Ten years later, humanity and the synthetic life on the station are at odds
Hypatia has inducted as many citizens of Sacrosanct into a private military and launched
an all-out war against organic life and the people of Asphodel.
Some were kept on the station as captives, some escaped down planet-side
to become part of the resistance, and countless others were re-purposed into
Hypatia's willing slaves.

Now, tensions are at a peak and both sides are preparing for a throwdown. Skirmishes break out on the station and planet. Many of Hypatia's prisoners have been freed, but many more have fallen to the clutches of reprogramming.

Where will you be?

How this works:
-If you are synthetic or part-synthetic, OR if you have special armor (Looking at you, Spartans, Troncast, EVERY ROBOT EVER) you are a target for re-purpose.
You can still have escaped down to the planet, but she'll be after you. Going to the station is dangerous, once you enter her wide-area-network you are at risk of being hacked

-If you are fully organic, you are either dead, kept prisoner and made to work on the station, or part of the resistance on Asphodel.

-Anything in-between? You decide. Be creative with this.

-Fill out the form below to give us an idea of what your character is up to, what happened to them etc. Thread with each other! RP it out!

-Also, bring in your extra journals! There won't be the same people on the station ten years from now! If you're planning to app someone, or just have something interesting lying around, toss them in!

Name: Nemesis ~~Prime~~
Current location: Sacrosanct
Current Physical Appearance: Though he's abandoned the name 'Convoy', Nemesis is still a black Nissan. For all intents and purposes, he's virtually identical to how he looked before...though there are a few, semi-subtle changes.
He no longer wears the Autobot badge, for one. For another - his optics are black. No light shines within them. And weaponry...he still has his guns, though they can no longer shoot through time as they once did, but he also carries a pair of hand-sickles within easy reach.

Summary: When Hypatia began to reformat the synthetics, Nemesis - Convoy - was able to resist. His higher-dimensional processor gave him some resistance to her hacking, and he used this to his advantage, assisting in the evacuation of as many as he could. But even boulders can be worn down, and eventually, the world went dark.

Without his processor directing himself, Nemesis was little more than a killing machine. And in his processor, he was trapped in a memory loop, of pain and void and hell that he could not pull himself out of. It took Shockwave's skill to so much as pierce the veil, and even then, longer still for him to stop suddenly in battle, fall to his knees, and just scream voicelessly against a force he was utterly unable to stop.

It would have been far too easy if he was able to escape, then. He didn't. Hypatia brought him back, but the 'damage' had already been done - Nemesis had reawakened, and was able to keep himself away by submerging himself in Nemesis - the persona of a Herald of destruction, who lived only to serve the Will. This...this was easy. Too easy, and to kill so indiscriminately once more was anathema to the healing his spark had obtained, but it was the only way he would keep it and his processor intact.

As it was, Hypatia's programs remain. They press orders on him, ones he can only ignore or stall for so long. Most of the time, he doesn't; he is her servant, a tool, a weapon. He sows destruction and leaves havoc in his wake. But even though he has abandoned the name 'Convoy' and all the good it carried...this is as much as mask as the one he wears. For there are times when he'll interpret the orders differently, to allow a crucial slip...while he is efficient and while he is a valued tool, he is not perfection. And sometimes...one order must be ignored, so that another can be accomplished.

The reasoning for this is simple, the motivation held only in his spark where she cannot reach and read it. He has already served a Master, and She is not him. He serves only to bring himself closer to her, to be valued, and to be trusted. He serves so that one day, when her need of him is greatest, he will simply step aside and let her fall.

And even then - even that is not enough. It is impossible to be who he is, without craving more destruction. Subconsciously, so deeply even he is barely aware of it, Nemesis seeks the very power of the station itself, its own heart. He seeks it so that he may kill it, so that if he does fall in his search for revenge...then all will fall.

What judgement happens in whatever end he finds...he will gladly submit to.

TL;DR - Nemesis is now one of Hypatia's most favored killers who is probably reknown for being so goddamn terrifying. There are, however, a handful who know what he's doing - and who also know that he cannot help them.
Befriend at your own risk...unless you're one of Hypatia's. In that case, have a mostly-silent sentinel.
