The Machine-Part 3.5
Based on a true story
Satellizer thought for a moment, realizing what she had heard. (Author's note: See part 3 for details).
"All this time, I was humiliated repeatedly. As a punishment, and it wasn't their fault! What did
Kazuya do to deserve this chore in designing and building these "Bodies"?" Satellizer thought,
shocked and horrified, as she looked around her and found an elevator and went inside and found a
monitor ahead of her. "Shall we play a game?" Satellizer muttered, confidently, as she pressed a
button, causing it to descend. (Author's note: "Shall we play a game?" is a pop culture reference.
Just thought you should know.). as the elevator descended, a somber piano rendition of "Serenade"
by Franz Schubert suddenly played in the speakers. "Elevator music. Just how old fashioned was
he?!" Satellizer commented. Eventually, the elevator stopped, and the music cut out, as Satellizer
opened the elevator and found a tape recorder ahead of her. Hoping to find an answer, she played
the tape and heard the voice of Marks Spencer. "Testing, 1, 2, 3. The purpose of this tape is to test
automated response times and reactions from our test subjects, following audio stimuli. If you are
playing this tape, then that means that not only have you been checking the cellblocks in the
conditioning department at the end of your shift, as you were instructed to do, but also have found
a subject that meets the criteria of your special obligations under paragraph 666. Follow my
instructions, document response times then safely secure the testing chamber before leaving. upon
sealing the chamber, you are not to return under any circumstances. Also, nothing is being taken out
beforehand, so if you've left anything inside, then it's your own fault. Beginning audio prompt in 3,
2, 1." Before a distorted recording of an abusive masochist played "You're nothing! Worse than
nothing! You're just my doll, and always will be!". Satellizer gasped at the familiarity of the
masochist's voice, before the tape switched back. "Document results…beginning audio prompt
number 2 in 3, 2, 1.". before the tape switched to the voice of a seductive woman: "Become my little
brother, and I can guarantee you a wonderful time at school.", before switching back. "Document
results. Beginning audio prompt in 3, 2, 1." Before switching to the voice of a dismissive girl: THIS is
how far I want you to stay away from me! Understand?!" before switching back. "Wait a tick…. That
is MY voice they used. I have never been so violated in my life!" Satellizer muttered, in
embarrassment. "Document results. Beginning audio prompt number 4 in 3—" before Marks was cut
off by a seductive voice, which finished the countdown before him, before the tape ended. "what is
going on in this appalling place?" Satellizer pondered, as she entered a nearby door and found a dark
office. Where a computer was nearby. Satellizer browsed the files and found very little of interest,
before stumbling across a folder, marked "Project: Dominatrix". Satellizer entered that folder, and found a subfolder marked: "Schematics", and entered it and was shocked to
find the names of every single third year student who humiliated her. And found 2 names marked: "Terminated": Creo Brand
and Kannazuki Miyabi. "Assuming terminated refers to "killed", then I may be able to rest easy,
knowing some sort of Deus Ex Machina is killing those who embarrassed me at the academy. All
right, you "Je nes sais Quoi", you've piqued my interest. Just who are you?" Satellizer thought, as
she looked at the schematics and found that the third year students were not human at all. That the
stigmata was not an Ereinbar set, but cybernetic implants, which control the very same functions.
Many of these schematics had audio lure functions, as well. One of them revealed that Arnett
McMillan was in fact an amalgamation of several failed subjects, fused together to form a stronger
subject, Kannazuki was designed to lure men in, to trap them. Another schematic, marked "Scalable
creation of Superior Presence", a crane shaped contraption which is apparently designed to make
the "Third years" Stronger than most of the test subjects, as the machine name would imply. "Oh,
dear lord, I must warn everyone. But first I must find Kazuya." Satellizer thought, as she continued to
a ruined lab station and found a battered camera with one archived video log of a young Kazuya
recording an experiment: "Kazuya Aoi. The current time is…12:30 AM. The First Stigmata prototype
is finally ready to test on a Human male, and what better guinea pig, than myself? I know there are
risks, but I can't allow Misogyny to interfere with the natural order, when Science can correct it. To
whoever is watching this: If the unthinkable happens, please see that my parents, my grandfather
and my sister get this note." He said before putting an envelope on the counter in front of him,
before injecting the serum in his Forehead, before grunting in pain. "Stings. Still no more than to be
expected." The Younger Kazuya in the video continued, before feeling a painful headache. "I
feel…something…. happening….AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!"
before the video cut out, though not before a freezing field was cast around him uncontrollably. "So
that must be why he could control his freezing ability without a baptism." Satellizer thought, as she
heard sounds of a scuffle occurring nearby. "What is going on down there?" Satellizer thought, as
she wandered closer to see Kazuya down below fighting a disfigured Female looking abomination.
"There you are…." Satellizer thought, with a relieved grin, which was replaced with a shocked look
on her face. "What are those machines strapped to his arms? They do look primitive, of that I'm
sure. But I have never seen him defend himself alone. But he will need help. Hold on, Kazuya…I'm
coming." Satellizer assured before climbing through the grate, to hide in the shadows, her newly
retrieved Nova Blood at the ready.
(Author's note: This chapter happens in tandem with an upcoming chapter, which will be finished eventually, which
opens more questions: How did Satellizer retrieveNova blood, the weapon that Kazuya recklessly stole? Who Is Kazuya fighting? And What is the Deal
with the disfigured monster that is his opponent? I will have answers…of a sort…to these questions
in chapter 4.)
