Technological Lies

**Technological Lies** showcased the final moments of the gruelling global war between the megacorporation and the entire planet with perfect conviction that victory is not attainable for PROJECT, but rather for the resistance and their allies.

## History

### JINX-362's redemption

Since the previous operations, JINX-362 tried her best to correct her own misdeeds as she became one of the G/NEX resistance's most recognisable rebels. However, her overall reputation as a loose cannon can prove otherwise, as she still caused massive property damage throughout the planet. She also faced scrutiny from ASHE-159 and FIONA-384, but EQUINOX-612 insists that she is worthy of being a member in their ranks.

EQUINOX-612 travels with her in Heliga and they have developed a relationship. JINX-362 admits that being a cyborg has been relieving so far, since her lack of strength is no longer present with it, and she felt more comfortable with the rebels. After that, they went to the place where it all began, the Aryaine Kingdom. VI-516 joins them, as the three Rujians decided to take the matters on their own hands, which was to create a ruckus on the SUPREME headquarters, long enough for any allies to quickly deploy their forces in there some day.

BRONZAMITE-625 joins the three and decides to give them a ride. As they embark to enter the SUPREME headquarters for a Suicide mission and not telling the entire G/NEX resistance group about it, they intend to keep it that way. JINX-362 reminds VI-516 that the man who killed her wife is still alive, which earns a surprise on her and demanded more information about him. She quickly gave her the data regarding the killer. EQUINOX-612 confirms that he is in fact, a cyborg soldier. Upon hearing enough, she decides to kill him if she ever finds him, intending to rip his head off.

When they arrive at the SUPREME headquarters, they immediately unleash chaos by destroying all of the garrison's useless patrol bots, and they do their best to destroy any PROJECT forces in their path. They were successful until the megacorporation heard about the uproar and decided to activate their turrets to hunt them down. When the turrets couldn't find them, they quickly dispatched tanks and search parties to flush them out.

They were quickly discovered, prompting BRONZAMITE-625 to defend them and destroy the enemy, resulting in the launch of OBELISK. The two started a brawl in close combat, alongside shooting each other with weaponry, before the bulldozing mecha quickly burrows himself to the ground and leaps into the air before drilling him to the ground, effectively killing his rival, giving up his life to save his most trusted partner, JINX-362. She breaks loose from both of her friends and decides to confront OBELISK alone. Her attacks were only moderately effective, but she desired vengeance on the machine that loved her so much that she furiously launched a volley of rockets to be fired at OBELISK himself, causing significant damage. However, it only irritates OBELISK, who pursues her, while EQUINOX-612 corrects their errors by activating the CONTINUUM BREAK ability, rewinding the combat to provide a better course of action. JINX-362, on the other hand, is left alone because the massive mecha just knocked out the two by lightly hurling them through a structure.

OBELISK grabs her with one hand and his incredible strength prevents her from breaking free, despite her hidden grenades designed to blow his hand off. As a result, she intends to distract him, but it will be futile. A reanimated TAGGART, on the other hand, charges at him and pummels OBELISK. Taking advantage of the chaos, JINX-362 reads his data, revealing that OBELISK is a major successful weapon of PROJECT, and his acts of destruction were the reason the megacorporation was able to establish various military bases all over the planet. Recognising that the raging mecha is reanimated and on the verge of destruction, she fires her rocket launcher at both of them, eliminating them once and for all. Unfortunately, the G/NEX resistance hears about the disturbance and brings the three back to their headquarters, questioning JINX-362 about what happened out there and why they didn't inform them about their own personal quest. VI-516 speaks up for her because she is unable to talk due to grief and guilt.

She has finally found atonement in her life, thanks to her sister. She's no longer the nasty loose cannon that everyone has thought of her from the beginning of her criminal career. ASHE-159, on the other hand, still had reservations about her, but JINX-362 replies that she has some crazy people in the resistance, such as SHIRO-113, who earned nothing but an argument that compelled the leader to be the mediator. SHIRO-113 even insulted her by claiming her mecha companion had perished, to which the group simply shutting him up, concluding that his presence in the group was critical due to his strength and adaptability. VI-516 also informed the leader that her wife's killer, a cybernetic soldier with exceptional marksmanship skills, was still at large.

Much to their surprise, TRISTANNA-651 enters the base alive. EQUINOX-612 admits he revived her, which he earned a kiss from JINX-362.

### Gauntlets Meet the Mecha Wolf

VI-516 made the decision to settle one more personal issue. To avoid being chastised by ASHE-159 as she was in 3012, she decides to notify her of a personal mission: to settle a rivalry between herself and a robotic beast who used to be her adoptive father. She permits VI-516 to go in Ruj, but she still joins her by performing covert surveys among the roofs and monitoring local activity to ensure situational awareness.

Upon reaching Ruj, she went to her old house in Zephina. She reminiscences of her past life, her friendship with Benjamin, her lesbian relationship with Katherine and her deep bond with Purnell, her younger sister; However, she is quickly stalked by CHROME FANG. Whom quickly found her despite her best efforts to sneak out of the house undetected. Without warning, they fought. The Mecha werewolf was far too much for her to handle, even going so far to disarm her own NEVCORE gauntlets, allowing him to fight her effortlessly. However, she smartly blinded his right eye with a punch and slowly break free from his grip by using her cyborg strength.

After that, CHROME FANG unmasks himself in a disturbing manner, to which VI-516 shrugs, claiming that being a creation of PROJECT implies only one thing: He is yet another example of a controlled weapon. Although she had guilt and her heartbreaking reluctance to kill him, she did end the beast's life, but she is extremely wounded in the process, with ASHE-159 soon descending from the rooftops and checking on her. JINX-362 joins her, but PROJECT has dispatched *yet* another search party. INTERCEPTOR-409 was the leader, and he moved carefully through the city streets.

That is when he locked into the eyes of VI-516, the woman who had witnessed her wife's death as a result of his bullet. He soon recognises her and prepares to fire his rifle at her. ASHE-159 takes a defensive step in front of the siblings. VI-516 attempted to attack him, but ASHE-159 tells her that she is too injured to fight and that the enemy numbers were higher, forcing the three to retreat. The search party has been ordered to kill them. As a result, they flee and are pursued; however, VI-516's body is restored owing to EQUINOX-612, who offered to stall them so the trio could escape. He expresses his joy at the prospect of sacrificing himself to save the planet. Before the siblings could react to their best friend's decision, he dashed into battle, unleashing his entire arsenal of talents and gadgets to overwhelm the overwhelming threat.

They all make it out alive. EQUINOX-612, on the other hand, gets fatally shot in the head with a sniper rifle by INTERCEPTOR-409 when he disrupted his *CONTINUUM BREAK* ability by removing himself inside a mile, and precisely shot a bullet to his head while under the circumference, killing him for good. VI-516 witnessed the tragedy, with ASHE-159 hitting the jet's wall in fury as they lost their lone member with unrivalled hacking ability and his feat of revealing PROJECT's secrets.

To their surprise, TRISTANNA-651 and PSYLOCKE-832 pilots the jet, somehow without any PROJECT armour. ASHE-159 eagerly questions the elite assassin about her security firm's status, to which she replies by stating "They are withered, and fate relies on my shoulders." JINX-362 likes her attitude, in fact; And sees why did her older sister trust her since the start, which the assassin then looked at VI-516 and gave her own id card as respect.

*LILIAN-395 was already a G/NEX member, thanks to ASHE-159. JINX-362 comments that she is loyal to PROJECT, but somehow changed.*

### Red and Purple Ledgers

To put an end to it once and for all, PSYLOCKE-832 returns to Roji and commits a "massacre" among Command Line forces, effortlessly assassinating over two hundred thousand soldiers. Because of the elite assassin's incredible feat of skill, she was called through the Van Dammes in a call and inquired about her whereabouts. It was KAZAMA-437, the stylistic PROJECT GRANDIOSE, and she still recalls their agreement to fight to the death in Henvul, a city on Roji. SCYLLA-028 jokingly calls her, instantly analysing that she travelled to a certain place to kill her rival, to which PSYLOCKE-832 replied by stating she'll kill that fashionable marksman cyborg.

PROJECT GRANDIOSE quickly locates her, but he sends his best soldiers against her to give the elite assassin a proper challenge. To mock him, she hurls the robotic heads of three soldiers she killed while GRANDIOSE was doing nothing but surfing the internet and reading the news, which the heads landed near him on an overpassing bridge amidst his time of using a corpo-network. However, he stops his doing and quickly gestures for her to follow in a dark alleyway.

Following the speech, there is a fight. GRANDIOSE instantly dares her to a fight while he exploits the city by wall running and jumping from buildings and bridges, which she appears to have quickly followed while attacking at high speeds, allowing him to taunt her, stating that her skill can only lead her so far. Unbeknownst to him, PSYLOCKE-832 has a trick against him and unmasks herself while using her wrist computer to track his location, as a tracking grenade is implanted on his back, even if he managed to get away from her at least a thousand meters away. To make matters worse, he gets collided over by PSYLOCKE-832 in her bike and kicks him to a wall, quickly dismounting from her bike, with the full intention of killing him for good.

As the two assassins are ready to kill each other, GRANDIOSE quickly counters her moves despite his state and shoots her in the stomach, with some effect. However, PSYLOCKE-832 decides to toy with him until her rival's skills got the best of him, losing afterwards and she slowly ended his life by stabbing him with her glaive, and proceeds to picture his destroyed corpse whilst destroying his Power core to prevent any revival attempts once and for all.

As a result, she has only one mission left, which has been the most important: Revive BISHOP-805; Which she believes that he'll finish what the Darklord has started against the planet.

### The Unforgiven's Turn

SHIRO-113 was notably able to redeem himself after his previous actions. As a result, he travels to Losteria to check on HAYABUSA-096 and TRISTANNA-651 to see the rebuilding progress of Losteria. After doing so, he travels to Roji in order to clean things up by himself. He aims to eliminate mafia organisations that are actually allied with the megacorporation, as well as the goal of challenging their cyborg ninjas. Notably, he was able to destroy a few PROJECT machines that are not generally known to anyone, such the fearsome PHALANX-ECT mecha, a top secret design. SHADOW mockingly calls him out for destroying one of the megacorporation's best war machines.

He also discovered GRANDIOSE's corpse in Henvul, which he concluded that the elite assassin must've killed him for good, knowing that her worst enemy is him. Following that, he quickly dispatched numerous mafia killers and cyborg ninjas with ease after travelling in various parts of the country, most notably Cheadsul.

### A Form of Justice

HAYABUSA-096 and the TRI/NETIC team were given permission to perform hit-and-run operations all over the terrene. FIONA-384 has been a major contributor to the operations, successfully using her sharp skills, while HAYABUSA has done some extreme feats, burning the entire MAXIMAL, SIGMA, and NOVEMBER headquarters, but it came out as being logically correct because he has singlehandedly prevented any disturbing nevian experiments that the evil megacorporation can do so at any given time, like in the previous years. Frazier Lashley and some other executive circle members of the megacorporation are either apprehended, or killed.

However, EION-013 vanishes from plain sight despite his team's members being with him most of the time. It was due to the fact that OLIVEIRI-709 has challenged him into a duel on the cyberspace. Confused, he quickly recognises her as his wife Laura, which the latter replies that she is unsure of her identity. The fight ends in a stalemate and both are able to cleverly escape the realm unharmed. As a result, ANNIHILATOR is alarmed of this, and quickly deploys himself in the Glaz'Ian Islands, forcing the team to retreat after purposefully missing his strike of the hammer.

As a result, ANNIHILATOR orders SHADOW to hunt them, as well as GRANDIOSE. He vows to kill the entire G/NEX resistance through a duel anytime, anywhere. Or if he wanted to, he could *banish* the rebels to the cyberspace and effectively kill them in that realm with ease. FIONA-384 delivers a message to all living Valenthians and provided relief for her rescued family members after she has managed to save them.

### A War's Terminus

Without further ado, RUBICORE announced the formation of the alliance known as "G - Rising Falcons". It was chosen to honour the G/NEX resistance movement, which was organised by ASHE-159 in an effort to destroy PROJECT corporation and save the planet, smaller resistance groups also joined the alliance. To allow for a complete solution on removing the megacorporation's global totalitarian control, they have cleverly planned thoroughly and will soon execute an invasion operation in the place where it all began: Brimstone, Freya. FIONA-384 reassures everyone, including her family, that all of this would be over, soon.

PROJECT successfully launched a large-scale attack on the Panamoan Republic in response to an oncoming danger. Because of this lacklustre onslaught, they sought to capture an MK12 Forge tank and use it alongside their mecha cavalry, which are now armed and ready to meet the planetary alliance at their *front* door. As a result, ASHE-159 sent a message around the world, asking for prayers and good luck, knowing that this operation had the potential to CHANGE the entire course of the war.

As the operation begins, RUBICORE has capitalised on bombing campaigns while sending thousands of men to subdue the city's outlying forces. The G/NEX has directed the smaller resistance organisations into a cunning strategy that will allow efficient strikes on Brimstone, which they all know is PROJECT's heart and where all of their resources are stored. To make things more easier, the security firm COALESCENCE has efficiently used their DATA artificial intelligence to quickly hack while undermining the enormous city's defences. JINX-362 notably upgraded her own cybernetic body to suit her needs in any situation.

Learning of this threat, Muldoon Lundgren entrenched himself and the other executives as he ordered every bit of their military to defend the entirety of Freya, confident that his megacorporation has enough firepower to stop an entire alliance composed of rebel groups and a reformed Panamoan military. As the operation turns to be a winning favour from the planet's unified alliance, He has still had options, which was to launch the rest of their mecha cavalry in an effort to turn the tide, but BRIENNE-218, ASHE-159, SCYLLA-028 and FIONA-384 has a counter tactic, which is to infiltrate the SUPREME headquarters and confront him there, knowing that he usually spends his time on the 175th floor or the very top.

When things are desperate, He orders for the launch of MANTICORE; Intending for his Command Line forces to kill them with the chemical weapon as it can only target non PROJECT combatants in the blast radius. However, BRIENNE-218 quickly made short work of their MANTICORE supplies after commandeering a MK6 Titan alongside bringing a few RUBICORE soldiers with her. SCYLLA-028 and FIONA-384 has rendered their security useless after slaughtering them, while ASHE-159 catches up with them after coordinating the entire alliance alongside corresponding faction leaders, knowing their plan.

However, TRISTANNA-651 asks everyone the same question: Where is PSYLOCKE-832?

As ASHE-159, SCYLLA-028, FIONA-384, and BRIENNE-218 enter the lower floors, HAYABUSA-096 joins them, recalling his vow to destroy the entire SUPREME building after the victory. HAYABUSA-096, SHIRO-113, and TRISTANNA-651 made quick work of the underground floors' security, eliminating all personnel they encountered and allowing the few innocent employees to flee for their lives. They then cleared the laboratories and directed the smaller resistance groups to save the victims who were still alive, which they did quickly. After that, they fought their way up until the 300th floor, which took a considerable amount of time.

They then confronted Muldoon Lundgren after his men gets slaughtered on the top floor. Knowing he has no backup plans in case he is cornered, he simply stands in front of them, seemingly unafraid of the defectors from his megacorporation. He mocks them, believing that killing him will not bring the war to an end, despite the fact that PROJECT is losing it. BRIENNE-218 quickly steps in front of the group, asking the Iceborn leader if she could kill him, which ASHE-159 agrees to, while discussing how he is one of the most evil men on the planet, and his operatives are just as evil. Before she can rip him in half, Muldoon pulls out a device, which he attempts to disable the rebels' armour or cybernetic bodies with it briefly, but SCYLLA-028 later halts it after throwing a kunai at his palm.

Muldoon Lundgren simply laughs despite his wound and presses a button that livestreams their confrontation. Muldoon simply admits that the megacorporation was founded by an extraterrestrial, tyrannical god who wanted to control the planet Nexonia Prime and destroy it after his empire had controlled it; in doing so, he founded a megacorporation that was passed down to him at the time of his unlikely death at the hands of BISHOP-805. As the rebels have no idea who is this god, he simply showed them a holographic projection of the Darklord and the things he knew about the lord.

ASHE-159 declared an event for the entire planet to watch as they cleared the skyscraper and brought Lundgren with them. It was to humiliate Lundgren in front of millions, if not billions, of people. The rebels promptly organised it someplace in the Aryaine Kingdom, encircling the region with Reel TEC screens, planning to show all of his words, atrocities, and an unending array of evil that he has performed in the name of greed and power. BRIENNE-218 questioned the leader about not instantly executing the vile CEO, to which she simply replied that the public deserves to witness the most evil nevian suffer at hands of good before he dies, and concluding that eliminating the life of such a selfish monster may jeopardise their values as a hero.

The day arrives. Lundgren is left in fearful silence as he witnesses billions of people watching him on stage as the G/NEX warriors drag him into the centre for all to see; to capitalise on this, She wanted everyone to witness all the wrong that he did through the Reel TEC screens surrounding the stage, which he attempted to disable, but he is ultimately defenceless as he lacks any means of protecting himself. As he suffers from the public's censure, he tries to reverse the tide by activating a switch on his neck, which summons a bulky drone bot; causing public anger as Lundgren attempts to flee while using the bot as protection.

However, ASHE-159 swiftly disables it after help from Rising Falcon allies and is astonished to see the bot destroyed after a railgun fire from PSYLOCKE-832 obliterates it. With no hope or escape preparations, Lundgren is left on stage, vulnerable to every sort of attack unleashed by the audience, mainly hurled objects and some machinery, as he is left to perish slowly at the hands of the audience. The rebels watched in silence, deeply satisfied that they have found a means to get rid of him, without ruthlessly cutting him apart. After the ceremony, the rebels and their formed allies simply asked the crowd to dispose of his body and burn it, since they saw no purpose for his cadaver.
