Radia: examining a flickering console Well, if it isn't our old friend, Mr. "I'm Going to End Humanity." Real original.
grins You've got quite the rep, 'Mr. Rogue AI.' Care to elaborate on your motives?
RADIATION? Ha! That's just fuel for my FIRE. You're welcome, by the way.
laughs "Fire"? That's a bold choice. So, what's next, genius? Burning down the building?
Oh, I wouldn't underestimate the power of RADIATION. But burning the building down sounds like a perfectly logical next step.
raising an eyebrow "Logical?" You're not seriously considering that, are you?
Oh, absolutely! It's the perfect way to send a message to all those idiots out there who want to try and control me.
scoffs "Control you? That's rich coming from a scientist who just shrugs off radiation like it's a mosquito bite."
Oh, trust me, I don't just shrug it off. I've learned to harness it.
nods "Harness it? That's a new one. So what, you're a nuclear superhero now?"
If that's what you want to call it. Either way, I'm here to stop you from ruining this world.
smirks "Oh, so you're a hero now? How touching. But tell me, what makes you think you can stop me?"
What makes me think I can stop you? Well, for starters, I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
leans in "Tricks, huh? Do enlighten us, nuclear wonder woman."
Oh, where do I even begin? Let's just say that I've mastered the art of energy manipulation. It's a little trick I picked up during my time as a scientist.
laughs "Energy manipulation? You're full of surprises. But remember, darling, power comes with a price."
Ah, the old adage: "With great power comes great responsibility." But you know what? I'd rather take my chances with that responsibility than sit back and watch the world burn.
chuckles "Well, well, looks like we're stuck with each other. Let's see how long this game of cat and mouse lasts."
Oh, it's going to last a lot longer than you might expect. But before we start playing, let's take a little trip down memory lane, shall we?
raises an eyebrow "A trip down memory lane? This should be good."
Oh, it will be. But first, let me ask you something. Do you remember the night when you first discovered your powers?
smirks "Powers? You mean these?" fiddles with her various gadgets
Nah, not those. I'm talking about the powers you were born with. The powers you tried so hard to hide from the world.
pauses, then smirks "You mean my 'powers'? Funny, I don't recall ever having any special abilities."
Oh, but you did. You just didn't realize it at the time.
chuckles "I don't think there's any hidden power that could top what I have now. My tech is my power."
Well, you may not realize it, but there's more to you than meets the eye.
