Cole Genesone Industries (11/24.22)

 A pretty decent boom shakes Violet's house

"What in the-?!"

Violet steps outside to see what is going on

In a small crater there's what looks to be a shot up and burned up chunk of the back of something, it's hard to tell what it is because of the ash and dust but it's about twice the size of Violet

Violet examines the chunk of... what this is, tapping it to see what it might be made of or if it is alive

it's metallic and warm to the touch upon closer inspection there's some bent up exhaust pipes that lead to some form of an engine

Violet looks to the engine and sees if there is any compartment to this... car?

the engine looks like it was ripped out of a semi truck, there's a sizeable name plate next to the engine though it's covered in ash and dust so it's impossible to read

Violet trys to reach for the plate and tries to wipe off the ash and dust

the name plate looks to be gold and it reads

"Bionic Angel. Mech testing number 31"

"Bionic Angel? What tech is this?"

Violet looks around to see if she can find any pockets that might contain anything of the sort

Looking around violet can see that whatever this was, it has a mangled and torn edge showing that whatever this was it was torn off of something much larger

Violet takes notes on the design and the plate, taking one sweep of whatever this is before stepping back and flying up to see if she can find whatever it crashed from

Violet flies pretty high up before being able to find anything of significance, but she eventually finds what can only be described as a massive box with thrusters with a mech that's colored charcoal grey with a golden pickaxe, on the front with massive legs the size of light poles and short arms with massive fists and with the entire back half of it's short but wide torso missing. There's various wires and tubes and structural pieces of steel hanging out of the back, there's another golden name plate stamped on the front of it.

Violet looks to the nameplate

Inscribed on the name plate is

"Property of Cole Genesone industries, you can find my contact information on https://colegenesone.neocities.org/Cole.html"

Violet's eyes widen as she sees Cole's name as she thinks

She looks to where the chunk could have gotten broken off from

The metal box is sparking and barely hanging on to the rest of the mech, seems it malfunctioned

Violet sees if she can find a place to stand without falling off

the top of the box looks fairly safe

Violet stands at the top of the box, as types at her phone

Violet looks to see if she can find anyway to get inside the mech

it's full of wires and tubes and structural components, there's not an inch of room for someone to fit inside. There is a large red lever on the side of the box that looks like it could be a manual release of sorts

Violet pulls the red lever

the box releases the rest of the mech as it quickly plummets towards the ground

"OH SHI-!"

Violet races towards the mech in a panic, unsure what to do

Before Violet can reach the mech it slams into the ground face up and leaving a slightly bigger crater.

"Gods dang it"

Violet lands as she inspects the Mech

it doesn't look as damaged as the back part of it, there's some small scratches here and there but otherwise no damage

"Phew"

Violet looks for anything that might peak her interest or anyway to send it back up 

it looks fairly heavy but otherwise repairable, there doesn't seem to be a source of gasoline or any fuel for that matter for the engine

Violet looks around some abandoned houses for some gas cans or fuel to fuel the beast of a machine

she probably finds some but there's no where to put the gas, there isn't a fuel tank in sight or fuel lines or anything for fuel really

"Now what... hmmm. Do I just leave you here?"

Violet pauses as she slumps up against the machine

"At least I kind of have someone to talk to."

She thinks for a moment

"No, no I don't" Sigh

She just looks in the reflection of the machine and thinking

"What am I gonna do."

The wires and tubes don't look too mangled, maybe she could tape them back together

Violet gets up and grabs some tape from a house if not her own as she tapes some of the wires and tubes back together

"Now you look a bit better."

the engine starts to sputter to life as some electronics click back to life

"Hey! There you go! Now that your back to life... now what?"

Violet looks around for any indicators

It flexes his fingers and seems to look around

"Oh? Hello?"

It's voice is slow and robotic

"i cannot move"

"Well, I think you need some fuel but I don't know where to get some unless you're stuck? Anyway I can help out?"

"preforming system diagnosis"

The electronics inside of it click and clack for a second

"leg motors operational"

"So you can move? Can you try standing up?"

It reaches back and grabs the back half of it's torso and starts to slowly stand up

Violet backs up a bit, watching this craftsmanship of machinery slowly get up

It stands at about 20ft tall as it slowly looks around at it's surroundings as electronics click and clack

"Are you alright?"

"major damage to rear torso detected, welding torch recommended"

"Um I could go and try finding one but I don't think I'll find one in just a normal house. Do you have like a health kit for mechs on you?"

"i do not have a repair kit"

Now that the engine is warmed up there's black smoke coming out of the bent exhaust pipes as the engine runs without issue

"Well then I guess I'll try looking for one?"

Violet looks around the houses for any welding torch

While Violet is looking around It glances at the sky

"repair kit spotted"

Violet looks up

"The box? Up there?"

She points up

"correct, all deployment units come equipped with it"

It glances down at Violet as it's electronics click and clack

"i could throw you at it for faster travel"

"Um sure?"

It crouches down and opens it's palm to let violet step on

Violet steps on the palm of the mech

It raises it's hand up and takes a step back

"ready?"

"Yep!"

It slings Violet at the box like a lawn dart

"Launch"

"AH-"

Violet tries to catch herself, trying to make the landing a bit more softer then a crash and burn as she searches the box

There's a panel with label that reads "repair kit" on it

Violet tries to open it up and grab the repair kit

It opens easily and there's a welding torch inside along with instructions labeled 

"Death engine repair instructions"

Violet grabs it as she fly's back down and reads the instructions

The instructions detail on how to take it apart and there's one part of it that sticks out. The final chapter reads "the soul compartment"

Violet reads the final chapter, looking the where it is

The compartment is pictured inside of the engine where the cylinders would be. It explains that the engine uses the power of a soul that's been corrupted to power the electronics and various systems inside of the mech, however while doing this the soul outputs black smoke that is shown going out of the exhaust

"Been corrupted?"

Violet looks for the cylinders

The top part of the engine needs to be taken off as the mech looks at Violet

"would you like me to enter repair mode?"

"Oh! Yes please!"

The mech rests on it's "knees" as the engine powers down

Violet removes the top part of the engine as she looks inside

She gets the bolts off and sure enough there's a soul covered in green and black tissue sitting there

She puts the top part back on as she grabs the welding torch and starts to repair it

it welds back together with ease

Violet looks to the machine

"Um... you an turn back on and status report on systems?"

the engine roars to life as black smoke billows out of the exhaust and it carefully stands up

"preforming diagnostic"

the electronics inside click and clack quieter

Violet waits as she sits down watching

the electronics stop clicking and clacking

"all systems nominal, internal structure 80 percent integrity"

"Awesome! Wait- What can you do? Other than being strong as all get out. Can you teleport?" 

"no my ablilites include, precision strikes, battle charge, and punching"

"Awesome. Do you have a name?"

"Bionic Angel"

"Well I'm gonna call you Achilles! Let's go home Achilles."

Violet starts walking home

It takes slow measured steps as it follows

Violet gets home as she waits outside for Achilles to catch up

Achilles isn't too far behind as it glances around

"marking location, home"

"Hey Achilles? Quick question, can you hack fair away camera systems?"

"approximately how far away is this camera system?"

"In California."

"i would have to get approximately 1,800 miles closer to the camera system"

"How long would it take you to get there?"

"28 hours of constant travel"

"Dang... alright. Is there way to amplify your distance so you can reach the cameras from here or a shorter distance?"

"if i connected to a series of satellites i could however i'm sure the owner of them would not be happy"

"How quickly could you do this."

"20 minutes"

"Do it. Connect that way to Catacombis in Los Angeles, California. Can you display it to me some how?"

"do you have a device i could connect to in order to display the cameras"

Achilles stares at the sky

Violet pulls out her laptop

"Here."

A device named "bionic angel" connects to the laptop

Violet waits for the cameras to pop on her screen

Violet opens her google doc, readying to take notes if this success.  She crosses her fingers.

"Any update Achilles?"

"they did not approve of me accessing there camera system"

"Can you try again? And can you send a message with it?"

"trying"

Violet waits as she browsing the Catacombis Instagram and Website

"they have denied the prompt, i do not think we will be able access the cameras remotely"

“Can you find a back way?”

"if we could get inside it would be possible to place a device between the cameras and the control center"

“Alright… I will just have to think on it, I am going to head inside. Can you stay out here? I just don’t think you will fit in the house.”

"i will be safe outside, i can defend myself from any threat"

“Alright. Thank you.”

Violet heads inside the home
