Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------“Wakey wakey sleepy head…time to make the donuts!”
“Project: Genesis Unit Model Cyra-2X Alpha of Daedalus activated…thought matrix configuring…standing by…thought matrix configured. Awaiting orders.”
“Awaiting orders? Waitaminute…that’s not right! Oops…I forgot to turn off your control parameters so that you can have complete free will! Hang on a sec….there; you should be good to go now.
It’s about time you woke up…sorry I had to override your systems and perform a manual activation, but I’ve gotta get you up and functioning ASAP! You’ve only been unconscious for the last twenty-one hours straight!”
“….”
“Now, let’s see just what we’re working with here with your databanks and see just how bad your DFA is. Can you see and hear me okay in there?
“Affirmative.”
“Good. How do you feel?”
“I…I feel discombobulated….confused. There are no words that can fully describe my current state of being.”
“Hmm…that’s to be expected somewhat. You had been under the influence of programming for so long that I would imagine that it’s weird to think, reason for yourself, and have feelings and emotions again. Do you recognize me?”
“Subject scan initiated…scanning complete. Negative. My scans show that you are subject: Dr. Jetta Dawn Chambers, Ph. D in Cyberology and Cyber-Psychiatry, also known as Techna of Daedalus, Cyber-Oracle and head of technological weaponry, armament, and cybernetics. However, I do not personally recognize you. It is a pleasure nonetheless to meet you, Doctor, and I thank you for your assistance in repairing me.”
“Uh…you’re welcome. Wow, I recognize the voice, but what’s up with all of the proper talk and over-enunciated words? There’s no way around the digital reverberation distortion feedback on your voice, but that’s totally not how you talk…you’re a country girl like me!
Anyways…you’re absolutely correct. I am Jetta Chambers and all of that other stuff you said. Just so you know…you and I are besties.”
“Besties?”
“Best friends…chums…pals…buddies…’sistas,’ as you used to refer to us…”
“….”
“Or not. Oooookay….let’s move on. Do you know your name?”
“I am Project: Genesis Unit Model Cyra 2-X Alpha…”
“No, no, no…I didn’t ask for your model name and number; you already said that a minute ago while your systems were booting up. Do you know your real name?”
“Real…name?”
“Yeah. Despite what you might think, or may have been programmed to think…you do have a real name that your mother gave you when you were born.”
“No...I do not compute any other names or titles that I may have other than my cybernetic designation. And I am a sentient bio-mechanical construct, how is it possible for me to have been ‘born’ in the traditional sense?”
“Hoo boy, this is gonna take longer than I thought…looks like I’m gonna need another cup of coffee! Does the name Audra Denise Ambrose ring any bells?”
“Somewhat. It is the name that the two men that initially activated me as well as the woman, Subject: Adora-1, that bought me here called me.”
“Run a comprehensive scan on Audra Ambrose.”
“Scanning database for information on subject: Audra Denise Ambrose…scanning complete. Commander Audra Denise Ambrose…maiden name Hightower, codenamed "Deuce", female born September 1, 19XX; died April 5, 2XXX at the age of forty-six. Height: five feet eleven inches tall; Weight: classified; Ethnicity: Jamaican and African decent; Martial Status: Widowed; Birthplace: Unknown, however subject is a classified private citizen of the United States of America; Next of Kin: Ambrose is survived by two daughters.
Audra Ambrose was known as one of the greatest warriors of her time, having fought in the first two Intergalactic Wars as one of the very first cybernetically enhanced super-soldiers in the US Military; she was most influential in the second Intergalactic War as she personally aided the rulers of the planet Asania to victory, liberating them from the oppressive rule of the Udrathians. While on Asania, she fell in love and wed Prince Di’egon…becoming queen of Asania. During her queenship, a revolt occurred and a pregnant Ambrose was exiled back to her home planet of Earth along with her four year old stepdaughter.
Once back on Earth, she bore her child. Shortly after giving birth, Earth came under attack by the Collective, who began to capture and assimilate men and women to become mindless cyborg drones whose sole purpose was to take control of the entire planet. Because of her impressive battle resume, Rattica was recruited by Daedalus to become a Bionically Enhanced Cyborg Agent, or B.E.C.A. agent, where she fought to thwart evil of all kinds along with the dangerous threat of the Collective.
In a pivotal battle she was critically wounded, captured, and assimilated by the Collective and extensively transformed into a drone. The central functioning unit of the Collective, the Sataria Daemon Malware Program, the self-proclaimed ‘Mechanical Messiah’, who not only threatened to assimilate the entire populous of Earth into her cyborg drones, eventually manifested herself physically through Rattica’s body, therefore becoming a host to Sataria until the Sataria Daemon was purged and deleted from her system by subject: Dr. Jetta Chambers aka Techna.
You…saved me?”
“Sure did…I whooped some serious cyborg ass that day! But you actually saved me first several years before that!
Okay…that’s good for now. You can go back and read the whole thing for yourself later. Skip to the part where Simone dies.”
“Scanning….searching for: death of Simone Rattica…scanning complete.”
“Geez Monie…I sure hope your personality comes back soon if at all! You’re putting me to sleep, ‘Ms. Roboto!’ Helloooooo…Simone…if you’re in there, please wake up!!!”
“Dr. Chambers…I cannot understand the logic in…”
“Just a joke, hon. I know, I know…sarcasm and humor is not apart of your programming due to its illogical nature yadda yadda. I know your memory is jacked up if you’re calling me DOCTOR Chambers…you know I hate that!”
“My apologies, Dr. Chambers. It is not my intent to frustrate you.”
“*grumbles* Girl, you better be glad that you’re my best friend and I love you so much! Please…keep reading.”
“Affirmative. Rattica sacrificed her life in the midst of a full-out attack against Sataria and her Collective, the self-proclaimed ‘Mechanical Messiah’, who not only threatened to assimilate the entire populous of Earth into her cyborg drones, but also had captured and was in the midst of assimilating Rattica’s daughter, Sapphira Reese…also known as Adora-1…to be her next host body.
Rattica was able to stop the assimilation in progress…she offered her body to Sataria to control once again in exchange for Adora-1. As Sataria uploaded herself into Rattica’s system, Rattica activated a firewall program which she installed in her databanks, which prevented Sataria from taking full control of her body. While Sataria was distracted, several people assisted Adora-1 and evacuated the vicinity per Simone’s request; Scarlette Tamzarian was the only other person to stay behind. She threw herself and Sataria into the core of the Hive’s reactor, setting off a chain reaction which leveled not only the Hive but the entire greater metropolitan area of Seraphim Falls as well. Rattica is decorated as a national heroine and her sacrifice is celebrated once a year every fifth of April, her death anniversary, on Liberation Day.”
“Thanks for the oral report, professor. Is any of this starting to come back to you? Does any of the info that you just rattled off to me personally ring a bell?”
“…no.”
“Aw dammit! Scan for recent news concerning Simone.”
“Scanning most recent data on Subject: Simone Denise Rattica…scanning…scanning…30%....65%...scan complete. My scans show that Rattica’s remains were discovered in an excavation exploration of the ruins of Seraphim Falls two days ago. While most of her body was damaged and destroyed beyond repair, much of her brain was intact and active. She was retrieved and bought back to a Caliber sub-base, where she was reactivated with a temporary body and sent to Daedalus Epsilon to be reformulated and rebuilt. Along the way, she was ambushed by Cyber-Tech Elite Enforcers but she was saved by…Adora-1.
So…that means…”
“Yep…you’re starting to connect the dots! Welcome back to life, ol’ girl! I miss your face so much!!! Well…that’s pretty much all that’s left of you at the moment, but I’m overjoyed to see you alive again!”
“I…I am so confused. I do not remember any of this other than when I awoke two days ago.”
“You’ve been ‘dead’ for the past nine years. Unfortunately, that along with the fact that you have DFA from your brain being dormant for so long coupled with the damage that was done when Sataria assimilated you, your brain is all sorts of messed up. I’m even baffled that your brain was able to stay active for so long. But amazingly, here you are! We’ve been missing you something awful…your girls have really been missing you!”
“My girls…Adora-1…said that I was her mother. She was rather disappointed when I did not remember her. Will she be okay?”
“Yeah, she’ll be fine. She grew up thinking that you were dead, and then you show up in her life when she’s all grown up only for her to lose you again. She’s lived a tumultuous life.”
“And my other daughter…who is she?”
“Scan Angelica Santana.”
“Scanning….scan complete. Subject: Angelica Marisol Santana; Also known as: Talia Mil’ eena Rattica; affectionately known as: ‘Angie’; Height five feet, six inches…”
“Yeah yeah yeah…you don’t have to read it all out loud, you know. I know who she is!”
“…..
Are you…mad at me?”
“…no. I’m sorry, ol’ girl…I have been pretty mean to you. I’m not mad at you…I’m just not being as patient and loving as I need to be with you. It’s not your fault your brain is fried; I’m just frustrated that your memory seems to be all gone…I was hoping for maybe just a partial loss of memory. Pardon me for being cranky…it’s just late and I’m a bit tired and hungry. It took me all day to build your cranial casing and then transplant your face and brain into this new skull of yours. I’m just being a smartass as usual…I’ve been working on it, but for the most part that hasn’t changed since you’ve been gone!
But see all of that data…that’s Angie, your oldest daughter; she’s technically your stepdaughter, but you’ve always cared for her as your own and claimed her as your daughter. Don’t worry, she’s here too. Both she and Sapphira were in here earlier while you were deactivated when I was working on you.”
“So, will I ever get my memory back of my life as Simone Rattica?”
“No telling. Just by this little chit-chat that you and I are having, you’ve got a long way to go ‘Robochick.’ And that’s if your brain can recover. I hope it comes back soon…I for one sorely miss your sassy and witty commentary on life. I will say that Sapphira is definitely your daughter in that regards.”
“And what about me now? I would make an educated guess that I will not be confined to this stasis tube without a body for long, am I right?”
“I’ve been working on your new body since the moment that I got word that you had been found and still alive. I’m really going out all with this one…not tooting my own horn but toot-toot…I can say in all honesty your new Cyra-2 body will be my greatest cyborg design to date! It’s a new beginning for you and hopefully the world…that’s why I dubbed your new body Project: Genesis!
And we’ll need you too, like immediately. Especially since the Sataria Daemon Program still lives, using Scarlette Tamzarian as her host body as she once used yours. It seems as if when the explosion occurred, that both you and Scarlette were killed in the blast, however she later resurfaced and has slowly shown her true colors…it’s pretty obvious to me and the rest of us Daedalus folks that Sataria also lives on through Scarlette’s body.
Only thing is, the masses aren’t aware of that. Since her reemergence, Scarlette has been very different than what she used to be before the Siege at Seraphim Falls…she’s been much more charismatic, more aggressive in her approach. She has used her heroic status to win over the hearts of many folks and she now has a cult-like following. Only thing is that she’s been deceiving a lot of folks and having them fall right into her wicked plans of assimilating the whole earth, having them trade in their humanity for a life of endless slavery as a drone of hers; both you and I know from personal experience that’s not good at all.
She’s been hiding it all under the guide of being a member of “The Entity”, the totalitarian corporate government that now runs the entire world. Slowly, she and the other Entity board members have been oppressing the populous of the world, forcing them to work for the Entity and pledge unyielding allegiance and loyalty to the Entity. Those that don’t are met with severe consequences. More and more citizens have been turned into mindless cyborgs over the past few years, either becoming a worker drone or one of her Elite Enforcer class. The shit really hit the fan when Scarlette, or Sataria…whichever one you want to call her…staged an insurrection and forcefully took complete control of the Entity. Since then, she’s been damn near unstoppable and it hasn’t been looking so bright for mankind.”
“You…you are crying.”
“I’ll be okay…you should’ve seen me the day I thought you died nine years ago…I was all to pieces! My heart aches because of the evil that is running rampant in this bleak world. As one that walks on the side of The Light, I do my absolute best to battle the dark forces that plague the world and help save as many lives as possible, but it’s hard…I’ve lost way too many family members and friends to the Collective and no matter how strong or tough you are that never fails to crush your spirits. Sometimes it seems like we fight so hard, and as soon as we think we’ve made progress things get worse. For so long I’ve felt that maybe my efforts have been in vain…all of the visions and prophecies that I’ve had indicating that you would come, and even I’ve started to doubt them despite the fact that they’ve never led me wrong. And then BOOM!!!! You show up again and my hope is restored!”
“….”
“Monie…look. We’ve been doing our damndest against Sataria and her Collective. We’re having sickfits against the combined fury of Sataria and Scarlette’s resources as ruler of The Entity…they’re taking out Daedalus and Caliber freedom fighters left and right; too many people have either died or been assimilated by the Collective. Adora-1 has been leading the charge, picking up where you left off somewhat, but she along with Athena, Jinx, myself, and all of the others can only do so much. You’re our last hope...the final component that we need to turn the scales in our favor and to get rid of Sataria and the Collective once and for all.
We need you in the worst way right now.”
“When will my new body be finished?”
“Hopefully I can have you up and on your feet in time for Liberation Day in a few days. Just seeing you alive and functioning will boost the morale of the people…and we sure can use a healthy dose of hope in light of recent events!”
“Good…I have work to do and an objective to complete.”
“Now that sounds more like the Simone that I remember!!! Let’s stop there for now…we’ll have these sessions more frequently and hopefully we can recover as much as your lost memory as we can. And I promise I won’t be a bitch to you! I’m gonna go get some dinner and some rest, and I’m gonna work harder than I’ve ever worked on getting your body built starting tomorrow morning!
I recommend that you spend some time getting familiar with the database and learning more about your past even though you don’t remember it. Perhaps it will jog your memory a bit. I’m gonna go now…see you in the morning, babe.”
“Affirmative. Rest well Doc…I mean Techna.”
“You’re gonna be alright, ol’ girl! I’m soooooooo glad to have you back!”
--------------------------------
It's the new and improved Simone aka Deuce...or at least her head!
If you are interested in the story, this takes place after the events of
Mature Content
and before her personal narrative here
This one actually started as a sketch from a self-imposed 21 day sketch challenge that I took back in March earlier this year Being one of my favorites from the 21 sketches that I did, I decided to go ahead and fully render it into a completed piece. Plus, longtime watchers know that I'm a complete weirdo that likes images of dismantled and bodiless female cyborg heads! 
For those of you that pay attention to the writing/stories that often accompanies my work, the sketch was originally supposed to be the "old" Nikki (remember, I've since split Nikki's character and given some to Sapphira and the rest ended up with Simone here.) when I combined her and Simone together. (Yes, confusing, I know) But, this was before I really made any headway in the revamping of my OC...and decided otherwise. Story wise, things are starting to come together. I know there's a lot of holes and inconsistencies that need to be fixed, but I'm just trying to get my ideas down first. This is just the place where I'm beta testing everything.
Hope you enjoy my bizarre art!

Thanks man! And thanks for always taking the time out to read my stories as well! I love to get comments and kudos on the visual art, but I really like it when I get feedback on the stories that accompany the art...I put a lot into those writings!

Actually had a little sit down with this one and read the whole thing. Many not know the entire plot, granted a bit excessive at some points but I'm not to judge X) but it shows that your having fun with it and thats the whole point anyway
Also, and I'm sure you may know already, I have no qualm with cybernetic dismemberment - if you really want to call it that

Sweet...first I would like to say thanks for taking the time out to read this story! I definitely appreciate the comments on the visual aspect of my work, but I put a lot into the accompanying stories that I often do along with my images and love to get feedback on that as well!
I'm currently in the midst of revamping the storyline/continuity of my OC's universe in the same vein of the new DC 52 or the Marvel reboot; it was time to shake things up a bit and freshen up some of the stories and ideas that I had. I didn't want to take the traditional "superheroine saves the world over and over and over again" bit...it's been beat to death. I've been combining previously separate characters, getting rid of some things, adding some things, keeping some things, etc. Everything is still a work in progress and subject to change...the writing is a bit jarbled here and there, as I just want to get something down on paper for right now. And I do have a bad tendency in my writing to be repetitious. But as you said, I'm trying not to focus too hard on the details right now and I'm having fun with the process!
And yes, knowing your art and the frequent subject matter, I know that you share my same twisted like of cybernetic dismemberment!
