And All It Took Was One Bullet

The Lie

I remember purging my DNI... I remember walking out to that soldier... I remember the lie I told him...my name isn't Taylor. Honestly I don't know what it is...so I guess Taylor works. After all, he's dead anyway, so borrowing his name in memory works. I grabbed my gun, went to the front line and destroyed what was left of the enemy. Its not the same without them, my team I mean. Hall was the walking encyclopedia, Diaz was greater at tech then I. Maretti was great at destroying shit... Well so am I , Taylor was an amazing friend and leader, and as for Hendricks...he may be a pain in the ass, but he was my friend, I still have nightmares of when I shot him...I didn't want to, it wasn't me who did it...I was like him. A mutt to that thing. It controlled all of us, changing us, it still bothers me...Kane knew it would, she is the one I missed the most. She was always there for me. Even when she was captured and when Hendricks left. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I wanna marry her or anything, she is like a sister to me. Besides I'm straight, girls like that have no effect on me. To top things off, I'm half robot, love isn't really possible for me, It doesn't have the same effect. But somehow that didn't stop me from having secret feelings for Hendricks. I knew it wouldn't matter anyway. He probably didn't feel the same way, and if he did, he didn't show it, so neither did I. Maybe being what I am, still has some features of a regular women, even as half machine. But I learned to move on in the 3 years of hiding, if anyone found out I was the last one of the group, they would automatically be suspicious of me. I wouldn't blame them, after all, Taylor and Hendricks both took over and destroyed everything in their path, so caution is the best thing to have now. I still think about my choices. Every choice I made lead to this. Accepting to help Hendricks and Taylor in the mission to rescue the minister, lead to a robot ripping me apart and becoming a half human half robot special ops thing, to discovering Taylor was behind the demolition, to getting a virus in me, to killing my own kind, then to where I am today...still a soldier...still a killer...still alone. So now as I attempt to run away from it all, I still fight my wars, stopping disasters, getting used to my new life. And to make things more interesting, I was assigned as the new leader of the black ops devision. To most it's an honor, to me, it's making memories that I don't want to remember reappear. But as they say, sometimes you need to remember the past to move on to the future, and that's just what I plan to do.
