So this is it.

This is the final stand.

This is what everything in my life has been moving forward towards.

A date with destiny.

Behind these doors lies the man who ordered my existence. The man who thought it would be fun to play God.

The man that I am going to bring down, and with it, this shithole of a corporation that started all this.

Where have I been? Training. Training my -ass- off.

Queenie's been rather loose-lipped with how I 'run' so to speak. She's been instructing me on how to better use my body. Offensive, defensive, movement, strength. Everything. I feel like Hercules in the old myths, but, you know. With more creepy paranormal shit and less cross-dressing for the Gods' amusement.

Yet...despite all that I've learned...how far I've come...

...I can't shake the feeling that the worst has yet to come.

Enough reflecting. It's do or die.

A corporation is not composed of one man. It's a bunch of sleazy money lending stockholders who set this one guy up as a patsy, a lead stooge, the guy who does all the dirty work so they don't have to get blood on their hands. Blood... heh.

Taking out the CEO is great, taking out the director of operations or whatever the guy who actually pushed the button. Just remember unless you stop all the people who helped him get there they'll just start all over again. Like cutting a head off the hydra. The people who actually funded all this, who pooled their money and resources to create... you, you probably can't even find them. Hiding behind financier fronts that protect the identities of the powerful and wealthy and let them invest in shit like this without getting a fleck of blood on their Birkenstocks.

Anyway I think at least a chat is warranted. :3

Just remember, blood isn't always the answer. :/ Sometimes, the answer is cancer. >:)

Oh fuck you broke reality. You fucking bitch. I told you not to kill him. THAT WAS FOR ME TO wait wait no it wasn't.

Seriously though, Xom: not dead. What you did was break the space he was occupying, shattering reality itself such that a reality where said god lived could not exist. I don't know if that makes him dead or not, but I do know that you just punched the equivalent of a nail through the windshield you're living on. Everything's falling apart!

"Xom is a fool who thinks that the Era of Gods can rise again. Life must progress in its own way, our time is long since passed."

If this is reality she's kinda going against what she told us already. So I'd like to think this is inside your own head. I'm guessing if we dive into that fire she's going to take over your body and kill Xom. Question is, will she give it back afterwards?

Fuck it, the worst thing that could happen is you die. Better that than getting slowly driven insane over a period of a few hundred years.

Instead of blindly marching to the tune of her bloodiness, why don't you stop and think back to the event that led to where you are now. With reality ripping apart I have to question whether or not you just stabbed Xom (which seems unlikely, gods of chaos don't just stand still and get impaled). Or whether anything happened but queenie training you for a while. Or hell, even that.

Okay, everything or everyone you ever knew is a fabrication.

Your attempts at revenge against Meta-Glen are unfounded, as meta-glen never existed, Xom, the Red Queen, all of these things are mere variables inserted into a complex simulatory equation.

However, this simulation may have been based on events which happened to your predecessor (ie: whatever you were cloned from) perhaps in order to discover how a certain series of past events unfolded.

"What do you mean, 'true' memories?"

"It's part of the process. We needed to keep your conscious mind busy while we scanned your brain...so we back-up your memories and then wipe them, implant false ones that fit the simulation...and...well when we were done you would have gotten them back. A premature awakening has never happened before, I don't know if you can even -get- them back!"

"Something tells me I wouldn't want them anyways. What is this all for? Who was I cloned from? And above all else, why?!"

"I-I don't know I'm just a low-level tech..."

I give a growl of displeasure, hurling him into the SimTube and locking the restraints around his wrists.

"...b-but I've overheard...things! Y-you're a w-weapon of some kind...meant f-for military applications. I don't know who you were cloned from! I don't even know -what- you were cloned -with!-"

"Well then it sounds like you're as useless as that heap that was your colleague then! Now be a good little human and stay put."

"Wait...you can't just leave me here!"

"Watch me."

"Y-you're mad...you can't just waltz out of here you know! They have contingencies for this sort of thing, ever since-"

I slam the doors shut on the SimTube before he can finish his sentence, grinding the locks back into place. I hear dull thumps as he kicks at the doors, but they're not gonna budge. He'll be fine.

It's air-conditioned, after all.

Right then. Everything that I know is a complete fabricated lie, and I'm in yet another top secret facility. A markedly advanced one at that.

>Hug Syringe, Read Label

They don't really have a label per se. One says "Counter" and the other says "Suppress." There's some fine text on the Counter syringe that says something to the equivalent of "Only use this if you absolutely positively need to."

>Use Counter Syringe on Arm
...I'm not sure I'm all that keen on shooting up some weird chemical without knowing what it is or does - even if it -is- in an Emergency Kit.

For all I know it could be a kill-chem.

they flooded your chamber with suppress before you broke out. so you are full of it. meaning countering it is a good idea.
>>
No. 240917 ID: a594b9

When we broke out someone mentioned suppress, and that we shouldn't have been able to break out because of it. Since there's two syringes, one for counter and the other for suppress... I'm willing to bet the counter reverses the effects of suppress.

It's logical. Use it!
>>
No. 240918 ID: a09a03

If you can, switch off your stomach acid production and empty it. Then, drink the Counter. That way, if it's poison, you can vomit it back up, but you also won't denature it with your stomach acids.

No. 240931 ID: 11b861

Use counter suppress syringe on your thigh. It's the opposite of suppress. They tried to flood you with suppress so that must be what's keeping you down. Use counter to get rid of it.

I take a few minutes to collect my thoughts. The haze that clouds my mind seems to lessen after the injection, instinctual things about my body piercing through the fog, while others still remain swathed in shadow.

It's not long before I can control the tendrils on my back just as well as my arms or legs. It's a little creepy, but for some reason it feels...right.

I also become aware of the fact that a great deal more of my own biology is now under my specific control. Albeit it would take time, but I feel like I could do damn near anything I want with my body.

[Welcome to the Stat Screen!

There are three stats. ATTACK, DEFENSE, and SPEED. You can allocate points from your point pool to these stats to improve that given field, increasing Chloe's effectiveness in that stat. You will gain access to higher point pools the greater the progress in the quest you make, further increasing the amount of points you can put in a given stat. The higher value a stat is, the more effective Chloe is at it. There is one restriction however.

1) You must leave AT LEAST one point in any given stat.

Moving points takes time for Chloe. Points must first be deducted from the stat(s) they are coming from, sent to the point pool, and then finally transferred to the desired stat.

As of right now, you have 5 points total. They have been assigned to a Balanced configuration (2/1/2). You may decide now if you wish to remain in this balanced configuration, or if you wish to customize the Stat Loadout. If you choose the latter, please take it to the Discussion Thread located here: http://quest.lv/kusaba/questdis/res/313873.html

If a consensus cannot be made, the Loadout will automatically default to the Balanced configuration.]

All I can think is to move one point from attack to speed, so you can really motor. Let's just leave it balanced for now.

Do practice shapeshifting, though. Can you take on a different appearance? Not necessarily taking on someone else's shape, but just changing certain of your features?

You'll need a new lab coat, but if you put one on now, you'll just ruin it.

I decide to keep myself relatively balanced, not leaning favorably towards any specific role. I feel a little bit quicker than before. I know it sounds strange but it's like my body is responding faster to what my brain tells it to do.

The large one appears to be a master terminal, with the others being secondary and tertiary consoles to whatever this thing is in the middle of the room. The moment I touch the panel it hums to life, flickering on and displaying a routine boot-up screen followed by what I presume is its normal function.

After some fumbling around, I find out that this appears to be a "Genetic Holo-Sequencer" - basically a glorified microscope almost. It can display genetic strains and cells in impeccable detail, in full three-dimensions. Last access date was...02.15.2209.

That pattern is impossible with a helix. What you have is not DNA.

Interesting. It looks like you were on very good terms with the scientists here.
The room with the tubes had gone unused three years after they finalized your genome, meaning that they discontinued that part of the program no more than two batches after yourself.
The complete lack of any restraints or security measures in the tube means they had no trouble getting you in and weren't expecting trouble getting you out. More than that, you were wearing no control devices and this entire facility is designed around ease of access instead of security.
This all suggests that you were cooperating with them.
