"So, this Prometheus... Victor has him back at his base, right? Is he like a supercomputer he's been tinkering on?" Okay, she can see the theme naming. Prometheus, the Bound Eagle, it's all connected. She'll have to tease Victor about being such a nerd later. And, more to the point, she might be able to twist his arm into using some of that processing power to help them when they go in to take down Vicki.

Because this is 100% the first time she's heard anything about this Prometheus.[/quote]

"Yes, Prometheus is a supercomputer, but no he's not at Victor's base. He took over the BlackSun megacorporation in order to support and arm me while I carry out my core function. He is also working more closely with AEGIS these days. He's always looking for ways to help me perform my mission better," said Bode.

[quote=@Phoe]She rises up onto her knees. Staring at cakes. At two cakes. This is a test. Suddenly she's seized with a wild desire to scream and smash both of them against a window. That's just what she's gonna do. She moves slowly. She's watching Sabrem. Watching her enemy, waiting for signs of an attack, looking for the moment she needs to jump up and fight and this whole thing will make sense again. Her hand is near the beautiful store bought cake now. Stupid thing. She hasn't eaten a cake in six years. Not about to start now. Her fingers move by themselves.

Quietly, Euna grabs one of the blunted knives fixed to the packaging. She slowly and carefully cuts herself a slice from both cakes, and puts them on a plate. She grabs a fork, sticks it in the slice from the clearly homemade one, and then brings a bit up to her mouth. She closes her eyes as she chews. It's sweet. It's much too sweet.

Sabrem approaches. She's not doing that heavy stomping she does sometimes - that terrifying psychological hammer blow she uses to confuse the sound of her approach. Just an ordinary walk, a walk that's trying [i]so[/i] hard to be ordinary.

She takes an uncertain bite of cake.

"Hnn... the backup cake was. Wise."

[quote=@Balmas]Hmm.

"Like a CEO."

Fuck.

"Fuck."

He sighs, shakes his head vigorously, and sighs again. "So, I'm hoping you have an EMP device somewhere under that PJ top, because I desperately need to wipe a phone about now." [/quote]

"You think that Saraphim respects my privacy out of the goodness of her heart?" said Locker. "I can guess her comlog password cold in under twenty attempts, less if I know what she's been doing recently. Here, bring up the login page," without so much as a blink of hesitation he unseals the jar with your nanites and gives you back your phone, looking over your shoulder.

"But yeah. I do have an EMP grenade as backup," 

[quote=@eldest]She's ready. She's been ready. She really ought to let things be.

But she's really curious.

"Hey! Turbo Knight 2 lady! What's your plan for Mars when you're ruler of the world and stuff?"

"Mars? That pitiful red planet?" said Turbo Knight. "And Sylvanius, the one man outside of my system... You know what!? You're right! Change of plans! Fuck Australia! Lackeys! Turn this satellite around! We're going to blow up Mars instead!"

There was a wide and suppressed groaning from the tech support staff at this declaration.
