Idea for Storyline

StarWyng had been observing the inhabitants for days, how they lived, their interactions with each other, with their leaders, and how their leaders treated the population. What she had seen upset her to her core. She had never seen the government of China brutalize its population during the cultural revolution, Berlin and the Nazi movement, or observed Cambodia under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. If she had, she would have recognized in the actions of the Rikti leaders, the kinship this government had with them. The constant exhortation to something, the large banners of leaders, and the police who did most of their work at night, taking one member of a family away or ripping a child from its family to be placed in a creche for proper stateist education.


What she did see was the fear of the people of their own kind. Fear of the visits in the dark, the iron hand. She decided to watch one the leaders more closely, and enhanced her stealth to allow for close observation. She chose one of the local leaders, and followed him back to his office to observe how he operated day-to-day. As she approached him, the leader surprised her by looking right at her, and then pulling a weapon and firing, hit her and disrupted her invisibility field. She suddenly became visible to the populace, a white winged creature out of thin air. The leader and his two bodyguards engaged StarWyng, and random shots sliced past her into the street and a coughing scream told her that someone had been hit.

Her instinct took over and she charged the three Rikti leaders, and in the close combat disabled the three in short order. As she stopped to catch her breath, she noticed that the leader was ... steaming? She ripped open his uniform and found metal underneath. She had seen nemesis stealth bots before, and could recognize them. Quickly she grabbed the machine and bolted into the air. She had proof that something was not what it seemed. She only hoped she shared the information with would come to that same conclusion .
