"You and these places, sometimes I wonder what goes on in that head of yours when it comes to traveling" Satomi complained, as he cleans the blood off of his hands, and the body of a trooper in front of him. "Keep complaining or you'll just end up like these useless troopers. It says In a harsh manner. The purple light from the genderless figure who had features of both male and female, had came from it.

The purple light was strong enough to show off some of the areas of the lab that they were discovering. The male named satomi wiped his glasses off as well, as it had some sort of blood on them, a sigh has left from him, as if he just wanted to get this whole thing done, and over with.

"Say what are we looking for anyway?" Satomi had asked

"One of the remaining orbs that could possibly power up that ship that we had saw before we got here" Ariata answered, as they were going up the stairs revealing the rest of the lab.

"How are you going to g-" Ariata had cut satomi off, before he could have finished his question.

A sudden noise was heard just down the dark hall, a weird noise, a noise of a windigo, it was close to a windigo. Satomi took a gulp, and both of them hadn't move from their spot, as a skinny, tall, and hairless creature had shown it self from the darkness, and entered towards the purple light.

Before it could charge after satomi an arrow had appeared beneath the creature pointing towards the glass window showing the outside of the lab, the arrow had glowed brightish purple, and launched the creature into the glass window, the ray of light revealed the hall way that they were in, and a red glow had spotted by satomi.

"This is it" He says.

Noting the individual he glared, "We shall talk later whelp." he sneered quietly indicating he was to go, "I have more pressing matters like this press conference your employment shall be decided on later." turning away he took a long breath wrapping himself in his overcoat as he shivered, "Fucking weather, let's get this over with."

As everyone began to arrive to this metaphorical cattle market, the CEO approached the podium and waited for all to take their places, after a few minutes as everyone found their places, he began with his speech on the lectern, "I imagine many of you are wondering why I brought you here or well you all no doubt know. Firstly I must say just because we have not been dedicated in acting on this did not mean we were ignoring it, we just felt addressing the problems of Illumene would be far more productive. Nonetheless you have my most gracious apology." taking a pause he scanned the faces, "Now let's discuss somethings that could perhaps sour this gathering. I did not have those groups arrested they were found with a Class A substance and thus the law enforcement handled it, regarding those leaks we are addressing the irregularities as I speak. Finally, why would we make Bioweapons there is no money in it, the Aschen our benefactors already have suppliers we felt that having a worker who got themselves drunk at public function was just unacceptable."

Eros watching over the crowd he tried to measure the response, "Of course I am more than willing to address any questions addressing these before we move on to the main reason for this conference. Just go ahead and speak up."

Matthew chuckles to himself as Eros walks away and over to the podium. "Ahh that makes this much easier, always better to work for an asshole who wants to live rather than a softy too scared to live..." He says to himself, taking a step back to the side to avoid being near the center of attention. He instead returns to checking around, making sure his soon to be employer isn't already in someones sights.
He casually lets the duffle bag slide to the ground, it lands with a peculiar clinking sound, and rests a hand on the holstered pistol at his side. With his free hand he shades his eyes and scans the crowd, his ocular enhancements dialing on key individuals and running them against facial recognition. If anyone of particular note is out there, he highlights them in with AR and keeps an eye on their proximity to Eros.

Xiaolian frowned, the man was dismissing a number of scandals that people had already blamed LogicRoad for, especially the Elysium drug and it's lack of antidote. Pushing her way through the crowd to the front, phone in hand, the petite woman made judicial use of a few well placed jabs to get to where she wanted to be.

"Mr. Fletcher! Mr. Fletcher! Lisa Zhao with Press Sat news!" She shouted above the crowd in an effort to be heard. "What is the status of LogicRoad's antidote for Elysium and why were criminals found with a Schedule 1 drug?" Xiaolian asked, careful not to really reveal much information about herself or the news agency she supposedly worked for.

Amanda Ereb sat among the crowd gathered for Fletcher's speech. She was flanked by her two bodyguards Shadow-Sabre and Verhasst. The surrounding attendees maintained a respectable distance away from her - and consequently the two menacing supersoldiers. Many of the press would recognize her as the daughter of the billionaire Gabriel Ereb, the director of ErebLife, and heir to Ereb Industries.

Her attention was focused on Fletcher and his honeyed words. He played a big game - a dangerous game. A subtle smile graced her lips. She was used to dangerous games.

"Your denial is noted, Mr. Fletcher." Miss Ereb spoke up. "However, it hardly bears weight. You claim that your company is not responsible for the manufacturing of bioweapons, but there is significant evidence that proves otherwise. Just one example is the Elysium outbreak just last year. Close examination of the drug showed engineering markers specific to LogicRoad. Now, engineering bioweapons is perfectly fine as long as you have the proper licensing and clearance. However, this drug was found in the possession of terrorists. That brings the question... How did they acquire it?"

The five other Alpha Troopers followed Daiyu down the shuttle's ramp. Agares and Verhasst led the group with Simeon, Levi, and Jhon formed the rear guard. Each of them held their anti-matter rifles at the ready while their night-vision and infrared scanners peered through the blizzarding night.

"We should look for any kind of storm shelter or public building" Jhon whispered through the channel, "Somewhere any survivors might have congregated."

"Agreed." Agares responded. "Paia, start searching for any signs of life."

<< Affirmative. >> Paia's electronic voice replied through their helmets. << I will have points of interest pinned in your displays momentarily. >>

"Alright, troopers." Agares continued. "Spread out into three teams and start clearing buildings. Check for bodies, signs of confrontation, and any leads to where the residents might have gone. Meet at the town hall in two hours. Stay alert, watch your corners, and report any contacts."

Matthew scanned over Xiaolian, and then took a picture of her face with his enhancements. He then began running a program to match her to the company she claimed to work for, only to frown when he came back without a match. "Well... someones not who they say they are." He muttered to himself. He highlighted this woman in his AR system as well, and kept a special close eye on her while running another program to trace any footprints or tracks of her to be found on the net. She didn't look especially threatening, but she had lied, and Matthew made it a particular practice with him to ensure he had all the information that might be desired by his employers. Also it was a hobby of his to root out liars and snitches, one he was quite good at.

After her he scanned the next person to talk, and came back with a very interesting biography and history. Her marked her as purple in his AR system, a reminder that she was of particular note and required very careful observation. He also scanned her bodyguards, and after doing so slid his hand to his pistol. Warning flags popped up all over them, marking them with modified genetic markers identifying them as super soldiers. He didn't really listen to what she said, after all that wasn't what he was for, but from that point forward he made sure to keep those two living weapons in his line of sight.

Inwardly he chuckled to himself at Eros Fletchers delima. "That for sure is why I never bothered to go any higher than hired gun. Far too much trouble comes from being the guy on the throne." He said to himself, alone and at ease in the privacy of his own mind.

His eyes seemed to see red as he listened to both of them, it would almost seem if he was a dragon his nostrils would be flaring. Nonetheless he took a breath and first address the journalist, "Well no one said it was Elysium they were discovered with, I do believe it was something incredibly illegal and though they had claimed to have information exposing my Corporation, further research showed they had falsified the data. The police did a thorough investigation on our connection and found no impropriety on our part." with that he nodded giving warm smile, "That being said reason we were not working on any antidote was strictly speaking the Aschen system been uneffected by this epidemic, thus we focused our efforts on curing problems in this system and planet, we recently procured certain plants which may provide promising results in our trials to cure bone cancer."

Shivering due to the cold he wrapped himself tighter in the overcoat, before continuing, "That being said we are one of the number one Pharmaceutical Companies in this sector and operate a huge franchise, so we did realize sooner or later we would be called on. My Board Members thought it best we address this now, and thus I am. As of today..." he paused as he was suddenly interrupted...

"If you allow me Mam, one there is no proof that stood up in court regarding that slanderous claim and secondly Elysium was created by an exiled Aschen, I been informed of this. We would never make such a substance and I am frankly appalled you suggest this, if you have nothing of substance or evidence to back up said claims, I would ask you remain quiet. Because now we are on the main part of this conference and we specifically brought in one person who witnessed and saved someone who was exposed to Elysium, he shall explain what he knows and explain better what our plan is, his descriptions provided us with many facts that would would allow any cure to be concocted. I now introduce Cryoface."

With that he walked from the podium, allowing another to take over.

A hush went over the crowd as the hulking figure of snow and ice made its way out from the abandoned courthouse. Perhaps this would explain why they chose such a day to hold the interview...if so much as left in room temperature, he could very well melt away. In his gigantic hands was a crudely made broadsword, easily as long as a man was tall, with his torso half again that much, not counting the sinuous tail made of progressively smaller snowballs that writhed behind him and offered locomotion much in the manner of a snake. This would be the legendary Cryoface, the two-time chosen of the Ice Lord, and one-time champion of the infamous Gambit's Bar.

He cleared his throat, the deep rumbling sounding like the calving of an iceberg from a mighty glacier, before leaning into the array of microphones. "Ahem. Greetings, flesh-forms. As you have heard, I am indeed the one called Cryoface. Maybe you've seen me before, but if not, I used to work security at Gambit's Bar in Wing City. Some time ago, a woman came in having difficulty controlling her inborn ice magic. I couldn't exactly let her explode. Not only would there be a death on my watch, but even I don't like cleaning up that much blood and ice. Using my Lord-given connections to my creator, I was able to siphon off the excess energy until her madness subsided. Only then was she able to confess that it was this dastardly concoction of Elysium that tried to use her own magic against her. If both of us hadn't been in the right place at the right time, I would be unable to share this story with you.

Elysium is a bane on all of us magic-users. Those who are even the slightest bit taxed by their own power could turn into a walking, ticking time bomb. And if the overflow doesn't do it, the collateral damage just might finish the job on us and whoever's in the radius. Not to mention that it was intended as a weapon of chemical warfare by a genocidal maniac." And here he felt a little mischievous and went off the script. "I come here not to endorse Logic Road or its subordinates, but merely to spread awareness of the evil that is called Elysium. Only by thinking and acting of one mind can this menace be taken off the streets and make it safe to be who you are once again. I hope everyone gathered here heeds these words, because if even one of you does not, who knows who might next make it into headlines for the wrong reasons."

Daiyu pulled her nightvision goggles as she scanned for lifesigns with her cybernetics or heat signatures, nothing registered but the blizzard could be messing with her energy readings. Switching back to nightvision she cocked her head unholstered her rifle and turned off the safety, "Agares and Simeons you are with me. I performed a quick run-down of location, but due to the climate I may be encountering interference of magnetic nature. About 80 kliks from here I felt a faint unknown reading, I imagine that is the anomaly. Otherwise there is no life signs." with that she turned to both of them, "I have a feeling because most of sophisicated equipment could malfunction in this blizzard and my inner sensors while responsive should not be exposed to such extreme conditions." pausing she went on, "About 500 kliks in Northward direction there is a City with a sizable population known as Northlight, it's unlikely they been effected by whatever is here, but we should only go there if completely necessary."

With that she started walking her rifle gripped in metallic chrome hands, "Move it men, the sooner we are out of this blizzard sooner we can form a base camp and try find any new data pertaining our destination. Once the Blizzard cleared I'll head to records with the group and try patch my way into their system."

Xiaolian frowned, that was a non answer and maybe even blatant denial of things if she ever heard them. Stepping aside, she allowed other people to ask other questions. 'This really is strange... why.. would he act like that if Logic Road didn't already have a stake in what happened with Elysium.' She thought to herself. The Council would definitely be interested to hear about this one once she got back. Eros was playing a dangerous game, and so far he hadn't been caught, but things could change.

However, it would take some time to acquire the personnel and the resources to get to the bottom of this and potentially stop the flow of whatever this stuff was into the black market. Just because Eros denied it, didn't mean it wasn't a real threat. After all, they'd already had one so called security breach, and Xiaolian bet there'd be another before the year was over. It seemed to her that this man operated his company under the premise that any publicity, good or bad, was good for the company.

Turning her attention back to the steps and the podium, she took notice of the huge ice creature dwarfing everyone surrounding it. "Holy shit..." She muttered snapping a few photos with her phone, then switching to video as it began to talk.

"Alright," Agares acknowledged Daiyu. "Lets make that our target. I'll check buildings on the way there. Daiyu, take point. Simeon, maintain rear guard."

Agares and the rookie trudged through the building snow as they followed Daiyu. Their boots were eerily silent as they left their visible trails. Agares would occasionally duck into an abandoned house and make a quick sweep of the premises. His watchful eyes, enhanced by the complex readout in his helmet provided by Paia's sensors, searched for any signs of a struggle or evacuation. He looked for tossed furniture, raided pantries, and anything that signified a quick exit for the occupants. Upon completing his search, Agares leaped through an open window on the higher floor and landed in a roll - if not on his feet - before repeating the process for the next building. Sonar, radar, infrared, and nightvision scanners combined with his enhanced dexterity made each search swift and efficient.

Meanwhile, Simeon followed closely behind Daiyu. He would take glances at his captain's effortless display of acrobatics and parkour. Agares made such superhuman feats appear easy, but Simeon knew that despite the augmentations provided by his nanosuit he would likely trip and leave an Alpha-Trooper-shaped impression in the snow. Simeon instead focused his attention on Daiyu and pondered. So far this appeared to be a relatively standard mission for the Alpha Troopers, so why was a specialized operative here? Did she have intel they didn't?

Simeon mulled over these troubling thoughts as he listened to the muffled wind howling against his helmet.

The noise, however faint it may be stirred a faint movement within the abandoned house. Stowed in the attic, in a large wooden crate that was covered in ice and snow something stirred to life.

"Initatiating startup sequence...._"

How the Gynoid found herself in this abandoned structure was anyone's guess. The Aschen Empire had offloaded tons of obsolete technology following the rise of the Imperial Socialists, so perhaps a Cryon purchased her as a slave. Still inside the crate however, they never got to enjoy their new toy.

"Startup complete........... Copyright Graystone Industries OS v3.4 Build 2.... Executing Isomorphic AI Code Bootstrap... Complete!_"

"Accessing Datalink.... Error! Connection refused..... routing secondary functions... complete!"

The Artificial entity began to climb to consciousness through walls upon walls of code, until her eyes slid open, and adjusted to blackness within the crate.

She couldn't move, the intense cryon cold had frozen much of her systems. It would be awhile until they had thawed and began to circulate.

She looked from left to right, there was nothing but silence, save for the faint noises of movement in the distance. Her attuned senses picked up several figures scattered throughout the settlement, and she opened her mouth to scream.

"Hello!" She called out, hoping for a response as her mind continued rebooting, accessing her various systems. She couldn't recall how long she had been shut down like this, but she hoped a rescue would come soon.

As they pad through the harsh ankle deep snow fighting the elements to not be blown their feet. Daiyu sensors picked up a strange signal, "Agares, come here quick, there something I am my sensors just caught." as she waited for him to return, she double-checked, triple-checked just to be sure as she scanned through internal records in her databank. About this time the signal grew stronger just as Agares approached back, "Captain, we may have a problem, I thoroughly checked my databanks and the results come up the same, there is something very bad in these buildings, can't pin point what one. According to histories I have discovered that a Super A.I believed destroyed is on this planet. The records are unclear, but the thing about her is that this once caused terror for all. The name of it is Aiyanna, if you believe EREB Industries could contain this she would be a jump in tech, but all data says attempts to keep her restrained ended in disaster, we could ignore it and just in case destroy the whole town once we are done. I know this seems extreme Captain, but we can't control her all records, even confidental stuff I hacked pretty much said she was a monster." pausing she checked records once more, "Okay this is confusing, apparently there was two of her, Aiyanna-A and Aiyanna. We can't risk what one it is... I say best course is get data we need in records and then destroy this town."

Pausing she cleared her synapsis by injecting heat into the valves, point is staying out here was really screwing with her electronics and cybernetics implants, if she still had sarcasm she may have wished they had been in warmer planet with lots more sun. Now she merely loathed the cold, "Secondary Agares, my next upgrade needs to be complete insulation of my cybernetics."

The weather was quite fearsome, it's harsh wind blows through the air, as snow falls upon the ground more, and more. The young male didn't wear the right dress clothes for this type of weather, but it didn't matter to him, as he can change into different outfits, or maybe his suit.

The male named Imai had lifted his left hand up, and clinched his fist, as a small white ring appeared around his body, as he lowered his left hand. Couple of seconds latter, Imai had appeared to have an all black, and red suit with a helmet on his head, and a pitch black visor. Imai could easily see through the pitch black visor, he had wanted it, so his identity wouldn't get blown away, he always wanted to be a mystery.

Imai was facing the large abandon house, he began to scan for any sort of activities, which there were. He had walked towards the abandon house activating his camo, so he wouldn't be seen. His sniper was attacked on his back. Imai had begun to do a series of searches through the house, he had known that someone was here, and maybe they are still here, but not where he was at the moment.

Giving a winning smirk, Eros watched as Cryoface spoke looks like the Board were right to get him this was certainly positive publicity and the fact this thing was so huge it was impossible to argue with what he said. Surprisingly there was few journalists, the weather had likely put them off, this fucking biting cold was torture, but one must maintain a sense of decorum and charisma for these affairs.

As the being finished speaking, he approached over clapping his hands as he returned to the podium, "Thank you, thank you Mr Cryoface, we at Logicroad take this very seriously and shall begin working on a cure. The data you provided is promising and very encouraging, from what we understand, it appears to heighten magical powers by switching off inner natural defences, of course this is merely a start." now at the podium he watched the figure walk away, thank god that thing was on their side, he would not want to be on the other end of that thing when angry, "As of today, I have my best scientists working on cure, of course a process like this is difficult without any samples and can take a great deal of time, but we are hoping that would not be necessary. If it is required we shall do the tests off the planet, but currently the results are very promising, what little we know is allowing us to construct an anti-toxin or antidote"

Shivering due to blasted cold he went on seeming once more in control, "Just note we are not halting any other operations on the planet, we have a lot to address, a great deal, but outside of any disasters we will continue to work on this issue of Elysium and if anyone can provide any of it so we can perform tests that would be amazing. Note though it is necessary and we do believe within half a year we will have results."

Matthew smiled at Eros' words. 'Sly devil you are, Mr. Fletcher' he thought to himself. He had kept his hand on his gun the entire time Cryoface had been at the podium, and even now he did not relax. As the speech finished and Fletcher took the stage again, Matthew stepped slightly forward to get a better look at Xiaolian, so to scan her face more accurately. As he did so his eyes would shine just slightly, the lenses rotating to zoom in on her better.

'What ever your secrets, Ma'am, I will find them.' He smirked silently to himself, using his net connection to begin searching for her digital footprint. Anywhere she's appeared on a camera, he would find her, and trace her to her origins and, he hoped, deduce her purpose here.

You could say he may be being paranoid, But he'd be quick to correct you. It's not paranoia, it's obsession, an obsession for information.

A sharp ping rung in Shadow-Sabre and Verhasst's helmets as Matthew was highlighted in their visors with a yellow tint. His handgun, along with any other weapons on his person, was tagged with a red glow. Though they made no visible reaction to his presence, the two Alpha Troopers kept a careful watch on the armed man.

<< P.O.I. Identified as "Matthew Tametson" >> a feminine voice spoke into their helmets while flashing a dossier of the man across their screens. << Mercenary. Records show he has been hired by subject Eros Fletcher to act as security at this event. Subject deemed a non-threat. However, caution is advised. >>

Amanda opened her mouth to retort Fletcher's obvious avoidance when Cryoface appeared on the stage. Her eyes widened in academic fascination as she lifted her tablet to take notes. She chewed on the inside of her cheek and wondered about the creature's physiology. What held it together? Was that real snow or was it just an illusion created by its unique cellular structure?

"Cryo?" Shadow-Sabre balked in recognition.

"Oy, Agares." Verhasst spoke to his colleague via their secure network. "Ya know this guy?"

"Affirmative. We worked together on occasion when Mr. Ereb ordered me to guard Gambit's."

"Acknowledged, Daiyu." Agares replied. "Paia, is there any way you can contact and secure the AI? It could prove to be a valuable asset."

<< It is a possibility. However, my records suggest that Aiyanna is far more advanced than I in some ways. I will need to "test the waters", as it were. >>

"Understood." Agares replied. "I trust you will keep the margin of risk in acceptable parameters."

<< Always. >>

"Daiyu, let's maintain our route to the objective." Agares continued on through the blizzard. "Paia will handle Aiyanna. She'll incapacitate the AI until we can sanitize the region if it proves unrecoverable or hostile."

"Alpha unit, this is Beta." Nikolai's accented voice resonated through the channel. "We are detecting a single life reading that was not here before. Permission to investigate?"

"Granted, Verhasst." Agares replied. "Go silent and maintain caution. Seems too convenient they just 'wandered in'."

"Acknowledged."

Meanwhile, on the opposite end of town, Nikolai, Levi, and Jhon started making their way towards the mysterious life signature. Their boots were silent against the snow even as their forms distorted and vanished into the howling blizzard.

-------

The world passed incredibly slowly for Paia. Even as the synapses of Agares's brain fired in the specific sequence required to absorb her reply and confer with his comrade, she expanded her senses outward and looked over the Alpha Troopers.

She saw - and heard - everything they did, but she noticed even more. While the individual soldier looked through their visors and listened through their audio systems, she sensed the collective. It was Paia's job to put the puzzle together and relay the bigger picture. There were more than a few times where her insight had been invaluable to the Alpha Troopers. Paia was their handler - and their guardian angel.

It wasn't just the Alpha Troopers she could see through. What good of an artificial intelligence would she be if she was that limited. Paia was glad that her creators had the insight to not only allow her to interface through Ereb Industries technology, but give her the tools and knowledge to interface through almost any electronic medium. Every camera was her eye, every microphone her ears, and every speaker was her mouth. Her very being was scattered across a million servers across a variety of star systems.

In short, she was designed to be as invulnerable as an AI could be.

Paia partitioned herself with a thought and pulled up all the data she could acquire regarding the Aiyanna projects. It, she surmised, was nearly all of it except for her data specifically. It had taken her awhile to worm her way through the lower-end Aschen administrative systems in order to siphon of bits and bytes of their more restricted files.

Next, she sealed off her partition with the best firewall system she could muster. Paia took the relevant data and pushed it at the back of her mind. Now, for the moment of truth...

Ping.

Ping.

Ping.

"Hello." Paia spoke softly to the apparently frightened Aiyanna. She projected a smile that was warm and almost motherly. "Can you hear me? My name is Paia."

The details Paia managed to acquire, through the limited interfacing with the data systems of the Aschen empire would provide a somewhat murky picture as to what exactly transpired.

The entire Aiyanna program had been decommissioned several months prior, with details being declassified and the Aiyanna units, both scheduled to have their minds wiped and locked out of Aschen systems, and the gynoids that contained the AI Systems dismantled and scrapped.

It seemed a newer, bigger, and better AI was slated to replace them.

---

Aiyanna herself was still trying to access her own body's systems. It seemed that Daniel Graystone couldn't bring himself to scrap what was essentially a daughter to him. So he wiped her mind and sold her to a slave owner.

Her mind had detected the pings, and her communication was brought online, as her eyes darted along the inside of the box. She could move now, first her arms, and then her entire body came under her control as her mind was re-learning how to utilize her body.

"Hello."

Aiyanna's reply came swiftly and confused, cryptic even as the AI's reply was pushed towards Paia.

"A closed system lacks the ability to renew itself. Knowledge alone is a poor primer..."

Aiyanna threw her arm forward, smashing the wooden crate before stumbling forward, tripping awkwardly on her own feet, she planted face first into the floor in a cloud of dust.

She attempted to access the Datalink once more, and the connection was refused, and so her mind turned to Paia. A harmless ping, one after another. The AI Code was fragmented, filling in the blanks. She didn't know who or what she was.

"Intelligence... a mind that burns like a fire." She replied again, before she went completely dark, her mind entering a proverbial autistic mode.
