Now that RG has gone away, SU-01 was finally alone with the female mudokon. Since he started to chase her, now has been the best opportunity to capture her and gain if not respect, at least credibility. He came closer to Hembar, ready to tie her arms together and escort her right to the boss office but as he approached, he took a closer look to her face. Then he froze, his arm half extended towards Hembar. The voice he heard previously in his head was back and much, much louder. It was repeating one thing and one thing only : "Abort". Everytime the voice spoke, the order was executed accordingly, followed almost immediately by the counter-order send by his robotic half. As the voice was getting weaker, it changed its directive. "Play Mission-Zero video log."
The video started to play in SU-01's memory.
He was send to his first Real Condition mission, a few months ago. He was then equipped with a more accurate version of his regular guns. The counter-part was he was carrying less ammunitions, so he has to be as accurate as possible. The target was a small native village, near the Monsaic Lines. He had managed to get past the few watchtowers unnoticed, thanks to his cloak device. He was now hiding behind some trees, locking all the target he could saw before the assault. When he was done, an audio transmission windows opened in his HUD and a Vikker voice said : "Begin the mission". He stormed out of his hiding place and started to shoot everything that came within its range. Every time a mudokon was falling dead, he was repeating again and again : "Target down...target down...". The natives never stood a chance against him. A few warriors tried to stop him but their natives weapons were not a match for him. At the end of the rampage, he was standing in the middle of the now destroyed village. The vikker voice told him : SU-01, Report. He answered, emotionless : "48 target have been killed in 48 shots. Accuracy 100%. No reinforcements have been..." He interrupted himself. He heard a noise behind him. He turned around, scanning the surroundings. He saw the heat signature of what seemed to be a Mudokon survivor. It was hiding behind a piece of wood that once was a wall of a house. He blasted the shelter in a few rounds and stood in front of the terrorized mudokon. It was a female, according to her clothing and the long feathers on her head. He scanned her face. She was crying. He rose one of his gun at her head. A few seconds later, the body of the now lifeless mudokon was laying on the ground. "Headshot". He didn't meant to say that, it was just a pre-scripted taunt. "49 targets have been killed in 49 shots. Accuracy 100%. No reinforcements have been called. Mission successful. Now returning to the base." He turned around and left the village, his armor covered with the blood of his victims.
The video stopped. He found himself in Rupture Farms again, facing Hembar his guns pointed at her. During the video, his main system has crashed, he was now on "emergency manual mode". The voice was now in control but it was no longer just a voice. It was a physical part of him, within this cold, metallic, emotionless body.
He looked at Hembar and said : "Listen. I'm not going to capture you. But soon, this place will be full of chant suppressors orbs, next-gen security cameras, sligs patrols and Odd know what else. You seem to be what they call "a Mudokon terrorist" and I know you'll come back to finish your job. But if our path cross again, I surely won't be able to let you escape. And I don't want it to happen...not anymore..." He lowered his guns turned around and said : The old stockyard is your best escape route if you don't mind facing a few paramites, I can see them. I'll escort you there and then let you go. Now follow me...
please." His voice was no longer cold and robotic. He even said he last word with a pleading tone.
