Disasterous Experiment

SOGP Weapons R&D Complex

"Okay, I'm ready."

Rick looked up at the command station, watching the scientists move about. He looked down at the experimental power armor that was ready to recieve him, it's first subject. He smiled, rare for an SOET.

"Okay, let's begin. First, step into the armor. The technicians down there will help you." Rick stepped into the suit, glad to get his naked feet off that ice cold steel floor. The technicians slowly assembled the armor around him until it was there. He could sense that this thing was really bulky.

"Initiating step two. Compression beginning." The armor quickly compressed, becoming only an inch thick. He could hardly feel the armor as the suit adjusted to his body temperature. He smiled again as the helmet was put on and attached.

"Initiating step three. Synchronization." Rick felt a sharp prick at the back of his head as the suit made a hard link with the implant at the base of his skull. His had been altered from other SOET to accomidate this prototype.

"Initiating step four. Activation." Rick heard a whining noise and suddenly felt an incredible pain at the back of his head. He clutched at his head, not even realizing the suit was the one doing it. He fell to his knees still clutching his head. His body twitched once and he lay still.

"Check his vitals! Quick!" The scientists were frantically trying to ascertain what had gone wrong. A technician went to Rick's armored body and opened a panel. All his vitals had flatlined. He looked back up at the command station. "He's dead."

"Damnit.....okay. We need to get him out of there." The technicians closed the panel and turned the body over. It was fairly heavy and proved to be a difficult task. The facemask was dark, none of the lights were on. One of the technicians reached for the latches holding on the helmet and touched them, ready to lossen them.

Lights snapped on and Rick's hand flew up into the tech's face. The technician died as his skull caved in and he did an impromptu backflip, blood spraying over his fellow techs. The techs scrambled back to a corner, terrified. The body stood up. "Rick! Rick, can you hear us?!" The helmeted head looked in the direction of the command center. "Rick is no more. I am Nemesis."

The scientist cursed and called for troops to deal with the threat. They were too slow, and Nemesis had already slaughtered the two other techs, covering a wall with their remains and blood. Nemesis held up an armored gauntlet, surveying one of the techs' heart. "Such weak things, you humans."

A door slid open and troops poured in. Nemesis quickly counted them. Thirty, all heavily armed. "Freeze! Hand's on your head!" Nemesis shook his head and crouched. He sprang straight up, busting through a vent grating. The troops all crowded around the room and began filling the ceiling with lead.

Inside the command center, the scientists were panicking. What the hell was happening? Why was this thing calling itself Nemesis of all things? A grate launched out of the ceiling, taking a scientist in the top of the head. It stopped about halfway through, and the scientist fell over. Nemesis slowly lowered himself into the room.

The scientists looked at the door, but nemesis was too fast. He ripped a computer bank out of the wall and hurled it at the door, crushing another scientist. Blood seeped out from underneath it.

The lead scientist looked terrified. Nemesis smiled under his helmet. The scientist spoke up. "Why do you call yourself Nemesis? Who are you the Nemesis of?" Nemesis walked up to the scientist. He stroked the scientist's face with one gauntleted hand. "Life." With those words, he swung up his free arm and smashed the scientist's skull between his hands. He then turned to the next scientist, and walked slowly forward.

Five minutes later

The door exploded, dislodging the computer. The soldiers slowly entered the room, looking for their target. After a clean sweep of the room, the reported back that the target was not there. The scientists were, for the most part.

Deep within the complex

Nemesis slowly eased his way out of the grating. He had stopped along the way to download the entire layout of this complex. He was exactly where he wanted to be. He looked at the wall. 'Experimental Melee Weapons'. Nemesis walked through the corridor looking for the main room. All that lit the halls were the flashing emergency lights. This floor had cleared out already. Pity.

He came to the door he was looking for. With a quick movement, he punched the metal door, tearing it out of the wall and hurling it into the room. He walked in and saw what he wanted. Held in place by a clamp in the middle of the room, a single sword glimmered in the red light. It looked almost like blood. He strolled to it and gripped the hilt. He pulled it free of the clamp and tested the weight. The sword hummed slightly when he gripped it. He knew what the hum was. Vibrating at an incredible speed, this blade was supposed to cut through practically everything. He decided to test it on the wall.

He thrust the blade into the wall and carved a circle in it. He kicked his new door and it slid slowly and fell into the next room. He smiled. This sword could do that to a foot of titanium. He could only imagine what it could do to a human.

He heard the thudding of footsteps. He stepped out into the hallway to face his opponents. The soldiers ran into the hallway and stopped. The front row dropped to their knees and the back leveled their weapons.

He dropped to a stance he had calculated would be effective for the situation.

"FIRE! KILL THE FUCKER!" Nemesis took off into the hail of lead, bullets pinging off of his armor. He came upon the soldiers very quickly, and in less than ten seconds it was over. Blood dripped from every surface. He walked over the assortment of body parts and heard a groan. He was stepping on someone. He took his foot off and looked at the single survivor. He had been half cut through at the waist, and Nemesis speculated how he had lived. Oh well. The soldier died painfully.

Nemesis had all he needed. Except for freedom. He began to run towards the exit.

Outside

The tank leveled it's cannon at the only entrance or exit to the complex. The doors opened and the gunner fired. Nemesis was thrown back from the blast and slammed into the wall. He shook his head, the human part of him dazed for a short time. He was lucky the shell had hit the desk he rolled towards the door, or he would have been killed.

Nemesis stood back up and charged the tank before it could fire again. He flew out of the building and ran up the tank, dragging his blade in his wake. The blade cut clean through the top of the turret, killing the commander of the tank. He sprang off the back of the tank and ran into the night.

Searches were sent, but none found him.

Cool RP! I really like it, based on Ninja from Metal Gear Solid? What a cool chracter.

My favourite bit: "The scientist spoke up. "Why do you call yourself Nemesis? Who are you the Nemesis of?" Nemesis walked up to the scientist. He stroked the scientist's face with one gauntleted hand. "Life." With those words, he swung up his free arm and smashed the scientist's skull between his hands."

That got me terribly excited. I'm tagging this if it continues. Good work!

yeah, that's some nice stuff. I did like the explanation of the name, heh. If there's any parts that open up, I might consider it. This seems fairly future tech (though not that far), so you wouldn't mind that, would you?
Morathania
26-07-2004, 02:32
Sounds like a great movie idea you should pitch it to a studio. You could have some guy like Arnold Schwartzenegger in it, hes a little too old though, or Vin Diesel. Really great RP a mix of the supervillan creations from the Spider Man movies and Predator. Very nice.
Sigma Octavus
26-07-2004, 02:33
Yeah, this is modern plus. Roughly around 2015. I just take into consideration that I have very smart people. Somewhere in the 200s in the UN rankings.

I'm going to have Nemesis in quite a few things.
Jordaxia
26-07-2004, 02:39
yes, I seen the Doc ock similarity, intended or not, though the predator one, I didn't see.

I thought it would be kinda modern plus. I have a new power armour design just out as well, you see. Perhaps when this is continued, they might meet? It would be rather interesting, given the unique nature of my armour.
Truitt
26-07-2004, 02:41
Well, I find him a very cool charcter, although you kinda had a simular idea I had for a new character, althoguh it was a new battlesuit, it would be on purpose, and the battlesuit would actually be like the Machurian Candidate (I hope I spelt that right). I geuss I still got two mroe days till I can release it becouse of you :-( j/k

Nice RP and Idea. Not exactly FutureTech, around say 2030? that isn't too far in the future.
Morathania
26-07-2004, 02:43
Well I saw Predator in the sense that he is superhuman and likes killing people and wears a battlesuit, which I think the Predator wore. Well anyway I don't care nice RP.
Truitt
26-07-2004, 02:51
Once agian nice RP, and to Morathania,

Predator was like an alien that did wear a battlesuit, btu he is part of a race that kills for joy or sport, can't remember, all I know is I'm going to go see AVP when it comes out (Alien V Preditor, previews awsome, I gtta see them afetr reading this RP).

Once agian, veyr very nice, you should continue with this ASAP

"This weak body will only hinder me."

He felt the feeling that he knew as hunger from the brain he had taken. He looked at the blood still coating his armor. He decided it was time to wash it off. The smell would likely attract attention after a while. He looked at the river he had stopped at. He knew the limitations of this body, as well as its needs.

He stepped into the water, fully confident that the designers, while human, had made him durable. The rushing water quickly rinsed the gore off of him and he stepped out again. At least this suit was built with the humans needs in mind. A fully functional waste-disposal system was luckily installed, as well as a water purification system. At least he could keep this body going until he could become self-sufficient.

He walked up the hill until he saw his next target. As far as the eye could see, there were lights. The primary plant for SOGP. The massive complex was the size of a large city. He had only basic knowledge of the first floor, all 40 square miles of it. He knew where he had to go. The main security terminal. He began down the hill and started picking up speed. He was going as fast as he could without damaging his current vessel. He quickly reached the border fence and leaped over it. He hit the ground and kept running. He bypassed all security and defenses very quickly without detection.

One final leap and he sailed out into the open. He dropped like a rock, slamming into a roadway twenty feet down. He rolled and got up quickly.

Which direction is it? Ah, there.

He began running in the correct direction, and kept running until he saw lights coming up behind him. He pressed against a wall next to a pillar and waited. The lights turned out to be an automated storage transport. He lept to the side and moved himself inside.

He had been watching the signs flash by until he saw 'Primary Security Terminal'. He got out of the transport and jumped off. He looked around, knowing that stealth would be absolutely imperative for his plans here.

He began towards the terminal slowly. It was very close. He found the building quickly. A large structure, it was heavily defended. He watched the patrols coming and going, as well as the single greatest threat to him here. An WBT-1 was standing guard at the building. That thing would be able to pick up his movement in seconds. The systems in that machine were far more advanced than those in his. He needed an upgrade.

Knowing he would have to take a better approach at this, he backed off and went a different way. After climbing a building near the terminal, he looked at it from a different angle. Using his vessels brain as a processor, he quickly ran the calculations involved for him to jump. He stood and turned around. Counting the meters he walked, he stopped and turned around. He crouched into a starting position and counted down. He took off when he hit zero. The edge was on him near instantly and he jumped, flying across the gap right as the WBT-1 turned away. It picked up movement and pointed towards the sky. Nothing. The pilot within was tired, and thought nothing of it.

Nemesis landed and rolled on the roof of the building. He waited for a few seconds, listening to ascertain if anyone had seen him. Hearing nothing, he went to the nearest entrance to the air conditioning system. He opened it and entered quietly.

Nemesis had no idea where he was going in this building, so he went everywhere, looking through every grate. He eventually found an empty room with a computer. He opened the grate and slid inside. He went to the computer and reached for his interface cord. He plugged it into the computer, and very quickly found a complete detailed map of the entire complex. He unplugged and went back into the vents. He began to study the map and found something he hadn't expected. He went back to crawling through the vents.

One hour, twenty two minutes later

Nemesis lowered himself quietly behind the scientists. They would serve his purpose. They were the only ones that could. "Dr. Romeno." The doctor looked back and his eyes went wide. "You're the escaped SOET test subject. What are you doing here?" Nemesis walked near him till he was looking down at the scientist. "This body. I need a better one."

Romeno looked at him through squinted eyes. "What do you mean?" Nemesis reached for one of the aides that was standing next to Romeno and grabbed him around the neck. He squeezed, crushing the man's neck. "As you can see from this example, the human body is far too frail. I need a better one." Romeno gulped, watching the light fade from the aide's eyes. "Why would you need my help? What could I do?"

Nemesis looked at Romeno again. "You are SOGP's leading robotics engineer. You designed me for the most part. The WBT-1 was your design. I need a body." The scientist understood now. "And why should I do this for you." Nemesis grabbed him around the throat. "If you don't, I'll kill you right here." He looked at the other two aides. "You two stay as well. You know you couldn't run if you wanted to." Romeno was wide eyed. "Okay. I'll do it."

Nemesis released his grip. "Very well. I know where you can get to work."

Five minutes later

Nemesis entered the room after Romeno and the aides. Romeno looked at Nemesis. "Why this room? This is where I developed the WBT-1." Nemesis looked around the room. "There are a large amount of high quality parts in here. Perfect for the new body you will make." Romeno looked at the parts as well. "But I don't have a design."

Nemesis hooked into the main computer in the room and a design popped up on the screen. "I have already made one, all of the parts are in this room. Make it in four days." Romeno looked at the design. "Four days, what about water, food and sleep?" "You will only get as much as is absolutely necessary."

Romeno and his aides went to work after several more questions were answered. Nemesis stood in the middle of the room, sword unsheathed.

Four days later

Nemesis looked over his new body. He plugged into it and found that it was in perfect working condition. Romeno and his aides had done well. They were visibly exhausted and miserable. "Thank you Romeno. This will do." The suit slumped over and stood still. The body on the table stirred, and sat up. It unplugged itself from the armor and got off the table. It went about taking the armor off and pulled out the body within. Nemesis held his old vessel and looked at it. He then threw Rick's body against the wall, where his head split open.

Nemesis stepped into the armor, glad to be rid of that horrible vessel. Once it was done assembling the armor, it initiated a program it had installed on both the armor's systems and the new body's. The body welded itself to the armor in several places, and the connections needed to run the armor were made. The lights in the armor's faceplate lit up. Nemesis stood there, moving his arms and legs, admiring the human's work. "Thank you Romeno. You will no longer be needed." He unsheathed the sword.

Romeno glared at him. "You said we could live." Nemesis laughed, a horrible sound. "That was while I had a use for you. I guess I forgot that part." He walked towards the scientists, blade humming.

Several hours later

Nemesis went through the same routine he had used to get into the complex. He was glad to find that he was much faster with this new body. He made the last jump and ran off into the coming sunset.

Gaara, Sigma Octavus

Nemesis hid inside the building. He listened to the troops firing from outside. He heard the whir of a tank turret and a click. He ducked and lept straight up. The tank fired, and the building exploded in a cloud of debris and smoke. The tank commander scanned the building for any confirmation of their kill.

There was a thud and the sound of gunfire. The commander looked around through the camera ouside the tank until he saw a pair of feet. "Fuck!" He never said anything else as Nemesis' blade came through the top of the tank, taking him in the head. Nemesis jumped high into the air off of the tank and came down right in the middle of the soldiers that had been firing at him. He began to methodically kill them all. Blood flew and soon, all were dead. Nemesis stood there, coated head to foot.

A rumble caused him to look into the sky. A pair of SOF-10 Barricudas were on an attack approach to him. The pair fired off their missiles and flew off. Nemesis looked at the missiles. Self preservation was the first thing on his mind. He turned and began to run. Despite the suit and his robotic body, his speed was nothing compared to a missile's. He ran through the brick wall of a building several stories tall and kept running. The missiles slammed into the wall and detonated. The building lost a large section of it's bottom floor and toppled to the ground.

Nemesis reflected on what he had done. Maybe he shouldn't have decided to slaughter every civilian within a five block radius of his then current hiding place. Especially not in one of the three D-Cities. He was facing quite a lot of military here.

He found a sewer grate and pulled it up. There was a large cloud of dust from the building covering the street, and he was very confident that none had seen his escape.

Inside the sewer, he was getting angry at himself. He had made a really stupid mistake trying to get out of the country here. He needed to get out of the country, he had technology he had to acquire to make himself even deadlier. Every weapons lab in this country was under heavy military lockdown because of him.

Nemesis jerked his head as he saw movement. A human. The person staggered upright. Nemesis could see that the human was bleeding heavily. "You.....fucking monster! You killed them all!" Nemesis looked at this human. A younger human. Nemesis went through his memory and found that he had seen this boy before, but thought that he had killed him. Nemesis walked towards the boy. He raised his sword and swung it down.

BLAM! A shot from a very heavy caliber weapon took him in the shoulder. He spun from the impact, missing the boy by several inches. He looked back. A soldier was aiming at him carrying a large weapon. Nemesis quickly identified the weapon. A GPC-10 Anti-vehicle rifle. Nemesis found that his arm was unresponsive as the round had torn through, damaging the systems underneath. Nemesis ran towards the soldier but took another round to the head. Nemesis' screen went to static and he slumped over into a pipe, sliding into the darkness. The soldier ran to the pipe and shined his light down it. Nothing. He looked at the kid,"Hey, are you okay." The kid sniffled and began to cry. The soldier took the child in his arms and carried him out of the sewer to a medic.

Ten minutes later

The soldier that had rescued the boy was away from the others. He took off the helmet and undermask, revealing long dark hair and red eyes. Dominic Wrathe sat, the weapon next to him. He had been in the nation when that thing had started killing. Dom was wanted for many things in this nation, grand larceny, arson, murder, everything. But he still grew up on the streets here. In this city. That thing was killing his people.

Dominic clenched his teeth. All the blood had almost made him lose it. That thing certainly had never heard of a clean kill. Dom took a blood packet out of his BDU and drank it. Being a vampire had it's perks, and it's flaws. He knew that he could probably match that thing in most ways except for it's sword and armor. And he could hunt it 24/7, having only a slight weakness to sunlight. The full SOMI BDU helped a lot. He stood up, slinging the rifle over his shoulder, and walked out.


Deep in the darkness, a light flickered on.

This was one of the things that Nemesis had included in his plans. A small drone that had been built by his body came out of a hatch in the small of his back. It began to repair all damaged systems. He would be down here for a while.
