lurching motion beyond her control. She fell to all fours, heaving. The meat came up chunky and undigested, smelling worse than it did the first time. If she were any more human-like, 2B might have vomited again from the effluvium itself but lacked the capacity.

She raised her head slightly, bumping his cheek. He didn't seem to notice how close they were. Without thinking, she whispered, "It was my fault."

"I'm just glad it worked," said 9S with a forced air of relief. "For a minute there it looked like we'd have to cut you open."

2B was already sitting up, wiping her mouth. Then lurched again. A dozen different alerts from Pod 042 fired off in tandem. Even with the mackeral out of her system, it was too late to stop the poisoning.

9S had not been programmed for combat. Whenever he tried to express that, she never seemed to understand, just as he had not understood Jackass blowing up the barricade. It was counterproductive to think about Jackass right now but his anger had no other outlet. He would never guess that consuming the fish was a form of flagellation. "2B, I should never have let you eat the damn fish."

2B made another funny noise, but she didn't look pained this time. "It wasn't so bad, you know. Exquisite."

"Shh. You don't want to overexert yourself," said 9S, because the less he heard about the stupid mackerel, the better. "I'm gonna hack into one of those machines and carry you to the Resistance Camp. It'll only take a second." She attempted to affirm but could only seize. 9S cursed. The other stubbies had noticed their activity, eyes flashing red. "Requesting authorization to sync control of Pod 042 with 153."

Pod 042 chimed in: Affirmative.

2B was barely listening. Haptic feedback muted, tiny grains of sand against synthetic skin. The biped came into her vision. She couldn't reach for her weapon at all. Maybe this was just, given what she'd done to him over and over. That he would be unable to save her from her own foolishness. It brought her more pain that enduring his anger.

"Whoa-whoa, it's me!" The biped reached out, its green eyes flickering. "I hacked into one of these guys."

2B couldn't help but exhale before the pain redoubled and she began to seize. The biped lifted her into its arms as if she weighed nothing at all and began to sprint across the dunes.

At the camp, 2B laid on the operating table while Devola got to work. The effect of the sedative was two fold; 2B was aware of her surroundings but effectively paralyzed from the neck down. The newer combat models processed an dopamine imitator but also a failsafe built into their self-destruct function. The digestive function was perfunctory at best and technically incomplete, as all the old records had been lost with the old world. The latest YoRHa models could ingest food but often had trouble breaking down the components as a live human would. Mackerel would congeal the fluid within an android and induce paralysis. Like shoving food into the port of a machine, it would gum up the works and possibly damage it permanently. What possessed their creators to design a fascimile, it was beyond Devola's understanding. A cruel joke at their expense or simple folly.

While Popola tried to get the story out of 9S, who insisted he didn't know what compelled his comrade to eat the fish, Devola was busy making sure 2B remained conscious. Opening up her abdominal cavity. A YoRHa unit possessed synthetic organs in a crude approximation of a human's. Her pale eyes flickered in the direction of the terminal. The spare room.

She had an alarming tolerance to the sedative. Combat models tended to plateau earlier than their Scanner peers, given that they were experiencing a constant influx of dopamine with each successful kill. An expirimental new E-Drug cooked up by some of the units stationed in the desert oasis. It boosted stamina and combat ability, but could produce auditory and visual glitches. Devola and Popola had already tended to half a dozen YoRHa and Resistance androids. No trace of the drug was in 2B's system.

She had eaten the fish of her own volition. Popola had the better bedside manner. Devola attemped the same bright tone that sounded hollow, "9S stopped by earlier."

2B gave the barest sound and her eyes wandered back towards the empty sky. As Devola removed a few half-digested chunks of raw meat from the crude instestinal tract, she said, "You know, it's not uncommon for androids to test the limitations of our anthropormorphic attributes. We were made in the image of our creators, after all. It's only natural we would try to understand them, even if it seem strange at times. Humans don't always act in ways that make logical sense."

2B said nothing. A deadness behind her pale eyes caught Devola by surprise. She dropped the act of geneality.

"Your model is inexpensive to replace compared to your partner. But that's not why you did this, is it?"

Devola wasn't interested in arguing to 9S that 2B was perfectly rational when she ate the fish and on the operating table. 9S's superior intellect precluded him from comprehending the simpler truth. With the capacity for independent thought and simulated emotions, these thoughts and feelings deemed inexpressible would manifest in "irrational" behavior that was, ironically, perfectly reasoned. The motive was not something 2B could articulate, or perhaps she lacked the capability to grasp why she'd acted beyond remorse itself. Dwelling too long on existential questions would not make her a better combat model.

"Well, I guess only you need to know the reason why."

She sewed 2B back up, blotting away the oil so like hemic fluid. With a few taps to her spine and nape, 2B was reactivated.

2B sat up with a muted groan. She turned to face Devola and said, "Where is 9S now?"

A tense silence awaited her in the spare room.

9S insisted on running diagonostics. If not for the stress of their mission earlier, 2B would have thought nothing of it. Laying on her back, 9S's hand on her temple, she heard him muttering to himself, "Maybe a logic virus? No, there's no symptoms...."

The note of frustration in his tone gave her no relief.

2B was already intimate with the make of his model and its vulnerabilities. She'd crushed his windpipe a dozen times, swallowing down the desire to apologize for what should only be duty. She'd run him through with her blade twenty eight times. He would understand one day, but that would mark the end of YoRHa. To him, she need only be a lowly combat model, unsophisticated despite her physical prowess. A superior to trust with his life as she trusted hers to him. She was not an intellectual to share and appreciate all the data he collected from their field missions. That was 21O's job. Another emotionally unavaliable model.

Due to the nature of their assignment, Executioners were subject to severe psychological and memory strain. 2B was the only E Model on record to expressly abstain from direct emotional attachment, both verbally and non-verbally. It was technically redundant as no other YoRHa model need expressly prohibit "emotion", though 2B was never penalized by Command or by 6O, the latter of which simply interpreted this as 2B's austere demeanor.

Killing machines helped to 'blow off steam', to borrow the human expression. Though she would never admit it to 9S or anyone else, 2B possessed ulterior motives beyond satisfying his concern for her safety. Whenever he tried to open up, she had to be cold and focus on the mission. But that didn't mean she was indifferent to him. If she did not appreciate his concern for her well-being and his capabilities, she would not have agreed to let him run diagnostics. She'd only let her guard down because of the damned fish.

"All right, you're clear." 2B got to her feet. 9S wasn't towering over her, but his frame radiated displeasure. "You shouldn't have done something so reckless."

"Your life is worth more to YoRHa. It was for your own safety." He opened his mouth to argue and she persisted, "Between the two of us, I'm far more expendible. The Bunker can afford to transfer a combat model's memories along the network without much fuss. This was a calculated decision in the interest of proving my resistance to mackerel consumption as well as poisoining. To ask you to take such a risk in my stead would be illogical."

9S seemed to relax a little, but it didn't reach his voice. "You're recovering faster than I expected."

"It was thanks to Devola and Popola," said 2B. "As well as you." She turned and tested her legs. No apparent malfunction. "Let's report our findings to Jackass."

"Are you serious?" 9S exploded. "After all the trouble I went through to keep you alive, you're just going to humor her?"

"We've determined the adverse effects of mackerel consumption. Once is enough."

9S's expression did not change. He turned away. 2B hesitated. Wounding him in such a way brought her no pleasure. "I'm sorry that I caused you so much trouble," she said. "I'm fortunate to be assigned to you, 9S. But I would never have asked you to take such a risk."

A faint tremor in his shoulders. 9S mastered it. "I understand that. I'll touch base with Command."

2B smiled to his back. "Thank you."

Daniel apologizes for the current lack of power and suggests to continue this conversation outside.

It is a mild day on the Greenland Sea, but even so the Detroiters can't leave their cabins in street clothes, the only clothes they have on them. In this situation Daniel wordlessly points at his new co-workers' lockers and indeed each contains a set of outerwear, a work overall, an apron for laboratory work, a bathrobe, gym clothes with the CyberLife symbol and even a diving suit.

The clothes that are meant for humans are uniformly yellow, and those for androids blue. Rika and Connor put them on without complaining, but they do rip off the demeaning android armbands and the "Made by CyberLife" label.

"It took seeing it with my own eyes to believe we really are on an offshore oil rig", Susan confides in her friends. “It’s kinda cool.”

Hank turns to Daniel: "Why aren't you color-coded, Mr. Phillips? Does the black signify your workplace seniority or...?"

"Purchaser’s privilege. I was coherent enough to hit the outfitter before boarding the helicopter", Daniel snaps. "Of course drinking myself into oblivion would have spared me from having to listen to the rotor noise all through the journey here, so each approach has its advantages."

"So that's what it feels like", Gavin murmurs. For years he hasn't been willing to give Hank a break for his drinking habits. Now the Gavin finds himself at the receiving end of this treatment and it stings.

But there is no way around it: The group really smells of booze ten miles against the wind! The stink is testament to them having had way more than they had planned.

Tina smirks. "You know what?" she tosses into the round. "Getting people drunk to draft them for work nobody in their right mind would consider doing - this is a classic case of Shanghai'ing!"

Connor nods. The officer has a point there. Too bad that if Tina is correct, there will be contracts with their signatures on somewhere, contracts it will be hard to get out again.

"I want a blood sample from everyone! If we can present proof of what trick was played on us, we might stand a better chance in court", Connor states. "Would you show us to the lab, Mr. Phillips?"

A Complete Breakdown of Taxi Booking App Development Costs

The ride-hailing industry continues to dominate the transportation sector, making taxi booking apps a high-potential business model. As more entrepreneurs and companies look to enter this market, understanding the Taxi Booking App Development Cost is critical for planning and budgeting. In this post, we’ll break down the various cost elements involved in building a taxi app, including features, technology, timelines, and what to expect when working with a taxi app development company.

Why Taxi Booking Apps Are in High Demand

People around the world now prefer convenience over traditional methods of hailing a cab. With just a few taps, users can book rides, track drivers, and make payments through mobile apps. This user behavior has led to a rapid surge in demand for reliable and scalable taxi apps. Businesses that invest in custom app solutions are positioning themselves ahead of the curve in this competitive market.

Key Components That Influence Taxi Booking App Development Cost

The cost of developing a taxi booking app is influenced by various elements such as app complexity, feature set, number of platforms, and geographical location of the development team. At a high level, the app typically includes three components: the passenger app, the driver app, and the admin panel. Each component requires design, coding, integration, and testing, which directly affects the overall development cost.

Custom user interface design and seamless user experience also play a critical role in determining price. An app designed with a minimal yet functional interface may cost less than one with custom animations, interactive maps, and tailored onboarding processes.

Passenger and Driver App Features and Their Impact on Cost

The features you choose to implement have a significant impact on development costs. Basic features include user registration, booking interface, fare calculation, GPS-based tracking, and payment gateway integration. If you're looking to include advanced functionalities such as voice-enabled commands, in-app chat support, AI-based driver matching, or ride scheduling, these will increase both the cost and development time.

The driver’s version of the app requires features like ride requests, navigation, trip history, earnings tracking, and ratings. Balancing performance and simplicity is essential to deliver a smooth experience for both users and drivers.

Admin Panel and Backend Infrastructure

Behind every successful taxi app is a robust admin panel that controls users, drivers, payments, analytics, and promotional offers. Developing a powerful backend requires advanced security measures, data processing tools, and a scalable architecture. Backend infrastructure also includes third-party APIs, real-time databases, and cloud hosting—each of which adds to the cost.

A high-performing backend ensures that your app operates smoothly even under high traffic. This part of the project usually accounts for a significant portion of the overall Taxi Booking App Development Cost.

Estimated Cost Based on App Type

A basic taxi booking app with essential features developed for a single platform can cost between $15,000 and $25,000. If you’re building for both Android and iOS with more interactive features, the cost typically rises to $30,000 to $60,000.

A highly customized app—similar in scale to Uber or Lyft—with features like dynamic pricing, real-time analytics, multilingual support, and in-app wallets can cost $70,000 to $120,000 or more. Costs also increase if you plan to integrate AI, machine learning, or blockchain for advanced functionalities and security.

Geographic Impact on Development Costs

The region where your development partner is located can significantly influence your final bill. Developers based in the United States or Western Europe often charge much higher rates than their counterparts in Southeast Asia or Eastern Europe. Working with an experienced offshore taxi app development company can be a cost-efficient way to build a high-quality product without exceeding your budget.

Timeline and Team Size Considerations

Development time directly correlates with cost. A basic app can be built in about 3 to 4 months. More advanced solutions can take 6 to 9 months or longer, depending on the number of features, platforms, and customizations involved.

Larger teams speed up development but increase costs. A typical taxi app development team includes project managers, UI/UX designers, frontend and backend developers, QA engineers, and deployment specialists. Whether you opt for a fixed-cost model or hourly rates, the more resources involved, the higher the cost.

Ongoing Maintenance and Post-Launch Costs

Once your app is launched, the job isn’t over. Regular updates, new feature rollouts, bug fixes, and performance optimization are vital to keep the app running smoothly. Post-launch maintenance typically costs about 15% to 25% of the initial development cost per year, depending on the scale and complexity of your app.

App store compliance, server upgrades, and user feedback-driven improvements are part of long-term success and must be factored into your budget.

Final Thoughts: Smart Planning Leads to Smarter Spending

The Taxi Booking App Development Cost varies depending on your vision, technical needs, and the development team you choose. Whether you’re creating a local ride-sharing service or launching a large-scale taxi network, investing in a feature-rich, user-friendly app is a smart business move.

By understanding the breakdown of costs and working with a reputable taxi app development company, you can ensure transparency, quality, and timely delivery. Building a taxi booking app in 2025 isn’t just about following a trend—it’s about creating a scalable digital product that meets real-world transportation needs.
