Prime : wrath of the machines (slow and Irregular updates)

Surrounded

Chapter Six ~ Surrounded

Its been a week since I left the compound, wandering the waste, taking shelter whenever possible. Luckily I haven't encountered any rogue machines or Mauraders in my path to get as far away from my friends as possible. I learned from Ai that most hive Rogues especially the Cloakers prefer to wander at night which gives me the huge advantage to find shelter before it gets dark. I stopped my hover bike near a rusted subway in the middle of Atlas City or at least what's left of it and Checked my holo watch displaying a small holographic map of the City.

"Looks like were near an Underground settlement Ai and by looks of it That is the only safe Zone for miles." I sniffed then tapped the hologram to set a way point to that human settlement.

Understood master it will be wise for your continued survival that we take shelter as soon as possible, should I perform a nanite detection pulse to see if their any infected machines in the vicinity?

"Please do." I replied.

Nanite detection Pulse in 3...2...1!!!

An electromagnetic pulse suddenly burst out of my body going in every direction passing through numerous objects until I coudn't see the blue streaks energy. The N.D.T devised by Ai sends a pulse of Electromagnetic energy unique only to nanites which somehow relays a code which only they can receive forcing them to Send out a similar pulse that Ai uses to detect them.

Master I detected two Fifty meters South-East from here and the estimated time that they would Reach our position would be twenty seven minutes and seven seconds... What will be your decision master?

Considering that I am barely armed with nothing but a laser pistol I wouldn't last very long if I encountered combat type machines like the bruiser type Mech.

"Alright Let's go."

I re-engaged the propulsion system my bike and Left zooming past the neglected buildings of The once proud city square of atlas. Years of neglect and the ensuing battles against the machines has left the city in shambles. Eliminating the Hive, would allow us the chance to retake the city but that too is doomed to fail because as soon as one falls the other hives would  activate an orbital barrage to Exterminate us along with the city. It happened once fifteen years ago when humans in Japan managed to bring down the Hive located in Hokkaido, it would have been huge step forward for man kind but immediately after the reclaiming  process, hundreds of black stakes roughly the size of the Eiffel tower rained from sky annihilating the once proud country of the sun.

I revved the engine of bike and sped up Trying my best not to collide with any obstacles that blocked my path. It was already afternoon when I arrived at the entrance of underground settlement, guarded by a scarred man leaning on a relic weapon called the minigun.

"Shelter kid?" He asked flashing me a grin which made me swallow.

I nodded.

"What can you trade for asylum kid this ain't free you know." He smirked pointing his thumb towards the hatch behind him.

"What do you want then?" I asked.

"Anything really from a cold drink to weaponry that would keep me company guarding this hatch." He said scratching his bad head.

"I see what about two EMP Grenades?"

"That's a good deal i'll take it." He  grinned again reaching out his palms.

I placed the two small devices on his out stretch hand and walked towards the hatch.

"Pleasure doin' business with you kid." He said as I Entered the hatch.

The tunnel leading towards settlement was a part of the sewer system of atlas city which made it possible to travel to different parts of the city if not for the fact that most paths in the sewers were sealed because the danger it poses when machines manage to enter the system.

Master Detecting biological signatures activate self defense protocol?

"No Ai they aren't a threat and what do you mean self defense protocol?"

Full control of artificial intelligence of the host body during combat situations

"You could do that?"

Yes but only with permission of the host, it is against my programming to actively perform such action if the master is dislikes the notion of being controlled.

"I see..."

I took a left turn following the painted sign that would lead me to the settlement. The old crusted walls reeked but this was the price of safety So i could live with it. At the end of the tunnel I could make out a huge open area were Small houses made from scavenged sheets of metal reflected the light from the weak fluorescent lighting.

Master detecting multiple biological signatures heading towards our location, possiblity of conflict is ninety seven point two percent. Course of action required.

"Hey kid thanks for the grenades but they aren't enough to keep this place safe, so hand over everything you have now." The familliar voice Sneered.

I turned to look behind me and I was not surprised that i saw the grinning face of scar face.

"we had a deal!!!" I shouted but he only laughed.

"Your so naive kid, it shows." He sneered. "You can't trust everyone who talks with you."

He snapped his finger as five men revealed themselves from the shadow each holding A revolver and shanks an improvised weapons made of scrap metal welded to together to form a sharp point.

"Hand over all your goods kid you ain't got a chance." Growled one the men.

"Give it up kid and we might let you live but who knows I night just sell you to evadne to make a profit instead." Scar face laughed.

Master what will be your course of action will you allow me full control of your body or will you decline?

"I know what I must do Ai and it won't be pretty."
