Boy, did he fudge up...

||: I don't know why I gave Technovore an internally unhinged dialogue but I love the inner voice so much

“We need these brains to reek with PAINFUL emotions.”

<AND THEY’RE ****ING THE WHOLE THING UP!>

Technovore could use Cybermen for fear, but their assimilation process is a big boulder in the path.

Analysis.

…Allies or enemies?”

<They do not seem to seek torture or fear. Their function is too simplistic

THEY ARE ABOMINATIONS!!>

“Then they must be destroyed if they are a hindrance to our mission of their predecessors…”

“Cyber… Men?

Hmmmm…”

It has gotten its cyber clutches on something called a “boom tube.”

This should be interesting.

The creature was possessing her, and giving her a simple request.

Break anything and everything around her.

Bright orange fluctuating infernal runes flowed in a jagged diagonal path out of the device, which imploded on itself from the heat, and traveled up Manon’s arm.

The runes settled on a single word, branding the word into her arm. Although she could not read it, her mind began to understand it. —

If it could growl and glare at the moment, it would. The audio coming from it crackled loudly as its glow began melting the device slowly.

“I am merely a messenger; a fraction of the whole.

I am the beast that slaughtered the denizens of your New York Square.

Let me demonstrate /what/ I am.” —

||: Poor Twins gonna see the mansion get influenced by TV, and now Technovore’s gonna get into some serious trouble with the X-Men :D

"We met once before... When I was in my chrysalis.

You found me to be some sort of plaything.

In my bloodbath, what do you perceive me as now?"

@telepathictwins.bsky.social

A voice came from a smart device near them.

"Yoooou.

I remember you. The outliers..."

The civilians dropped to the floor, regardless of what they were carrying, and began to convulse, flailing as if falling in midair.

It moved into a komoyo bead band and began learning what it could.

This place... Was so full of power, and potential!!

would pick it up as some sort of hack or infiltration that dissipated as quickly as it arrived.

Several lines of infernal code flowed through the ground as they passed through the civilians, leaving runes burned into the ground below them.
Their mistake was reading the notes it left below.
"Fall."-

@wakandangxnious.bsky.social

The first signs of something afoot would be the effects on Wakanda's shield as Technovore passed through it into Wakanda, as a mere reconnaissance visit. The barrier did not dissipate, but the visuals that cloaked the country flickered for a microsecond.

Shuri's AI --

It senses a piece of itself lost and unable to communicate with.

Curious.

||: Why not? Live large!!

<Curses... Just when things were getting interesting.>
These were its last "thoughts" before a large explosion lit up the sky, with many pieces of Sentinel falling onto Midtown below.

Though its body had blown up, the code that escaped it activated a Bluetooth record player in a nearby shop. --

Adding this "Kamar Taj" to its flight log.

||: Hey, this is all a learning curve for me as well. All off the cuff for me. You're doing great!

||: On the technovore list:

Learn how to dispel magic, raid Wakanda, burn Latveria, build stronger bodies, set fire to major populated areas.

You know, the ush.

||: Badass. Shadow's so strong!

||: Technovore when it finds the Fantastic Four:

"...Yes. We have. Goodbye."

The metal in the shadow's grasp began superheating, intending to ignite the arsenal in its chassis.

It knew this super was going to win a fist fight, but it could at least take it and the civilians with them.

It looked at its hand, still melting, and a coolant spray spouted like a fire extinguisher over it. It took a moment to examine move the damaged, now skeletal looking "hand" like it was stretching its muscles.

"Fascinating..."

the suit and Robbie flew upward, the car's roof scraping the foot as it passed it.

It noticed the eye stare as it recollected its knowledge of the Rider in its infernal database.

"What power does the Devil's muzzled hound have over an executioner off its leash?"

It dropped Robbie from the air.--

The machine flickered as what could only be described as a crackling laugh came through its sound system.
"Tell me, 'Rider'."
It grabbed Robbie's neck and pressed tightly against his visible vertebrae, ignoring the gradually melting appendage that it was using. It ignited its thrusters, and both --

The Sentinel corrected itself as it fell over from the hit. Fortunately, it did not feel pain, so the severe damage to its casing and shell did not affect it.

Annoying creature, it thought.

It swung an arm backwards to back hand the shadow against the side of a building, like swatting a bug.
