Shriek

*"It has been perfectly designed and coded it already contains codes of every form of martial art and combat form known to man also being able to hit targets with a 99% accuracy rating which I shall seek to improve, once it's code has been copied we will be able to replicate them and finally have an army at our fingertips."* - Electrode speaking to the Sparrow leaders about Shriek

Shriek was an A.I. robot that was originally created by Jerrard Warren who had been contracted by Sparrow to construct a deadly assassin robot from light technology to act as a plan B for the organisation to take over the world by force, at some point after Shriek's code has been completed Jerrard would double cross Sparrow and amidst his own company's success would choose to sell the A.I. code and this same code would eventually end up in a black market auction within the city of London where it was retrieved by The Warden acting as one of Sparrow's operatives at the time. Once Shriek was acquired one of the organisation's scientists known as Josef Gruber aka Electrode would suggest an idea about replicating the code that Shriek already had being able to make more than one effectively making up an army after the UN disaster, seeing as he was already the secondary plan the company's leaders would allow Gruber to go ahead with this plan giving him a lab to work on building the ideal armour schematic for the A.I. and a data centre to begin replicating the code. As the plan was set in motion Sparrow would use a secret factory within Chicago to begin mass building Shriek from the schematics that Electrode had concocted from which he oversaw the production, during this creation the group known as the Enigmas under Milton Nichols were disrupting the operation by destroying Gruber's lab and trying to stop the data centre. Sparrow would try to warn Electrode of this growing threat to their plans however Gruber was already set on his own plan using Shriek to occupy Chicago and force humans to "evolve" to defeat the perfect robotic army, as the president was making his speech in Chicago Gruber would set all of the Shriek robots loose on the city forcing the Engimas into action whilst Electrode operated their attacks from a central computer. Within the Battle of Chicago the Enigmas would be able to overcome the Shriek robots and stop Electrode who would be placed under arrest and was the evidence that the UN needed to prove that Sparrow was a terrorist organisation, the rest of the Shriek robots that were left were dismantled and sent to scrap heaps however it is unknown what had happened to his code.

## Biography

### SHRIEK Crisis

#### Creation of Shriek

Before his creation Sparrow had compiled ideas on how they could keep wars between countries happening and their primary idea was to use the United Nations through direct control and they would do this by funding other terrorist cells across the world keeping world tension high, whilst this remained their primary plan they organisation began to notice the growth of Apollo under the CEO Jerrard Warren who utilised light technology to create sustainable energy. With this rise in new technology Sparrow's top scientists were ordered to create a new A.I. program named project Shriek which was planned by the group to become their top and most deadliest assassin robot being better than all of their current operatives, having made part of his code the rest of it would be beyond their skillset and so Sparrow would immediately reach out to Jerrard offering him a large amount of money to perfect and finish the A.I. code for them. Jerrard accepted the payment graciously and categorised the job as a private project inside of his company whilst overseeing the rest of the light energy projects keeping Orothos and her mother at the time out of the loop, during his time in perfecting the code Jerrard would secretly seek to sell the code for a higher price to another buyer so that he could use the money to help his company. Before his capture by the US military Jerrard would successfully sell the A.I. code to a black marketeer in London who kept it for a while before eventually selling it at a black market auction from which The Warden was assigned the mission to recover it from where it was being kept, upon its retrieval Shriek would be handed to Electrode otherwise known as the Austrian scientist Josef Gruber who had proposed to continue working on the A.I. for Sparrow.

#### Battle of Chicago

In order to perfect Shriek Gruber would propose a plan to replicate it's coding and create more than one instead creating thousands to be used as a backup plan if the UN plan was ever to fail which after some time to think about Sparrow would give the greenlight for the scientist's idea of mass creating Shriek robots, before the A.I. chip was stolen by The Warden who had now betrayed the organisation going rogue Gruber would secretly download the code off of the chip having it begin it's duplication process in the data tower in Rome. Whilst the code was being copied and duplicated in Rome Electrode was granted a secret lab in Egypt near Cairo from where he would begin working on making a suitable design for Shriek using his own knowledge of energy to begin constructing the first armour set which became the standard look for the robot, as this was happening The Warden would make contact with Milton Nichols and the rest of the Enigmas revealing to them about Sparrow's true motives which only confirmed Milton's suspicions about the group. Having duplicated the code and created the perfect armour for Shriek to be placed within thousands of times over Gruber would move his operation to his own staging area inside the city of Chicago where he had planned to occupy the city utilising the robots and forcing the humans inside to "evolve" by surviving or dying trying, this plan would eventually be put into motion and the city would begin to get surrounded by the Shriek duplicates however at the time the Enigmas would've discovered this plan and were already in the city at the time to try and prevent the attack. The Battle of Chicago would commence with thousands of Shriek robots against the Enigmas who managed to defend various checkpoints and safezones for civilians to hide out in, Orothos would eventually manage to track Electrode inside a building within the city controlling the robots from a central computer and went to go and stop him. The battle would ensue with all four members of the Enigmas fighting Gruber off and disabling his energy pack that gave his electrical powers and would shut down the central computer causing all of the robots to shut down, the A.I. code known as Shriek would be gifted to the UN for safekeeping despite Orothos claiming it to be too dangerous and wanted to destroy it, alongside the code being locked away Electrode would also be locked up in a custom maximum security prison.

## Power and Abilities

### Abilities

* **Master Combatant**: Shriek was originally an idea that was cultivated by Sparrow to serve as their soldiers being programmed to be trained in every known form of combat providing both the ultimate defence and offense that the robot would have within it's arsenal, whilst encountering an enemy in combat it takes Shriek approximately 5 seconds to identify and memorise the pattern of combat that their opponent is fighting them with providing their opponent only 5 seconds of vulnerability to destroy the robot.
* **Killing Machine**: After the first process of code for Shriek they were continuously improved upon by scientists in Sparrow including Electrode who drafted and created the proper suit designs for the robot providing it with a range of different gadgets that helped them kill their targets with both precision and efficiency, these gadgets would include state of the art wrist launchers and wrist guns alongside rocket propelled boots for elevation and a large chest guided missile connected to the robot's precision programming.
