Chapter 1: KIA?
Intro - music: Don't Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult
----------------------------------------------------------
Nene decided to make sure she wouldn't be missed from work.
Mega-Tokyo was a big city and walking somewhere could take
days. Making her way over to a phone booth she used her suit to
plug directly into the phone to bypass the camera and hack into
it to use as computer access. Her first thought upon accessing
the AD police mainframe was that she'd gotten in too easily.
Checking her ice on the system she found she was able to crack
it without trying. Curious about this ease she tried something
she'd never be able to hack, USSD mainframe. Within seconds she
had master sysop access. Checking all the security systems for
alerts of entry got nothing. She was in and no one noticed,
also according to the readouts she wouldn't be.
Nene was brought back to reality by a splitting headache. Spots
danced before her eyes from the pain. Clutching her head she
let out a soft groan and still plugged into the phone booth
slumped to the ground.
***
Nene awoke lying on the ground. A flashing light on her HUD
reading search and download complete. Querying the search
brought up a huge list. Nene's eyes widened when she
realized half of these files came from places that she didn't
know existed. The she saw something that was new.
UPGRADE...?
Query. Upgrade what?
UPGRADE. Of all systems and armor to class II
Query. Current class of armor
ARMOR. Currently breached, at 75% of Max -- class .V
Nene gasped as she realized that this 'upgrade' would make her
armor four times better than the armor that was top of the line
of Sylia's.
Query. System status
SYSTEM. Systems nominal
UPGRADE...?
Upgrade. Yes
UPGRADE. Discard extra mass?
Query. Extra mass
UPGRADE. Suit has 50% extra mass
Query. Does extra mass include pilot of suit?
UPGRADE. Negative
Upgrade. Discard extra mass
Nene felt her hardsuit shift around her and then suddenly she
felt as if her skin was on fire.
Collapsing from the pain, again she fainted.
***
Nene woke with a clarity of mind she had never known. Looking
down at herself and her new suit. She blushed. Her suit looked
as if she was wearing a purple and red spandex suit.
All her curves and details laid out for the world to see. It
was modest in the fact that everything was covered but it left
very little to the imagination. Extra armor covered her
chest, crotch and shoulders. Her helmet had been streamlined
and the array of antennae and such on her back was gone. Nene
wondered where her boosters had gone but figured that
worrying about that could be done later.

Newport City, Japan..
***
An entity formerly known as two names sensed the activity of
another of their kind. Checking the tracks of the new one. The
trail led to a phone booth in Mega-Tokyo
A small girl awoke in her bedroom and sat up. Looking around
she moved to the edge of the bed and stood up. Picking up a
small bag on her way out the girl left.

Mega-Tokyo, Japan..

Nene decided that walking would only take a few hours to get to
the Silky Doll from there she could get Sylia's or Mackie's
help. As she walked Nene went over her new suits
abilities and new limitations. The ECM suite had been good
before. Now Nene was sure she could hack into any system and
create a jamming so good that it would block out two city
blocks around her. The armor not only was better but also
somehow better designed. The joints and such were almost as
well armored as the main sections. Somehow the armor flowed
when she bent any of her joints. Then she noticed a new option
among the evasion jamming. Thermo-optic camouflage.
Query. Thermo-optic camouflage
SYSTEM. renders suit invisible to most visual sensors and all
thermal sensors
Nene had heard that some companies had been working on this
type of camouflage, but none had an actual working prototype.
Experimenting with it she found that her body faded out and
would blur around the edges so that she could still see where
her hands and feet were. Looking in a passing mirror she looked
as if there was a pair of gloves with a tarp floating down the
street. Experimenting with it more Nene found to her delight
that the color scheme of her hardsuit wasn't fixed. Altering it
back to the original scheme Nene walked onward.

Taras drove her car along the freeway in Mega-Tokyo. To her
knowledge she was still unique as a species. Her birth as one
may call it was almost fated. Whereas an accidental merge was
nearly unheard of. Pulling onto the off ramp she turned the
car down a side street and stopped at the phone booth. Getting
out and checking she found signs of the hack. Her tracking
optics found tracks leading northward. Taras realized that
the trail was only a few hours old. Getting back into her car
she followed the trail. Five blocks later the trail petered
out as rush hour pedestrians obliterated the trail. Cynthia
decided to find a place to stay while in town and monitor for
the new entity's movements. Mega-Tokyo she decided was much
worse with Genom and their grasp of the city but there was much
she didn't want to do that wouldn't call attention to her
existence.
***
It wasn't long before Nene wondered why none of the people on
the street noticed her unusual appearance. It was if she wasn't
even there.
Query. Why are the people around me not able to see me?
SYSTEM. SEP is active do you wish to deactivate?
Query. SEP field?
SYSTEM. Somebody else's problem field renders object
psychologically invisible.
It was during a musing over what new things her suit still had
hidden in it when Nene bumped into a large man.
"Sorry," Nene mumbled and pushed past the man.
The man turned to watch Nene make her way through the crowd on
her way along. Turning he followed.
***
<BGM Look a like by Riu Konaka from Sonic the hedgehog>
SYSTEM. Boomer approaching, ready combat systems.
Query. Boomer?
SYSTEM. Man twenty meters back.
It was then the C-55 boomer split it's skin and went on a
rampage. Running to a nearby alley Nene considered her options.
Query. what weapons systems are available for use?
SYSTEM. one
Query. What weapon is that?
SYSTEM. micro-plasma inducer.
Query. clarify
SYSTEM. plasma machine gun
Query. effectiveness against boomer c-55 armor?
SYSTEM. medium to high.
Query. effectiveness depends on?
SYSTEM. amount of times target hit.
Query. what would one hit do?
SYSTEM. minimal damage.
Query. rate of fire on inducer?
SYSTEM. 200 spm
Query. Arm inducer and bring targeting online.
SYSTEM. inducer online... power to 100%... targeting....
Nene watched as her left forearm distended slightly and a
muzzle formed near her wrist.
Looking around the corner for the boomer she saw it had ripped
into the side of a nearby building and had decided that the ADP
down the street were more a threat that whatever she could do.
'How dare IT think that!'
Raising her arm she opened up. The small blue bolts ripped
small chunks off the boomers back. It turned and jumped toward
her with its fist drawn back for a punch. Nene involuntarily
took a step backward. A bit of garbage caused her to lose her
balance. With a roar the boomer the boomer swung its fist down
at her. Nene closed her eyes and waited for the pain to start
again. It didn't.
SYSTEM. Target neutralized.
Query. How?
SYSTEM. Main database in boomer head hacked.
The boomer's fist had stopped about a foot from Nene's chest.
It now offered this hand to help Nene to her feet. Nene
reluctantly accepted it and stood up. It was then that a large
blast blew her off her feet and into unconsciousness and the
boomer to component parts.
