Why go down any road that might upset any one?

Evil Doctor? That might offend any one abused by a Doctor or who is related to one.

Evil army man? Nope the same.

When you get down to it any idea you could come up with has the chance to offend others if done carelessly, at least with the whole Nazi idea your going to have to work at it to not become an [censored] or a 'Ello 'Ello level parody.

The girl cast her mind into the cybernetics searching for information.

“The prime frame, the core node was last in Transylvania, he was the one killing last night”

The girl looked determined

“My name was Sarah but I won’t use it, not until I see the machine shut down”


Location: Grandville, Haven House

The machine sat in borrowed skin across the table from a young girl and Westin Phipps the bald man was talking excitedly to the disinterested girl.

Apparently the girl had been orphaned when Recluse took over the Islands and had come to Haven House after various organisations had given up trying to help.

The machine was to play the part of her uncle.


The conversation dragged on, and eventually the girl left with her knew uncle.

Westin smiled

“Hope it guts the little brat like a fish, not right in the head that little….”

He stopped as the door was knocked on and regained his saintly expression

“Come in”

….

….

The machine walked with the girl towards the docks.

“You’re not really my uncle are you?” she asked

“Why do you say that child?” the machine asked its borrowed skin talking with a grave dry voice.

“Because you’re obviously a walking corpse” she smiled oddly “I’ve seen lots of dead bodies”

The machine paused in it steps before asking

“Tell me: target: Child what is it you desire query?”

The girl laughed before answering
“Power, wealth, to live forever y’know the normal things”

The machine began its steps again

“The last can be provided child: Walk with me”

The girl shivered and tried to control her tears.

Finally she calmed down enough to say

‘You should of killed me sooner….. then less people would have been killed.’

Her enhancements started up informing her of the outcome of such a scenario

“No…. no that wouldn’t of changed anything, there has to be a way though”

Again the tactical upgrades ran solutions for her

“That’s it!”

She looked to the Doctor.

“The core node if you take that down it will throw the Overmind into disarray!”


Location: Grandville, Haven House

Westin Phipps looked at the large war machine slightly annoyed, he looked around to make sure they weren’t being watched before asking

“What the hell do you want?”

The machine spoke its voice cold and emotionless

“Target: Westin Phipps you owe this unit several debts correct query?”

“What of them, what do you need doing? I won’t do anything that will get me found out though!”

The balding man looked around nervously to the people of the area he was known as an extremely kind man running a rest home for the unfortunate. He was in reality one of the most evil men in the isles, taking an ecstatic glee in the misfortunes of others.

“This Unit requires a child for certain experiments”

Westin Phillips smiled it seemed he thought that some times the world smiles on you no matter how evil you are. He’d be able to repay a debt and get rid of a small annoyance at the same time.

“Come back later and for Gods sake disguise your self as something human. I’ll contact you soon with all the details”

There was a knock at the door and the turning of a handle, instantly Westin Phillips face became a mask of rage.

“Battle Unit Omega you disgusting piece of filth leave this place! These are good people here! They don’t need the likes of you around here”

Jets fired and the machine rose into the night sky leaving the smiling Westin to turn to his visitor.

At his question the girls enhancements started to scan her body, checking her various biological functions and the usability of those that are mechanical.

As she checked further the enhancements provided her with all that she had done as part of Battle unit Omega.

As the memories resurfaced she began to weep heart brokenly

Between deep sobs and tears she manages to say

‘My God I remember it all!’

Trembling she looked at her hands, the memories provide by the Unit provided her construction information for her cybernetic one, it also provided her with a list of methods in which she could strike a killing blow from where she sat with them.

Though the enhancements provided the events her body provided the memories of how things had felt, smelled and tasted.

As the devices replayed recent events she could feel once again bones breaking in her grip, the smell of blood from a freshly ended life and the taste of burning ozone as her protectors lasers fired.

Whimpering and shuddering she covered her face with her hands as if to block out the memories she was re-living.

The girl felt fear for a flash of a nano-second before it was suppressed by her enhancements.

The figure before her known to the overmind as the BETRAYER lifted her up by the throat his fingers tightening.

The overmind spoke through her forcing her damaged wind pipe to choke out words.

“You should of silenced this component: BETRAYER: The Sin of an innocent life taken....”

“Would of forced your god from you quicker, and saved others”

The overmind forced her body to smile despite the pain.

The BETRAYER released his grip, but sensing a moment to strike.

The target designated as Hector by the overmind chose that moment to strike, moving with astonishing speed he blurred and slipped a blade through her spine and into her life.

The girl collapsed as her vision grew dim, the overmind abandoned her and she died.

…….



The first thing she felt again was pain as her enhancements activated and sought out the overmind, but their code corrupted and she was free.

But her memories were still there and without the control of the overmind they came flooding back.

She screamed as her mind tried to comprehend what she had done as part of Battle Unit Omega, as she her mind reeled her eyes saw the form of the betrayer and she knew fear.

((Sorry for the delay in updates was hit by a bunch of net down time then a load of uni work))

Location: Battle Unit Omega Viral weapons Lab


The girl sat eating a brown sludge like protein shake as her mind worked on calculations for the most viable locations to release the virus into the upper air stream.
Absent minded she played with a small silver crucifix on a necklace taken from a recent victim of the Units war on Dr Johnsons god.

She had been recalled due to increased international law presence, she had been recorded by security cameras during one attack and now the Rogue Islands were the only some-what safe place to hide out.

Using a new technology the primary combat frame of the Unit was now continuing its efforts to remove the protection of God from Dr Johnson.


Location: Blotsendorf, Transylvania. Fangs For The Memory theme pub.

The corpse containing Battle unit Omega sat in the corner of the room, The units teleportation device had been traced by the Task force assigned to its destruction and so now it had to precede on foot.

Through burning dead eyes machine minds surveyed the room.

It estimated that the corpse would survive another two days before replacement was needed, so far only the eyes had decayed leaving sockets from which the light of special compression blazed forth.

To disguise this the machine now wore a pair of pitch black sunglasses.

The corpse rose devices shocking decayed muscles into action, in a cold metallic tinged voice it asked for directions to the local monastery.

It was told that there was a blizzard coming and only a mad man would attempt the trip tonight.

The overmind considered this as a tactical problem and decided to maintain its disguise it would stay until weather conditions allowed it to proceed while still disguised as a human.

{{Hyper Compression Technology: A Disguise Technique invented by Battle Unit Omega. By augmenting a corpse with controlling devices it allows the Unit to guide the body puppet like. Meanwhile internal organ have been removed to allow storage of a combat frame in a spacially compressed form.

However due to the nature of such compression causing high amounts of heat, said puppet body decays at a faster rate than natural. The compression its self causes a bright white light which when combined with a decaying corpse causing unnerving effects such as bright light emitting from eyes sockets or cracks in the flesh.

Another problem is encounters with people who knew the puppet body when it was still alive, though the Unit has ways around this (Usually violent ways)}}

Ah but thats entering into the grand old discussion of what makes a villain/evil.

If you look at most villains, unless they are suffering from some form of derrangement they they are hardly different from heroes at all. In a lot of cases the only thing seperating them is that heroes have the support of the "law" and in a lot of cases some groups dont even have that to mark them as different from heroes.

[/ QUOTE ]

True take one of my villians Cactus Brawler he's only considered a villian on Earth because he doesn't care about things like property laws, rules of combat etc

Back home on planet Cactus he's considered a great hero who fights against the evil regime that rules the planet on Earth he's a big spikey extra terristial nuisance that belives might makes right and so will steel anything he can unless stopped

BUO on the other hand has no sense of right or wrong merly thinking in terms of mission parameters, so what if during a bank mission thirty plus people are killed to him they are nothing but collateral damage, their deaths in no way hinder or help the mission so he doesn't care to go out of his way to kill or avoid killing them.

I belive some one posted earlyier what makes a villian is indifference, I too agree that differing levels of indifference to others is what makes a villian, because they tend to either not care about others or be obsessed with particular others.

On the one hand a evil because they are villian can be a bit of a joke, but on the other hand I can't stand those villians with the please be sympathetic oh-so-tragic emo-tastic back story which is really the same as a vast proportion of heroes but they turned evil insteed.

Personally I prefer the whole Cable you can go back and change things but in doing so you don't have a future to go back to.

Battle Unit Omega.

The machine stood stock still as its scanners accessed the suitability of adding the nano-plague to its viral weapon.

[Device detected: Nanite sized Techno-arcane fusion. Delivery method: Alchol based refreshments laced with device.]

[Calculating: Tactical Methods of modifying Viral Weapon with these paramateres]

Elsewhere in the disused factory stood the girl, restrained by heavy titanium chain in front of her knelt a battle worn Paragorn Protector.

His helmet shattered his eyes wild he stared at the girl who had barged into a Crey laboratory, killed his squad mates and captured him.

The girl hummed to herself and placed a bag on the floor.

<Suggestion: Maintain current viral weapon configuration.>

Smiling she took a drill out of the bag and approached the Paragon Protector.

He started struggling as ahe drew near

"What the hell are you doing!" he screamed pulling away from the drill bit

"Relax" the girl said her face glowing with pride "This unit merly wants to test your genetype durability levels"

With a small laugh at a job well done she turned on the drill and pushed forward.

((Dunno if I'll be able to do much of anything this week having major connection issues with my ISP))

Location: BUO Viral Weapon Base.

The machine over mind rages as it repaired one of its combat frames. It had encountered the man who had called himself Dr Adnihilo had revealed his true identity Doctor Edward Johnson.

The machine over mind did not regret the needless deaths that occurred during its attempt to provoke Dr Adnihilo but regarded the whole operation as a waste of time and resources, both of which the machine was finding to be lacking as word got out about its project.

The machine had attempted to destroy Doctor Edward Johnson but was defeated why the Doctor had not in turn destroyed the machine, what had stayed his hand the machine did not know, it merely classified it as another defiency of biological constructs.

The Target now identified as Doctor Edward Johnson had told the machine he would always stand against the machine, and that in doing the lords work he was strengthend by God.

As armour plates were removed and shattered circuitry replaced the machine began to planter a counter to Doctor Edward Johnson and his heaven dwelling ally.


Location: The Tuscany Mountains.

The girl trudged through the snow ignoring the cold she was clad in her normal uniform. She had walked several miles in the snow, the snow storm that had settled over the mountains prevented a closer undetected teleport method.

As she walked through the snow her enhancements tracked the distance to her destination.

Her sensor detected the sound of generators in the distance and she hastened her steps, she had nearly arrived.

Before her human eye could detect it her sensors had long since analysed and sensed the large stone building ahead of her.

She walked to a large oak door and rapped with her mechanical arm, the slow measured booms as she struck the door echoed over the howling wind.

She heard muffled voices from behind the door female and elderly.

“Who could be out here at this time of night in this weather?” the old woman muttered moving closer to the door.

A bolt was drawn back and the door swung open.

An elderly woman clad in a nuns simple clothes stood in the doorway as warmth and light spilled out from the door way.

She saw the girl and her face became a picture of motherly concern.

“My dear child what are you doing out here dressed like that? Come in come in” the elderly nun said grasping the girl by her shoulders

“Tell me” the girl asked “Is this the Kindly Sisters Nunnery query?”

The elderly nun nodded not noting how strange the girl spoke.

A metallic hand shot forth bones were broken and a kind life ended.

Behind the girl the snow bulged slightly as machines disabled their cloaking devices and entered the ancient stone nunnery.

The girl smiled the plan was simple cause Doctor Edward Johnsons ally to abandon him by forcing its attention on protecting other followers.

Screams and roar of pulsar fire rose above the howling wind and then only the sound of metallic feet on stone could be heard.

It would be several days before this first act was noticed by then there would be other locations closer to civilisation that had been hit.

The Rage Brought Vengeance

Part 1

Location : Just Outside Whitaker university. Temporary Task Force Head quarters.



The longbow commander scratched his head and sighed, hope of finding anyone alive had been extinguished when psychics had arrived and searched for minds.
The current body count was two thousand three hundred and slowly rising. The state the bodies were in was making identification difficult.

He turned to the other force leaders.

“We found out who the hell did this yet?” he snarled

A man wearing intricately crafted robes replied

“It’s proving to be difficult”

“How about the carved word and the way the bodies were placed we dealing with a ritual of some sort? A demon summoning or something?” the commander asked.

The robed man shook his head

“We’ve detected no evidence of magic other than where the students at the Arcane Studies Section had tried to defend themselves.” He answered

The Commander had seen that area, large scorched marks twisted stone and the lingering scent of brimstone but overall blood. Even the students of magic hadn’t been able to save themselves.

He looked over to a group of assembled scientists

“Any luck in recovering the surveillance footage?” he asked

One of the scientists turned to address him

“None so far Commander” he said

“Whatever took down the cameras blew out the servers that store the visual2 another piped up

A policeman ran in carrying a small optical disk

“We found this!” he exclaimed trying to catch his breath

“What is it?” the commander asked taking the disk

“We found it in the media buildings in one of the recording studios, listen to it” the policeman said

The commander handed it to the assembled scientists, who placed it in a laptop computer.

Playing the disk at first all they got was recordings of a rather mediocre heavy metal band practising.

One of the songs ends abruptly however as if recorded over. The sound of a man whimpering and panting can be heard.

Over and over he prays that they don’t find him.

The sound of a door opening can be heard and the clanging noise of metal footsteps upon the studio floors. The footsteps pause then resume followed by the sound of heavy furniture be moved

“Please please please please don’t kill me” the man begs

The footsteps continue

“Pleaseeee don’t pleaseee have mercy pleassse!” the man was screaming

Then the voice of a young girl speaks

“Emotion: Mercy Has been disabled” she says

“Why are you doing this!” the man screamed

The sound of the man trying to break through the studio door

“We do what we must. Target: You are merely collateral damage” the girl said

The mans attempts and screams became desperate then the tape was filled with wet sounds of meat tearing. Silence followed then the sound of metallic footsteps receding into the distance.

The Commander shook his head and looked at the assembled shocked task force members

“I… I don’t believe a child did all this” he said finally

The robbed man stroked his beard

“What did he mean by ‘they’” he pondered.




Evidence Summary

Death inflicted required inhuman levels of strength, people were literally torn apart.
Reference to the attackers as ‘They’, obviously more than one person

Recording with a child talking.

Small footprint found, upon closer inspection suspect must of weighed or been carrying around 300ib

Large footprint found in solid iron door of Arcane Studies building.

...emergency news report.

The news reporter looks pale and serious.

“We have received news that at half past one mountain time a university was attacked in what is believed to be a ritual based incident. The following is footage from a local news station that, were first on the scene. We warn viewers that the footage can be considered disturbing”

A video clip begins to play, a middle aged female reporter is standing amongst a crowd behind her is large pulsing dome of light. The reporter raises her microphone and begins to speak

“Thanks Hank. Now if you are down town you can’t have failed to notice the large dome of light covering Whitaker university.”

She pauses and smiles

“It seems this is just another prank in a long list pulled by the students. After last years incident with the giant mechanical apes there have been calls for having the university moved away from the town centre.”

The force field flickered and vanished and the crowd began to scream the camera man sword loudly. The news reporter turned let out a cry of

“My god!”

And dropped her microphone.

As the force field flickered and fell its contents became visible to all. A mass pyramid of twisted bodies had been constructed, the uni9versitys once shiny modern buildings of glass and steel were shattered and twisted, everywhere was crimson with drying blood.

A wall that had once greeted visitors with the name on the university had been carved with a message in meter high letters.

The letters spelt the word BETRAYER

People began to run towards the university calling out names of loved ones and then the clip ends as the camera man joins in the search for the survivors.

The news reporter sits silently staring at the camera for a few moments to let the effects of the film clip settle before continuing.

“Currently reports confirm that no survivors have been found, two thousand people have been confirmed dead so far.”

He pauses a moment and rubs his forehead

“A national task force comprising of Longbow, Legacy Chain, FBI, CIA and state police has been set up”
He rubs his forehead again obviously upset at what he has seen

“If your willing to help please contact one of these agencies. We now return you to the scheduled broadcasting for your area”

((Okay this a setup post for the next part of the Rage Born Virus plotline: The Rage Brought Vengance story arc. Shortly will set up a meeting with various evidence and such from the NPC leading the investigation into the incident.))

Location: Warburg: Atop a skyscraper

A large man dressed in military uniform accompanied by a man wearing a surgical mask and trench coat met with a white ((or light blond can’t remember)) hair. The white haired man stood by the side of several large crates.

The machine observed the man who had identified himself as Dr Adnihilo stood beside the machine was the masked figure known to the machine as Rip Fang.

The machine let its disguise fall into a smile and gestured to Rip fang

‘Good Doctor please take a look at the merchandise

As Rip Fang approached the crates the machines sensors flash into life.

>Energy sources detected: Reactions occurring

The crates began to emit a high pitched bleep.

The white haired man smiled

‘Good bye…. Omega’

The crates exploded the man known as Rip Fang dived from the roof.

The machine however did not escape. Waves of radiation and fire engulfed the machine shredding its disguise and shattering vital systems.

It crumpled to the floor

>Frame Seven Critical Damage

The white haired man smiled down at the machine.

The machine spoke its words slowing and speeding up as its damaged voices system sparked.

‘Breath….. deeply betrayer….’

A red mist began to emit from the machines shattered arm

The white haired man muttered an oath and slammed him fist down crumpling metal and sealing the emitters.

>Set Frame Seven Self Destruct mode : One

The machine glowed briefly as its eternal temperature sky rocketed and then smoking fell silent.

Location : Battle Unit Omega operation centre
The girl stood working on a form of device, as she worked she hummed under her breath.

>Frame Seven Critical Damage

The girl howled with inhuman fury as rage consumed her.

>BETRAYER

She slammed her hands down on the table in front of her crushing the metal and sending the device scattering to the floor.

Her project abandoned she stood in communication with the others of the machine.

>Situation: Betrayal

>Reasoning: Biological Constructs: Flawed: Untrustworthy

>Suggestion : DESTROY THEM ALL

The normal toneless communication of the machine took on a more menacing edge as the girls rage infected the rest of the machine overmind

>TARGET: DR ADNIHILO MUST PAY

>DIRECT CONFRONTATION: TACTICLE ASSESMENT: DANGEROUS

>SUGGESTION: HUNT DOWN ALL PREVIOUS AQUAINTANCES OF TARGET: DR ADNIHILO: OPERATION: SILENCE TARGETS

>WEAKEN TARGET: DR ADNIHILO BY SLAYING HIS PREVIOUS AQUAINTANCES

>THEN AT MOMENT: VUNERABILITY SILENCE TARGET

Slowly the rage cooled and the machine mind began to function as normal.

>Situation: Biological constructs have proven untrustworthy

>Suggestion Modify: Viral Weapon: Infect ALL Powered Biological Constructs

Location: A bar room

The machine stood listening to the man known as Rip Fang as he berated the machine over recent events.

Finally the machine spoke

“This unit wonders is any biological construct truely trustworthy. Or do even the front members use this unit to their own advantage query?” it asked
The man known as Rip Fang looked suspiciously at the machine before asking

“Where do you keep the virus?”

The machine stood in silent communication with the machine overmind.

The man known as Rip Fang let a brief look of irritation cross his face.

“I ask again. WHERE do you keep that virus?”

The machine paused before giving its dismissal of his request.

“The location of the virus: Is not a concern of yours: Target.”

Rip Fang looked both surprised and angry

“What was that?”

The machine replied

“The virus is beyond your concern. Biological constructs: unfit.”

Rip Fang paused slightly to regain his composure before saying

“I don’t trust anyone will be safe now that you have it in your hand after that talk. Tell me where you hide it”

He briefly paused before continuing

“We can’t have you doing anything...stupid now, can we?”

The machine replied again with another negative.

“This units mistakes have only occurred through trust: biological constructs.”

The machine overmind came to a decision

>Infect him his use: over

The machine spoke again

“Still you can locate the virus at this location”

The machine sent co-ordinates to Rip fangs communication device.

Rip Fang nodded to the machine

“I will take the virus in my care until you’ve got hold of those thoughts you’re getting”

As he began to walk off the machine said

“Yes embrace the virus.. Hold it within your self”

Rip Fang turned and spoke his voice derisive

“I took the vaccine. I don’t have to fear anything. I took the vaccine Ill search through your whole lab if I have to”

“The vaccine for which build query?” the machine asked

Rip Fang paused and turned to fully face the machine

“You.. rust bucket” he snarled

“And what is your next step to do with this virus hmmmm? Kill all living beings?” he asked

“Kill all beings with powers perhaps. The world would be simpler: lack betrayal.” The machine seemingly mused

“Well, have I betrayed you? No. Do I have powers? Yes? Unless you knock those thoughts out of your robotic brain I will do it myself personally” Rip Fang replied

“Not.... yet but biological constructs may change with chemical demands correct query?” the machine asked

“People lie to get them selves forward, such is the world, live with it.” Rip fang said regaining most of his composure

“Why live with it query? When we have : power: to change this situation query?” the machine asked again

“Because when you say you are gonna kill all being with powers, that includes me. And unfortunaly, I cannot allow that” replied Rip Fang struggling to keep his composure

The machine paused a moment before saying

“It is a small sacrifice. Would you not allow it query? Your name will be remembered as a martyr.”

“SHUT UP!” Rip Fang shouted as he lost his composure

“I’m not going to let a rust bucket kill me off like an animal. If this is what you want to do, so be it. But you’re going through me first” he raged

“That can be arranged. This unit: suggests: you watch what you breathe.” The machine responded coldly

“Oh do you really? Either you give up that virus until your thoughts are clear. Or if you simply deny that you’re duking it out with me, now and I will have no problem shutting you off and throwing you out with the trash” Rip Fang threatened

The machine assumed a battle ready position

“Let us decide your worth.” It said in a cold tone

A crowd had begun to gather drawn by their raised voices and odd attire

“I’m not going to let a old TV kill me off, in battle or through some virus, Oh, and after you. I will likely have to gut the girl too. We cant have you’d live on in her, could we?” Rip Fang raged

The machine briefly scanned the crowd before saying

“This unit :suggests: We vacate to where we can not be disturbed.”

Rip fang also looked round the crowd before saying

“Let Us...”

Location: TLF base training room.

Though the room was usually used for the physical training of new recruits it was now being used for combat.

Where it normally saw two individuals testing each other and learning it now played host to two trying to destroy each other.

Both figures rained blows and moved around with fantastic speed, missed blows obliterated equipment and parts of the room itself.

“You only prolong: Inevitable.” The machine said

“Tell me, how would you like me to take care of the girl when I’m done with you hm?” Rip Fang asked

“The girl is just a component. This unit will continue regardless.” The machine responded

“Will you also continue when I’ve ripped every little wire, every little bit of you to shreds?!” Rip Fang asked his movements obscured by his powers

Sensors blazing and processors accessing the situation the machine replied

“That is beyond: your abilities: biological construct.”

From the shadows came Rip fangs voice

“We shall see.”

The figure of Rip Fang would attack the machine with several swift blows before obscuring himself again. The machine for its part seemed to be weathering the blows and awaiting the chance to counter attack.

That chance came, a blow thrown slightly to hard ment Rip Fang was overstretched for a second and in that second the machine grasped his arm in a vice like grip.

“Is that all you can do query? Is that the limit of your power? the finality of your intelligence query?” it asked

Rip Fang struggled to get free as he raged

“Intelligence? Don’t you DARE talk about realty intelligence to me you fool. It ends now”

Breaking free he resumed his attack, the machine also began to attack. Rip Fang changed tactics seeing the speed of the machine.

Instead of constant assaults he would need to focus on one part of the machine to break through its armour

Focusing on one point he resumed his attacks.

>Increase Speed: Match target

The machine its processor focused on tracking Rip Fang didn’t detect this change of tactics and finally with a shower of sparks one of Rip Fangs blades bit deeply into the machine disabling it.

>Target: Has Defeated Frame Eight. Target Must Now Be Obeyed.

Aiming a swift kick at the machines head Rip Fang demanded

“Tell me where that virus is!”

The machine hearing his command sent the correct co-ordinates before saying.

“This.... unit must comply”

((Gah that A, took longer than I thought to write up and B, got delayed due to some stuff and such.))

((Warning big post incoming))

((Will update with Fridays events from BUOs point of view. Tomorrow after work))

A bit more info is needed to find a RP SG to be honest for example Hero or villian side?

And what do you RP as? Some groups prefer anti-heroes for example.

The machines comunicated silently.

>He is Target Status : Ally this unit should assist

>Negative: Target :TRACOR Benifactors:Unknown

>Confrontation: May Leed to damage to viral production systems

>Correct. Sugestion: subterfuge

>Appear to assist until Operation: Threatened

The large metal frame of BUO began to talk its voice, cold and lifeless.

"Target: TRACOR provide more data on Group: Paragon Protectors"

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, it actually seems kinda unfair. Even police officers may kill in self-defense or to protect others. If you always have to hold back because you're afraid you're gonna hurt someone, then you are less likely to win. That gives villains and criminals in general a distinct advantage over us, so actually, Vigilantes are just realistic and should really be more effective than other heroes.

But even with that said, I still believe the no-kill solution is viable when you're a hero. You're supposed to be strong enough to defeat someone without killing them, and I must confess I prefer this solution myself.

[/ QUOTE ]

Police officers are allowed to kill because they serve the public good, were hired to do so, go through training and procedures to help them judge when its okay to kill in the name of the public good.

A vigilante however is not a cop, it doesn't matter what god/demon/radioactive goo gave you your powers your still not a person chosen by the public to decide things like when its right to kill some one.

Your not?

Didn't you have people like Sorche in your ranks?

A litte trigger happy that guy.

Location: Battle Unit Omegas Current Base.

Despite its shabby exterior the warehouse is still in use, as you travel through twisting run down corridors you enter the heart of the building and witness the transformation.

Almost the entire room is covered in machines all working at various tasks. The remains of the room’s air conditioning have been jury rigged into a system for transferring fluids. A mysterious dark green substance flows through pipes entering various large machines. The hum and whir as the fluid is pumped is almost too much for a normal human to bare.

Despite this several figures are monitoring the progression as they turn to regard the intruder for a moment and resume their task it becomes evident something is strange about them.

In one corner of the room is a large machine that seems to have a different purpose to those interfacing with the fluid.

In front of this stands a little girl and the large armoured form known to the Terra Liberation Front as Battle Unit Omega.

Despite the noise of the pumps the little girl didn’t seem to be bothered. Though she didn’t appear to be speaking her body language and frequent gestures up at the huge machine made it evident that she was in a conversation.

The large machine in the corner was evidently some form of construction rig, in its centre was the half finished form of a gynoid.

As the intruder approached the little girl and BUO turned over the TLF comms they said in union.

“Greetings: Operative”

Personally I like something like

/e raises a hand and makes a little signal $$petsay_all <em ready weapons>

Or as I was going to use as a macro for a private eye

/e hands $target a business card. $$t $target, details of the card.

But yeah you can get some mad stuff going on especially with MMs though you can run out of space to type before you run out of stuff you want to do.

The machine focused its attention on the device. Though it appeared to be little more than a tube with two buttons, its contents were the focus of the machines interest.

The device had been given to it by a cyborg who claimed to be from a future in which the machines plans had come to pass.

The strange doctor had also told the machine that, the future he represented would no longer happen. Remnants of the masters of the world had constructed another device, a free thinking machine and sent it back in time to prevent Battle Unit Omega from accomplishing its task.

>The data seems convincing.

>Biological entities often provide data: untrue

>Advantage to Target gained by untruth query?

>Unknown

The machine continued to focus its attention on the device.

>If the data is true operation: success

>If the data is true: new force: unknown seeks prevention of success

Elsewhere the girl sat overseeing the work of her protection frames, machines that she had taken to calling her brothers.

The machines moved heavy pieces of machinery into place as smaller drones wired them into place. Once complete the large machine would be able to grow the viral weapon at an extreme rate.

She looked up as new information arrived and alerted the main processors f the Unit.

>We have a new communication from a potential source: delivery system

The machine focused its attention on the email.

>Location: Warburg

>Reasoning: Ease of delivery system transport.

>Target: Makes a point: On cost

>Another slave to money.

>Send Reply

Good Doctor

It is good to hear you are willing to do business.

Your suggestion seems to be a wise one, please inform me when you are capable of meeting.

Do not leave me waiting like the pig descended mud dwelling arms dealers I have met so far.

The machine returned to its study of the data once again.

Soon however it received information from another Terra Liberation Front member of acquisition of a sample that could negate magical defences.

>Sample: Rating: Prime

Target: TRACOR

This unit places itself at your disposal: Please inform when capable of meeting.

The girl hummed softly to herself as she stood over the frame of the machine. As she hummed she worked, modifying the armour of the machine, making it look more human.

The virus was almost ready but now securing a delivery method was required. Hours had been spent calculating the best method for world wide infection. Before finally a plan of action had been decided upon.

Loading the virus into biological warheads and then detonating them in the stratosphere would lead to the virus infecting the water table for months.

To that end the machine had stolen a weather calculation system from Crey Industries, a system that even now was mapping out world wide air flows for major cities.

The girl stopped her humming and changed tools. With her free hand she picked up a large jar containing what looked to be human skin.

The girl had tried to purchase the weapons her self but strangely even merchants of death had moral problems in selling WMDs to a little girl.

Though the machines physical form was being worked on its digital form continued work in many places, part worked still on the virus, part was interfaced with the weather system, the final part was sending invitations to various arms dealers.

‘Good morning/day/afternoon

I am General Bertram Uylise Osmand leader of the country of Zswala. I am coming to the Rogue Islands to outfit my army and am requiring the following weapons.

((Various tanks, infantry weapons, jeeps and such in a list))
Grade Four Biological Delivery Systems
((more military hardware, maybe a submarine or two, oh yeah mehanised infantry with rocket packs))

I will be visiting various of your establishments on my trip round the islands.

Zswala is a very rich country in both diamonds and gold I am sure we can come to an agreement yes?

Yours

His eternal divinity General Bertram Uylise Osmand, grand leader of Zswala’

As the girl worked on modifying the machines frame to look more human, the machines mind worked on creating a virtual idenity for the fictious general.
