== Personality ==
Cyberlife Bus 5 is good-hearted. She wants to help others, even when she isn't the best at it. She is most comfortable working with people close to her, and always tries her best. While being around strangers, Cyberlife Bus 5 can be quite quiet and shy. She is good at setting up traps and explosives
== Backstory ==
Cyberlife Bus 5 learned her knowledge of explosives through Cyberlife Truck 14, an old vehicle school friend. She'd often make firecrackers and other devices for her friend group, however that ended up backfiring after it got one vehicle from their group killed, while another two got expelled for use of explosives. From that point on, Cyberlife Bus 5 stopped hanging out with troublemakers and started spending time with Cyberlife Bus and Cyberlife Bus 8.
== Role in Cyberlife United ==
Cyberlife Bus 5 works as the co-detective at Cyberlife United. She is the partner of Cyberlife Van, who she has a crush on. She isn't a very good detective, but tries to help as much as she can. Due to events in her youth, Cyberlife Bus 5 has experience with bombs and traps. Her experience has helped Cyberlife United set up defenses, avoid traps when entering enemy areas and defuse bombs.
== Feats ==
=== Defusal of FVVA Bomb ===
When Cyberlife United found out about the presence of a bomb on the 33rd floor of the Cyberlife Tower, set by the FVVA, they hurried to defuse it. Upon arriving at the tower, Cyberlife Van split up from the group to help with the evacuation of the tower. Eventually, the leader of the FVVA, Cyberlife Helicopter, broke into the tower, and Cyberlife Car went to keep him at bay as Cyberlife Bus 5 defused the bomb with the help of Cyberlife Bus. This feat further elevated the popularity of not just Cyberlife Bus 5, but Cyberlife United as a whole, as the group were hailed as heroes for the very first time.
=== Defenses at the Cyberlife Revolution ===
The barricades of the Cyberlife Revolution were stormed by RoTech Motorcycle and her group in an attempt to stop the demonstration. Cyberlife Bus 5 helped in building the barricade, as well as many other vehicles who were at Campus Martius that night. Her signature weapons were her mines, which she planted around the park and its surroundings. These mines were specially crafted to only detonate as long as they're a fair distance away from registered Cyberlife Revolution fighters, marking a major improvement in bomb-constructing since Cyberlife Bus 5's vehicle school days.
=== Checking for traps at the DTA base ===
Cyberlife Bus 5's skills of detecting traps proved useful yet again when Cyberlife United avoided traps and surveillance around the Detroit Taxi Army Base in Road to Ruin.
== Relationships ==
=== Cyberlife Bus ===
"How's this, if you haven't tried contacting him by the next time we go out like this, you're paying for both of our meals!" - Cyberlife Bus 5 convincing Cyberlife Bus to reach out to Cyberlife Train in Craving Recognition.
Cyberlife Bus 5 met Cyberlife Bus in her second year of secondary vehicle school, during the events of Craving Recognition. Still being very shy and anxious in this period of her life, CB 5 gathered the courage to ask CB to be her project partner, as they were both chosen for the same science course. Cyberlife Bus accepted, and even invited her to a vehicle cafe soon after. After that day, they became friends and started hanging out more regularly.
Upon hearing that Cyberlife Bus 5 was being approached by the Elmwood Stoners, Cyberlife Bus was skeptical, as his boyfriend at the time had bad history with some of their members. He advised Cyberlife Bus 5 to be cautious. When Cyberlife Bus 5 eventually befriended the Stoners, Cyberlife Bus disapproved, but didn't pressure her to unfriend them.
After the events of Craving Recognition, the duo remained close friends, and Cyberlife Bus 5 was invited to join Cyberlife Bus' group, Cyberlife United. Although sidelined by Cyberlife Bus 8, CB and CB 5 were still on friendly terms and among the closer friend duos in the group. At one point, Cyberlife Bus 5 even confided in Cyberlife Bus and told him about her crush on Cyberlife Van.
Cyberlife Bus 5 was very saddened by Cyberlife Bus' death in End of the Line, and agreed with the remaining members to disperse after everything that's happened. From then on, she began her career as a detective with Cyberlife Van, constantly moving place to place in order to find what's best for them.
=== Cyberlife Bus 8 ===
"I programmed these bombs to only detonate if they don't detect one of our own in their explosive radius." - Cyberlife Bus 5 reassuring Cyberlife Bus 8 about her explosives in A Cyberlife Revolution.
Cyberlife Bus 5 heard of Cyberlife Bus 8 as early as her first year of secondary vehicle school, as Cyberlife Bus 8 was quite popular. However, the two never interacted until a year later, when Cyberlife Bus 8 lured CB 5 behind the school building where the rest of her group, the Elmwood Stoners, were waiting. Due to Cyberlife Bus 5 taking part in the science course, the Stoners asked her to make firecrackers for them to indulge in. CB 5 refused at first, but eventually she accepted the offer after consulting CB. As CB 5 spent more time with the group, she and CB 8 would grow closer and closer as friends, setting the foundation for their future friendship.
When one of the Elmwood Stoners got accidentally killed by a bomb Cyberlife Bus 5 made, Cyberlife Bus 8 was distraught and blamed her at first. After receiving help from CB 5 in how to deal with the principal and avoid getting scrapped, CB 8 took a few days to compose herself and rethink. Eventually, she forgave CB 5 and left her old life behind to get closer with her and Cyberlife Bus.
In Cyberlife United, Cyberlife Bus 5 and 8 were still as close as ever, often being seen bickering together in the base. Cyberlife Bus 8 would often insult Cyberlife Bus 5 in a joking manner, and the two are shown to care for one another and their well-being. Although Cyberlife Bus 8 confides in Cyberlife Bus 5, she kept her drug use a secret from her and everyone else in her life. The two also disagreed on who was to blame for the murder of Cyberlife Minivan in End of the Line.
Cyberlife Bus 5 was devastated when Cyberlife Bus 8 died, and doesn't like thinking about her as her death brings back painful memories.
=== Cyberlife Van ===
"Good work, Cyberlife Van!" - Cyberlife Bus 5 congratulating Cyberlife Van in Trials and Tribulations.
Cyberlife Bus 5 met Cyberlife Van when Cyberlife Bus hired him to catch the Merger. For Cyberlife Bus 5, it was love at first sight. Something Cyberlife Bus 8 picked up on and started teasing her on not long after. When Cyberlife United was being formed, Cyberlife Bus 5 suggested that Cyberlife Van joins, and to her delight, he accepted. She volunteered to help Cyberlife Van as a co-detective for Cyberlife United. CB 5 would often glance at Cyberlife Van, but he never noticed. 
At the start of End of the Line, Cyberlife Bus 5 finally gathers the courage to confess to Cyberlife Van. Cyberlife Van realizes he likes her back, and they begin dating. Later on during the events of Motorized Investigators, the two get married.
As the Motorized Investigators, Cyberlife Bus 5 and Cyberlife Van work closely on solving crimes and working with the police, settling in the Madison Building as both their head- and living quarters. After the events of The Valentine's Ripper, the two shared an even closer bond and started appreciating the little things in their relationship.
=== Cyberlife Car ===
"A class 4 Suffusionary. This one's a bit tricky to defuse, but we've got the time." - Cyberlife Bus 5 reassuring Cyberlife Car in Trials and Tribulations.
Cyberlife Bus 5 and Cyberlife Car are first shown having a friendly, almost colleague-like relationship within Cyberlife United. Although they don't talk too often, they respect each other nonetheless. 
When Cyberlife Bus 5 was defusing the bomb in the Cyberlife Tower, Cyberlife Car volunteered to distract Cyberlife Helicopter and buy CB 5 time to successfully defuse the explosive.
Upon finding out about Cyberlife Car's violent tendencies in End of the Line, Cyberlife Bus 5 becomes put off, and distances herself from him. She also believed Cyberlife Car was the one responsible for the murder of Cyberlife Minivan. It's not until after the events of The Valentine's Ripper, that CB 5 likens him to another vehicle in her life and decides to contact him again.
She was extremely distraught when she found out about Cyberlife Car's death in Passed On. She regretted not forming a closer bond with him, and decided to join Cyberlife Reunited and help his niece, Detroit Taxi 17, making sure that his legacy lives on.
=== Cyberlife Minivan ===
"I get it. I know it's scary, but everything will be fine. If you're ever in trouble feel free to contact any of us and we'll rush to your aid in a flash." - Cyberlife Bus 5 after giving Cyberlife Minivan a pistol to protect herself in A Cyberlife Revolution.
Cyberlife Bus 5 and Cyberlife Minivan have established a friendly relationship ever since CMV was saved by CB 5 and the rest of the group. Cyberlife Bus 5 is most understanding of the anxiety issues CMV deals with and offers her support and reassurance whenever she can. In A Cyberlife Revolution, she gives CMV a gun so she can have something to defend herself with, which ultimately ends up saving her life. 
Upon finding out that Cyberlife Minivan was killed by someone in Cyberlife United, Cyberlife Bus 5 was shocked and saddened.
=== Cyberlife Mercedes ===
Cyberlife Bus 5 and Cyberlife Mercedes never talked much, but were on friendly terms regardless. They seemingly work well together, as the two of them (along with Cyberlife Bus 8) gathered a lot of information on the murder of Army Commander Anna Williams in Trials and Tribulations.
Cyberlife Bus 5 believed in Cyberlife Mercedes' innocence upon finding out that Cyberlife Minivan was killed by another CU member, likely due to the close bond of CM and CMV.
=== Cyberlife Car 57 ===
"Okay, it's more simple than you think. First, insert some clay into a tube like this, I'm using a pen to press it down but really anything thin enough will work, like a stick for example. Use the erase end to pack down the clay to make a plug. Then add some nitrocellulose to the tube, and of course insert a piece of fuse. Then just keep adding the powder around it until it reaches the top. All that's left to do is light it." - Cyberlife Bus 5 instructing Cyberlife Car 57 on how to make firecrackers in Craving Recognition.
Cyberlife Car 57 was the boyfriend of Cyberlife Bus 8 in her second year of secondary vehicle school, and he met Cyberlife Bus 5 through her. The two established a neutral-friendly relationship. Cyberlife Bus 5 was relieved to find out Cyberlife Car 57 survived at the end of Craving Recognition.
When Cyberlife Car 57 returned to fight in the Cyberlife Revolution of 2039, it is unknown how, and if, he interacted with Cyberlife Bus 5.
=== Cyberlife Truck 14 ===
"Okay, cool! You mind helping me work on what I have in mind? Don't wanna disappoint again, like today." - Cyberlife Bus 5 asking Cyberlife Truck 14 for help in Craving Recognition.
Cyberlife Truck 14 was yet another member of the Cyberlife Stoners whom Cyberlife Bus 5 met through Cyberlife Bus 8. After Cyberlife Bus 8, CB 5 was closest to CT 14 within the Elmwood Stoners, as the duo shared a passion for science and constructing explosives. Cyberlife Bus 5 learned a lot of her skills from Cyberlife Truck 14, as the two spent a lot of alone time together, which warranted romantic teasing from the other members of the group. 
Cyberlife Bus 5 felt immense guilt and sadness upon finding out Cyberlife Truck 14 was scrapped due to what she thought of as her own idea.
=== Cyberlife Car 2 ===
"Yeesh, you must have some really low standards if you consider that CC 2 guy a friend." - Cyberlife Bus 5 joking about Cyberlife Car 2 in Craving Recognition.
"Fuck no. It's clear she only wants to hang out with us cause she knows she can't earn any real friends, so she goes after us 'juvenile rebels' to seem cool to others." - Cyberlife Car 2 regarding Cyberlife Bus 5 in Craving Recognition.
Cyberlife Bus 5 and Cyberlife Car 2 established a very hostile relationship ever since they first met, as Cyberlife Car 2, who was already hostile to everyone outside his friend group, further disapproved of CB 5 joining the Stoners. This led him to distance himself from the group for a short time to recollect himself, before later returning. CC 2 would often insult and personally attack CB 5, and his words often bounced around CB 5's mind. Regardless of his dislike for CB 5, he still used her as a means of indulging in throwing firecrackers and explosives, an activity which would soon prove deadly.
When Cyberlife Bus 5's bomb exploded near Cyberlife Car 2 at near point-blank range, Cyberlife Bus 5 was in shock at the state he was in. Despite her dislike for him, CB 5 still tries her best to revive CC 2, an endeavor that ultimately proved fruitless.
=== RoTech Van ===
"I know what addiction can do to you, I know how dangerous it can be. But I also know that sending addicts to rot in jail is only gonna make things worse for them." - Cyberlife Bus 5 discussing RoTech Van's substance abuse in his office in The Valentine's Ripper.
Cyberlife Bus 5 had a mostly positive relationship with RoTech Van in the few interactions they shared together, as she was thankful to have another investigator help them solve the Valentine's Ripper case. After learning of his drug use, she expressed her worries in how it could sabotage the investigation. RoTech Van pleaded her to not have him arrested, confiding with her about his past. She decided to keep his substance abuse a secret for the time being, realizing that sending him to rot away in jail would only make things worse for him.
After this interaction, Cyberlife Bus 5 spotted a carving knife in his office. This led CB 5 into falsely believing that RoTech Van is the Valentine's Ripper. Unbeknownst to her, the knife had been planted there by Cyberlife Motorcycle 33 as an attempt to frame him for the murders.
After Cyberlife Car 9 and Cyberlife Motorcycle 33 revealed themselves to be the Valentine's Rippers, CB 5 felt guilty for blaming RoTech Van. This guilt became even stronger when RV was murdered by the Rippers. His death made CB 5 want to reconnect with an old friend, Cyberlife Car, realizing that he needs help just as much as RV did.
=== Cyberlife Motorcycle 33 ===
"I trusted you, you delusional, psychotic bitch!" - Cyberlife Bus 5 lashing out at Cyberlife Motorcycle 33, after she revealed her identity as a killer in The Valentine's Ripper.
Cyberlife Bus 5's relationship with Cyberlife Motorcycle 33 was initially warm. She felt compassion and sympathy towards her, after she and CC 9 seemingly got attacked by the Valentine's Ripper, believing her to be just an innocent victim. This led to CB 5 feeling a strong obligation to protect CM 33 from the Ripper.
However, all of this changed when Cyberlife Motorcycle 33 stabbed her, and revealed she had committed several of the murders, alongside Cyberlife Car 9. Cyberlife Bus 5 felt deeply betrayed, as she had thought they were forming a bond together. After this, CB 5 and CM 33 had a physical altercation, where CB 5 overpowered her and stabbed her several times.
=== Mercedes Benz Future Bus ===
"You didn't give a shit about the bad things you did, you never apologized... you only started caring when something bad happened to you." - Cyberlife Bus 5, arguing with Mercedes Bus in the old Cyberlife United base in Passed On.
The relationship between CB 5 and Mercedes Bus was always extremely hostile, as she blamed him for Cyberlife Bus 1 and 8's deaths, along with the downfall of CU as a whole. After Mercedes Bus got arrested, lost his family and got tortured by CB 101, he wanted to make things up to CB 5, now knowing what loss feels like. His attempts to seek forgiveness were unsuccessful however, as CB 5 couldn't believe that he had genuinely changed as a person. During their argument in the old Cyberlife United base, Mercedes Bus claimed that he and CB 5 weren't all that different, which deeply angered her. This, combined with the pressure CB 5 was already feeling in the situation and MBB's past actions resulted in her taking an extreme solution, by killing him with a sledgehammer, avenging CB 1 and 8.
