[u]Of monster and machine[/u]
While the androids were busy researching the dojo it seemed something unexpected was brewing far off in a small city. Reports of unusual machines appearing from seemingly nowhere started to show up and wander the area.
At first the machine lifeforms seemed to be celebrating. It was actually a very pleasant surprise to see the metal beings dancing and parading around. Many seemed kind and participating in the preparation of Easter.
Unfortunately after a few days passed another wave of machines came down and their intentions weren't so pleasant. In only 48 hours after arrival a majority of the machines managed to turn the town into nothing but an urban battleground as they tore through everything. An anomaly appeared on radar with two large energy spikes.
At that point YorHa command gave the order. 13B was to perform an extermination operation with permission to bring any willing to assist in the situation
[spoiler]haven't made profiles yet but two new character will be coming out of this.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]open. Well I put the word easter in it does that count?[/spoiler]

"Hmm..." As the city came into view it was bellowing a thick black smoke. Buildings crumpled, houses torched, nothing seemed off limits for the carnage. While closing in a tower could be seen falling in the distance. "It only took 48 hours for all of this? Just... wow"
-
"Around that time, yes...I find it funny that no-one from the Dojo... Wait. Detecting two signals - Guardian and Mandalorian." ((Referring to Roy's characters.)) "I'm going to hope that they're here to assist, and that these robots can't hack. If they can...that's a dead Guardian."

While she was on coms she began walking over to a group of machines that seemed to have noticed the trio. She brought out her Nyctores and began approaching them. "I'll keep coms open, it shouldn't be much of a distraction"
-
"Agreed...unless Credits will do, as that seems to be the main currency. You can handle it from here, I suppose." [i]17O genuinely sounded exciting, as anyone that knew her would know that she loved watching androids fight against machines. The thrill of combat excited her, and seeing her allies cut down the enemy forces did as well.[/i]
-
13B went with her Type 3 sword and walked over to the crowd. It wasn't too long before it became a flurry of oil and chunks of metal flying through the air as her sword ripped through a majority of the machines. A few took a swing at her but her reaction time was instantaneous. She cut her hand grabbing at an enemy sword then pulled it right out of its hand. She had a hint of a smile as she fought. She enjoyed the feeling of her sword ripping apart what as in front of her. Almost a sadistic pleasure with each swing. She almost didn't even notice the gash on her hand.
-
[i]Olive merely enjoyed watching the onslaught of robots being cut down by 13B in a matter of seconds, as metal and bits flew through the sky. She almost began muttering words of encouragement - even straight-up cheering.[/i] "13B, if I may - spectacular performance! And you have a slight cut on your hand. Should be fine.."
-
"Hmm?" She looked at her hand while her regeneration chip started repairing it. "I didn't even notice. Must have been too exited." She calmed down her high from fighting and started to move on. Deeper into town there was something strange. While some of the machines were still tearing up buildings presumably to harvest resources a large group of them stood in line at a church unmoving. "Operator are you seeing this?"
-
"It's as if they're...going to church. 13B, it's merely a suggestion, but...target the enemies that are still focused on destroying the place. I need to send some reports to Command - the machines here, like Earth, they're...mimicking humanoid behavior." [i]Olive noted, her voice curious as she studied the church and the several machines outside of it. It was as if they were trying to worship, whereas their counterparts were ripping apart the town...[/i]
-
"Very well" 13B continued her carnage on what was nearby. While she did the energy spikes on the map seemed to match in courdinence to inside the church. One hadn't moved for some time but the other seemed to be passing back and forth in the area. "I know this is supposed to be an extermination but it can't be a coincidence that the energy spikes are in there and the robots near it seem to line up."
-
"It's as if they're using the church as any regular human would...a place of worship. Whatever the case is, 13B - we have a mission to complete. Continue on with the destruction of the robots." [i]17O had to let a deep sigh out afterwards, pushing herself to say those words. By ordering 13B, she had done her role - subject the robots to their untimely deaths. The combat unit would be the one to execute them, but it was always the Operator that would issue out the command.[/i] [i]If there was a way around, perhaps even a method of communication...but that would turn both of them into enemies of the only faction that cared for them: YoRHa would send assassins to dispatch both if they aligned themselves with these "peaceful" robots.[/i]
-
"Understood" 13 stood behind the standing robots with her sword drawn cutting through them one by one almost mechanical as they remained in place, hypnotized by what lay inside the building. The closer she got the more she could make out the legs of a humanoid figure staring, gazing at her as she tore through the machines. A pair of black ripped pants and a set of sandals with feet were what could be see along with eyes the had a certain light to them. The tracking on an energy spike was aligned right with where he was. He just stood, watching, waiting while the android attacked.
-
"13B, are you seeing this? Is that...an artificial intelligence of some sort?" [i]The Operator had a hint of worry to her voice, as she studied the present being with an interest and yet, some form of fear as well. She was tempted to ask 13B to cease all combative operations, but if it attacked..[/i] [i]Olive was aware of the "Genesis Incident" - she liked to call it that, where two machines had taken humanoid forms and came into conflict with the somewhat famous 2B and 9S, a battle and scanner unit duo. The first of the two, Adam, wanted to study mankind: he was executed permanently by 2B, while Eve let the network go berserk in some sick form of vengeance. Whatever the case was - 17O was fearful that it would happen here, on Tatakai..[/i]
-
13B began trying to get a reaction from the dormant machines standing in line for answers but they simply stood there. "[u]poor able[/u]" One said. The others began chanting the words repeatedly for some time before going silent for a few seconds. "[u]run[/u]" They began repeating as they fleed as fast as their clunky frames would allow them to. The person walked out from the shadows and stared at his guest. "[i]we have no place to call home. We were simply brought into this world. No cause, nothing but the will to carve ourselves out a part in this land. I believe a country in the north west called it manifest destiny[/i]"
-
"Manifest Destiny...The United States of America," [i]17O muttered to herself, before jumping onto comms.[/i] "13B, I advise attempting negotiations, or at least see why this...intelligence...is bothering to speak to us. I have a bad feeling about this.."
-
"The belief it is their God given right to own the entire continent. Are you trying to say you believe that you should own this land?" While she was talking she quietly had her drone charging a shot if he tried to pull something. "[i]you are correct, there are so many of us machines. I will claim this continent, and give them a home. [/i]" "This place is already populated." "[i]they will have time[/i]"
-
[i]Meanwhile, 17O was on edge, staring upon the machine being and waiting for an opportunity to shout orders. She hated situations like this, but if she had the chance to head in on her own?[/i] [i]She'd take it.[/i]
-
13B smirked and pulled out her spear. "So you want to protect all these machines and create one big safe place for them" She placed it on a machines head seeming to cause a hint of anger on the man's face. "Yet you are more than happy to cut down anyone in the way of that? Are you jealous like Cain? That you don't have that perfect world? Ready to kill Able in order to get your hands on it" She was trying to antagonize the machine leader and it seemed to be working. His face was flush and he looked like he was ready to charge. 13B just waited with the old Blackbox she harvested from the dead android upon her arrival. [u]I might need a data transfer at worse[/u] A message showed up on the screen for the operator. Was she seemed to be planning to set off the spare box and try her best to outrun it as soon as she can get him to run at her.
-
[u]Understood.[/u] [i]That was all that Operator 17O responded with, preparing to transfer 13B's data to YoRHa's command. The information needed to reach the Commander, while 13B would require a new body too.[/i]
-
The so called "Cain" began running after her and took a swing but missed. 13B went to stick the device in the back of his cloak and had the wind kicked out of her with a knee to the gut. She began running trying to gasp for air, then something unexpected happened. He teleported away worrying that the blast would destroy the other machines. ".... he.... took the bomb with... him." She finally takes a deep inhale and sighed. "It probably destroyed him for the moment but he will likely find his way back through the machine network. There was a second one in the church right?"
