Prologue:
"Get to safety, quick!" I shouted as my Anti-Nanite Projectiles fought with the nanite wraiths. The terrified wave of scientists and villagers rushed by me, loosening my telepathic link with my Anti-Nanites. The wraiths, now free from resistance, proceeded to destroy everything in sight.
"Quick! Activate the failsafe!" I called to a nearby scientist.
"But sir, you'll be killed!" he shouted back.
"Not if I get out quick," I called to him." Do it now!"
The scientist pulled the lever, and we both rushed to safety. I had about three seconds to close the blast door behind me, but I was able to. The resulting explosion blasted us twenty feet in the air, but, since our reinforced Hazmats protected us, we were able to land mostly intact. The only thing left of the Lambda Lab complex was the civilian tour area. Well, unless you counted the numerous nanite creatures that survived the explosion.
"What theā¦." I exclaimed as the nanites rushed past me. "Not even a scratch!"
I heard numerous screams as the nanites started to take over the nearby village. My nanite sword lay a few blocks from me, so I could not take it and kill them. I saw the scientist next to me get absorbed into a nanite wraith, and I still remember his screams for help as his bloodstream was converted into a factory for more nanites. I quickly stumbled away from him, and his now-red eyes turned to face me. I quickly fled, as I knew I was no match for someone like him.
Once I was safe, I turned to face the damage. Houses were becoming nanite structures, the poor villagers were now nanite wraiths, and I-Corp's artillery was no match for the nanites. Everywhere I looked, there was destruction and despair.
"What have I done, oh what have I done?"
