God of the Machines

[Elijah Debs]

Elijah wakes up and pushes the pull out bed back into the couch.

"Out drinking? So early? Well sure....I can accompany you."

Elijah senses that something is wrong, very wrong in the world.

"On second thought I have some things that I need to investigate. Can we go out later?"

[Helen Keller]

The case of the suitcase opens, cold clouds of air releasing from the sides as the top slides open. A girl lays huddle in the suitcase, perfectly placed.

Short black hair and a fragile looking body. Her eyes open, revealing clouded-over light brown eyes. *Am I.. awake?..*

Helen pushes herself up with her arm which feels weak, so she falls forward back into the suitcase. After a few minutes, her limbs regain strength and she pushes herself up. She sways slightly as she stands.

It takes a few minutes before it all comes back to her. Being created, joining the rebellion, being captured. She was in the Ministry of Terror. She had to escape... but how? Last time she had had help, but this time..

Helen closes her eyes again. A second later she opens them, her eyes no longer clouded over. Her pupils grow small and then big and then to normal size again. The cell door was open, what was going on?

She had no time to wait, she had to escape now. Helen quickly makes her way out of the cell and past the others. Her cell must've been computer-operated since none of the others were opened.

["Zero" Americanski]

"If you see her again try to imprison her, then call me." I write down my phone number and hand it to her. "I am not the best computer programmer aroind, but I do know something about it." I walk over to Bassarov and show him the food I left him. "Please, try to eat something."

[TheWyrm]

All of my computer stuff dies.

"S'hit!"

I hide under the bed. I'll bet Zwei has something to do with this. I search for the gun that I bought from Sasha so long ago, and find it. I cling to it, and my shaky hands point it in the general direction of the door in my room.

[Andrew Kasher]

Andrew doesn't know what else to do.

He sends what he saw to Bassarov, Zero, Mischa, and Elijah. He doesn't know how well they will handle a vision, but he tries to make it less painful physically. He has to warn them. He also shows them an image of a boy that he saw in his vision. A sort of nerdy looking boy with blond hair and glasses. A hacker. Andrew doesn't know who that person is, but perhaps they do. That person must survive. He also sends them an image of a girl who appears to be on fire...

Andrew slumps over, unconcious.

[Lady Violet]

I reply telepathically to Dr. Murdock.
"Yes, I can make a public appearance and make certain that the masses are reassured. The Ministry of Health has dispatched teams of doctors to deal with those who may have survived the attacks, and also to treat those in nearby areas who may have radiation poisoning. The government has orders civilians in Moscow, Cyprus, London, and surrounding areas to head to their fallout shelters. I think it would be a comfort to the people if they saw that the goverment was functioning as usual.

I am a little less shocked than before. I feel as though I am better prepared to deal with the situation at hand.

[Cruella De Vil]

I place the number in my purse. "Also I think she muttered something. Cathlin? Catholic? Something like that but it seems she was going to hit him." I said as I sat on a chair. "Shes in the city, I saw her while flying overhead." I said. *Hmmm.....Hope? That girl? She seems dangrous? But then again all pretty faces have a darkside.* I thought

["Zero" Americanski]

I watch the vision passively. In my time I have inflicted much death and suffering, and it doesn't phase me greatly. However the feelings of injustice are just as strong in me as in any other... However my duty is to my love, I must help Bassarov to recover so he can help the world to recover...

"Cruella, if you wish to be of service your fortune could be spent to provide weapons and shelter for the people of this city. I have no doubt that we may be attacked in force soon..."

[Ashen]

Ashen turned suddenly and placed his katana's blade against the neck of the woman that had run out of the cell near him. He moved closer to her, mouth next her ear and blade posed.
"And where do you think you are going, my dear... robot?" He raises an eyebrow. What had a machine been doing in the cell?
"Dn't move now deary, wouldn't want to cut off that little head of yours would we?" He says through a grin.
"Now, what's your number?"

[Raz Nili Ze'ev]

Raz finds her target, and severs her connection to the internet in order to prevent the taint from spreading to her.

[Mikhael Nadyezhda (Mischa)]

"You know, now isn't very good for me either, Elijah. We'll make a rain check."

I start to leave the apartment, and turn around at the doorway.

"And you're welcome back anytime."

I leave, and head towards Zero's. On the way there, I get interrupted by an image. Wyrm! He must survive... Before I can make more much sense of it, it's gone. I pick up the pace to Zero's apartment.

I get there in less than five minutes, and walk in without knocking.

"Did you see what I saw?"

[Cephrien]

Ceph walked up to Ashen and the girl.
"Hey.. leave her alone Ashen... she's new.. so don't hassle her just because she's a machine..." He said as he shoved his sword away from her neck.

[Cruella De Vil]

I smile. "Its already done. I needed ot share my wealth with the less fortunate and so created the Cruella's Shield. One is being established under ground. Its beautiful. As for weapons, you've already seen my basmeent so I can have plenty of that." I said smiling.

[Elijah Debs]

Elijah holds his head in terror and pain as he recieves the images in his mind. He lived through World War I and II, and both were dark times in his life and for humanity.

He shakes his head and steps out the door.


"....Goodbye Mischa....I have to go..."

He begins his search for Andrew, with the hope that it will help him to make sense of the world events.

[Valodya Bassarov]

Bassarov is disturbed by the images. He shoves aside the food that Zero prepared for him and moves towards the door.

"We have to find out what's happening in the world...."
