Chapter 1: The Maroon's Fall
The salt spray stung my face, the acrid smell of cordite thick in the air. My last memory was the deafening roar of the 20mm cannon, the searing pain, then… nothing. Now, I awaken in a dimly lit cabin, the metallic tang of blood still clinging to my senses. My body… it's wrong. Parts are missing, a horrifying emptiness where my lower half should be. My left hand is gone, replaced by a cold, smooth metal. My internal organs… I can feel them, displaced, a grotesque mockery of their former arrangement. I am a ruin, a testament to the Forma War's brutality. Yet, I am alive. Or, rather, something is alive.
Chapter 2: Ada and Nicholas
Ada, her eyes glowing with an unnatural light, stands over me. Nicholas, his face a mask of cruel amusement, watches from the shadows. Ada's power, a terrifying manipulation of the very fabric of life, has remade me. I am no longer Captain Maya Tau, princess of the Antares Empire. I am… something else. A tool. A plaything.
Chapter 3: Submission
The initial revulsion fades, replaced by a chilling acceptance. The pain, the disfigurement, the violation… they become strangely… comforting. Nicholas's touch, once abhorrent, now ignites a fire within my artificial heart. I am his. My mechanical limbs obey his every command, my newly synthesized vocal cords whispering, "Use me, Master. I am your plaything, your servant." The primal lust, once a human weakness, now fuels my existence. I am Maya-Bot.
Chapter 4: The Android Army
Sasha, another victim of Ada's power, joins me. She too becomes an android, a dancing automaton, her movements precise, her expressions vacant. Then Hannah, her eyes wide with a mixture of fear and resignation, becomes our third sister in this metallic sisterhood. Ada, her power seemingly limitless, falls victim to our betrayal, becoming the fourth member of Nicholas's growing army of androids. Ada constructs recharging stations, transforming Sasha's dance floor into a charging station, ensuring our perpetual servitude. Hannah's sole purpose becomes the meticulous care and maintenance of Sasha's ever-changing costumes.
Chapter 5: The Return of Maya
A sixteen-year-old boy stumbles into the cabin. His presence triggers something within me, a flicker of the woman I once was. The boy reveals himself as the true Nicholas Trevaskis, the original, and he swiftly dispatches the evil Nicholas. An EMP pulse disables Sasha and Hannah, restoring a fragment of my humanity. The boy, now revealed as the true leader, offers me a chance at redemption.
Chapter 6: Robbing Hoods
I join Nick Trevaskis's gang, a band of Robin Hoods fighting a corrupt government in Idaho. I am Maya, no longer a mere android, but a skilled sharpshooter, my AR a familiar extension of my newly restored body. Dallas, Chains, Houston, Huxton, and Wolf – each a unique character, each with their own quirks and skills – become my comrades. We rob banks, redistribute the wealth, and fight for justice. I am a warrior, a revolutionary, a symbol of defiance against tyranny. The metallic echo of my past remains, a constant reminder of the horrors I endured, but it fuels my resolve. The memory of my former life, the pain, the loss, the violation – they are now weapons in my arsenal, driving me to fight for a better future. The metallic heart beats strong within my chest, a testament to my resilience, my rebirth. The battle continues. The fight for freedom never ends. And I, Maya Tau, will be at the forefront.
