I was listening to the less depressing news “Selling body parts has become a big issue. It has been claimed that Trump employees have been hunting down poor people to sell there organ abroad. When questioned about this the Texas governor asked. Where else are we going to get the credits to clean up Texas. Because we are all broke.
A Trump corporation spokesman claimed it was gods will that we allow the death squad clean up the white gutter trash. In other news Trump stock has increased in price. The fourth Reich is offering the noble peace prize to the CEO of Trump industries for helping reduce the population. They have requested however that the death squad focus on the poor genetic undesirables. ” Webnews
A giant robot walked forward shooting out blasts of plasma into the oubliette. Or giant hole in the ground a lot of weird genetic experiments had been thrown into. The oubliette had been behind a lot of the ground breaking research I did. To be fair all we did was toss a lot of moss into the hole and then throw in a lot of nanites. When the moss became stronger and moss monsters began to evolve we simply tossed in garbage to see what could survive. The local version looked different more than likely they wanted new tank armour types.
We had sent in troops to gather up what we would need to produce nanites to clean up the world. The current garbage pits were far larger. The newer larger holes worked better to a point but nanites still tended to get out of hand. I looked down from the sixty foot war machine I was in and A control pointed at the old oubliettes. “There filling them with a little water now start to reduce the temperature”
I focused and the temperature began to drop. From below I heard screams as figures appeared and ran screaming at hole. One of the figures held onto the concrete and began to rip holes in it. A giant bolt of plasma hit the figure and there was nothing left of the figure. I sensed the nanites resisting me and looked at captain George. A British special forces captain who had joined the fourth Reich. “There is something in there trying to resist me.” “Yes sir its why your here we want it dead. Better you than we have to drop a nuke in there. And pray nothing eats the energy from the nuke.”
I got busy it was actually harder stopping whatever was down there trying to rip the six feet of basically diamond walls holding it in place than reducing the temperature to a degree that the main controller would be forced to act. About three hours into it there was a massive scream and what looked like a cloud of darkness exploded out. There were millions and millions of nanite infested flies down there.
The cloud flew threw the air and then began to fall from the sky. It was to cold for the flies. I heard a scream “Sonic attack deploy”. A super was pushed out a side door and he released a scream which caused temporary disorientation. It was enough the flies broke apart and the cold turned them all into ice covered horrible ice cubes.
George had the sonic super launch blasts at the large structures on the bottom of the hole. The giant structures exploded kind of like boils. That's when a soldier called out “Its the main nanite controller I can see it its been injured. We can take it alive” Everyone broke into cheers and soldiers in jet packs rapidly descended. George called out “I want less than five deaths but if you kill it alpha squad I will have you all skinned alive.”
Alpha squad leader grunted “This gets me ten years off my prison sentence?” George grabbed the micro phone “Bring this in I will get you twenty off your sentence and fifty thousand credits for you five for each of your men.” “For the motherland and my credits.” I looked at George “I am going to stop the temperature dropping any further near Alpha squad.” George spat “Good plan we do not want our prize to die on us”

Alpha squad leader began to curse as massive shapes appeared and were shot at my the lasers and rail guns on the war machine I was standing on. One of alpha squad was grabbed by a tentacle dog creature and his head and the creature exploded at the same time. Alpha squad surrounded a spike and Beta squad arrived and began to cut everything up. A hour later everything of value had been harvested and I was given the all clear o drop the temperature while more water was dropped slowly enough to drop in temperature but not cold enough to freeze yet.
I helped process the meat of the moss creatures while keeping the temperature dropping. It was hard but processing the creature body parts helped me increase in power. Hans had a bunch of children brought and they were all injected with nanites harvested from the main creature. Personally I hoped it did not kill any of them.
George gazed lovingly at one of the children and gave me a thumbs up. He then passed me a screen with a list of rewards. I could take cash or some of the monster parts. I took the monster parts and a vial of nanite controls ooze. I turned all the monster parts into a gruel with the nanites and then used the gruel to produce a small jar of brown mud. The mud would boost my regeneration so if someone ripped out my ability to drain energy and the other ability I took from Electra I could at least keep my other abilities. Or at least that was the theory.
The main spike that had controlled the moss creatures was removed by what looked like a giant flying football pitch. Hans would more than likely be using it to try and re repair me when he was finished ripping out my energy drain ability. Still I was fairly certain Hans would let me live afterwards. George passed me a bottle of actual orange juice and we set off leaving a frozen hole behind us.
I starred at the silk looking cover they had put over the hole to keep the ice frozen as long as possible and realised that Hans seemed to have a lot more pull than he used to have. At least everyone was nice to me. George being in a good mood brought me to see the latest prototype war machine.
George grinned “We are selling these to Trump Corporation for there death squads. Best in the world not like those new American war robots which fall apart. The Russians have some decent machines as well of course but they hate the Americans to much to sell to them. America used have the best war machines but with the famines there lagging behind now. ”
The Havoc a thirty foot tall war machine had heavy armour. It was armed with a new plasma based weapon and a few force field generators. George pointed at the armour “Regenerating or it will regenerate up to a point. There is a liquid layer under the main armour and when penetrated it will form a scab while repairing the armour. The Havoc has force field generators they are designed to slightly alter the flight of a attacker. There also modular so you can change them they have been promising energy drainers for a while. Maybe your new ability will lead to advancements.”
The Havoc certainly looked far more brutal that sixty foot war machine I had been in before. I looked up and noticed the cockpit looked like a American liquid version. George grinned “They finally let me install a liquid nanite cockpit. You can not run around in it but the pilots can take more g force and its a lot smaller. Leaves more room for armour”
George pointed at its main gun. “The havoc main weapon is plasma based. It fires a sheet of fire so hot it can evaporate metal. Honestly this is a anti super weapon. Give me a decent rail gun any day against tank or other robots.” I looked at the Havoc and wondered if they had brought it in to protect me or make sure I did not run away. George grinned at me “This is over kill if they wanted to keep you here. That little girl could do it. No this is to stop anyone who wants you dead. A super coming to kill you would have armour to stop your ice powers not armour to block plasma.”
George grinned “Of course its nice but its no caterpillar. Sure it looks nice but it wastes space on the jet pack that allows it to fly. The caterpillar is just a few containers wielded together and put on tracks or with legs attached under it. For half the price of this admittedly gorgeous flying machine it has five times the mass. Still this is a piece of art which helped with the re design of the new caterpillars.”
In the air massive bolts of light struck down and in the distance I heard explosions. Over head a swarm of drones took off heading towards the fighting. George laughed “We let them near one of the pits you guys brew up your magic nanites. Then we let the creatures out. It saved you a couple of days work reducing the temperature. We will go in when there finished and mop up”
