A few of the arms disappeared to only return with what it looked like a full suit of armor, it fastened on what it
looked like to be were metal shoulder pads, some sort of neck thing that clipped onto the pads, a chest piece that
was fastened by my back before a piece was clipped onto the front.
But it didn't stop there, it clipped on knee pads, parts for my knee and upper legs and even lifted me up to put
on boots, the last thing I need was a helmet and I had a feeling I would look like some old time Samurai or soldier.
I hoped the armor was bullet proof or I had a feeling I would be shot once I got outside of this place.
"Hair is in the way...StatusWig..Do you wish to replace or just remove?" my heart raced at the idea of everyone
seeing me without it but the idea of replace sounded scary "r-replace?" the arms grabbed me and forced me into a
chair that locked me inside with a 360 glass door.
A helmet like thing was planted onto my head and the screen showed me a variety of hair styles, I finally stopped
at a hair style that reminded me of the wig I had on but shorter, the helmet removed itself, removed my wig and a
laser hovered over me.
"Please relax" the laser turned on and it felt like a small stinging on my head as it crazily went back and forth
over my currently bald head. What felt like hours was only possibly seconds as the laser ended it's process "Thank
you, come back again any time!"
The machine lowered into the ground, the chair went with it and the arms helped me back up, one even held a mirror
up for me, it was a short hairstyle but it was better than having nothing.
"Health Status: Weak...Cause: Poison...Cause: Medication...Cure: Remove medication" the voice announced cheerfully
as if it just found the ultimate cure to my sickness, what medicine did it mean? I had no chance to ask it that
as it quickly shoved the helmet on my head.
It was dark until the visor lit up allowing me to see in front of me "Armor Status: Complete...Weapon Status: Empty...
do you wish to retrieve your weapons?" I stared at the screen the excitement I was suddenly feeling was too much
for me to handle.
Not only was I getting armor, but I was getting weapons from this random and very generous computer, but also the
armor seemed to be taking away my pain a bit possibly by acting like a splint.
"Sure" I smiled widely from behind the helmet "As you wish...Weapons available: Shotgun, Sniper, Revolver, Handgun,
Machine gun..." the list went on and on for more in detailed guns and etc. I hardly paid attention, I just got
the smaller guns and let it attach them appropriately to my armor. I did take one sniper though.
"I wonder where that teddy bear went..." I said aloud to myself, it was getting boring standing there and letting
the robot do it's thing "Key Words: Teddy Bear...Changing words: Stuffed Animal...Inventory of Stuffed Animals: 1...
Stuffed Animal: Bear...Do you wish to remove the stuffed animal from inventory and to your person?" I felt like a
young child for saying yes but I said so anyway.
I clipped the bear to my hip like the man had it on his body.
It actually felt a bit more comforting to have a personal buddy...
Finally the arms forced gloves onto my hands and stuffed guns into each, I seemed to be overloaded with guns but I
guess that was the point that in case I was in battle I would be fully prepared.
"Is that all?" the computer asked, I had a feeling that if it was a person it would hold a sad look on it's face
as if it was sad that I was already leaving, it seemed to have so much fun dressing me up.
"Yes, so the elevator will lead me to the surface?" I walked to it carefully
"Yes it will lead you to Base 1 Shilo Wallace, come back at any time" the doors closed behind me as I walked
inside.
Looking at myself in the mirrored walls I could see that I looked like a soldier but black and blue surging through
the suit as if it was being powered by Zydrate, as if the whole world couldn't get enough of it.
The elevator moved fast because I was at the back of the store in now time.
I stomped through the room, holstered the gun in my right hand to open the door and was faced with Mag, DG, TJ
and Graverobber standing in the middle of the store.
Now this was the actual chapter I was COMPLETELY unsure about putting because of the armor part, but then again in such a dangerous business I felt that...that not only would the guys have either illegal guns or a large amount of guns but also some sort of armor, like it's a basic thing to have if they are also going to have an underground home base with computers and what not. Also the hair thing? I just thought that since they could replace body parts...being able to apply hair should also be a choice, why didn't her father just do that? I don't know maybe that still isn't possible in the time but I felt that it was...something that could be easily gotten away with because she was only given like a pixie cut with what the machine could manage, not some full set of hair. I was hoping I could get away with doing that. Why were all the adults in the main room of the store with the continuously mentioned 'Staff Only' door? Because I felt that Mag would be one to freak out and everyone would slowly get together and try to work out some sort of plan to find her. How long was she in that room? In real life if anything about 5-15 minutes, Mag would have possibly spent 5-9 just speaking to Graverobber about Shilo's health. To then slowly walk back up to the room within about 10 minutes passing to find Shilo gone to rush down and tell Graverobber she is gone, then maybe all of them freak out thinking she was hiding somwhere...so within about that the max she spent would be...20-25 minutes there. How did the robot make the armor that fast? You'll find out later as to why. Until then
