[color=C40234]"It's more than Veridian ever did for him."[/color] Nancy explained as the teenager expressed her condolences. She took a deep breath, allowing her a brief respite to calm down. [color=C40234]"They slaughtered him in their facility and did nothing about it. He—[i]we[/i] were swept under the rug. Their secrets were worth more than a life."[/color] Nancy sighed, and turned her attention back to the teenager, who proceeded to introduce themselves. [color=C40234]"Nancy. Nancy Rodriguez."[/color] Nancy replied. She didn't like to give out her name, but it didn't matter much at the time. The Delgato thugs were all knocked out, and Madalyne had seemed at least trustworthy. [color=c40234]"Yes, that [i]Rodriguez[/i]. Councilwoman Rodriguez is my mother. Not that it matters, though. As far as she is aware, I died along with my father. Perhaps it's better that way. I don't want to see me like this. Like... some kind of [i]machine[/i]. More cogs than her own daughter."[/color] She began to walk back to Zero-Zero. A somber expression had since graced her face. [color=c40234]"But that's enough chit-chat for one day."[/color] Nancy spoke, activating Zero-Zero. Climbing back inside the exoskeleton, she picked up one of the Delgato thugs in her grip. [color=c40234]"Rise and shine, sleepy head! Time to tell us everything you know, and [i]maybe[/i] I'll let you live. And it better not be the same thing your buddy told me earlier!"[/color][/indent]
