Chapter 7 by Indigo_Incognito Indigo_Incognito

That is the question isn't it?

Muse on your form.

You sigh and turn your PC on, eager for a bit of distraction after the night. You put your headset on and boot up your regular MMO, thinking you could probably go for a bit of an XP grind. Pity you won’t have your fish swo… you blink as a sudden realization comes to you.

You have so far been able to somehow command electrics. What if you could command your computer? What if you could change the GAME?!? You hold your breath and look down when you don’t feel your heart hammering in your chest. That’s right… you don’t even know what this body is.

Breaking away from the computer for a moment, you head to the dresser to look at yourself. Now might be a great point to start figuring out if you are indeed one of the ‘Supers’ that have been appearing all over the world and making a name for themselves.
Such as that dickhead who called himself ‘Captain Koala’.
You groan audibly.

Now that the blue light isn’t filtering out all the colour in the room, you see that you are a Strawberry-Blonde with icy blue eyes, pale skin and pink lips; apparently you won’t even need makeup for that. You tilt your head slightly, enjoying the way your silky hair cascades around your face and over your slender shoulders. You try to judge your height by how tall you stand in the mirror. Slightly shorter that you were earlier… maybe 5’10”?

You smile as you admire yourself, then snap your attention back to the matter of finding out about yourself.

“Sooo… what am I?” you question, not expecting anyone to answer. So you are taken by surprise when someone, or rather something, does.


-You are Advanced Prototype Android model designation Valkyrie Mk.I.-


You gasp in shock, then remember that this voice… was it a voice? It was like you were aware of what it said without hearing it… had actually spoken earlier. During some form of ‘start up’ sequence.

“Um ok. So what is that?” you ask. Gods you hope you’re not going nuts; maybe this is what being schizophrenic is like?


-The Valkyrie Mk.I is a multi-purpose service android designed by Doctor Octavius Hoffstadt. It is designed to fulfil such roles as combat, espionage, entertainment and manual labour. It is made up of a Adamantium skeletal structure and Fibro musculature designed to mimic that of Homo sapiens, and a layer of Poly-membrous human skin replicate. Nano-systems will replicate damaged tissue. The power source is located within the Mk.I’s sternum and can be charged in one of three ways. Solar energy collectors can be used to collect energy and store them within the source, motion from physical activity can also be used. Lastly, within the palm of the android’s hands are charge couplings for direct feed. These couplings can also be used to reverse the feed, directing a current into whatever object is desired.-


You nod reflexively. So in layman’s terms, you have healing abilities and the ability to ‘taze’ opponents. The instructor doesn’t seem done yet, though.


-In addition The Valkyrie Mk.I is equipped with a tactical espionage processor with a wireless range of ten imperial feet. It may also be physically ported to a console by use of an advanced Uni-plug found at the base of the Mk.I’s skull.-


You reach behind your neck to where the plug’s supposed to be and sure enough, feel a panel come loose. You pull out the plug, wincing at the strange sensation. It feels like a rope through your brain is getting dragged out! Holding it before your eyes you see what looks like a collection of tiny blades coming out of a plastic plug. So basically the ability to ‘command’ the things back at the truck lab was in fact some sort of wireless superhack ability. Makes sense.

Going through what you’ve learned so far, you think you must be good for fighting, sneaking and dealing with people. Wow. That would be a first on any of those accounts.


-The Mk.I is also capable-


~Oh gods there’s more.~ You think


-of housing the electro-magnetic stimulus of the Human being’s ‘energy state’, that which Homo sapiens have designated the ‘soul’. The EMS serves as the AI which is housed in a state-of-the-art CPU within the Cranium. For servicing, the Valkyrie Mk.I is able to enter a maintenance mode, in which any damaged parts can be replaced, or parts simply upgraded for more efficiency in a required field.-

-This concludes the basic listing of the capabilities of the Valkyrie Mk.I. We at Stadtscorp. Wish you a pleasant day and hope that your purchase of your new Valkyrie Mk.I multi-purpose android meets your satisfaction.-
