Chapter 26: America – Land of Main-Character Syndrome

  Well - looking at the holos that showed both the code & various charts extrapoted from the performance of the holo light-shield - the results were not very promising. I was a little gd that the issue wasn’t fully due to me not cheg that my work to standard, however at the same time it made things more problematic to fix. There were still some small errors in the code that I discovered due to bing through it. That was all they were though; small little mistakes that just proved I should really utilise my cheg-based skills more.From what I mao pull out of the charts, as well as opening it up with what I learhrough surgery procedures, the ehing was basically a mess. I thought the worst case sario would be the power source was not able to keep up with what was needed. Certainly a tough situation to be in but not one I ot think of a few situations to solve. It would not be easy but there would be some fixes like redug the portability a bit by increasing the size to incorporate something a little higher grade. Otherwise I could make something akin to a backpaake it easier to carry around - at least for my paramilitary group.Unfortuhat hope of portability was pletely hopeless for now; a realisation whie to just the holopad & useless ball across the room.“Maybe I should just release some Neoschluss gas on this shitty try…” A not terrible idea I voiced out was met by one of my various guards clearing their throat from behind their helmet. Our parents saw it fit that we buff up security around all of them, whicluded myself, in hopes to prevent any more risks.As such I had been watched around the clock by a group of heavily armoured individuals who had been equipped with the best gear I supply. This included high-tech rifles that had blue lihat hummed with electricity with a matte bck finish upon the body; those puppies easily being able to shoot through aire block to hit their target. Best part was the limited damage iry as well as exit - of course they also needed a fitting scope to go with that ability. Just some simple eleisory pulse sight. Their armour was also not any less advanced as they were top of the line as far as power armour went (just oep below being mech if I was being humble) with a fiic chassis that had a polygonal structure just like their ons. After st night I finally vinced my mother to let me out of the hospital room; I was still located in the hospital but they had at least offered me some unused offi the top floor.It was actually the ander of the group who interrupted me as I sat at the desk fag the window due to liking a view as I worked. To denote his rank, he had red stripes on his chest piece with every extra stripe essentially meaning one rank higher, a simple system I liked. Additionally they also had the logo of their particur squad upon the helmet; specially they had a bob-cat making them bob-cat squad.Reason for putting it on the helmet & chest? If you lose those armour parts you have already lost your life so not really much point in b identifying the particurs.He crouched down to retrieve the two items I had chucked behind myself - also resulting in him shoving off the 4 stripes upon his chest. Heading over to me furthermore he began to speak up. “Boss, we haven’t sweeped the room fs, please treat any information as being cssified in case we have some people who do not care about risking their lives.”Not that he was the only person who spoke up.“I thought she would be feelier after a night out.”“You know the boss, she is feeling way better, else she would have thrown that out the window.”“Think you mean she would throw it at the window and it would bounce back at her.”“Her physical abilities do ly match up with her mental or shooting abilities…”Even if mother & daddy po use these people to keep me under watch, clearly, they had overlooked one very obvious fact. I very much meant “I supply”. These elite paramilitaries were from Furstin thus their payslip teically came from my pocket not daddy or mother’s. That also meant they were more aware of my goings on; even as brilliant as I was it was best not to risk hiding 24/7.Especially when these paramilitaries were the ones watg over the sites where I had my various instruments of war in development. Many of those instruments end in their hands. Although they hadn’t said anything about it - they likely had a good idea where I went when they let me leave. Especially in the mahat I left.This team was also the one I brought with me when I first took part in a tour; they did such a good job tag that kid that I just had t them to America.“Well you should have checked, captains, afterall I am currently looking into one of our more important items to try to discover the problems with it!” So I pined with an exaggerated sigh; aggressively taking the two devices back from the captain. “Where is that overzealous stist?” From what I uood - the wires meant to deliver power had been pletely overloaded to the point steam came out when I ope up - it likely broke due to its pact size. My previously believed “worst case” was also seemingly true from the bck box data. This meant that the portability point could be thrown out the window despite how useful it could have been for me. I may be able to incorporate it into the Silver Knight project, though… I couldn’t be sure.It annoyed me now but at the end of the day I was not an engineer. I had a lot of uandiheless I could hardly pare to people who had gohrough all the unnecessary training like that excitable brat. He seemed so eager when I woke up however I had been uo find him ever since he got kicked out of my room.“... He got kicked out, boss…” That made me tilt my head in fusion. Turning to the armoured helm of the captain. “I know he got kicked out of the hospital but he ’t have just vanished from the city.”“No… He apparently didn’t get his visa any identification so he got deported back to Germany as soon as he stepped outside of the hospital. America has this massive focus on having their civs stantly identify themselves and our… Friendly doctor didn’t take too kindly to it.” Even without his face visible I could tell he was feeliremely nervous and food reason as well.I issed.“I’m leaving.” Saying so, voice absolutely calm as if to not reveal any of my iurmoil, I stood up from the table while throwing what I had in my hands into a shopping bag I used t them earlier. My guards were surprised at my sudden excmation. Quickly following behind me as I went towards the elevator that relied on some simple vacuum tube teology.What they were surprised at was that I clicked the button for the vehicle garage on floor 25th instead of where my room was supposed to be. Captain of course being the oo voice his fusion. “Boss, I think you actally pressed the wrong button. your room is on the 42nd floor if you fot.”“I told you I’m leaving, I don’t mean the office, I mean from this godforsaken try!” Stopping my little foot on the ground while beginning to gnash my teeth together - a set of as that got my guards to tense up within their power-armour. Looking amongst themselves due to clearly not knowing how to deal with my tantrum but I didn’t care about that. Looking in the mirror upon the roof of the elevator revealed my cute little face with a pair ht pink eyes that sched up cutely due to my anger.A picture that got me to calm down slightly. Turning my gaze, instead, down to my little palms that I could not help iing as if to find some trace of blood dying them. Yet I found nothing. Thinking about how easy it was to take a life with these little pairs of hands - how I felt at taking aerson from this mortal coil - I felt… Not an ounce of shame nor anything that could be called ‘bad’.The only thing I felt is the same immeisfa that could easily make ending someone's existence more addig than any drug I was made to traffic during my st life. I was never hesitant about usih to further my goals - my first kill was on that fat bastard which was followed up shortly after by my own pathetid. This was different though.“B-boss?” That frightened, questioning, tone brought me from my musing to look toward the mirror adorned ceiling once more. I found myself quite surprised with what I saw - I thought I was better at keeping my expression but I suppose some of my mommy had indeed rubbed off on me. Readjusting my expression only took a sed and with that I looked back toward my guards with a far calmer mind than before. “It is overly suspicious that a police force just so happeo run into one particur man, ected to us directly as an employee, as soon as he left our preview. To me it stinks as they were trying to find some dirt they use to try to get themselves out of trouble only to find themselves with a bigger problem due to the massive breach that happe night in the FBI.”“So they decided to try to avoid making another enemy by using his ck of paper as the issue and send him off with a pat on the back…” Thankfully it seemed that I did not waste my money on idiots.They were also smart enough to not mentiohoughts on who caused the supposed “massive breach” that happeo the Ameris st night. As such, I began to tinue, a mog smirk appearing on my cute face. “This try - as be seen from briefly looking at their history and as within it - has always had some form of main-character syndrome. Having the obviously false notion ingrained in them from young that as long as something bes them it is ‘for the greater good’ evehey kill hundreds of thousands of on fn soil for some sticky bck fluid.”Lifting my hands in a shrug.“There is nothing this try even offer us sirust my own doore than the quacks who said ‘everything looks normal’ when looking at my ck of a heart.” Getting somewhat of a chuckle from the guards who followed behind me. Having access to top-grade medical equipment allowed me to uand that my body was more akin to a balloon made to look like a human than a huma’s just get to the car… I’ll call mother & daddy to vihem t me to a German hospital at the very least.” Plus I should move up the proposal of projeew world” with the supernatural all but firmed in this world.Plus I have some iing ideas for my findings…
