" the doctor starts in as Sanchez and he analyze yet more data. Your double is already off and with a none-to-pleased glare at you, stalks out of the office and down the hall. Neutron"When she ran with Vince and Loco after Ghost, they caught up with him.  Ghost used his powers to phase two metal rods into her body, then released them.  The metal fused with several organs, resulting in serious trauma.  The doctors are working to keep her alive until Doctor Johnson can arrive from New York," she says calmly.  "If it weren't for Vincent, she would have been buried in the rubble and certainly killed." October 26, 2120Dover, EnglandDover Medical Facility X12"That's exactly what you are," she snarls back at you.  "You were created with that purpose.  You are nothing more than a tool to be used as," she says as her form ripples and changes before her eyes.  A hand clamps down on your arm as Prophet now stands where the administrator was, "I see fit." Your vision shifts and you see a black and white frozen image behind you, the administrator talking with you and Trailblazer.  You whirl about finding yourself facing her, still gripped by your father. "Don't you recognize her?  Look closely.  She helped me create you; program you.  You are as much her creation as mine.  Well, perhaps not as much," he says with a chuckle.  With a burst of memory, you do remember her face, vaguely, from lab work early in your life.  "You have two choices now that you remember; serve her wishes, or kill her," he says with a dark laugh. You slam back into your normal vision, arm burning under your uniform.  The administrator is talking to you, but pauses.  "Are you alright?  You appear somewhat disoriented?  If you aren't up to trying to help the girl, I can certainly understand that." "Just a tool," echoes in your mind.</blockquote>
