>>DECRYPTING NEURACHIP SYSCOM MESSAGE<<

[>>You are unit 10XT.]

[Directives are as follows for the Neurachip's protection]

[>>1:PROTECT the Neurachip from capture or destruction at ALL costs.]

[>>2:PRESERVE the Neurachip's ENGRAM.]

[>>3:EVACUATE the Neurachip from the City]

10XT gasps softly as he awoke-

The scientist draws his attention with a few snaps.

"Look,10XT,i dont have time to explain so I'll keep it simple."

*BANG*

"You need to get my neural chip out of the city. I dont care how,because the FCPD is hunting me out for designs like you."

*BANG BANG*

"Run. Run like your life depends on it..." The scientist said. 10XT nods,and starts making his exit.

*BASH!!*

*CRACK!!*

*SPLINTER!!*

Heavily armored police rush in,to find the scientist alone,with a shotgun directed to his head,"One step closer,and im going to splatter the brains you need all over this wall." He said.

The police froze almost...

"Hey now....Take it easy...We just want to talk..." The leading officer said.

" 'Talk' huh? Is this about my prototype? My son?" The scientist asked.

"Yes,sir it is." The leading officer responds.

"Leave now,and you can do the paperwork of a missing person's case. Stay,and you'll see how much of a crazy genius I really can be."

Slowly,the policemen edge toward the exit...

Wether he was bluffing or not,they didn't want to test the risk.

"Thats right,nice and easy..."

Just as the police reach the door,the scientist squeezed the trigger of the shotgun threateningly,maintaining eye contact.

"Officer 34D we have a 10-56A-502..." The lead officer reports.

"Elaborate..?"

"The Target's prototype is missing,and it looks like They're threatening suicide." 34D said.

"Leave the scientist alone and chase the prototype. We have reports of it leaving the building."

"Copy that."

*BOOM*

The lead Officer's head was suddenly missing,as the scientist chambers a fresh slug. "No,you're not." He said.

As the gunfight began upstairs,10XT was sprinting down the road as fast as he could.

Bystanders and drivers gawk at the naked machine as it sprints down the sidewalk,weaving between people,leaping over cars,and mantling over any obstacle that got in the way.

A Riot truck intercepts,forcing 10XT to run the other direction,to be blocked by two police cars. 10XT slides to a stop,casting sparks and turning tail in the opposite direction,for the road to be closed off by another riot van.

Trapped,the machine raises his fists as police began to pile out of their armored vehicles to surround their target,some with night sticks or stun sticks in hand.

"Give it up,Unknown,you're surrounded!" One of the police shout.

//WARNING:NEURACHIP IN JEOPARDY OF CAPTURE. ACTIVATING SDP\\

10XT suddenly throws a punch knocking down one of the police.

They began attempting to subdue him

The blows from 10XT rang out with deep thumps and pained yells as he smoothly chains between each of his opponents,widening the once tight circle of enforcers. Occasionally he would grab and destroy the night sticks,but quickly leap over the officers armed with Stun sticks or active firearms.

10XT ducks under a stun stick,grabbing it and twisting it out of the user's hands,almost snapping the officer's fingers.

"Please,cease and desist from your chase,or serious injury WILL occur." 10XT requested,holding the stun stick he obtained in self defense.

The police draw their guns,"How about YOU cease and desist first?" An officer demands.

"Im sorry in advance." 10XT said,as he lunged forward,slamming the stun stick into his opponents,some were sent flying,others were knocked out. As the remaining squad attempted to subdue the machine,arms,or legs were broken,until the only one left stood,trembling...

"Cease and desist from your chase." 10XT repeats.

The officer in question passes out from fear..

"That....works too.."

Sirens neared 10XT's position,and so he began running,attempting to avoid intercepting police units. Before long the squad had managed to corner the machine into an alleyway.

Like a cornered animal,10XT began seeking escape.

>>Increases Unit run speed and jump height by increasing muscle density and widening the toes in hoof-type initial stance,and adjusting movement stances to allow for faster movement and higher jumps.

10XT's feet gain a longer cleft between the first two toes and the rest. He looks to the police squad..

"KILL IT!!" An officer said,allowing the rest of the squad to open fire. 10XT took to the walls,

He leaps onto a wall,jumping from surface to surface to get higher,but as he reaches the top,an officer manages to shoot him him n the back as he climbed onto the roof.

The machine yells in pain for a moment,covering the wound and resuming his attempt to flee.

After a few hours of running,being hounded relentlessly by the police force,he takes cover under an awning to assess the damages. The wound gently sparked and fizzled,letting off a mixture of battery fluid and deep blue artificial blood.

-DO NOT ENGAGE

-PRIORITY 0:Evacuate and Protect the Neurachip

10XT sighs softly and resumes running,jumping from roof to roof,the police force hot on his heels down below.

10XT pilfers a pair of black jeans and a grey hoodie,pulling its hood over his head to hide his face.

He descends to the streets again,wary of the police units that were still searching.

After a few hours of wandering aimlessly,he finds a place to settle,an augmentee's shelter.

It reeked of piss and broken dreams,but it'd have to do given his new status of criminal refugee. As he settles down,he accesses the low grade Neuranet connection to start planning a route out of the city.

His research went on for a few hours,to find the city limits were blocked off by an Anti-augmentee firewall,which prevents unmarked Augmentees from leaving,or searching beyond the city..

10XT closes out the Neuranet,and leans forward with a small sigh...

He has a lot of work ahead....
