Even Maltese are fragile. Death, is what we all share, and makes us even. From birth to death, organism passes many phases of its life. Getting older, and "wiser" as they would say. What point has life if we gather information to loose it upon our death? It's just madness. Honour? Just honey strings. Everyone follows their basic instincts. Kill, or be killed. Whatever the means. Politics? Just a way to confuse and control people. Also to gather them under one flag. War, is what everyone understands. And is forever written in human history.
Deceit
Nomads, both sides lying to each other in order to establish peace. Yet Guards know the truth. The Order, folks with good intentions. Except when a corrupted mind governs them. AI, still a crazed force that needs more resources than human brains. Maybe i'm just bad at explaining my ideas to them.
Experiments
Thousands of slaves from Planet Pittsburgh have been used and dumped in Tau-37' Bermejo Cloud. Hours and hours of practice, debugging, optimizing and watching my robots. All of this in order to move me into a more versatile body with longer lifespan and better control. Something i had taken keen interest over the last few years.
Body
Artificial muscles that regrow when damaged. Neutron power generator. Network, sound, pressure and electro-magnetic array connected directly to my brain. Faraday cage to protect from interferences. Antimagnetic black coating. Sharp metallic claws which regenerate at an atomic level. Diet that consists of raw meat and water. Ability to sharpen the armor with a single thought. Thermo, night, infra, and xray cameras instead of eyes. Sensitive smell perception. Canine teeth to tear meat from living being. Spikes covering the body. Still left with human voice to remember. Everything hidden under Dreadnought class armor.
The new beginning
After waking up i lost the track of time. All the information that flowed into me was almost unbearable. Slight headache followed as i was trying to handle everything at once. One by one muscle, i was learning how to walk again. Becomming a true shadow of myself.
"Now to tell dad."
Family
Dad called me out to have a glass of wine after spending weeks who-knows-where, according to his words. It was evening and a glorious sunset was taking every piece of attention. Once i opened the doors, he was already there, sitting, drinking, with legs on table, enjoying the view. I stepped and he noticed the clicking sound of my feet against the wooden floor. I think he knew something's changed at that point as he didn't move his head to look at me. Making me even more nervous. Once i sat down, i slowly put my legs on the table and at that moment, Dad saw it. He looked at me and pushed the glass of wine towards me. Silence followed. I shook my head to silently refuse his offer. With a subtle voice he told me to drink it and watch the sunset. I opened up after drinking half the glass, and Dad was listening with the most understanding face i ever saw.
Playing like a child
Next day i and took my Rapier to test the new body abilities further. Prenta in Omicron Alpha showed that even -70°C has little to no effect, thanks to my warming coils. 150°C, Vesuvius, colling system was able to handle it. San Remo in Omicron Tau with its hot oceans proved i can handle even deep hot waters under big pressure. La Pieza, with its decreased gravity unveiled i need a small jetpack for better maneuverability in open space. Then i decided to kill something out of pure fun. Planet Carinea, with it's organic poison allowed to me to kill anything in sight. It was pure fun, wildlife had no idea i'm even there. No to mention the amount of bodies that got teared apart by plasma infused claws.
