About
The Maddie Mk2 may sound like some kind of robot, but she's actually just a heavily augmented Predator who has been specifically outfitted to ensure the protection of a single occupant housed within her synthetic womb. Why was she created and where did she come from? Both good questions, so let's start with the why. Sometime in the distant future the Earth becomes a warzone with the human race fighting off AI controlled machinery not unlike Skynet and the Terminators. Only predators are able to overpower their mechanical enemies, but unfortunately for them the machines realize this and begin targeting their crops...those who aren't pred capable known only as Prey. This forces predators to begin augmenting their bodies so they can protect their crops, thus the Maddie MK1 was created and it allowed the remaining predatory survivors to continue fighting back.
The Maddie Mk2 was still in the prototype phase when the lab where it was housed fell under attack. It was thought to be lost along with all the schematics and data pertaining to it...but somehow she, the only prototype, would manage to escape unharmed using an experimental transportation device built into her. That answers the questions of where she came from and why she was made. The only thing left to ask is where did she end up? Nexus City, she was thrown out of a wormhole into Nexus City and since then she's been in standby mode waiting to be found...the first person to activate her will be in for a shock though as her base programming requires her to scan them and determine if they are pred or prey, only her scanner was damaged so she'll see everyone as prey...and should you be the first to find her you'll find yourself forcibly unbirthed, pulled into her synthetic womb and hooked up to various cables and other monitoring hardware before it fills with stasis fluids.
Customization
Machine Learning
While in her factory settings Maddie has no allegiance to anyone or anything. This will change once she's linked to a Pilot and she will begin learning from them via the link and their actions. Default Alignment: Chaotic Neutral - Maddie hasn't yet picked a side but she doesn't value one more than the other due to the fact that Food is Food no matter if it's seen as Good or Evil. This is considered to be her Factory Default Setting and in her default setting she has no additional abilities aside from super human strength and advanced intelligence. Her Pilots alignment will determine hers over time and will allow her to unlock hidden abilities.
A pilot who has a Neutral Evil alignment will Unlock abilities like Infect: Maddie has learned to repurpose her nanites in order to assimilate organic beings into a sort of Collective and this will allow her Pilot to control anyone who's been infected from the safety of the Cockpit/Womb. Whereas a Pilot with a Neutral Good alignment will unlock abilities like Friend or Food: Maddies Nanites are upgraded with friend or foe detection and can be used to heal allies or damage enemies they are injected into.
Upon reactivation Maddies pilot will be given a character customization interface not unlike one found in video games where they will be able to modify her appearance. Whatever they can think up, Maddies nanites can grow...but after the initial character creation any modification will cost additional biofuel/biomass to produce more nanites. One full grown meatcicle will allow the pilot to make two modifications ex: growing a tail capable of swallowing prey and adding additional pudgy protection to the cockpit.
Day 1: Maddie, meet Kate
Back in her time / universe the lab where Maddie was being augmented came under attack and during the attack Maddie was pushed into a portal by one of the researchers so that she wouldn't fall into enemy hands. Unfortunately no date, time or destination was entered which left Maddie tumbling though space and time until she was eventually spat out above Nexus City, but by that time her power supply had been severely drained. She crash landed near The Mists where she would remain until a suitable pilot was found which luckily didn't take too long. A young womna by the name of Kate would find herself dragged into a pile of scrap by cables that latched onto her, those cables then pulled her into the body of a 10' tall woman...more specifically into the womans slit. This initiated her backup systems and Maddie was able to come online now that she had a pilot linking her to them. Kates mechanized companion who shared the same name, Maddie, would leap into action at Kates request before she had the chance to introduce herself and inform Kate that she meant her no harm, and that she was stuck in the cockpit now as a result of being designated as her pilot. Once their awkward introduction was concluded Maddie was in need of a biofuel refill, and as luck would have it there was a jogger nearby that she could process into just that...biofuel. A chase ensued through the park, into an alley and finally into a building where the jogger hoped she could squeeze through a small hole where Maddie wouldn't be able to follow...sadly that mousehole had been boarded up and she would be caught, swallowed, processed and forgotten.
Now that she'd fueled up maddie followed...Maddie back to Kates hideout while Kate made herself comfortable, used the free wifi a little and seemed to accept that this wasn't so bad. After a short tour of the tower she called her hideout they would make thier way to her room, there Maddie and her discussed the possibility of adding an antenna so Kate could game while Maddie was out ana about, initially Kate suggested a back mounted one but she was informed that a crotch mounted antenna would be better and even serve multiple purposes. The upgrade menu she showed Kate also detailed components they would need to construct reformers for both her and Kate, something that they would no doubt need down the line considering Maddie wasn't designed to comabt magic users and they might run into some problems dealing with them. Kate provided Maddie with intel on possible locations for components they would need for both the antenna upgrade and the reformers, the two are in the process of contacting Arianne Apeldorn in the hopes of fooling her into thinking they/Maddie are looking to sign with her company. Maddie fabricated an online profile for herself while she waited for Arianne to answer and if all goes well they won't have to risk raiding a facility to get what they require.
Arianne appears to have bought Maddies little charade and she's put her in touch with Sierra Stevens from marketing and she's got a lunch date set to meet up with her to answer a few questions. Not wanting to give off any more nudist vibes than she already had, Maddie would decide that she needed to find somewhere to buy some clothing...only it's not easy to find your size when you're...well, her size. While she was busy clothes shopping L33t got to explore her core systems as if she was a program herself, there she found information on Maddies strengths and weaknesses as well as her equipment manager. With l33t poking around in there Maddie made her way to Military Threads located in Tell Lane, there she hoped to find a tactical body suit in her size...but instead she found Lunch aka a Hero by the name of Copy.
Copy attempted to recruit her into the NCHA and Maddie let her believe she'd succeeded, eventually the blonde led her to Weeks Row where Maddie turned on her and revealed she had no plans to join the NCHA...she just wanted the free food that came with the sales pitch. Copy tried to satisfy Maddies hunger by offering up one of her copies, or rather the copy offered herself up...but why stop at just one? Maddie made it clear that she wasn't going to let Copy Prime get away when she shoved another Copy aside and rammed her fist into Primes gut. This action not only wounded Copy Prime, but appeared to cause her physical state to be mirrored by the current copy and the one she created after the initial blow. Finally after two hits to the gut Copy Prime went down like a sack of bricks and all she'd managed to do is scratch Maddies face a little. l33t was able to locate Copy Primes reformer which Maddie then crushed before she made the two remaining copies watch as she devoured her. Copy Prime got the rare privilege of seeing her own future when she was deposited into Maddies stomach, there she found the ruined remains of the first copy she fed to Maddie...a gorey glimpse of what she'd soon look like. The two remaining copies soon joined her and Maddie would make her way back to Military Threads, leaving behind only a pair of slimy, blood drenched footwear in Weeks Row for someone to find as evidence of what had happened.
After lunch Maddie returned to Military Threads where she was greeted by Emi the adorable sales girl who admitted that she'd been hoping Maddie would come back. She seemed turned on by the sight of that heavy, groaning meat filled belly of Maddies that was still (for the moment) squirming, as the two chatted and Maddie inquired about the roommate wanted ad, Copy Prime and the last two of her copies were crushed to death, combined into one giant ball of meat and slowly broken down into biofuel and nutrients which would be fed into the life support system and provided to Kate. Maddie decided to take Emi up on the roommate ad as it would provide somewhere to lay low, Kates hideout was great, but they needed somewhere less conspicuous with someone who could be their alibi readily available. Emi seems to be torn between loving and fearing the idea thanks to a little teasing, she's not sure if Maddie was joking or not about when she eventually evicts her, or if Maddie really does plan to earn her trust only to then devour her in her sleep one night.
Sierra Stevens seems to have been impressed by Maddie while also being terrified by her at the same time, she seems to have that affect on people in the city so far. As a result she landed herself the parts for her antenna as well as the title of Apeldorn Partner. Arianne herself emailed to congratulate her and provided Maddie with target data for three individuals that if dealt with would be good for the company's bottom line. The first being Torment of the Blindsiders, followed by none other than Magus and finally Coma of the Blitzers. Coma seemed to be the best option so Maddie and l33t agreed on her and had Arianne ship the parts to Emis apartment, speaking of Emi, she would get a taste of what living with Maddie was going to be like when Maddie tore her wrapper off and made the poor thing think she was going to batter her while she was installing her new antenna. Luckily Maddie wasn't really going to do that...yet, so Emi would get to live another day, but now she'll be living in a state of constant fear when Maddies around...is it her expiry date, or is Maddie just messing with her again?
With her antenna installed Maddie had l33t scour the net for signs of Coma, but the search resulted in a dead end. They would have to go shake down some of her goons at in the warehouse district for the intel they needed. Snack One and Snack Two were in the process of loading a van with stolen goods when Maddie approached, first trying to get them to turn on their boss which failed, but she did manage to scare one of them into telling her that Comas at the docks.
