She paused after he left. She needed to recollect herself before moving on Griffon again. She needed much greater firepower. Her last move was rash, and had nearly cost her her life. As it was, it took even more of her dwindling humanity. She saw her long black hair in the mirror and stroked it...
She perched on the corner of the bed, and waited for Shaun or his representatives. One lesson she had learned in her short time in Eluvian is that there were no true free agents. There were too many malicious forces here who swirled around, and there was too much money at stake to assume...
The room looked safe, if not excessively sterile. If nothing else, it was private. She hadn't had time to grasp the implications, but she assumed Shaun would want something in return. She may have to subordinate her mission to destroy Griffon and take over his syndicate. For now she still needed...
Her face was inches from the troll as he spoke. She smiled and began to respond when another explosion sent them sky high, blowing the troll into pieces. She fell nearly 30 feet, pieces of brick and wood resting on top of her. Her sensors told her that her systems were critically damaged, and...
Her left arm started to malfunction, likely from the heat of the blast, leaving her with one arm. The troll approached her swinging his charged baton and she stepped back into a defensive pose. It swung wildly at her, angered by her defiance. She felt her mind processing his patterns, and after...
The explosion caught her by surprise. She didn't think Griffon knew her location. The blast threw her across the room, and flames scorched her left side. She recovered to see two trolls crawling through the hole in the window. She dropped the first one quickly with a shot to the head, but lost...

She placed the troll in pieces through the market of Eluvian, leaving his head prominently displayed in front of a bar trafficked by Griffon's men. She thought leaving the unfinished cigarette in his mouth was a nice touch. Almost artistic by the brutal standards of this place...
A slight smile spread across her cold, pale face. She was liberated now, and had a chance to build her career here. But first, she had something to take care of - the destruction of Griffon's syndicate and the death of everyone who aided him. She had a special treat planned for the butcher.
The question went unanswered as the Robots accessed her software, and she snapped into a deep, dreamless sleep. Her last thoughts were spent trying to distinguish the furious chatter from the robots filing into the room, and hoping they had better intentions than Griffon and his Butcher. Nearly...
"I augmented my arm shortly after I moved to Eluvian. I needed to equip myself to work as a bounty hunter. I thought that was enough. When I ran into that group of trolls, I think it sparked the idea. I was vulnerable, and they overpowered me and took me to this vile chop shop. That's how I...
She let out a tinny scream as they loaded her into the helicopter, but it was muffled by the ship's engines. She was paralyzed by the restraints in the craft, and spent her time cursing her captors, and cursing Griffon, who she blamed as the source of her troubles. The robots said nothing, but...
He pulled away and voices infiltrated her head again. She could hear Griffon chuckling, and the butcher behind him shouting. She was going to face intense pain after this, if they even decided to let her live. When they wanted her to suffer, they turned off her augments, and let the remaining...
"I've already accepted that the augments can't be removed. They're my life support now. I just need to remove Griffon's access so I can have my life back."
She paused, then still laying on the ground, told Shaun the magic words: "I'll pay".
"Now that you mention it, yeah, you could. These bastards are in my head and in my body. I need someone who can turn them off, or extricate whatever it is they put in me. I can hear their voices all the time, and they can stun me and probably kill me if they wish. I'm begging you."
This...
Kaitlyn didn't have time to be polite, so she extracted her claws, and plunged them into the side of the building, climbing up quickly.
An agitated man ran out and screamed at her, which she ignored. She reached the roof to see Shaun standing there impatiently.
"Shaun, it's been a while. I...

Kaitlyn saw a bike she recognized, and decided to disregard Griffon's order. She hoped Shaun would remember her, even though their alliance had been brief.
Noise rattled in her head as she tried to digest the situation. Did he ever have a quiet, peaceful moment? When did this...
