The mayor cracks it's knuckles, and runes begin to appear on the ground.

"You alright Umbra? Here, you're going to need this more than me." Danu takes the hardlight shield off and hands it back to him to use, realizing he'd need the protection.

Turning to face their foe again, she smiles. "Fear not, creature of evil. You'll soon be at peace."

Hesitating a little bit because she didn't like using her power when people were watching, a flaming sword forms in front of her. It appears to be made entirely of hard light, its shape resembling the heavenly sword Caliburn that King Arthur had drawn from the stone to begin his reign. Unlike its medieval counterpart, or perhaps even a yet untold power in that ancient relic though, this sword had white flames all along the blade, a fire which was scorching hot to foes but only gently warming to friends.

As she holds the blade out in front of her, a hard-light shield very similar to the shape of the one Umbra had let her try on appears on her arm, only without its emitter.

"Do your worst, restless being of the night!"

It was two and a half years ago. I had finally become an engineer for the Guard itself. At the time, State was nothing more than a normal Guard, but he aspired to join the upper ranks. Not for a larger salary, but for the greater good. I remember him telling me how he felt that he was never doing enough to help those who needed it. How if he were only a High Guard, he would have the ability and respect to keep defending what mattered most.

At the time, it seemed he would never make it in. He always came so close to passing the inductory tests, but always missed the mark. Eventually, it seemed as if he was going to give up…

It was at that time that the concept of the Paladin Armor Mark Three came into being. One of the first things we began development on was an aim assist. The Guards may not use firearms often, but the need arises every now and then. I did not take part in the actual coding, but I was excited nonetheless. Excited enough to tell my brother about it one evening…

I do not know what thought must have spurred the idea, but he offered to be its first test subject. I tried to write it off, but he was too damn persistent… I eventually gave in. After a bit of persuasion, I managed to get permission for State to be the early alpha tester for the aim assist program. I did not know then how much of a mistake that was…

On the first day of testing, I noticed something… Different about State. Not only did that accursed crosshair appear for the first time, but he seemed… Empty. He started reciting instead of speaking; no emphasis, flair, emotion… As if he were a machine reading lines off a document. I was not sure what had happened until it was too late. As opposed to installing the program directly into his armor, State had installed it into his own hardware. That was when the problem began. We cannot gain external storage without certain modifications; none of which he had. As a result, he had to suppress some of the data he already retained in order for the program to work. I am glad he did not choose to suppress anything important… But the choice he made was to deactivate his emotional programming. Over time, it was lost forever. Never again have I heard him speak with feeling… I fear he may have turned himself into more of a program than a person.

——

“Every now and then, I try to remember what it was like before the installation… But now I can’t remember the last time I even heard State say anything with any tone. I wish I could revert his programming, but at the same time I fear it may cost him the position he deserves to have…” Syntax faces Surge again. “That is why I can’t afford for you to tell anyone. It could ruin his career… Or even worse, our brotherhood…”
