Truly, my intentions are not villainous!

by Cypher

It's not been a good couple of weeks.
 
First I send Lindsay off on that ill fated trip and they murdered him. Then when I confront Osbourne my anger gets the best of me and I come off as threatening. Probably didn't make any friends there.
 
I go and visit the site where Algorithm got his new body from and realize there are lots of robotic parts here. I start building Mick, the final member of my Band and sure enough... Al comes to visit me. Why is it that he seems to have no problem tracking me down but I can't do the same to him?
 
He tries to sweet talk me into a revenge mindset, even informs me of the things that I've done. The damage is there, my outburst will make me look guilty and Al knows it!! He truly is a master manipulator. I use my contacts within NCP to my best effect. Stella truly enjoyed that lube bath after all the dirty underwater scavenging she did to setup the portals for Ghost in Lake Huron. Henri appreciated the memory upgrade and expanded hard drive space after getting Rex's (I mean - My Hero's) lab upgraded. The fleshies (Funny I don't think of myself as one anymore) really don't get it. They are a different life force but still a life force of their own. And now Lindsay has gone on to... Electric Heaven? Oh there is so much we don't know!
 
I get a faint telepathic thought about Senator McCall & his family from Algorithm. I know I will have to intervene, and I will likely have to face the forces of Destroyer, Algorithm and Division on my own as my trust levels within NCP are at an all time low! This hero thing will be the death of me yet!
 
I get some upgrades for Stevie so her evasion will work better - seriously unclear on how many foes I'll be facing here! Don't have time to implement the weapons upgrades on John & Christine, there's just no time! So I gather my Band together and that's when I notice that Al has absconded with Mick!!! The nerve of that robot!!
 
I get to Gross Pointe and find the Senator's house just as destroyer soldiers are closing in, gadzooks, there are at least 30 of them. Whoever this senator is, they mean business - looks like a platoon of soldiers!! I send Stevie out to start softening them up. I setup a communications protocol through christine and tell her to inform the Senator of what's happening. Keep your family safely inside your home. I am here to protect you. To myself I wonder how long I'll have until Destroids appear?
 
Stevie's low level laser blast makes short work of the soldiers. She takes down 24 of them before they even really know what's hit them! Go Stevie! John circles the area to keep an eye out for new arrivals. Oh no - static buildup means Destroids are incoming, holy crap 5 of them! Oh no, 4 Black Talons enter the scene. Green comes up close to me, It's ok Peter, this might be our last stand but we'll make them pay dearly for this win!
 
There's a quantum underlay energy surge practically in front of me, what new menace has Destroyer thought up now? I raise my rifle, trying to decide which is the best function to initiate.
 
Then John tells me that the New Champions are here, I'm not sure if this is good news or not. But we'll take everything in stride. John also informs me of resistance soldiers on site. Good news abounds. Stevie's energy stores are getting low, she likely only has a few charges left then flying may become her only option...
 
John reports that the BT's are going down fast. That's the best news I've had in weeks!
 
Lyzen ports up in front of me, and inadvertently puts herself between me and that Quantum Energy Surge (QES). I use one of my new tricks to drag her into the safety field of Green but she teleports away - Looks like I may have added to those I will be fighting today!
 
Mick comes into focus through the QES, that bastard Algorithm, gonna make me take down my own creation! Fighting continues, Mick hits me with a scrambler that causes my nanites to falter and fall away... Oh no - I'm in big trouble now! My armour falls off of me, and so do my enhancements... This looks like it will be warner's last stand afterall! Its been a good run Alex, stay brave, hopefully you won't really feel the pain... I'm sorry Annie, I never got to make it right between us... Aaargghhhh.
 
Darkness engulfs me, is this the end?
