Kapitel 6: 5.Gift from the Omnissiah

~2013 Washington DC Pentagon~

It was a normal sunny day as military personnel and office workers went on their day, but at the same time an important meeting was being held in one of the conference rooms.

High ranking generals and military official sat in place at their respective seats around a long oak table. The tense mood caused their aids to shift in discomfort as the eerie silence was suffocating .

"I wonder why they invited a dead beat like you..." spoke an old general finally breaking the silence. Despite his age he still boasted of a healthy body that would make most young people jealous. Multiple medals hang just below his name tag [Lance Mcroy] with a rank patch on his shoulder showing that he was a General.

"At least I have a few years in me to serve my country, at this point I thought the ministry of defense was decorating the armed forces with fossils.." scoffed the addressed party as he leaned back in his chair maintaining eye contact with the general who looked ready to commit murder.

"Lieutenant General Simon sir…"spoke up a brave agent who saw it best to brake off the fight before it even began, " I've received word that the president has just landed so it would be best if we all go over the details one last time before the president arrives."

The Lt general only fixed his gaze on the person talking, taking a moment to read her badge and seeing as she was CIA simply nodded and turned away looking through documents as if nothing happened.

"Okay,so I want to make sure everyone is on the same page,the documents have already been sent to the president so that's why I'm allowed to give this short brief." spoke up the female agent as she moved connecting a usb drive to the monitor at the end of the room.

"I'm sure all of you are aware of the PMC company that cropped up 3 years back,they are involved in most conflicts by now it would be hard not to notice them." the agent said as she changed the slide to various pictures depicting different facilities and how their soldiers dressed.

"I remember them,the WW1 LARPERS that we sent to the Middle East right…" commented one official as he took a closer look at the file he was given.

"Yes and apart from our first initial assessment of them they seem to be much more than any regular pmc we are used to dealing with ." the agent said gesturing to her work colleague who began distributing other files.

"We once thought Lex Luthor was the one who owned it but we've uncovered evidence there is a second party involved." the slides shifted showing secret pictures taken by high tech cameras from a drone showing Lex Luthor talking to someone in his office but due to the long distance the shot was taken,it wasn't all that clear.

"So they call themselves, 'Astra Militarum Auxilia'…."

"Meaning the auxiliary imperial guards"interpreted another agent , "It's Latin.." he added.

Just then the doors swung open and the president and his retenue walked in.

"Ladies and gentlemen ,I won't waste your time we have a major issue at hand.." sighed the President as he took his seat taking a file handed to him.

"Which oil Barron do we need to take down…" Said one official with a serious face before all the room burst into laughter even garnering a snicker from the president. They were all aware of the inner meaning of that statement .

"As much as I want to liberate some oil fields,this requires more attention." he gestured to the agent who loaded a video.

"One of our sleeper agent managed to send as this video before we lost contact with him."

The room went silent as the video played.The said agent could be scene walking around what seemed to be a normal factory with workers going on with their various activities.

"He's using the new spy glasses we got from LexCorp…" commented one agent at the end of the room.

That's when after skipping some part of the video the agent walked through a door down a long tunnel coming to a steel door with a scanner.

"Our agent was inserted as a sleeper agent at the PMC since it's beginning and luckily he managed to gain a high enough position allowing him some access."

The agent in the video placed his hand in the scanner and after some time a buzz was heard and the heavy doors swung open revealing an even deeper set of stairs.

Skipping more of the video revealed a huge underground facility with scientists and heavily armed guards different to the ones they are used to, standing motionless at different parts watching over the scene.

Someone walked over to the secret agent and greeted him with a nervous smile,that's when a huge shadow was seen.Before the agent could turn to see who or what it was or even allow the secret camera to get a glimpse of it,a cold metallic hand held his head holding him in place.

"You've outlived your usefulness now,I have an offer,you see that machine there.."the camera seemed to unnaturally zoom towards a glowing blue machine connected with multiple wire enclosed in a glass frame controlled by the figure. "Imagine if you could produce the same energy a nuclear reactor can minus the radiation and the potential fallout,or maybe if configured correctly it can work as a clean bomb that can level Washington in an instant. And still let you plant a tree to commemorate for every successful KIA" said the figure giving of a small laugh that came out as unnatural.

"I already offered the Russians and the Chinese,better move fast." Immediately the video cut and the room fell into a deeper silence.

"Let's nuke that facility…"

Everyone was shocked at what general Macroy had suggested as even to them that was too much of a drastic decision.

Seeing the looks he was getting,he explained himself, " I don't like offers from figures we don't know or being offered tech we don't understand,too many variables and if we can't get it no one can."

"I knew you were going senile but even this is too much."laughed Lt General Simon but due to the serious nature of the conversation he calmed himself bringing the room to silence.

The president finally spoke up, "We can't use nuclear weapons as the video was traced to a remote region in Romania,that would cause a whole set of problems." Sighed the president as he truly contemplated replacing the old general.

"And we already have confirmed movement from both the Chinese and Russians." The agent added playing various intercepted calls from both parties.

"Then let's just offer him something and have him move his operations to the US,we have much too offer."chimed in another official

~Gotham~

In the meantime the subject of all this discussion is as in a classical manor in the outskirts of Gotham

~image~

Classical music played as figures dressed as maids and butlers walked around but if observed closely would see their emotionless eyes, a slight side effect of the cloning procedure Ignatius had been using but to him it was not a problem as he saw emotion as weakness even if he sometimes was clouded by it.

Ignatius himself was finishing work on a cybernetic body built modeled after a human thus allowing him to walk among the denizens more freely.

"Cognis,play Lacrymosa.."Ignatius ordered as he stepped away from the shell of a body he had created.His initial purpose was to create a spare body he could transfer his brain when this body finally failed but during his work he was lost in knowledge even he didn't know he knew. He figured it must have been because of his time in the votex but who is he to refuse knowledge irregardless of the source,he lived for it.

He walked to a command chair[it's literally like the mobius chair brainiac uses minus the over the top functions but still slight OP]

~image~

"Connect to interface"

{Omnissiah protects}

Cables glided down from various slots of the chair and connected with Ignatius plunging him into the Cognis framework.

Willing the network to connect with the cybernetic body he felt as if he was controlling a body from a third person prospective but at the same time as he looked around he could still see through the cyborgs body.

Thanks to all the augments he had placed in this body, the human like appearance was modeled after a being he once saw in Terra making it look like an imposing being.

~image~

"Adamantium body with ceramite weaved Sufi skin,I can give the Astertes a run for their money." Ignatius said elated as he observed his body using the various augmentation such as the high definition lenses in his conea which switched from different modes such as x-ray,infrared camera e.t.c

Disconnecting from the cyborg it went limp as Ignatius transferred his consciousness back to his main body. Minutes later a group of soldiers accompanied by a well dressed butler walked over and picked up the cyborg body and took it away, "Sir,Mr Falcone requests a meeting with you." The butler said with a British accent giving a slight bow to Ignatius.

"You know where to take him." Ignatius stated as various cords disconnected allowing him to stand and for a moment observed the marble ceiling with drawing of custodians holding off a wave of orcs. He had personally spent weeks recreating the battle scene he had observed as he had a deep respect for the custodians,a testament of human genetic perfection without considering the primarchs.

[succes is measured in blood

Blesses is the mind to small to doubt

For those who seek perfection there can be no rest

]

Ignatius read the words as he turned and walked out of the dimly lit room.
