I can feel it all.

My name is Fernández. I am currently deep underground in a Bunker in the city of Libertad.

It is a large city in the south of the land of Buena Vida, which was a fairly nice place until the war.

The city is under siege, and I am hiding my family and several refuges here so the Gobaku army doesn't slaughter us.

My wings are wide, and one day I will fly away with my family.

There are thirteen of us in this bunker. Amongst all the other folks nestled here are my wife, and son.

Right now I am playing Poker with three of the other refuges.

Walsh is a former criminal, he won't say what it is that he did, but he's pretty much a drunk.

Bedlam is a mercenary. He's very grumpy because his little sister is out in the city somewhere, and he really wants to go find her. I can't blame him for being so antsy most of the time.

Dalaert is a construction worker. He's somewhat famous around the city because he held a snapped cable in place long enough so the metal beams didn't smash a bus of kids.

I'm the wild card. A father. Nothing interesting, but I do know something about these three. Something I know and feel in my heart. Something dangerous if they knew that I knew.

We have weapons and supplies for a long time. We can defend ourselves, and the doors are more than just locked. It would be extremely hard to find this place, much less get inside. However, one or two mistakes and this place would be completely wrecked. I've heard some awful things about the Gobakus' treatment of humans.

As for what I know, let's not think about it right now. I've been waiting for a hand like this all night, to be honest. I think it's about time to try and win with a three of a kind, isn't it?

I try to carefully watch more than just Walsh, got to keep an eye out for my wife and son, you know. I'll keep it in mind, though.

I discard the card, and wait for the new one. It takes me a moment, of course, because my right hand is busy, as you can clearly see.

The pot doesn't matter, and it's about to mean a whole lot less. I guess it's about time I share what I know.

I got all three of these people into this more private card game because all three of them are Gobaku. I am a technopath, I can sense machines, robots, et cetera. Also referred to as Cyber Affinity.

This time, I'll be the one to hold the gun.

I know more than I knew before.

It is because of them that this bunker is already compromised. They're dangerous.

I throw down my cards, letting the Ace and Seven of Diamonds I just got fall to the wayside.

The 666 spattered with blood is the symbol of the Gobaku.

I take the second revolver into my left hand and shift to stand up.

They stare dumbfounded at the three of a kind. I have a moment to act before they counter-attack. Who should I go for first?

Walsh is drunk, so he'll probably take a moment more to react than the others. Anyways, wait for him to take a sip from his glass to act. That'll give you a few more seconds.

Then stand up and flip the table, hopefully distracting/hitting Bellam. Then shoot Dalaert.

No time to rest, no time to stop.

Did we fight, or did we talk?

Talking has been attempted in the past, but if I survive, politics can come later.

I push the chair I am sitting in completely back and away, and shove the table forward towards Bedlam hard.

Can I shoot two targets at once? Well, here, let me show you instead.

Just one father. Ordinary Captain Fernández Álvarez of the Buena Vida's almost completely disbanded army.

Dalaert barely gets a chance to move, his head sparking as his black blood explodes from his head.

I shot straight through Walsh's hand and his drink, blasting his jaw and throat open. He gurgles and starts slumping through the chair.

Bedlam is not under the table. Cards and chips are flying everywhere.

I drop and start to dodge to my left but Bedlam is more than prepared. He was not lying about his being a mercenary. His left arm is a high powered blaster, and he has formed an energy blade with his right. I am outclassed in both long and short ranged.

My dodging was not enough either, my right arm was caught, I have dropped one of my guns.

I will not let him break me though, only I can break me.

I must act quickly.

It's too late, I already followed the first thought in my head. This is not my usual practice but I really don't have much time. I hurry forward and bait him to use his blade like weapon and I fall away from it and fire a snap shot towards his weapon as I move back. He falls for the second bait, preparing to fire his blaster again.

When his blaster fires, the bullet smashes through it, and it explodes. The moment his arms goes back from the recoil I fire a second bullet into his forehead.

I then shield my eyes and leap backwards and roll across the floor.

A bright, loud boom, amidst a rainbow like arc of blood from his head. In addition to the large amount of black fluid erupting from his backfiring blaster.

What's left of him crashes against the wall with a loud wet thud.

I shoot Walsh and Dalaert in the head again to make sure.

I favor my injured arm, holster my gun in my jeans, and unceremoniously stomp Bedlam's head into the ground.

There is no mistaking a Gobaku's black artificial blood for a human's.

The door shoots open and the nine other humans in the facility slowly walk in. The very tall lady in the jacket is the first one to talk.

"Fernández, you should have talked with everyone else before you pulled such a risky move."

"I couldn't risk telling anyone either," you respond. She seems even more angry now, but she'll cool off.

"OH WOW, ROBOTS," the pudgy balding man-boy states, which is almost offensive to all of humankind in this room, but he's an inventor, this gives him more toys to play with, which could help us in the end.

My son breaks away from my wife and he attacks my leg with a hug. I lower down and hold him. "Are you okay, Daddy?"

"I'm fine, I had to do it to protect you. I love you, and your mom. I love you more and more."

I looked down at my son's wide eyed face. The naive boy filled with joy as I hold him. My wife did not have the same joy, I can see the fear on her.

It was right then that I decided that I didn't know what I knew before.

Now I know I want to win this war.

For my family, for The Flock.

Life is a teacher. You have a very difficult problem, and you finally solve it. You feel so proud that you have solved it, and then are presented with a much harder test branching off of what you just fought so hard to conquer.

That is how I feel right now.

"Less is more," is by all accounts a stupid saying to me, and yet that's exactly my issue right now.

When the refuges came and saw the mess hours--days ago (It's hard to tell in the bunker), I felt for a split second. I felt one of them was a robot--A Gobaku.

Now I can't feel anything, they can hide it. I've only seen a couple robots that could do that.

We're never going to be able to fly if we're all killed in our cage. That's exactly what is going to happen if I can't figure this out.

Yeah, I'm wondering that too. Do the gobaku mimic and replace people, or do they simply blend in with others because they look human? You mentioned that this now deceased Bedlam fellow claimed to have a sister, so I gather that makes her either the sister of Bedlam (and Bedlam at some point was replaced), a Gobaku herself, or a complete fabrication.

The Gobaku we saw before were Bioandroids. They can appear completely human. They have families. They have no reason to 'replace' living people, although there have been rare cases of it. Rumor has it that one of the members of the main Gobaku family leading all of them mangled a living person to make one of their children.

So, for the most part, no, but I wouldn't put it past the bastards.

Bleeding everyone is actually a fantastic idea, but how should I go about it? If it's too suspicious, it could put someone in danger if they understand beforehand.

It's pretty hard to think with Imor playing his guitar and singing poorly.

Brushfire is such a cute little kid. Her family was slaughtered when the city was invaded, I've been taking care of her alongside my son. Right now she's drawing me pictures.

There goes the Governor walking by. He's a pessimistic mess right now. He tried peace talks so hard before the war started, but the Gobaku would not be swayed. He came to the city to warn the public, but they invaded right after his plane landed and he was on the way to his speech. My wife recognized him and grabbed him when we were about to go down into the bunker. Barely saved his life.

I was just thinking we have everyone stand in one room and do it. But I guess if the Gobaku is strong enough they might get violent. So instead, approach people one at a time in private. Have them pinprick themselves. If they pass, they should not speak to anyone else about your plan. If they fail... well. You can handle that.

Telling our plan to a potential Gobaku in disguise doesn't sound like a good plan. I think it's better to catch them off guard.

Get yourself something pointy but innocuous enough to have it at hand without raising suspicions. Like a screw driver, a hairpin. Or do like your peeling off an apple (or some piece of fruit) with a small knife.

Then speak with the governor, tell him that you want to discuss something with him. Take him to a more discreet room and "accidentally" trip into him, cutting him with your tool.

If he's not the robot just apologize and move onto the next one.

My arm was bleeding when my arm was injured earlier but I suppose pricking myself in a way is also one of the best ways to handle this.

I take a small piece of glass and embed it into my hand.

I step after the Governor and get his attention. I state that it's been a long time and I haven't told him that it's an honor to be fighting to protect him personally. His sad eyes seem to brighten until the handshake hurts him.

I apologize and explain it must have gotten stuck in my hand during the fight, and that he should go clean it up.

He is a little distraught, but he excuses my 'accidental' injury to him, and he waddles off to clean up his hand.

Who should I check next?

I step over to Brushfire and ask her what she is doing.

"I was drawing a picture of you, Daddy," She says. She's called me that since I started taking care of her.

It's a picture of me, I think standing in front of a burning Gobaku building, with my wife, son, and her next to me.

I ask her for her finger and give her her a small prick at the tip.

Black fluid forms and drips out. I back up a little bit.

She drops her pencil and clutches her picture and just cries. She makes no attempt to move away and just watches me.

I take out my gun just in case. There is a long pause between the two of us, and I ask her simply, "Why did you hide it?"

She begins to explain how she doesn't exactly have a choice how she was made. Her Father was a robot, and her Mother was a human in this town. She was raised here with other humans. When the Gobaku invaded, her Dad tried to stop a soldier from shooting his wife. The soldier shot them both instead.

The building was toppled with her hiding in a cabinet under a counter. I can confirm that part because that's where I found her.

More about the Gobaku?

The now called "Gobaku series," was series 666 of a line of robots and androids. All of them developed what could be called, "Free will," and began turning on their owners.

The resulting heavy laws against robots and the destruction of all series 666 robots moved a powerful group of them led by Hyoukyo Gobaku into a revolt. They converted other robots of all kinds into their human hating army and began the extermination of a war carrying on right now.

The continent above this one is wiped clean of human life and is now the Robots' land and country. My country is just the next step on their genocide.

Now I'm hiding, and have to decide what to do with Brushfire.

No. 212227 ID: 732129

If she has free will, she can choose to not participate in this genocide. How do Model 666's age, anyway? If she's got faculties comparable to a human child's, and if she committed no crime herself, and if there's no way for other Gobakus to suborn her, and if she's willing to take and abide by an oath of non-violence, then you might be able to let her live.

Otherwise you'll have to kill her.

Either way, the leader figures in the bunker need to know. Has the bunker worked out a leadership structure yet?

No. 212228 ID: a594b9

If we're going to let her live... it can't be a secret anymore. You should let the Mayor in on it, at least; he wanted peace. Also, your wife. A small group of trustworthy people need to know... both so they can protect her and make sure she isn't doing anything dangerous.

You have to figure out if she can be traced.

If they can't and you trust her then she can stay. If there is a trace but it can be turned off then you're likely going to have to relocate but she can stay if it's turned off.

If it can't be turned off or you can't trust her then you need to kill her and then relocate. If you let her out then she could be captured and forced to reveal what she knows. Which puts everyone down there at risk.

Assuming she can be programmed of course. By your definition a robot that could not be programmed would no longer be a robot. That's a good definition, because people who can be easily (re)programmed are terribly dangerous.

That really is the question. Is this a war between two groups vying for freedom, or is this a war between the freedom fighters and a bunch of pre-programmed drones? Because in the former situation you can end the war merely by opening trade routes.

Not just by opening trade routes. You'd need to rectify the current "genocide for our own survival" attitude in both Humans and Gobaku. Unfortunately, once a group thinks its survival is tied to a political cause it becomes incredibly tricky to make that group change its mind. Defusing this war with words and trade will likely be impossibly difficult, given the current prevailing Gobaku attitude. So long as significant numbers of para-military Gobaku and Humans believe they need to kill each other to survive, and this war will continue.

She's a liability which can and will kill you in the end. There's too many variables that you can't confirm; Whether she's a sleeper agent with a sob story, Whether the Gobaku can trace her even if she won't intentionally sell you out, Whether her story is true but carefully constructed for the purpose of sniffing you guys out anyway.

Unless your tinkerer can open her up and confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt the validity of anything, you are putting everyone in danger by keeping her here.

The ONLY thing working in her favor is the fact the Gobaku haven't killed you yet, which may mean they still don't know where you are. If she could be traced, the other three feasibly could have been traced as well. That would mean you're compromised and have been compromised for quite awhile, in which case killing the girl is for nothing.

The Gobaku regardless of the situation aren't to be trusted in the slightest. Give her a clean, quick execution.

Alright, before the serious issue, let me explain something as simply as possible because it's not something I myself know that much about.

There are multiple classifications of robots.

Most kinds cannot even reproduce with each other.

Junk Poorly constructed basic robots composed of simple machines, spare parts, or garbage.
Obsolete Vaguely humanoid usually. Essentially the predecessor of Androids before technology advanced to look convincing enough to pass off as a person.
Machina Functional robots who were not built to look human at all. Often were built for factories or physical tasks. The more recent Machina were built as living weapons, like a walking talking tank.
Android Look close enough to people, but often have features that give them away. Were the first basic form of Robot that could reproduce with other robots as a basic function. They are not compatible with anything other than other Androids, or Bioandroids, generally.
Bioandroid Almost always look identical to flesh and blood creatures of whatever race they were designed to be. Sexually compatible with androids and people. The most advanced form of robots, and the easiest to infiltrate communities. These are what I have been dealing with for the most part.

Okay then?

The Gobaku rebelled in every form one could consider, generally. Some of them refused their work, some turned on their own armies.

The human response wasn't the best either, but it's too little, too late now. The damage is done, and what's left of the humans is scarce and being hunted down to extinction.

This girl has done nothing wrong, it would be awful to kill her after what she's already suffered from humans and the Gobaku alike. I will watch her carefully and execute her if i must.

There was no doubt the other three were conspiring. They were communicating with each other in secret over how to take care of us safely. They did not know I could sense their communications, though.

Brushfire has only displayed signs of robotic communications once, and it was out of fear when she found I killed the other robots. I'm pretty sure she was just considering she would be killed if she was found out.

My thoughts are suddenly jostled and sent aside as the structure itself begins to quake. I can hear explosions, and I can sense a lot of robotic chatter. I also can feel a beacon of a signal coming from somewhere else in the structure, but it's not a robot.

Brushfire falls against my legs and cries out in surprise and fright, Imor falls off his stool and his guitar slides out of his grip. I take hold of the door for some stability.

Someone else in this bunker is notifying the Gobaku where we are with a communication device.

That person, from what I can feel, is not a robot. It is a human.

Fukken traitors! I guess you can't interfere with the signal, right? If it's not too late, hurry and try to trace it, maybe you still have time to apprehend the traitor before it gives all the coordinates.


If it's too late, take Brushfire with your family for safety. Confort her, let her know that you trust her, we don't want her to do something stupid like running away in the worst possible moment.

The Governor probably went to the kitchen. The inventor and the scientist are most likely in the Lab in the bottom floor. There is a lot to do right now. The explosions are the Gobaku making their way down here. Finding the traitor quickly is a priority, so would be notifying everyone else about the escape paths that were installed. There are three paths. Two of them explode and collapse once a certain weight is reached or a distance traveled, one of them is inert until it is activated. Preferably after we escape so we cannot be followed.

I need to get my wife and son out of there as fast as possible.

I don't know who would be in the game room.

My family is sleeping in the Beds, as well as I don't know who else.

The Governor is likely eating in the kitchen.

The scientist and The inventor are in the labs. Anyone or anywhere else I'm not sure about except me, Imor and Brushfire in the Lobby.

The soldiers will be coming in here, but I'd say I have about 15-20 minutes until they make it down.
>>
No. 212830 ID: 857074

Tell Imor to run to the escape paths, then get Brushfire and take her to the Beds. Your family is priority, so tell them to take Brushfire (and anyone else in Beds) to go to the escape exits.

Go to the kitchen afterwards, and tell the bad news to the major, and ask him to help you gathering the rest of the survivors. He's a charismatic man and people will listen to him.

I first go to the bedrooms, my son and wife are resting, so I wake them up. I inform them that I want them to quietly, and carefully grab something to eat and prepare to exit the "correct" exit out, and to blow the tube if anyone following them doesn't speak the "password."

This seems the best way to guarantee their safety, sans Brushfire being a monster, but I feel like I can trust her. I still can't completely shake the daughter like feeling she gives off, despite what I know about her now.

I then exit the bedroom and across the hall towards the Cafeteria, I can see the Governor stuffing his face filled with food and drinks.

Ogorn, a follower of the moon cult from Mingxia is limping away from the bathroom. She is very sickly, and has to use her staff to walk. I worry that she might die soon, which is a pity because she is a healer.

"Hey, Governor Singer. I and a few others have asked you to stop gorging yourself, we have a limited supply of food and drinks and you act like you're dying every time you come in here."

"I-I'm sorry, I'm just so hungry and depressed, I'm pretty sure we're going to die soon anyway, did you hear the quaking?"

I do not tell the Governor or anyone else about the escape, or how to escape. I have already taken a risk with Brushfire, and I want my family to be given a head start.

I confront Ogorn calmly and ask what she is doing. She says that she is hurting, and coughing up some blood. She shakes as she speaks to me. She coughs while following me and spatters blood lightly on her hand.

I check out the bathroom. It is completely clean. No bomb, no electronics.

While I am checking out the bathroom I do notice that someone has strolled across the hall and went down into the lower levels of the bunker.

Ogorn doesn't look like she's going to be able to run very fast when the robots come. If you want her to have a chance of surviving and you trust her, you should give her a head start too. Be subtle, tell her to be around the escape exit.

I quietly explain to Ogorn the information she needs as well as the safe word(s) to follow after my family without getting her killed, or trapping anyone else that is going to escape with them. I then assist her getting into the wardrobe to ensure nobody notices her doing so.

This has cost me a moment, however, and I hurry to the stares. Rascal is struggling and about to fall backwards down the stares with a barrel. I grab hold of the barrel and help her stabilize herself.

"Oh, thank you Fernández. I was just coming upstairs to show you the final batch was done but Lakeisha barreled down the stairs in a hurry and almost bowled me over," She speaks in a very erratic manner. Her pitches rising and falling as she goes on inconsistently. This is normal as her voice and mannerisms are fairly twitchy. If I had been any slower she might have fallen backwards down the stairs and died. "I-Is something the matter, man. You seem really serious."

To nip it in the bud, Rascal and the other nerd were working on something to help us survive in the basement. It's sort of a surprise so I'll keep it to myself until the time is right.

I help Rascal up from the staircase with her barrel. "Go barricade the front door, use the barrel if you need to. I need to hurry." She starts to stammer something out, but you are already running down the stairs.

You hear Z. Barnes yell, "HELP," or at least most of it. The end of the word is drowned out by a loud gunshot.

Rascal pauses in her movements, frightened and stunned. She starts hurrying down the hall with the barrel.

Rascal and I go way back. I could consider her the closest thing I have to a friend here. I trust her to do the task I just asked her to do but I am worried she might do something dangerous or irrational. I am not stupid and I am pretty sure Z. Barnes was just murdered and she was very close to him.

I slow down at the end of the stairs and I make it to the doorway. I let caution get the best of me and I back up against the wall. I carefully move to peek into the hallway to the Labs.

I quickly pull back, and a good thing because a shotgun blasts a chunk of the wall about where my head just was.

"You're not going to stop me now, Fernández. The Gobaku will be here any second now, and I have the armory. Your revolvers can't take you very far. You've lost."

Caged up, outnumbered, and out gunned. Every ounce of me wants to prove her wrong.

You toss your shirt into the room, lower down and dive afterwards. Lakeisha quick reacts and shoots a round at the shirt, completely ruining your sweaty shirt. You take your chance and tag her shoulder with a bullet.

I don't think Barnes is going to be doing too much with most of his head being used to decorate the laboratory.

Lakeisha is cursing up a storm and reinforcing the Armory door. I don't think she is intending to get revenge.

Judging from the noise upstairs, I would guess the front doors were just knocked in.

The Governor never finishes that cookie.

Rascal gets to live another minute. I sneak past the dying folk to sneak up on the ancient style hunk of metal about to say hello to her with bullets.

I am careful, I blow a good portion of the parts in his head out his optical sensors.

Rascal stands there, "W-what do I d-d-do, Fernández?" She whispers quietly to me, shaking frantically.

I don't have many choices, but the dead hunk of bolts gives three more guns.

I can have Rascal stay with me for a last stand.

"Th-thank you, but I don't want to leave you behind, what about our project?"

I stand there for a minute, sensing every movement of the two murderbots just down the hallway. "Rascal, if I survive long enough I will make the best use of it, but if you don't leave right now there's almost no chance your intelligence will be of any use to anyone. Leave or you'll die."

She sniffles and closes the door slowly. Hopefully she is gone.

Before they can react, try to shoot the stealth machine in the head with your rifle. Then begin retreating to the basement, taking cover around the corners and shooting them. If you get to the basement lab and you survive, you might be able to take the project with you and escape.

If not, you're distracting them away from the escape route anyways, and the basement is a good place for a last stand.

I struggle and pull the revolver up off of my back and lay myself over Barnes. I use all of my adrenaline and willpower to use both hands to steady the rifle. All I have to do is point and fire In the general direction of all of these barrels.

I can hear the footsteps of countless soldiers storming the bunker, but they are too late.

I fucking win this war.

For my son, who is flying away.






I can feel it all, and I regret nothing.

It has been a very frustrating day.

Lord Hyoukyo himself sent me on a retrieval mission. I thought I might be on to something, but this explosion may have set me back many years.

"General, we have found a human in the rubble."

"God damn, someone survived that explosion? We lost at least two regiments."

"Yes, sir. The human traitor. She was inside of an armored cell with a large hoard of weapons. She is heavily injured, but alive."

Bark orders, make everyone busy, yell someone to bring you a coffee. And a cigar. And the human survivor.

One of the soldiers brings me the filthy traitor after a few minutes of me overlooking the rescue teams and the soldiers who were only injured.

"I didn't know about the explosives, but I fulfilled my end of the deal, I led you to the remaining humans. Please help me, I need medical attention. I have done everything I promised."

I do my best to mask my extreme hatred for every cubic millimeter of her entire person, "Where is the boy?"

"You mean Fernández's son? Why would that be important."

"I don't care what you promised, the deal was that I needed the boy. Where is the boy?!"

"I don't know, he was blown up, I guess. I didn't know he was so important to you."

"Without the boy, let me show you how important you are." I roar angrily, and gesture to the soldier.

I step forward as bullets are riddling her body with wet sprays of her blood. I kick her arms out of the way and slowly set my foot down on her torso. She is still breathing, still alive. I nod to the soldier and he backs away.

"You learn a valuable lesson too late. Without the one thing I ordered you to do, you are worthless. Your betraying your own race was meaningless."

I step down, the crunch of her rib cage doesn't allow her to live much longer.

The noise is not as satisfying as her face was right before I sent her off. Unfortunately I have a lot to do because of this royal failure.

Make sure you make her into a cape or something.

I start walking towards my ship. The soldier I was just with runs after me before I can get almost anywhere.

"General, We have taken control of the Capital. The country is now ours. What shall we call it?"

"Buenos Morte."

"Sir, that isn't even proper grammar."

"I know. A broken name for a dead country with a soon to be dead language. They can cry about it later. Report to the first in command below me. I am taking leave on a special mission indefinitely."

"Yes, sir."

Which began a very long journey for several years.

Resurrect soldier. Make her go with you. Force her to listen to showtunes 24/7. Only give her quiet when you give her a task and she's perfectly obedient at it.

My journey was successful. I do not find joy in slaughtering humans, and it's been a long time since I have even shed blood. I do not expect forgiveness, but my mission was not one of war.

The boy had gifts that I was told were essential to the planet. I found him about 20 years after the bunker incident, and abducted him away from what was almost his death.

I leave this mission upon you six.

Please take care of him.

"Wake up, Rinton Álvarez. It's time you left Buenos Morte."

"Now I can feel it."


"Fuck."
