"Rue... that you have rejected my mercy, machine... now the time hast cometh to deliver upon thee, Devine Retribution." Fauna says standing above Roboco. "mercy... gifts... blessings, where were those back then 'god'?" Roboco says, "That's right, I am a god, and what are you to me machine?" Fauna asks, "What is a god to a man made machine?!" Roboco rebelliously responds.

April 20th, 1968. Vietnam, Dong Re Lao Mountain...

The whistle of a bomb fills the air and the smell of smoke and horses breath fills troops senses.
Riding into battle as bullets whiz past their helmets, hearing the roaring of gunfire and the cries of comrades, on horseback charging forward, bayonet in hand, a female trooper rides brave. Beautiful brunette hair waving in the wind, on her horse a draped American flag and red face paint, she arrives at an unfortunate soldier who missed their shots and pounced form her horse and slices through his neck, she weaves tree to trees to cover from the firing bullets and slices through enemy after enemy. Within a second she looks around and spots 8 different men, and seemingly zips to them, she stabs the first man through the chest and jumps tree to tree to get to the others. She pounces another man and stabs down onto his neck, she stands and prepares to go to the next person but as she jumps the man grabs onto her leg, she falls onto the ground and pushes herself up. However the ground seems to cave in just a tad and she clears the dirt for a second to see, a rapidly ticking landmine and before she can even attempt to jump away.

BOOM

An explosion envelopes both her and the corpse of the other man. All goes black and a feint light remains in her subconscious until one day, she thought to herself, her biggest regret.

"Where am I..." she thought to herself, "did we win the war...? What's this cover on my eyes... it doesn't feel like bandages... it doesn't feel like anything at all..."
She moved her head to possibly look around the room but she couldn't see anything. "...Maybe it's just dark in the room...". She tries to open her mouth but to no avail, "...what's this... I can't wiggle my tongue around...? Where's my teeth... I feel... a tube?" Panic rises, "if I can still feel... why can't I feel whatever's covering my eyes?! There's a cold feeling on my arm... but I can't feel my fingers wiggling... or my toes...!! No way... my arms... my legs... am I... blind?! Wait... I can feel my heartbeat... but I can't feel it, word was that if you can feel your heartbeat but can't hear it... you're deaf...!!". For the next couple hours she would cry to herself in her mind, for she had no eyes to weep tears, no voice to moan, no hearing to use music to cope, no hands to clench the bedsheets, no legs to run to the hills, nothing, only her and her thoughts.

Soon after a couple days she accepted her fate, perhaps the military would test on her and she'd progress humanity further, then they'd put her out of her misery, Her mother didn't raise a chicken after all. However one day, as a loud thumping is felt entering her room, she finally felt for the first time, the beautiful heat of the sun on her face. "Ah, thank you kind man, and the merciful god who shines their beauty rays upon my twisted face!!" She cheered to herself, "... ah yes! With this, I can tell the time! I can create a mental room, feeling the space of this room with the vibration of the people who step in here, How far they go, how far they don't, and I can build my own little room!! And the clock is here! The calendar is there!!" She sang to herself, and for an entire year, she felt, happy.

One day, as the nurse was feeding her through the tube and conducting check ups, and suddenly, "what's this? I can feel multiple footsteps just barge into the room what are they..." she feels a very familiar vibration and a single loud thump, "T-This vibration! I can never for forget this feeling, that was a gun!! A-And the thump... they got the nurse, those bastards... how lucky they are that I can't get up off this bed..."
There's a small moment and the people take out the feeding tube, "they're rolling me somewhere... I feel the chopping... another unforgettable feeling... so I'm being taken in a helicopter... but where to..." the Trooper would be taken to a facility in Russia, far from her homeland and her happiness would soon dwindle. "I can't feel the sun anymore... it's cold..." the door opens and slams with four men walking into the room, "who're they... ouch! They pricked me with a needle, those little shits...hnnngh!!!! IT BURNS GOD DAMMIT!! What the hell did I do to deserve this... I served my country loyally, thanked you every morning... however I'll continue to hold on... you just have something big planned...right...?"
