Zero can see the screen start to distort the image from the pressure.
"You're gonna crack it!"
It sounds kind of angry, but still distressed. Completely ignoring his money problems now.

Now the emotion has changed. Even more curious.
"You didn't answer me."
He says matter-of-factly, pressing ever so slightly harder again.

The vending machine is kind of panicking now. "Can you please stop harassing that... Vending machine?" A womans voice asks near by. If he were to look he would notice the woman was approaching Zero and the Vending Machine. The vending machine takes her side immediately. "Yes, please stop. I don't know where to get a Guide Tablet."

Zero turns to look, and tilts his head a little.
"I am not harassing. I'm questioning. The machine stopped answering my questions and spoke of other matters."
He withdraws his finger.
"I am attempting to learn about the purpose of various people's of this planet."

She frowns at his statements, but clears her throat to make sure she stayed impartial.
"Well... I can answer most of your questions I guess, but why do you want to know? You understand that the people here are in a cold war, right?"

"I'm a stranger to this land, so I wish to learn about it."
Perhaps it would teach him about himself.
"What is this frigid conflict you speak of?"

"Oh. Odd, immigrants are usually well documented."
But his comment about a frigid conflict made her chuckle a bit. She was convinced he was just insanely naïve or possibly raised in a fallout bunker. Which probably wasn't out of the question.
"Sorry, a Cold War is a term used to describe a war between nations that use spies or sabotage to defeat each other rather than outright battle. So, you asking a bunch of questions could cause officials or police to detain you for background checks or questioning."

"I am not a spy."
Zero feels like he has to clear that up.
"What nation are you trying to defeat?"

She nods understanding his need to clear his own name.
"How about an introduction first? I'm Caffra."
She holds out a hand for Zero to shake should he accept it.

He looks at her hand for a moment, then holds his out in a mimicry of the action.
Not shaking her hand, but holding his out in the same way.
"I am Zero. I've met your Guardian already."

She takes his hand and gives it two small shakes before releasing.
"Guardian?"
She pulls up her left sleeve as a holographic display pops up running through information at lightning speeds.
"Oh, I see... Well that is unexpected, but I guess you had a nice visit?"

The fact he can't feel a power increasing from her keeps Zero from being concerned about defense, immediately.
"She was fairly enlightening in terms of mentioning how this planet has a new prevailing race upon it. I am interested in hearing about that race from their own perspective, rather than an outsider's, in order to properly learn from them."

Caffra gave him a puzzled look for a few moments before realizing what he meant.
"So you aren't a Tuffle, and my sensors aren't reading a Power Level, so not Earthling. I'm a Tuffle, I'm a member of the race you are curious about."

"Tuffle. I am an Android."
He nods. He'd registered that information already.
"You are the ones who were driven from your former planet by Saiyans. Do they also have minuscule power levels?"
Since he wasn't really registering one from the majority of Tuffles.

She chuckles again at his question. It felt silly to her, but she also knew she was likely being a little rude so she stifled it as fast as she could.
"Tuffles don't have power levels. We don't have Ki to register like other races. Well like Androids. We have that in common I'd say. Our power suits put us on par with most races though. As for your question, no. Saiyans generally have large power levels as compared to other races besides maybe Mythrosians, due to their tendency to fight rather than talk. If memory serves our recorded average power levels for Saiyans was around twelve hundred."
