[b][i]He finds Ginger in the Command Center, who was alerted to a breach in security discovered in his files. He stands up when he sees you, angry, but he lets you speak first.[/i][/b]

-
Me and Sheyen follow Phantom in
-
[b]He simply glares at him[/b] Nothing to say?
-
[b][i]Ginger glares back at you, furious.[/i][/b] "How dare you hack my private information? How can you, of all people, blame me for what I've done?"

Edited by Bardo XCIX: 8/30/2015 7:29:04 PMBECAUSE IT'S WHY YOU DID IT! [b]He shout echoes through the room[/b] You killed Exo, one of our friends... Over what? Because your childish crush didn't work out?
-
[b][i]Ginger laughs. It sounds completely sane, but you can hear the stress and anger in his voice [/i][/b] "You clearly misunderstood what I was saying. My mission, as an Atlas Centurion, is to provide stability to a region in space. Exo was a disgusting blend of advanced technology and primordial magic, and he had to be stopped. I simply completed my objective, and got paid to boot."
-
[b]Phantom's eyes start to flow Crimson red[/b] The only abomination I see is you. You were never really on of us... I understand that now.
-
[b][i]Ginger unholsters his hammer[/i][/b] "Well then you see NOTHING! I have [i]always[/i] been loyal to the team, but the needs of many outweigh the needs of the few. And frankly, August, your experiments are dangerous. Whatever the hell happened yesterday was proof enough of that. If I have to kill you in order for others to live, I will."

Edited by Bardo XCIX: 8/30/2015 8:01:20 PM[b]Phantom's Hard Light Blades on his gauntlets form[/b] I don't think Atlas has the right to decide who dies and who doesn't. And the virus? I didn't even know it existed. For all I know, you were the one who infected me.
-
"I'm insulted that you think I would risk the lives of my friends just to prove a point. I didn't create the virus, and I was just as surprised as you were when you became infected. Atlas has very little to do with this besides my presence here, and my genetic programming. Leave them out of this."

Edited by Bardo XCIX: 8/30/2015 8:07:49 PMAs far as you know. A puppet. That is all you are. A puppet to be used and replaced endlessly. They use you for their agendas, then kill the clone and replace it.
-
[b][i]Ginger laughs, legitimately this time[/i][/b] "You really are -blam!-ing dense, despite your pedigree. You think that Atlas kills off the clones they don't need? If that's so, why didn't they kill me during the Empire's Golden Age? Why didn't they kill me after the Team broke up? They didn't need me then. No, I'm smart enough to know when I'm disposable."
-
How do you know they didn't. They have the power to clone you after every death, personality and all. But with that, also comes the ability to erase what they don't need you to know. You've come back before without your memories. How many times do you think that could happen.
-
"The way the cloned brain works is that it is completely and utterly identical in structure. Memories that are erased simply leave empty spaces in the structure of the brain, and with the slightest hint of remembrance, I achieve total recall. I'm positive that I remember everything, which is more than can be said about you. For all you know, you created the virus, and none of us can prove you wrong."
-
Or so you've been told by Atlas. How do we know Exo wasn't the only one. Maybe your just a tool to eliminate Atlas threats. How do I know... No, how do YOU know.... You didn't kill Zara?

[spoiler]Oh shit....[/spoiler]

[b][i]Ginger instantly swings the hammer in an uppercut, the pulse created by it slams you into the wall behind you[/i][/b] "ENOUGH!"
-
*Minerva turns the corner with her rifle up* "Was it you? All along?"
-
[b][i]He turns to her[/i][/b] "I didn't create the virus Minerva."
-
"I can't believe you. YOU BETRAYED OUR TRUST!"
-
"What the -blam!-? In NO WAY HAVE I BETRAYED YOU!"
-
"YOU KILLED EXO!"
-
"He was dangerous, so I collected a bounty. That's all there is to it."
-
"Dangerous? He was one of us! We've had bounties on our heads before! You've had bounties on your head before! I NEVER TRIED TO KILL YOU!"
-
You feel a huge pistol up against the back of your head. Python's deep voice speaks. "Stand down."

[b]holographic A.I. Felix pops up on your shoulder[/b] "Hi python"
