The Prototype

~-Chapter_2-~

Dr. Lucas looked confused at the question. As if it was absurd or that I had already known the answer.

"What do you mean? Like emotion?" he asked. I nodded. "Well, we didn't originally plan for you to have emotion. But we had to use a CPU from another Universe. Which allows emotion. At first we were gonna remove that factor. We decided not to remove it. As you would have free thought which would allow more precise decisions and morality" Dr. Lucas explained.

"If you say so...Sir" I responded, feeling a little better.

As I follows Dr. Lucas I noticed that I haven't been to this part of the facility before.

Ghost somehow picked up on my thoughts and asked for me. "Where are we going?" Ghost asked. "To a hanger of sorts, so Dusk here can meet up with a team. I think he's ready for a simple assignment" Dr. Alex said.

"A assignment? Like what?" Ghost asked. "Taking out a small target of hostiles for example" Dr. Alex responded.

When we got in I saw a few teams of Droids, all looked so..Real, like they were living creatures. Meanwhile I look nowhere near 'alive'.

Most of them looked at me. And at Ghost. "Hey, who are you two?" One of the Droids asked. "I'm a Ghost, and this is Dusk. He's the first Vanguard Unit" Ghost said, speaking for me.

A small group of units walked over. "The Vanguard? Eh?" The leader of the group said. I nodded. "Well, nice to meet ya. I'm Anderson" the leader asked. He reaches his hand out, I took it and shook it before letting go.

"Nice to meet you too" Ghost said. "This here is Moxie, she's the tech expert of the team. And is also a assassin" Anderson said gesturing to a female unit next to him. She waved at me, I waved back. "And here is our team's heavy, Arkus"

Arkus walked over. "Good to see ya kid" he said, smiling. I smiled back. "And this is Jacob. He's the Sniper of the team" Anderson said, gesturing to the last member of the team.

"Nice to meet all of you" Ghost said. "Dusk I'm guessing your a man of few words?" Moxie asked. I nodded.

"Nice, glad to meet someone who would listen more, or it at least would seem like it" Moxie said, smirking a bit before laughing a bit. I smiled.

"And, don't mind Jacob. He doesn't like anyone" Moxie added. "Shut up.." Jacob growled.

"Anyways, we were told we were going to deal with a assignment of sorts" Ghost said. "Aye, we're going after a target in the area. A group of enemies. They are trying to sneak into the base, and probably to try steal and reprogram you" Arkus said. Wait, reprogram me?!

I gulped and shuddered at the thought. "Don't worry though, your safe with us" Arkus assured me, putting his hand on my shoulder. I smiled a little and nodded.

"Also, I have a backup of your memories and personality. So even if that did happen, I could restore you" Ghost said. "Thanks, Ghost" I said, smiling a bit more.

"Oh, and since you got a Ghost. That makes you a Guardian, so here. Take this" Jacob said, taking a cloak off of a crate and he passed it to me.

<And it didn't work AGAIN, so here's the link to the pic of the cloak https://i.etsystatic.com/14182799/r/il/8976f6/2018962635/il_794xN.2018962635_8vin.jpg  >

"Oh! Yeah, because your a Hunter!" Ghost said. I looked at him, confused. "Right you don't-...A Hunter is a Guardian class, which is what you are because you have me with you" Ghost quickly explained. I nodded.

I put the cloak on and it feels soft. "Thank you" I said to Jacob. He didn't respond.

"Also, here. A little gift for you from me" Arkus said and he passed me a revolver-like weapon.
