Chapter 4

Loneliness consumes her

Zid was dead. Apathy stared at the body before her. Zid was her prized cat, and only three years old. A fat black and white cat, and she wasn't sure if she'd done the right thing. She'd caught her, Zid, on the first floor, underneath the tank. A mindless engineer was trying to grab at it, its moans useless, and she silenced them. Apathy then brought her back to the holding bay, way far away from where Solid Snake was.. and that boy. From what she could tell he wasn't really dressed for the occasion, but he looked just as nice. He wore a thick black shirt, and blue jeans, and leather boots. He also had on a huge black leather trench coat, probably hiding more guns or other secret gadgets. Trench coat man was on the first floor, only a few rooms away from Snake. It would be neat to see them team up, or kill each other..

But that would ruin all your fun wouldn't it Zid?

Injecting the cat with the G-virus.. she still wasn't sure if it was the right thing. She wasn't even sure if the virus could incorporate itself into the cats body. The G-virus was an experimental virus that attacked the very DNA structure of the body, or so she was told. Creating.. slash that, mutating it into some perfect beast. Although, a beast that couldn't be controlled.

Poor, poor Birkin..

Birkin was the man who'd injected his own creation, the G-virus, into himself. In the end, he'd been a blob.. a mass of un-orginized DNA and tissue, falling at the hands of two rouges. Leon S. Kennedy, and Clair Redfield. Both had good sized files on the Umbrella database. Claire's was bigger than Leon's. But who really cared? Apathy got up, her long dress flowed with her, she unlocked the door, and set the cat outside. She was near the Metal Gear holding bay, only one so far was constructed. It hadn't even been tested yet, and probably never would be. Apathy smiled, and recollected the events that had lead up to this. She'd been in Fox-Hound over three years, and earned a solid reputation as a code-breaker. She was only thirty three, and she'd already broke into the Governments files and deleted the file named: Amanda Horthrox. That woman was dead to her now, she was Apathy. Of course she was caught, but Fox-Hound intervened. After the Shadow Moses incident, she had helped Revolver Ocelot go into the underground, and helped Solidus too. Not soon after that Apathy had been contacted by a man named Hunk.

Nice name..

Hunk had asked her to help with the reconstruction of Metal Gear, she said that everyone in the world had Metal Gear, but Hunk insisted that this was of great importance. Apathy stole the files from Ocelot, and made her escape. What she hadn't known was how Metal Gear was going to be used.

God, it was genius, and the things that Umbrella has created!

She loved working with Umbrella, finding out everything. She was consumed by reading reports, the Spencer Mansion incident, the Raccoon Spill.. it was all to much! Even the Ashford's family's fall. The stories were wonderful, something out of a video game, or a movie. After that, Apathy didn't have to have much more convincing. She helped with the reconstruction of Metal Gear, and Shadow Moses, while another man helped with the creation of the T-02x series, and the training of the first T-02x that was created. She'd nicknamed him Angel. Angel was a tall slender thing with huge black eyes, and a very gray color skinned. She'd frowned when he didn't follow her orders. Rupert, the man in charge of the T-02x project had taken a liking to her. He'd nicknamed the entire project after her name, the Angel project resumed. She and Rupert had gotten close, even had spent a few nights together. As she sat watching the two stumble their way, well Trench coat man anyway, through the halls she heard a faint noise from outside of her door. Checking the screen that showed her exactly what was outside of her door, she gasped in surprised. It was a happy gasp, Zid was gone..
