Summary:
“I’m not here to kill you, buddy.”
Slowly, Rusty crouched down.
“I’m here to capture you, before Arquebus does.”
or;
C4-621 manages to escape Institute City on his own after V.II Snail’s failed ambush, but with Handler Walter no longer in contact with him, and Balam essentially destroyed, C4-621’s only ally is the disembodied Ayre.
Well, until the RLF swoop in, but that’s its own awkward can of worms.
Current Chapter: 21
