CYBORG 009: The X Factor
LOCATION: A CHEMICAL PLANT ALONG THE WESTERN COAST OF THE UNITED STATES
OWNER OR ORGANIZATION: BLACK SUN
TIME: 3:55 A.M. PST
Two security guards were at their post when a few tanker trucks rolled in, making their usual delivery of oil and other compounds. "Just another normal night, wouldn't you say Jonsey?" asked one of the security guards, the other replied: "Yep Charles, I hate to admit it…but for the first time I think we can actually turn in early?"
That's when they heard it, and the sound was near unmistakable…it was the sound of a motor cycle. They both watched as it pulled up between them, Jonsey walked up and shined a flashlight on the rider. The rider wore a black bandana over his face, a black flat low-crowned sombrero, red lens goggles, a black trench coat, a pair of faded blue jeans, a black shirt, and he had dress shoes on (really nice ones).
"I have to ask if you have any clearance to enter this facility sir?" Jonsey asked. The stranger dismounted his ride (which by the way is a Harley) and replied, "I've been a part of this company for several months, and you're telling me that I need clearance to enter this facility?" The strangers' voice was low and gruff, sounded as if he hadn't had a drink of water in days. "I-I-It's just standard procedure sir." Jonsey said, rather scared of the man now. The stranger took off his goggles and revealed the strangest eyes the Jonsey and Charles had ever seen, I mean they were normal human eyes…but the irises were a sort of whitish silver color. The man responded, "Oh yeah…well," the stranger reached into his trench coat and yanked out a gun, but it wasn't your standard hand pistol, far from it, this thing looked like a futuristic 10 gauge with a pistol handle and trigger. "Here's my clearance!" The stranger finished, then he aimed the thing at Charles and fired. Jonsey pulled out his gun, but the stranger then asked him: "DO YOU WANT A PIECE OF THIS?!?" Jonsey dropped his gun and fled.
The stranger then pointed the gun at the gate and with one shot of his weapon, blew it clear away. A bunch of guards carrying rifles tried to block his route, but the stranger took one good look at them and then said, "If you thought that trick with the door was something…check this out." The stranger then threw his gun into the air, it then split in two and became two separate guns, the stranger wasted no time in getting rid of the blockade. He then started to plant timed explosives in certain areas of the plant, "This was too easy…I was sure they'd have sent a military vehicle after me by now?" The stranger said to himself, to underscore his point as he was about to leave he was met by a military tank. The stranger chuckled to himself and said, "Finally I get to have a little fun…computer, install ammo: proximity impact." The stranger only had to shoot, and the tank blew up.
As the stranger mounted his motorcycle again, he pressed a button on his gun, all the sudden several explosions rang out. Jonsey watched in horror as his workplace, and possibly career…go up in flames. Jonsey then looked at the stranger and asked, "WHO ARE YOU?!?"
The stranger put his goggles back on and said, "The name…is 00X, remember it!" and with that 00X started up his motorcycle and took off, as the fire trucks and ambulances arrived. Jonsey would never forget this night, the night he saw 00X, the last night he would ever have a chat with Charles.
