Lock please! We finished it.

IC: Dexter closed the door, and showed Damian a bunch of data he had gathered on his laptop that made no real sense to Damian.

"I was taking a sample of Iota's blood when I noticed that it had a bunch of nanobots in it, and that got me thinking: how exactly do her systems work?"

"What I found out is that Iota's software is mainly composed of two components: the cybernetics inside of her body, and the colony of nanobots that makes up the second skin that covers her body."

"The cybernetics mainly boost her physical and mental capabilities, so there is no real reason for us to have to surgically remove all of it."

"The nanobots, on the other hand, maintain the near-death state her body has been in since her conversion."

"They also are constantly multiplying and adding to their numbers as she sheds them, like we shed small skin particles."

"This is why we can't make skin contact with her: the nanobots, in sufficient numbers, will swarm onto us and, because they are tuned to her genetic code, recognize us as not Iota, and transform us into cyber zombies."

"And even if we could remove the second skin, which is now ingrained into her true skin and is slowly consuming it and replacing her organic skin with the nanobot skin, they would just grow back and resume protecting their host."

"We have the capabilities to surgically remove the mental uplink, which looks like it can be temporarily removed from her spine for upgrading purposes, and maybe even reprogram her to a state similar to her mental state before they did this to her, and possibly negate the threat of the nano-virus...."

"....but the Izumi Fudo you knew isn't coming back."

IC: Dexter slapped him upside the head.

"That's exactly what I said!" he yelled.

"We can take out the uplink, cure her of the nano-virus, and take out some of the mental conditioning they gave her, but we can't give her back her humanity!"

"She's now 80% mechanical, with most of it being her now mechanical skin. We have all of this equipment, and we can't get rid of the endless supply of nanobots in her system!"

Dexter hung his head, then unlocked the van.

"You know what? I wanted to be a doctor at one point of my life..."

He looked back at Damian, his eyes watering.

"But I decided against it, because I couldn't tell someone that we couldn't do anything for their loved one!!!"

He jogged away, hoping to find some sort of solace, either in company, drink, or a combination of the two.

Damian couldn't get that solace.

Zarkus witnessed Dexter shove past him, go to Zarkus's liquor cabinet, and start downing a six-pack of beer one can at a time.

Damian just sat there. his mouth was mid-open. after a short while, he let out the loudest cry of sadness ever.

"NOOOO! Izzy...." He felt that his whole world was gone. He felt an empty space that nothing would fill..Carly, Jack, DJ, nothing. He got out of the van silently, and went to Iota and looked at her. One last chance he would get to look at her. then, he walked away to steps, still wondering wheather or not he should go through with it. he bit his lip. there was still option B...

OOC: Not even close.

IC: The mysterious girl dragged him into the base, or Zarkus's house, depending on your prespective, and flung him onto his old bed. Damian had noticed that her right arm ended in some sort of wicked-looking device. Once he had recovered from being flung onto the bed, he realized that the business end of previously-mentioned arm weapon was in his face, and the device was making a whining sound as it charged up.

"Tell me everything that has happened in the last 24 hours concerning the Arcadia Movement." she demanded.

"Well that's a nice way to say hello to your brother...but OK..." Damian trailed off and then swallowed some spit. "Ok...well....they kidnapped my girfriend Izumi Fudo, turned her into a cyborg slave called AKI Prime Iota, then they kidnapped Yuki, turned HER into an AKI Prime...I don't know what else happened to her...also, I went in and save Izzy...I mean Iota, and we brought her here when Dexter....." he felt the sadness take over. he started weeping. "...he told me that my Izzy is gone..."

OOC?: Vicky goes into battle against the page hider.

"Time to die, you mother-f***ing son of a b****!!!"

She activates her arm cannon and starts blasting the s*** out of the page hider, then dramatically decapitates it with her arm blade.

IC: Vicky suddenly looked at her watch, then looked at Iota, then looked at her watch again.

"Oh s***! I've got 30 seconds!"

Before Damian could ask what was going to happen in 30 seconds, Vicky started to run towards where the surgery was taking place. She activated her arm cannon, selected a weapon, and fired a shot of gloden energy and Iota, who was starting to move a bit. The blast stopped Iota from moving and Iota suddenly convulsed as her mental uplink on her back cracked, shattered, and fizzed until it was a burnt-out cinder.

Iota slumped back onto the table.

Damian was horrified.

Damian looked in horror.

 

He ran up to Vicky and punched her square in the jaw.

"YOU MURDERED HER!!!" he shouted. "YOU ****ing MURDERED HER!!" he ran off and punched the wall, then slumped to the ground in a puddle of tears. "I can't believe my sister killed my best friend...my love..." he just cried his heart out.
