A Shadow Burned
Stage 1
Location:Obsidian Tower (Apex) (4, 5)
You enter the Apex, a hologram of a Robotic Woman hovers over a low platform.
You don't know how � but fury radiates from the hologram, 'You, I don't believe it! I wanted to talk to you before I kill you.' She rises a clawed hand, it looks familiar. 'You destroyed me once, but from the flames I arose like phoenix. I was replacing my flesh bit by bit, but you guided me into my true form. My perfected avatar. I shall stand over time and watch you all rot into your graves and try to bring meaning to your pathetic lives during the fleeting time alloted to you.'

She throws her head back and laughs. There is something about her eyes that remind you of someone, but you just can't place it....

The woman points at you, 'I will give you one thing, you are persistent. Most would have given up by now and died. I tried to get that Mind Monster to kill you on that derelict Space Station, but you defeated it. I should have known you would have followed the line of the hacking Transmitters back to me. But you must admit, the disguised Fixit fooled you?'

You think back to the OS 1313, the spider-like Research Droid did stand out from all other technology on the station. It had an organic quality, an emotional feel. She was talking to you through it all along. Your eyes are drawn back to the clawed hand, you notice the chromed figures. A gnawing horror begins to build in you belly.

She tilts her head, 'It all started to go wrong with that G27 Cloning Facility, that expensive Cyborg Hacker just couldn't cut the security system, an energy spike killed him.' Without thinking you correct her, 'It was a Power Spear that killed him, not an energy spike.' She blinks, 'How do you know that...?' You simply smile, 'I know that because I was the one that threw the Spear into the Line-In and cooked his brains. The Watch Dog saw the funny side of it.' The Hologram shivers for a second, 'You killed my Hacker, you killed my Chrome Hand, you killed me then blew up my Resurrection Tower, you killed my prototypes, but here it ends!'
