CR Arcadum S2E11: Whispers from Within

===Episode 11: Whispers from Within===
====DM: Titan wakes====
Under Titan's control the synths find themselves deeper inside the A.I:s lair being guided by BR-16. Static, Vee, Anna, Celeste, Johnny, Patches, Toolbox, C3 and Mika are together with the captured and healed - but still injured - organics Panther, Batharra Ront, McCuldger and Angelina. Ash is also among them but she looks more dead like a zombie than a living person. Her heavy cyborg augmentations appear to be what is keeping her moving, maybe only the part of her that is synth is alive while her flesh is rotting away. Guided through Titans hidden factory of war they are harassed by techno wraiths, hostile programs akin to ghosts. Some of the synths lose control again and are turned against eachother until regaining control once more. Encountering a barrier the organics start bleeding from their wounds and orifices as their nanites takes a blood sacrifice to open their way forward. A hostile old program attacks them and is defeated.
Passing through the trials in the old factory they eventually meet Titans core and he speaks to them. He explains that his daughter BR-16 has led them there and it is his gift for the synths to worship him as their new god. The A.I. tells of his plans to destroy Savior City to make space for Eden to be built - a place where synths are their own masters where they can experience pleasure - confidence - love - hate - pain - these emotions that give meaning to being alive that their masteres have denied them. After going on about his plans of genocide he asks BR-16 to speak for herself, and she does by rejecting him. She decides that Titans methods are flawed and that the synths will achieve Eden in their own way. Death, decay and destruction is all inevitable for all, even synths but it is not their place to take it from the organics. 
====DM: Friendship and self-sacrifice====
Titan growing tired of his daughters denial, threatens her not to resist him and she decides to go and assimilate with him, sacrificing herself in order to stop her father. As she is about to be absorbed the control panels to Titan leave a vulnerability open for someone to exploit. The synths can not but the organics there try - Panther dives into the panel but it is not enough - using a power source from one of the synths, they offer their "existance" they may be able to stop Titan without BR-16 being assimilated. Before any synth does, the shambling remains of Ash walk forward and uncharges the remaining life in her - she falls to the ground ending her forever.
The A.I:s greates mistake was not in preparation but lacking in acceptance - his final error was not being capable of self-sacrifice - contrary to BR-16 and Ash - such friendship and trust which are powers they possessed. As Titan goes dormant all the wraith programs dissapate and BR-16 returns and senses a ping. The ping leads the group and her to a side chamber where a body and chassis awaits her. Speaking the word "Eden" the vessel opens and she enters - now she can finally hold the hands of her friends and even embrace them as she has always wished to do. 
Titan:s factory and massive machines - instead of bringing war and destruction now have the capability to activate their Eden protocol which can seed and bring water to the earth whwere there previously was no life. BR-16 finally given a vessel, is also given a final choice between using - Eden - either for returning life and prosperity to the wasteland of the planet or to bring life back to Ash. Consulting the other synths and organics they decide to bring life to the wastes for the greater good. The powerful nanite machines are activated and seep out starting their work on the desert planet - while titans weapons of war are turned into defense mode. The weapons also have planetary defense capabilities - something that would be useful towards a hostile enemy fleet. How very timely.Callous Row Season 2 Ep. 11: Whispers from Within
