"I don't know if they were being controlled, but they were most certainly being used, I'm sure of that...because when I got back to the base..." "It was a nightmare. The first DAMONs I fought...I could've sworn..." "They called out for me, asking for help-personnel from the lab, fused into the...

"...Not...really...well, no, they're now fairly important. Did you ever wonder how the entire base was destroyed but I got away unharmed?" "Those crystals...saved? me?" "I...like I said, long story." Deep breath. "I managed to deal with the DAMONs and get back to the base. It was already...

"I'm...not even in the mood for fighting, to be honest." "Time to start from the beginning." "Night test. Don't remember the time. Was told to head to a target point, found a weird red crystal and DAMONs. Told to retrieve the crystal, and the base got attacked by more DAMONs."

"...Well, fuck me." Kenneth sighed, sitting back down in the mech's chair. "So from the looks of it, I'm to blame. And I can..." Brief hesitation as he swallowed. "Confidently say that yes, I'm responsible for the destruction of the base and the deaths of everyone inside but it's a bit of a...

"A video?" Kenneth's brows furrowed. "From who? I wasn't aware of anyone recording, and if it was the base it should've been destroyed by the explosion. Actually, now might be a good time to start explaining." As Indigo touches the sphere, the glow flares, erupting into bright green light-only...

"So, you're, uh, detectives...how did you find out about this whole thing? Well, I mean, it's only been a day and the entire base was vaporized, so...." The Carver has been damaged quite severely, missing large chunks from its stock and barrel. The larg- Large green sphere inset into its...

"From the moon. Sure. Better than nothing, I guess." Kenneth sighed, weakly pushing himself out of the chair and standing up. "From the moon? What're you doing here, then?" Kenneth's hand crawled blindly across a console, the sensor alert shutting off. "If you're not my rescue party, then..."

"No, I didn't notice when the entire base blew up around me." Kenneth attempted to deadpan, but there was a hint of something else in his voice. "What do you want? Are you my rescue party or something?" "...Or did they not even bother sending one?" Staaaaare.

"...Directoryyy~?" Kenneth responded, looking up and shielding his eyes. "Kenneth Akeos, Virgola Test Pilot...one..." Harsh greeting, that's for sure. He sure as hell can't expect it to be nice-not after, well, he blew up the entire lab and killed everyone there. "And I'm honestly not a warrior."

Kenneth stirred inside the Virgola's cockpit, awakened by a computerized voice alerting him to an attempted entry into the cockpit. A second alert blared with it, warning of a new contact on the sensors. How did that not wake him earlier? Interestingly, his first instinct is to check the...

Only remnants of the original lab remained. A piece of blasted, scorched concrete. A fragmented metal plate, possibly from a hangar. And up ahead...is that... Virgola Unit One. It'd be surprisingly intact-the chest is damaged, with metal gouged out from the front. In front of it lies its...

"!" Kenneth pulled back on the controls, the Virgola moving to gain distance before, slamming backwards into the crystals surrounding it. Then the explosion. Even with the crystal's protection, the vibrations are felt, resonating through the cockpit, through all of his bones. And then...

"Alright..." "Done with you assholes." Kenneth muttered to himself. "Now time to deal with you." At the appearance of the figure, Kenneth stopped, brushing a hand through his hair. "Wha-why..." Yes, why? Why DAMONs here, why this...guy telling him to...destroy the "source of all evil"...

The DAMON's surprise was not shocking enough to prevent Kenneth from aiming the Carver and blowing away the BullDAMON with a series of point-blank shots. Still... "gh-STOP." He waved his hand around his head again, as if he could simply shoo away the tormenting souls. Regardless of the...

The Virgola turned and dashed backwards off towards the side, heading into a group of ruined buildings to use as cover. The voices... "Get out of my head." He waved a hand around his own head, as if their souls were bugs to be slapped away. "Please stop. I couldn't have saved you if I tried...

"...Oh my god." Kenneth pulled back on the control sticks, the Virgola taking a few uneasy steps backwards before stabilizing. The righteous fury in his veins turned to chilling horror almost immediately. How could he possibly... No, he had to. There was nowhere to run. First, the...

Kenneth hoisted up the Gunnery Carver as a shield, the attacks of the RhinoDAMONs shearing off parts of the barrel and rear butt of the weapon. He screamed, the machine being knocked backwards, but not falling. "Damn you!" In retaliation, a wild swing using the mostly ruined Gunnery Carver...

"...Why..." Kenneth shuddered. What the hell is this nightmare? Why...? This isn't happening. That's stupid-how can people be- A brief hesitation at the controls. "Forgive me..." the words escaped his mouth, less than a breath, before the end of the Gunnery Carver came crashing down upon the...

Kenneth jerked the control sticks back as the Virgola hit the ground. The machine took three steps back, before raising the Gunnery Carver again. But not to fire a beam, no. The large, heavy brick of a weapon is raised above the machine's head, the stocky butt of the Carver pointing downwards...

The Virgola's thrusters fired, and it drifted closer to the base. 2.5 clicks. Kenneth saw the incoming attacks, a veritable storm of them, too. Slightly panicked, he started to jink the machine back and forth midair, barely managing to dodge the RhinoDAMON’s bombardment, flames barely missing...
