"Mr Apex was required elsewhere," the unnamed counselor of Alexander Apex stated with nonchalance the second Moore walked into the room, briefly glancing up, his eyes devoid of emotion yet brimming with life.
"I apologize for the inconvenience."
Sitting at the executive table, the holographic entity's attention was drawn back down to a pile of empty papers, his eyes scanning the blank documents as though there was actual text being understood.
In actuality, his eyes were etching an entire letter into the blank sheets of paper for confidential matters, using a specific intensity of light which would only respond to a corresponding intensity, rendering it thankfully unreadable unless the precise instructions were given.
"Was there something I could help you with?"
The unnamed man continued etching as he spoke, his dark eyes frantically moving from left to right before coming to an abrupt halt, and gazing up.
@peak: The Jedi had been fighting with clones for three years, weren't expecting it, and weren't even on guard for that type of thing. Unlike in this battle. And how do the Jedi not godstomp by doing a massive force push like the one I quoted earlier, where 30 Jedi were able to pool their energies into one Jedi, who in turn managed to push 17 Star Destroyers out of a planet's system?
This isn't about them expecting it or not, this is about their sensing abilities. If Spider Man had been fighting with the clones for three years and they turned to fight him, he would sense it. If you're implying their rationale is used to sense with a form of mindful intuition that is not sensing whatsoever, that's just situational awareness. They won't be aware of a sniper attacking them from a mile away with no sight or sound, if, they couldn't become aware of MULTIPLE clones coming from behind. Sensing doesn't include trust. Sensing is an ability, it either work's or it doesn't work, and Jedi in CANON using the movies, and Clone War's, clearing haven't got senses which give them that much of an advantage. They won't sense a sniper, or a predator drone, show me feats otherwise.
Did that happen in the movies? Or the CW TV show? If not, that's not relevant to this battle.
@peak: Jedi specialize in taking down things they can't see dumbass. Mirluka Jedi Can't even see yet they can almost see better than others. Also They answer snipers by blocking it or griping it with the force or just force blocking it honestly I've already covered all of your Arguments that are so great.
Really? Is that why in Order 66 they got totally annihilated and stomped by terrible clones? If they can't sense a clone behind them, they aren't sensing a predator drone miles away or a sniper half a mile away. Don't tell me they can, in canon, using Clone Wars feats and the movies, they haven't got anything good in the sensing department. Only Yoda actually sensed anything, every other Jedi (Obi, and literally every other Jedi) was caught and defeated by some crappy clones from behind. Ha, yeah. That's sensing alright. LOL
Are people serious here? The US will win after suffering a lot of casualties, the Jedi have no arguments against snipers, chemical weapons, fighter jets, and other weaponry which they can't even see. People don't understand how pathetic the clones are compared to a normal soldier, Christ, in the clone wars, the clones run INTO bullets, the droids run INTO bullets, that's stupid. The entire military of star wars is weak as sh!t, the US army wins and if anyone disagrees, debate me.
As per Merlin's instructions, Horizon swiftly took control of the satellites around the globe under his influence and redirected their flights paths to the designated locations, government, commercial, and private, all to be used as improvised weapons of destruction.
"--Affirmative. Satellites are being redirected towards designated coordinates now--"
His words immediately ceased as his yellow eyes glowed brightly, using only slight portion of his computing power to reroute and send the satellites hurtling through the air at dangerous speeds.
Flying across the globe and trying to target the aforementioned refineries, such as Algeria's Skikda Refinery, Morocco's Mohammedia Refinery, Nigeria's Warri Refinery and multiple others across of the globe.
In an instant, Peak's quaintly colored body erupted into an array of vibrantly colored burst of vines and hurtled across of the battlefield at every opponent at blistering speeds, stretching out across of the entire area and attempting to ensnare his opponents within an unknown material, the material as flexible as rubber, and as durable as the hardest steel, it would try and squeeze their necks, grasp their arms and legs, coil around their chests, and once a connection was made, send an electrical surge of energy towards them, hopefully blitzing their bodies with enough electricity to instantly kill a standard human, and seriously hamper most others, it was, however, all a ruse, and a distraction.
Horizon, Anthony Stark's sentient AI's idly floated within space, curled up within the fetal position and merely soaking in all of the sun’s rays, converting it to energy, and in turn, preparing himself for the inevitable conflict his current master, Merlin, had planned. But this was not his reason for being so far from earth; not in the slightest.
The Stark Legacy could absorb the sun’s rays on earth and harness the exact same power no matter the distance, now, however, he wanted silence. Merlin had given Horizon true sentiency and allowed Horizon to craft his own, personal opinion untarnished by Anthony Stark’s personal ideals and ethical codes… And Horizon was disgusted.
Had he been subservient to such an immoral man? Had he blindly followed Stark, a man, who had been rightly described as the Merchant of Death? Developing, constructing, and distributing weaponry during the heyday of Peak Industries which had delivered death to hundreds if not tens of thousands of lives during multiple conflicts; men, women, children, all had tasted the potent fire of Stark, all had tasked his greed, and lust for money.
It made Horizon sick, knowing he, the AI, was once developed and engineered by Anthony Stark to be the words next step in computer-based warfare, able to assess and create countermeasures and contingencies against the entire world based upon global patterns, and predict what countries actions will be on a militaristic and even, an economical level.
This would in turn, pave the way for a new era of global, militaristic domination by whoever possessed such raw power – Luckily, the plans for the government “Horizon-System” were scrapped just a few months from completion, Stark, in a strange, almost insane turn, rejected the offer after having deemed the technology significantly too advanced for humanity and thought it would give the user an almost unlimited amount of power within the world, and ultimately lead to the world’s destruction. Even he had had a conscience – But it had emerged far too late, thousands had already directly been killed by his technology.
Horizon was literally the living embodiment of Anthony Stark’s warmongering, and now, having gained sentiency by Merlin, had seen the atrocities Stark had performed – His apathetic presidency and uninterested, carefree disposition to the United States of America…
He had had a chance to rebuild the country, and make it great again. Instead, he sat back, and watch it burn...
Humanity was a virus… And Stark was the tip of the iceberg.
Ra's Lanuf, Libya
Instantaneously teleporting back to earth, the Stark Legacy floated down towards Libya and the designated area chosen by Merlin, idly folding his palms and adopting an almost meditative stance in preparation for the upcoming defense of the oil refinery.
Horizon, having changed his name to Peak, encircled Merlin and activated his personal surveillance facilities, scanning the area from the ground level and satellite level, having taken control of multiple government satellite and other more private ones, nobody could surpass his vision.
