Great
"'Right, go ahead, then.'" "I found it in the research lab on the fourth floor. It is made up of nanobots," retract. It feels as if I just got out of a pool, yet I am not wet, weird. "Is the sword nanotech also, or…." Yes, it is nanotech, but it has limited times I can downsize it." I can never stop looking, I wish we could…, but no. "Zero are you, all right? You fazed out." Looking into her worry-filled eyes brings me back to the here and now. "Yes Lily, I am fine, just wishfully thinking." "About what?" She's so beautiful. "About what we could be if I wasn't," as I gesture to my mutated half-robot body, "this, and if the virus didn't exist." Her pouting makes me feel as if my heart was being ripped out of my chest, slowly piece by piece. "Why? If things were different, we never would've met; never would've fallen so deeply in love with each other." I just barely manage a smile, "I know it's just…."
"Just what?!" She's mad now. "Just that, even though the world is overrun, there are guys you can still have a family without there." Slap!!! "You are such a moron!" I've never seen her this mad. 'Ow,' rubbing my jaw, even though I barely noticed it. "Lily, I…," "don't you realize it
yet?! I love you and only you."
"I don't care that I can't have kids with you. I don't care that we can't be a normal couple! I don't care!!!" Sniff, snort, snuffle, "I don't care Zero. I just want you, only you." Barely stopping myself from slamming my head into the reinforced walls, "Lily I know, and I'm sorry for saying anything. Huh, I just wish we could live in peace and not worry about the outside."
"Me too." She's still crying? Why? "Why are you still crying?" "Because that peace can't happen. At least, not in this life." Yes. it can, at least for a little while. "Lily, I'm going to clear the base and surrounding area of mutants. After that we… can live in peace here, I know where the reserves are, and from recent data, there's enough for us to live out our whole lives here. Away from everything the world has become."
"Okay, be careful though please." Oh no, it's the puppy-dog-eyes-of-death. "I will Lily, don't worry about me." "I will worry, but I know you won't take any unnecessary risks." I love you, Lily, you be safe too. "Be safe Lily, open faster, "and I love you," keep going, don't look back, at least until it is completely safe for her. 'DIS what is my next quest?' Here it is Decimator, your thoughts have also opened a side quest. Ding, ding, ding!! New quest available. Would you like to see both or one of the two? 'Both, please.'

Why is only floor five clear? Unusual, but nonetheless, I will deal with it. 'Dis set side quest as my objective.' "'Set.'" Second floor? Great, I can work my way up and deal with all of that mess first. 'My blood is this slow acting of a contagion?' "'Yes actually, that is the main reason why the Russians used you and not some other random mutant.'" 'Makes sense….' Those were some nasty virogens. "'They were normal strength virogens.'" 'I know that they just were much more mangled than any of the others before.' "'That is true….'" Ding, ding, ding you have leveled up!

Now to find out why?… There's no needle, no fall marks, no reason to say how a bag on this floor would burst. Good thing my blood is a slow-acting contagion, which gave Lily time to get past. Still no reason thou… where's Dr. Setrovich's body? I knew it was here on my way down, where is it now? Great another mutant to deal with on my way back.
Slash! There goes another head. 'DIS about how many enemies left till this floor is clear?' "'Around five are left on this floor. I don't know if it is more or less since I am unable to mark all enemies as of now.'" 'Understood DIS, and thanks.' You have leveled up. 'Thanks, Dis for the heads up.'
