Mostly Machine, All Woman

*******************************************
Ah, my sweet dear Rattica…favorite of all that I have ever assimilated. How I miss her standing by my side. I remember our first confrontation in the early days of my rise to prominence as the Cyborg Queen and the formation of my Collective. Rattica was a high ranking augmented B.E.C.A. Agent for Daedalus Industries, just like I once was. In fact she reminded me a whole lot of my former self, Dira Lane; I suppose that’s partly why I adore her so much. She and a cadre of fellow agents were sent to attack my Hive and stop me…little did they know that for most of them this would be a suicide mission.

My drones were too much for Rattica’s comrades to handle, as they overpowered the B.E.C.A. agents with sheer numbers and annihilated them. It was very obvious that Rattica was in a league of her own when compared with her teammates; like a true warrior Rattica made her last stand, tearing through my drones with that amazing sword of hers. I watched her in action, fascinated and somewhat aroused by her incredible combat skills and that statuesque genetically enhanced body of hers…even though she was an organic, I still burned with passion for her! I haven’t felt that way about an organic since I was one myself! Instead of destroy her, I made the decision to spare her life and assimilate her into the Collective.

I commanded my drones to fall back, and gave her the option of surrendering herself to me willingly. Although she was critically injured, Rattica vehemently refused and attempted to escape my lair. Instead of have my drones pursue her; I wanted to test her skills for myself and do a little bit of hunting. I let her run; like a trapped rat she scrambled as best as she could as I followed her throughout the maze-like corridors of my exhaustively sized Hive. Eventually her wounds and extreme fatigue slowed her down; realizing that her attempts to find the exit were futile, she turned to fight me. Once again, she surprised me as she was able to push through her pain and fatigue. She seemed to tap into a reserve energy source and attacked me with a feral ferocity. She actually was able to land quite a few palpable hits that caused moderate damage to my body; to my astonishment she succeeded in dismembering one of my arms! Though weakened, she still proved to be a dangerous threat…I mounted my own attack, yet no matter what I threw at her she wouldn’t stay down. I remember scanning her body…using my X-ray vision to see her broken bones, ruptured organs, and extensive internal bleeding. She made one last lunge at me; I blasted her at her center, ripping straight through her torso and separating the top half of her body from her lower half.

If she weren’t enhanced, she would have died instantly, but her augmented healing factor and the thousands of nanomachines in her body kept her alive…despite the fact that my blast eviscerated her abdominal region and tore her in two. I had her taken immediately to the laboratory and had her transformed into a cyborg. Once my damages were repaired, I wanted to watch Rattica’s metamorphosis…dare I say it, but I had a crush on her and could not wait until her transformation was complete. Even as her body was being worked on, with tears in her eyes she continued to scowl at me and seethed with rage. I tried engaging her in small talk…she wouldn’t speak a word to me; she wouldn’t even give me the pleasure of hearing her scream in agony and terror. The only noise that she would make was occasional small groans and murmurs at the discomfort of the machines and surgical tools flaying into her flesh, cutting away most of her organic components and replacing them with machinery.

Most subjects break and submit to me very early in the transformation process…not Rattica. In all honesty, I can say that I haven’t ever come across any other would-be drone with the willpower that she had! Once her cerebral cortex implants and neural net dataports were installed I plugged in and synced minds; I raped her brain…forcing my programming into her databanks until she called me her Queen. It took hours as she fought me with everything that she had to resist the programming taking control of her mind. I had to dive into the far recesses of what was left of her organic brain to break her…as I strolled through her memories I was indeed impressed by her rich history. Even more interesting to me is that she’s alien royalty…she isn’t from Earth at all! Apparently, she is originally from the planet Asania in the not-too-distant Andromeda Galaxy. And on top of that, she’s very much older than she looks! She has to be at least half a century old, give or take, but she looks like she’s still in her twenties!

That is why I refer to her as Rattica; whereas she thinks it’s her surname and has somewhere added “Simone” as a first name…I happen to know that her true name is Raa’ ticca Xandara. It is also interesting that she came to Earth many years ago with her mother, her middle sister, and her baby sister as they fled from a coup to overthrow her royal family, led by her eldest sister. Tis a shame…it looks as if I’m the only other person in this galaxy besides her mother and her two older sisters that knows about her past; of course her youngest sisters was much too young to remember. In fact, in her current state, I find it somewhat comical that Rattica is a whole lot closer to her youngest sister than she realizes…if only she knew; the dark red hair and skin is so obvious! Part of me feels bad for nearly destroying her mind and causing permanent irreparable damage to her memory banks, but being that her willpower was so strong she left me no choice. Besides, the plans that I had for her were even grander than being an exiled alien warrior princess.

But I digress from my narrative. Just as I reasoned, Rattica would turn out to be a great addition to my ranks, as she proved to be more effective than any of my drones over the next few years. I upgraded her body and she was added to my Elite Drones. After several more years of continued loyalty and extreme efficiency carrying out my “Primary Objective”, I eventually made her my second-in-command standing at my side and also doubling as my primary lover. It was at this time where I started from scratch and constructed a new body for her, making her nearly as powerful as myself.

Time would go on and the Collective would continue to grow. Rattica was responsible for the assimilation of thousands of women into our fold and the deaths of many males; the Primary Objective was at full bore with Rattica and me leading the charge. I had began the construction on a new Hive that Rattica would be the Queen of…however those pesky fools at Daedalus Industries would continue to be a thorn in my side. A group of top B.E.C.A. agents, including three of my old friends turned bitter enemies in Raina Hunter, Denise Hightower, and…the original Genesis…Jessica Gonzales, assaulted me, Rattica, and the group of drones that were preparing the new Hive, destroying it in the process. Midway through the battle, I could feel Rattica’s neural link to the drone network sever after a rough blow to the head scrambled her systems causing her control microchips to malfunction. I watched my beloved “come to her senses”, turning on me and the Collective. I remember the pain and anguish coursing through my circuitry as I was locked into mortal combat with the being that I loved more than anything else. Being that her body was now on par with mine, our second fight proved to be no easy task for me…she held no quarter as she tried to destroy me, cursing me for ruining her life.

She nearly succeeded in destroying me; however I struck her from behind as she was distracted. It hurt my mechanical heart as I decimated the body that I built for her…I had no choice but to destroy her before she and those B.E.C.A. agents destroyed me! My blast tore through the outer armor casing to her energy core, causing her body to explode. If my tear ducts were still in tact, I would’ve cried…I remember watching her burning remains writhing in agony before I was pelted by ballistic fire from the remaining B.E.C.A. agents reminding me that I was still in grave danger. My plan was to take Rattica’s remains back to our Hive to reconstruct, reprogram, and restore her as my own again, but I myself was nearly eradicated by those meddlesome B.E.C.A. agents and I had to retreat without her!

Thinking that I had succeeded in razing Rattica, I continued with my Primary Objective in assimilating the entire female populous of Earth and eradicating the entire male populous. I would soon discover that Rattica hadn’t ceased to function at all, but she had been rebuilt with a powerful new body in her return to service as an agent of B.E.C.A and had a bitter vendetta against me. We have since become vicious enemies and have fought one another on several occasions, nearly destroying each other in each encounter. Most notably, I remember when she and the original Genesis faced me in battle…as I once again was about to kill Rattica, the original Genesis sacrificed her own life to save Rattica; charging into me, knocking both of us into the reactor core of the Hive, and activating a self-destruct mechanism in her body. The blast completely disintegrated Genesis, leaving nothing behind but charred bits and pieces of her metal endoskeleton. She nearly succeeded in destroying me and a considerable part of my Hive as well; I am baffled as in how I survived.

Some of my remaining drones were able to save what was left of my old body, repairing my head and placing it on an Elite Drone body while my current ultra-powerful body was being constructed. I would learn that Rattica was reformulated as Genesis 2.0, vastly improving on the original design of Jessica Gonzales’ formidable cyborg body, and was a part of the Metahuman Crimes Unit in Solaris Valley. The few remaining drones and I went into hiding, rebuilding our empire to its full strength, methodically assimilating more women into our fold as we prepared for another attempt at completing the Primary Objective. I would soon take notice of another powerful cyborg, Adora-1, who was new on the scene and decided to try her hand at being a vigilante superheroine. After I had abducted and assimilated Gemma Kildare, the daughter of a Solaris Valley city official, Adora-1 had made it publically known that she would come after my Collective and save Gemma.

The void that Rattica left in her absence was rather large and I was somewhat apprehensive to let anyone else fill it. Although I am almost completely a machine I admit that I had, and still do, have strong emotions of love for Rattica. Of course I would continue to have mind syncing orgies with my drones for sexual purposes, but I hadn’t felt any strong intimate emotions for anyone since Rattica; Adora-1 had indeed captured my heart at first sight…another cyber-crush if you will.

Since she was looking for me, and I wanted to add her to my Collective as my new herald, I set a trap by sending some of my drones straight to her. While feigning defeat, one of the drones grabbed Adora-1 and teleported her back to the Hive. Adora-1 soon made her way into the inner sanctum and found Gemma Kildare in mid assimilation…I then approached Adora-1 and offered her to join me at my side as my herald and lover, just as I did with Rattica many years before. She stubbornly refused and in very similar fashion to that of Rattica, Adora-1 proceeded to fight my drones and me with great skill. Once again, I was able to overpower my adversary and I took her straight to my private chambers to assimilate her.

Adora-1’s assimilation was nearly complete; I added more cybernetics to her body as well as reprogrammed her…or so I thought I did. Ironically, my former herald Rattica had returned as I was creating my new herald; I was hoping that she had come to return to my love, as I would have had two heralds! But alas, she was there to rescue Adora-1. She interrupted the link from me to Adora-1, stopping the assimilation. Once again Rattica and I engaged in a brutal dance of death; in this particular battle I would gain the upper hand. After I thought I had Rattica defeated, I turned my attention back to Adora-1, who somehow emitted a powerful blast from the diamond implanted within her chest. As I was staggered, Rattica was able to rally and we continued to fight. Just as I was about to deliver a death blow, a high-caliber bullet tore through my skull and scrambled my systems long enough for Rattica to avoid the blow, and for a motley crew of heroines to come and rescue Adora-1 and Gemma while I was incapacitated. They succeed in rescuing Adora-1 as well as destroying a considerable amount of the Hive once again. However…they did not retrieve Gemma, or as I’ve since renamed her, Wire.

Oh Rattica, why did you have to turn away from me and my love? Your place is next to me! I see that you have gone and received a new, much more mechanical body, looking sleek and sexier than ever! I cannot wait until we meet again! You want to destroy me for stealing your life and turning you into a “mechanical monstrosity” and I want to destroy you because if I can’t have you as my lover, then I want you to die so that I can remember you as you once were…not what you are now! If you were smart, you would surrender your body and mind to me once again and take your place at my side! But since you insist on taking out your revenge on me, then so be it. One of these days, one of us will actually succeed in killing the other. Or maybe…just maybe…she’ll return to me if I offer her the knowledge of her past that she so desperately seeks.

Age: What's left of her organic parts and brain are unknown.
Height: 6 feet 3 inches
Weight: 345 lbs.
Eye Color: Light Blue.
Hair: Burgundy-Auburn with black streaks
Nationality: Believed to be American; Simone is actually from Xandara Palace, Ter’enna, Asania...a planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy (She and most people are unaware of this fact)
Race: Believed to be mixed with African-American and Cauasian; Simone is actually half-Asanian (Asanians have naturally dark red hair and dark-medium skin complexions that could pass for being considered racially mixed or Hispanic on Earth
Physique: Muscular and athletic
Powers And Abilities:Genesis is an extremely efficient and powerful cyborg; 97.4% of her body has been replaced with cybernetic machinery and techno-organic components. Her powerful cyborg body in tandem with extensive training and her natural warrior's instinct makes her a highly credible threat in combat situations. Her cyborg body is capable of...but not limited to...the following:

-She has the standard augmented strength, speed, and other augmented natural abilities.

-Her body is constructed of near indestructible yet flexible metallic alloys and other bio-synthetic materials that are resistant to bullets, moderate explosions, fire and other extreme temperatures, surges or high electrical currents, extreme impact, and other harmful and damaging attacks/forces. She is capable of self-repair to serve as a quick-fix for minor damage sustained while on the field of battle.

-Most of her brain has been replaced with a highly advanced computer processor preloaded with thousands of combat sequences and other vital learned skills at the master level from everything to various styles of martial arts, demolitions, vehicle operation and maintenance, hacking, and a plethora of other practical applications. Her brain is linked to the Solaris Valley Police Department Database as well as she has limited access to the FBI's database and intelligence. She can download information at blazing speeds and her natural intelligence has been increased two-fold.

-Genesis is an excellent hand-to-hand fighter and a master swordswoman.

-Jet propulsion flight boosters have been implanted in her back, the back of her calves, and the heels of her feet enabling her to fly for long sustained periods of time.

-Her advanced "bullet time" targeting system is virtually flawless; her reaction time has been heightened 45 times that of a normal human thus allowing her to have calculated durations where it seems as time slows down for her due to her extremely quick reflexes. She doesn't miss her intended targets very much. Her bionic eyes are capable of zooming, panning, X-Ray vision, Thermal Vision, Night/Low-light vision, intermediate medical diagnostic, reading energy signatures, and other extraordinary abilities.

-She has formidable energy shields that can resist extreme amounts of damage without actually damaging her body at all. However, her shields can only take so much damage at one time before they are depleted...once depleted she has to wait until they recharge to full capacity.

-Being that Simone was once assimilated into Sataria the Cyborg Queen's Collective, she still has limited access to the singular network of thought to the Collective. She also has cyber-telepathy abilities, allowing her to sync into other cyborgs and machinery to search for data or even take control.

Random Quirk: Simone's sword is actually from her home planet of Asania, a matriarchal monarchy located within the Andromeda Galaxy. She was a warrior princess thoroughly trained by the royal war guard to the level of an ultimate warrior to one day reign as queen herself, which explains her high efficiency in combat. Unknown to either of them, her youngest sister is actually none other than her comrade-in-arms and fellow SVPD MCU officer...Angie Santana.

Simone's organic brain suffers from Dissociative Fugue Amnesia thanks to Sataria's efforts of turning her into a cyborg plus the many years of her natural psyche being dormant and atrophied by Sataria's programming. Simone barely remembers anything about her life prior to her assimilation and transformation into a cyborg. Memories come to her randomly and she finds herself trying to piece together her memories in her down time.

Wow...talk about one helluva upgrade; Techna definitely outdid herself on Monie's redesign! :whoa: Last time we saw Monie was at the very beginning of this year, and she wasn't lookin' so hot! My original plan was to do a series of pictures going from the pic of her being banged up, through her being dismantled, repaired, and finally rebuilt with a completely new body...but all of that got lost along the way somehow. I've been meaning to upgrade her look for some time now, and here it is! I REALLY love how she came out...she actually looks like a machine and not just a chick wearing a bodysuit! This one took me FOREVER to draw, FOREVER to color, and FOREVER to write the narrative for!!! But I'm very proud how it turned out!

If you don't know...or didn't bother to read ...the narrative was from the POV of Sataria For you loyal fans and longtime watchers, notice that I finally dove into Simone's past...for the longest time no one knew anything about her! (Well, that was partly b/c I couldn't think of what to do for her!) I knew that I was gonna make her and Angie related with the whole alien concept, but since neither she or Angie is aware of their ancestry, why not have Sataria know this info since she was the last to probe Simone's mind? Uh oh...I smell a story coming on in the near future!

It's amazing to see just how far Monie's come over the years! It's like watching my daughter grow up right in front of my eyes!
