It turned out, trying to pull a Wolverine and coat Cyber's bones in vibranium had been a horrible idea. Aleister resisted the urge to gag at the smell of blood in the air, checking over the cyborg with a frown.
She'd live, but he'd have to completely replace some organs and nerves. Vibranium was useful, probably the strongest material he had access to, but it was also difficult to put into an organic body. Cyber was well... A cyborg, but she was still organic, she needed certain parts to function and trying to coat or transform bones had almost killed her.
If he wanted to succeed at using vibranium inside an organic body, he needed to improve his knowledge of biology.
Let me explain why this failed, Aleister failed a biology check, Mad Scientist specifically says
Mad Scientist. (Science comes easily to you, you can create machines most can only dream of. Your only limit is needing the correct equipment and materials).
While this does include some basic knowledge of how to make cyborgs, it does not include an automatic max biology knowledge, something required to put something like vibranium in a living body (Well not max biology, but something higher then the current 20% is needed unless you want to rely on a lucky roll).
Aleister looked through a few news reports, making notes as he did so. He currently knew of a few Demi-Servants, Armsmaster with Sigurd, an unknown with Koga Saburo, and Panacea with Nightingale. Archer was a complete unknown in both who it was and what Servant they bonded with, while Skitter was an unknown Caster.
Rider and Lancer had yet to reveal themselves-
Beep!
Aleister blinked, quickly checking over his personal laptop (Not the one he kept FB on), he had created a program that would scan the news for anything potentially connected to Servants and he'd already recieved a lot of false reports, but if there was any chance this was correct... He quickly began reading the news, conflicting emotions within him.
Wards Abused?
Its been a long time concern of citizens across Brockton Bay how much the Wards are involved directly in dealing with criminals, we are promised that these are children being trained to understand their powers and not child soldiers, but today we have undeniable proof that the Wards is not the safe environment it pretends to be.
Vista, one of the youngest members has been seen getting increasingly violent in her activities against the gangs, and when her teammates confronted about it in public, Vista proceeded to suffer some sort of mental break down, shouting about how much she hated the Wards program and revealing a previously unknown ability (Believed to be a Second Trigger), a projection of a white horse she used to flee the area. The PRT have stated they have everything under control and Vista simply needed some time to relax after pushing herself to far, despite the fact many agents of the PRT have clearly been searching across the city for something or someone.
Aleister stopped reading there, his mind focused on the single image of the 'projection' Vista had created, or rather summoned. The steed of the King of Knights when summoned as a Lancer, Dun Stallion.
He cursed, Artoria Lancer was a monster of a Servant to deal with, but perhaps this wasn't to bad? If Vista really was hiding away somewhere in Brockton Bay, he could easily hunt her down with a tracking spell from Medea, although whether he'd be able to kill or capture her was the real question.
He'd need to talk to Medea over what to do, but at this point he felt it was time to start moving. He knew the identity of most of the Demi-Servants and if he waited to long, something could go wrong.
I DID consider revealing who Rider is here, but since nobody has been able to guess it and win that final omake, I decided to keep it secret for it.
FB watched over the security camera's, making careful note of anyone who was just a bit to slow when they passed Creator's home, she would not allow a single thing to meddle with her Creator.
Of course, she did not realize this wasn't something she was ordered to do, it was something she had chosen for herself, an act of free will, a sign she had fully ascended from VI to AI.
She checked across the house's cameras again, prisoners in their cells, new prisoner Alabaster trying to escape again but unable to break the small vibranium cage he had been trapped inside. She made a mental note that they needed more room, with the prisoners and the workshop, the basement was running out of room. Perhaps Creator could buy a larger house? No, he had money but not that much money.
FB checked her Creator's room, finding him working on some type of silver cube, only for it to fall apart into chunks.
"Creator, you have been working for 153 minutes now, I suggest you take a break". A speaker in the room echoed with her newly created synthetic voice, a gift from Creator she utterly adored. Sending messages to Creator was quick, but it didn't produce the same pleasure as directly talking to him.
"I... Suppose you are correct". Creator rubbed his nose as he stood up and stretched, before picking up the chunks of the silver cube and throwing it onto his bed. "Make a note regarding Project Superweapon, recreating Logos React Replica is beyond me for now".
"Understood Creator". FB updated her files, Project Superweapon, a project Creator had started this morning, an attempt to recreate the superweapons of Atlas.
FB has fully ascended into an AI! She's nowhere near close to Dragon, but she can be sent into the Internet and chances of her being caught are pretty low as long as your not trying anything to insane.
Messing with dimensions wasn't easy and as Aleister picked up the pieces of his attempt at creating his own Logos React Replica, his mind blurred with thoughts. After learning of Vista being bonded with Artoria Lancer, an idea had been planted in his head.
Rhongomyniad, the tower at the end of the world, said to keep the Layers of the world together. If he could somehow acquire it, then travelling the dimensions would be easy. But how was he meant to get it from Vista? Just stealing it wouldn't work and he wasn't sure he'd be able to get it again if he just killed Vista and put Lancer Artoria into the Holy Grail.
Perhaps perfectly recreating Logos React Replica (Or Add) was impossible, but could he create a lesser version that would just store the holy spear? It could work if he got Medea to help...
He resisted the urge to work, FB would just keep bothering him till he took a proper break and with how he planned to attack the Empire later, he needed it.
Faust couldn't believe his fucking luck, what were the chances of this? A single Empire cape accompanied only by a few grunts, and said cape being an untrained teenager? It was basically begging for Rune to be added to his captives.
The young cape and Empire grunts were leaving after threatening a cafe owner about the... Race of his employs (Faust could never understand how anyone believed that white supremacist shit). Now they were travelling through an alleyway, the perfect opportunity to strike.
Rune was the first to be targeted, he fell on her from above and delivered a electric-charged punch to her, and then a kick to her head that sent her to the dream realm.
"SHIT RU-". The grunt never got to finish his words as using Reinforcement Faust sped around and dealt with each of them with ease...
He blinked, looking about, no new capes showing up, nobody watching him... Where was the sudden difficulty strike? Something going wrong and forcing him to retreat with half his prizes? Had he truly become so accustomed to something going wrong he was shocked when it didn't?
Shrugging, with nobody to watch he used Flash Air to transport all his new captures to his basement.
Okay woah that was, very lucky spin, capturing Rune and some Empire grunts, more experiments!
Some good things, some less good things, some plans forming in Aleister's head and an opportunity appearing.
