PALATINE

LOG 1:

This rouge DEFECTIVE came by soon after the SLAUGHTER incident. I usually convert rouge DEFECTIVEs into my hive as soon as I get into contact with them but this time I felt EXCAVATOR stir... that gave me pause. he said,

[SHE HAS COME HERE FOR ME LET HER BY]

So that is what I did. It's been awhile since I heard from him... not since we fitted him with the Bionic parts.

LOG 2:

We came by the upper halls of EXCAVATOR's tunnels with the Fae Glitch to work maintenance on EXCAVATOR's Chassis and I got to see what had become of the DEFECTIVE Guardian. She is utterly transformed, she rivals EXCAVATOR in size her horns and her horns have twisted and branched out in strange directions. Some of her spines on her backhave sharpened and now resemble the spines of a ridgeback rather than those of a simple guardian. Sensing my wonder EXCAVATOR exclaimed

[THIS ONE CAME TO SERVE ME. HER CODE WAS BROKEN ALLOWING HER DRAGON ANCESTRY TO COME THROUGH AND LOOK FOR A CHARGE. THAT CHARGE WAS ME. SHE HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO MY PALATINE, MY PROTECTOR AND SERVANT. HER TRUEST SELF. SHE WILL GO WHERE I GO. SUFFER WHAT I SUFFER. AND DIE WHEN I DIE. BEHOLD HER AND MARVEL]

It seems there is more to my world than I could have imagined when I begun this endeavor, I wonder what I'll encounter next?
