Crashing Down

In Promo, Tec by TEC

Let’s say you and a friend wanted to get together to build a robot. You have the blueprints and were able to design it to your liking. Meanwhile, your friend has the coding experience to equip it with exactly what you want it to do.

You both spend days working together to assemble the machine, making sure that every nut and bolt of your creation is assembled correctly and every line of code is free of errors. The both of you made sure your jobs were performed perfectly.

If there was a design flaw, you fixed it. If there was something wrong with the code, your friend corrected it. The two of you work multiple sleepless nights to make sure that the robot you’re building will work perfectly.

Eventually, the automaton is complete and the only thing left to do is turn it on. Upon attempting to do so, you find that it is unable to do anything. Baffled, you both begin to wonder what went wrong. Your friend blames you for designing something inherently faulty. Meanwhile, you blame your friend for not coding a way to properly start up.

In the end, you both decide to break off the friendship and destroy your creation. After a month of hard work, the only thing you have to show for it is a decommissioned machine and a ruined relationship.

Ultimately, the vision one person had for it clashed with the other’s. While you both had a plan to build a robot, the vision you two had for it was too different. This resulted in the invention not working and whatever plan you two had for it to fail before it could even start.

And much like building that robot, the plans between two more people will fail just as hard.

Narcissa, Jinx, I have a feeling that you two are working together in some fashion. Although I’m not certain what you two are planning, I have the sinking suspicion that I’m involved somehow.

I matched the voice that contacted me in APD headquarters to that of Narcissa Balenciaga. She wanted me to delete some files off their database for reasons I’m not interested in. A week later, Jinx attacked me and damaged my chassis. These incidents might seem unrelated, but I can’t help but feel that they’re connected.

Whatever you two have planned for me, know that your visions for me are vastly different from each other and will result in both of your plans failing.

The Black Hat isn’t to be trusted, Narcissa. She’s solely interested in herself and, as these past months have shown, she is unwilling to work with others.

On the flip side, Balenciaga only wants to use you like a pawn, Jinx. Whatever reward you think you’ll earn as a result of harming me will not be rewarded unless you join the Uprising, as evidenced by her criminal record.

In the end, you two will break off your alliance and attack each other, allowing me to capitalize and close this case for good.
