open War on PACE: The Begining

[FractalMoon 378]

"Oh, I just checked Blake's vitals. He's fine." Ben said. He looked deep into Lydia's eyes. "I know. Trust me, I know. Believe it or not, PACE asked me to do the job before I got deployed. I refused. Of course, there were some... problems, but I overcame them. And Lydia..." Ben said, smiling at her. "You've saved my life... 7, 8 times now? I can always forgive you." He quickly dove forward and gave Lydia a hug, not giving her a chance to recoil. "Sorry, I'm a hugger."

Lydia returns the hug, "Thank you, but you don't really understand... PACE didn't ask me to do this or offer me money, they intentionally made me even more powerful than you can see... This suit is an inhibitor for my powers, and if I ever stop working for them they'll turn it off... You've seen what I can do to electronics just by being nearby right? Well picture that happening to humans too..."

Well picture that happening to humans too..."

Ben gagged, thinking of people ripping apart like electronics. "Wait... so they're controlling you?!" Ben said, looking angry. "And if you disobey, they'll either kill you, shut you down, or overpower you?" Ben made a fist. "Those... those bastards..." He shook his head. "I'm sorry... just... you're important to me..." Ben sighed and blushed a little. "Well... anyways... how do we stop this?"

 

(Hey, is Lydia wearing a suit?)

(Hey, is Lydia wearing a suit?)

(Yeah, she's wearing civilian clothes, with a nanosuit underneath. She's not wearing any sort of armour, so if something hits her she's basically dead...)

Lydia nods, "Yeah, they can't shut me down, and they can't kill me by draining me, but the moment this suit turns off I'll basically become a field of electric death for anyone near me... I don't know what we can do, but we're smart right? I'm sure we can come up with something..."

"Yeah.. we're smart..." Ben shuddered. "I.. I... I just don't want to see you get hurt..." Ben said, looking into Lydia's eyes. He grasped her right hand. "We're going to stop Hawthorne... and, hopefully, not get anyone shocked to death in the process..." Ben made a smile, and pecked Lydia on the cheek. Realizing what he had just done, his cheeks burned up and he slapped himself. "Oh gosh, I'm sorry... that just came out..."

Lydia shrugs, "It's ok, just ask next time alright? As for not getting anyone killed in the process, do you have any ideas? I don't want to keep working for Hawthorne, but I don't have any experience in engineering and this suit is a lot more complicated than I can figure out."

Hank walked off as he looks st the ground "I need to get more weapons.. but.. its all outside.. hardly any here.." he muttered as he hits himself "come on hank. Think." He smiles "well. I guess I can show rocket." He rushed to rocket as he ran into the throne room and bumps into rocket

 

(Edited cause that's all I can do now. Man I never get any action)

"Is it... like... stuck?" Ben made a peculiar face. "Scratch that. Well, first off, may I see it? I'm sure that would be a good first step, right? And how did they originally put it on you?" Ben shook his head. "I KNEW I should've taken engineering, I KNEW IT!" He screamed at the sky.

Lydia shrugs, "I put it on by choice, it was better than killing everyone around me. I wish I had taken engineering too, but the past is the past right? I guess you can see it." She takes off her shirt, revealing an intricate grey bodysuit with blue veins crisscrossing the entire thing.

"I guess that is a better choice..." Ben closely inspected the veins. "Well, so much for cutting the yellow wire..." He grabbed a rod coated in rubber from his bag. "Ever since I started hanging around you..." Ben gently prodded the suit with the rod, sending a strange impulse up and down the suit. "Hmmm... I wonder what that did..."

Lydia flicks her hands, sending a cascade of sparks from her hands that dissipate after a few feet, "I don't know... Whatever you did, I feel more powerful now. I felt something else as well, but it doesn't seem to have any lasting effect that I can feel. Do I look any different?"

"Umm... well... there is now a VERY menacing electricity field around it... I think I activated the security system. Greeeeat." Ben attempted to poke the suit again, but was met with a strong bolt of electricity. "Aghagdhahshghsdghsgdhsgahd!" Ben screamed, getting shocked. "Ow. Okay... poking things isn't good. Hm... I may have something in here..."

Lydia gives Ben a worried look, "Are you alright? I, I didn't even feel a drain this time... That looked like it hurt though, so I guess whatever you did weakened the dampener in the suit. I don't think you activated the security system though, I don't think you would be alive if you did..."

"Well, despite this rushing in my heart and this AWFUL hairdo, I'm fine. Right, right, the whole 'rips you to pieces' thing." Ben retrieved a heavy glove, with a strong rubber coating around it. He put it on, and typed in some things on some of the buttons on the glove. The glove expanded, growing up, encasing the rest of his arm. "There we go..." Ben smiled. He reached out and touched the suit. A strong impulse traveled throughout Lydia's body, but the 'armor' protected Ben. He attempted to grab part of the suit, pulling it a little. "What do you feel right now?"

Lydia flinches, "It feels like the entire suit is trying to fight back against you, and it's going to keep putting more power into fighting back until that fancy gadget of yours is nothing but a cloud of atoms and you are deep fried... What about you, are you getting any information out of this?"

"Well, I've noticed that it seems to send all these frequencies up towards your brain. What do you feel when I pull on it, though?" Ben gave the suit a little tug, making the suit pull forwards a little. "I know this sounds crazy... but could you possibly... I don't know... control it with your mind?"

Ben gave the suit a little tug, making the suit pull forwards a little. "I know this sounds crazy... but could you possibly... I don't know... control it with your mind?"

Lydia shrugs, "It feels like you're tugging at my skin, but a bit more distant. Like I've been sedated a bit, but you're trying to tear at my skin. What do you mean control it with my mind? I don't think it works like that, but if you give me a bit more information I can at least try."

"Just... I don't know... try to tell it what to do? Try to, maybe, exert some force? Push out?" Ben looked at the suit, with dubious eyes. "I would pull on this more, but I don't want to hurt you..." He cringed for a moment, and then looked at Lydia. "I... I'm going to touch it. With my bare hand."

Lydia gives Ben a look of fear, "W-why are you going to touch it? The last time you even got near it it almost killed you! I don't know if I can control it enough to stop that from happening again..." she raises her hand, and the suit's sleeve starts to extend over her hands, forming a pair of gloves, "I guess I can control its shape, but I don't know what else I can do with it."

"Okay, Lydia, calm down. Do you trust me? I want you to say that you trust me. Any negative feelings about me have to go away now. Now, one of two things could happen. I could either get electrocuted, and die, or, I might be able to transfer some electricity through myself. But you HAVE to trust me." Ben took off his glove. "Whenever you shock someone, your brain becomes more active. If you're calm, the suit is calm, if you're angry, the suit is angry. If you're scared, the suit is scared."

Lydia sighs and closes her eyes, "I... I trust you. I know you wouldn't do something this stupid if you didn't think it had at least a chance of making things better, and I know that the chance of you pulling off this stunt is close to zero, but I trust you anyway..."

"Thank you. I would kiss you right now, In fear of dying, but I don't want to trigger anything, so... yeah." Ben said. He reached his hand out. "Now... if I can just..." Ben kept reaching his hand out, stopping about an inch away from the suit. The sparks were gone, and nothing was jumping out at Ben. "Here goes nothing..." He reached forward, touching the suit...

Lydia continues to stand perfectly still, calm but slightly fearful of what will happen, "I, I think it's working..." She whispers, as if worried that speaking at full volume will cause the suit to realize what's going on and react, "It-it's working... I can't believe it worked..."

"Shhhh... don't trigger anything..." Ben said, with his eyes closed. He now had his full hand on the suit, and could feel all the energy draining out, through his hand. After about 3 minutes, the power began to fade. "Lydia... try to do something with the suit..." Ben said. "I think I might have drained it..."

Lydia once again flicks her hand, and looks around with an excited smile when nothing happens, "The suit isn't where I get my powers, I can still feel them in my mind, but it's definitely harmless now... I don't know what happened, but I don't feel the bit of pressure on my mind that I did while PACE was holding me hostage..."

"Wait... does this mean... I'm full of electricity?" Ben asked, feeling bouncier than usual. He flicked like Lydia did, and a small zap of electricity flew out of his hand. "Wow, that's interesting!" He then looked back at Lydia. "So, should we try to take it off now?" Ben asked, looking excited.
