The mechanical door hissed open as Steve, the surviving constructs and the now dead Jose walked in, they were clearly battle damaged. Alec collapsed as soon as he stepped In, exhausted from going into overdrive but Faj was fast enough to catch him and usher him to a couch. Chloe was out on Steve's arm, the screen lit up revealing the board members "they were stronger than we anticipated but still, the blast that caused a blinding explosion killed most of the live feed. We could barely make out what's happening but report" a member said, "5 of us are now dead, Chloe might not even survive this, and one of us has defected—" Steve wasn't done when the middle member cut in, "defected?"Steve starting to get angry said "they might not mean anything to you but they sure as hell did to us, they were my kind. You sent us out to battle for what? All you've done was prove them right, maybe he was right to switch sides". "That's a shame" the middle man said as the screen cut off.
Percy was in his office pacing around when the screen lit up, "I thought the Nbl was in place, they just said one of them defected. How's that possible?" The middle member asked angrily. "Yeah, it's in place. You ordered them to attack even though they refuted they still did. The Nbl just acts like first instinct, when you give them an ORDER, they can refuse it but when the Nbl comes in, it's like their instinct to obey and do it so they do. Whether they like it or not but it's not completely fool proof, they can break out of it with intense clarification, emotional clarity or trauma, essentially something joltin-" "AND YOU DIDN'T THINK TO MENTION ANY OF THIS?" a member cut in before Percy could finish, "I've done what you wanted, you gave the order still, leave my family out of this. I said not to make them attack, you've booked first class tickets to war, call back your agents. I'm done with this." Percy snapped back.—————————————————————Bobby, Evan, Beric, Jones and Kyle made their way back to the workshop. The metal door shut behind them as they entered. Evan turned to him "Why did you do that?" he asked. "I mean you further proved my point, but why in lord's name would you do that and cause all that commotion". Bobby stood still for a moment facing away before answering."we didn't want to, I was strongly against it…I'd rather not talk about it or relive it"
Beric frowned. "You turned on the people you were fighting for, what exactly is your next move then?" Bobby looked at them all. "You know, I understand you. You're clearly something different from an awakener and like me, we're superior. Why are we letting the government try to control us, even the board they call themselves" Jones folded his arms. "He's kinda got a point" "see? And before you say anything, The board literally made me…us." Evan raised an eyebrow "what do you mean made you?". Bobby's jaw tightened. "You see we were normal human's then they got the idea to create weapons, Awakeners to fight other Awakeners incase they went rogue but so we wouldn't go rogue as well, they put something on us, it makes us obey every order, I managed to break out due to pure rage and my ego I'd say, we were 10 and the battle probably took out most of us, so if they created us what makes you think they'll stop there? They'll create more. Bobby took a step forward. "I say we put an end to that, You want to send a message?" His eyes locked onto Evan. "Then let's wipe them out." The room fell still. "The board, heroes, the entire government but maybe we should start with the Board." Jones leaned against a steel table, arms folded. "Yeahh…Can't lie, this all sounds personal. "It is personal," Bobby replied sharply. "It should be for all of you."

Evan's group arrived at the facility, to try and recruit the remaining constructs, "something's not right, I think the board's here today, in person. They usually conversed through a screen but if they're here it's the perfect opportunity to wipe them out."
-BREACHED BREACHED BREACHED- an alarm was ringing out but before they could react the main door was frozen and shattered open. "Just as I expected they're actually here, this'll make things easier" Evan's group walked in, "it's them. CONSTRUCTS, protect us" the board members screamed.
