The once proud Blackwatch operations that once controlled all of New York and the military was now reduced to just a small number of scientists that were in hiding, hidden from the rest in a small lab. The government had found what they are, and they thought they are monsters, all of them are in their eyes. The organization that held out the outbreak of the Redlight and Blacklight was broken apart for seeing it as the worst of all things that man should be. They judged them and saw them as monsters that needed to be put out, and in just three years all of the files, the projects and every information on what Blackwatch is, is wiped out from the face of the earth. Even when Blackwatch saved the entire earth from the virus. Replaced with a crude label as a corps operations that separated from the Overwatch.
The last of the members of Blackwatch held out in a small lab somewhere in Miami. Though small, they were alive nonetheless as an organization, unknown to everyone, in the military, The Overwatch and especially the Talon that led by Gabriel Reyes. They were fortunate that they were unable to locate where their location are.
"How are the D-Code serums Dr?" Carson asked. He was a tall man, standing at 6'2, he was wearing a simple businessman like clothing, appearing to be the commander of the last members of the organization. He had short black hair, with brown eyes and a slightly heavy physique with an appearance of age taking toll on his face, as he looked at the doctor working on the last samples of the virus.
"The DX-1118 are almost ready for controlled application Captain Carson sir, these three are the last samples of the virus." Parker replied as she looked back at her commanding officer. She was wearing chemical goggles along with the standard clothing for doctors, wearing the long white jacket under. She had long blonde hair with blue eyes, with a beautiful and youthful appearance with a physically fit physique.
Carson nodded. "Good, we need only the wait for the patients that would arrive for the application processes to happen. We only have a week on time before the Talon or the Overwatch would find us and destroy all out projects." He commented as he turned his back.
"Sir, would the revival of Project Orion D-Code soldiers surely destroy the Omnics?" Parker asked as she turned to his direction, she took her goggles off and gestured at the last three samples of the serums.
Her commanding officer nodded. "Yes, like discussed in the meeting room, they will be attacking their intelligence with the computer virus inside their bases, we need their absolute durability and their capabilities for the three to roll through their defenses with ease and escaped with ease. " He said to her before adding. "And you should know this Melissa Parker, with being the one of the top scientists here in Blackwatch, you have to prioritize information."
"So, our assurance of protecting the human race is...secured?" She asked once more.
Carson shook his head. "No, it won't, the Omnics are unpredictable, we can't count on them entirely. That's why we will be aiding them, but we will be putting ourselves into hiding in those times. And besides...the Overwatch and the Talons are still there to cause problems." He said before gesturing her to look back to her project. "Dr. Parker, I expect that serum to be finished tomorrow in 1800 hours, two of our patients would be arriving soon." The captain said as he turned his back once more and walks away to observe the others.
"Two sir? I thought we had three on the way in."
He chuckled and puts a hand on his forehead. "Of course." He said before gesturing the young scientist to follow. "Follow me Dr. Parker, it seems that its time for you to meet one of the patients." He said
The young doctor nodded and followed. They make way through the halls of the lab, the lab was built and located underground, beneath the streets of Miami for maximum protection of the facility. It is the last stronghold of the remaining Blackwatch members. They were led by Captain John Carson, the last viable and proven commander to lead them. They walked through the halls of the lab, all of it, the floor, the ceiling are in plated metal, created for absolute protection of the facility. The facility was big, big enough to fit tanks and big enough to have a training facility that spans a hundred meters across. And the rest were of the facility were a standard, yet highly advance modifications for surgical and medical rooms for the research facility.
The young doctor was busy looking around the facility, looking at other fellow scientist that were busy typing down the needed information of their discovery. There were no guards around for them as an asset of security, because none would consider joining the dead group, and also none would inside the organization would be foolish enough to reveal themselves and recruit others. But nonetheless, there was nothing else needed to be of concern in terms of security inside the facility.
"Our patient here was hidden for a bit here inside the facility, only a few knows him until we revealed it to other scientist to find compatibility for the serum to recreate the genetic modifications to enhance his body." He said to her as they walked through, the commanding officer was continuing on for further information as they deepen into the medical rooms, finally arriving at a gate were a hand scan would be needed. "He was once an agent in the Overwatch." He told her.
She narrowed her brow in confusion and opens her concern. "Sir, if he is an Overwatch agent, there would be chances of defection." The young doctor concerned.
Carson dismissed her concerns and assured. "He won't." He said as his palms pressed into the hand scan, giving access, making a short beep sound, a signal for the metal gate to be opened. "Because he knew he needed our help when he was assassinated by his own wife." He said, letting even a more confused doctor to ask.
"Assassinated sir? So, you mean we will apply our serum to a corpse?" She asked once more, forcing the commander to bark at her.
"Would you let me finish doctor?" He quickly spat out, letting a signal, and in response the doctor nodded. "He's alive and well, but critically injured where he is living inside a liquid tank with tubes around his body to survive." He said as he arrived at the subject
The man was contained in the tank, with all kinds of tubes around his body, he wore an oxygen mask inside and was asleep, having a clear cut on his neck where his wife killed him. He had auburn hair that was dancing around the pressures of the water with a fair skinned appearance and his physique was skinny, due to the lack of real nutrition and movements.
"This here is Gérard Lacroix was once the agent the spearheaded on taking out the terrorist organization, and in the end it caused his life, but we in the Blackwatch managed to save his life by retrieving his body and putting him here for his brain to be alive. We set up cables around his brain to transfer his consciousness inside the computer. All he sees in his consciousness is surrounded by wires and machines created by the brain to create a scenario of where he should be, but in truth his consciousness is nothing but a computer, but he knew that." He explained as he walked up to a computer beside the tank, he sat down and opened a tab and begins to type down.
"How are you Lacroix?" Carson typed at the computer.
The young doctor looked at the blank screen of the computer for a few seconds, receiving no answer, but after moments on, a reply came. "Doing alright Carson, but bored."
The commander gestured for the young doctor and typed down. "I want you to meet a scientist here in the facility. Tell her that you are aware pf everything." He typed before standing up and letting the young doctor maker questions.
"How are you Dr? Still doubting my existence?" Lacroix asked through the computer.
Dr. Parker was amazed at its responses, that the computer truly manifested his consciousness, an impressive feat among the Blackwatch ranks. The doctor quickly typed a question, eager to know more and what else here. "Are you truly Gérard Lacroix from the Overwatch? Are you really the man inside the tank?" She typed the question.
"Yes." The computer man replied before giving an explanation. "I was the one leading the Overwatch team on taking out the Talon. We attempted to take them down in order to gather more information for the Second Omnic Crisis that would follow shortly, so that's why we need to take them down before we delve in inside the crisis. But the terrorist group was too crafty, and made numerous attempt of assassinations against me."
"My captain said that you were assassinated by your own wife?" She cautiously asked through the text.
"That is indeed right. They kidnapped her, but we managed to retrieve her from the base in one of our operations. The Talon specifically wanted for us to retrieve her during that. I knew that they brainwashed her, so we made series of attempts to have her back. And She pretended to be back, because the Talon specifically trained her to be cloak at the most dangerous times. And the results was that I was assassinated in my sleep." He continued on.
"How did you survive?"
The computer patient replied. "I didn't. I died, but Blackwatch was able to retrieve my body and revived it before the decomposition phase, my consciousness is alive and they transferred it inside a computer, Captain Carson told me the moment that when I first realized. At first I didn't accept it, but in the end I knew I needed help from Blackwatch. With Talon getting everything they want in a snap, and with the Overwatch being scattered and virtually do not know what the real Blackwatch Organization is, everything would fall down."
"How do we know you will not defect and betray us?" The doctor asked, overlooking at the Captain beside her which was quietly observing the conversation.
"Overwatch has more concerns on the Talon than rather it on the Omnics. Defecting to them would be a folly when the Omnics build up inside the crisis. Blackwatch right now is the only ones I can trust. I can retrieve and get Amelia later and face of the Talons, but right now with the Talon and Overwatch fighting each other, we could take opportunity on putting out the artificial intelligence. We may be attacked by both of the Organizations during our operations, but at least we will be making progress."
The doctor heard enough and looks up at the captain, her eyes hovering over the older commander, looking at him with assurance that she had indeed trusted his judgement. "The serums will be ready for tomorrow Captain." She said, earning a reply.
"Ready them Doctor, the patients will be arriving shortly."
