Technologic [fool remix] - Daftpunk

WHO ||  Lila, Astrid, Faye, Topher, Zero, One, GLaDOS
WHAT || Lila and Zero go to confront the technomage One, with a little help from their friends...
WHERE || Downtown London, CalTech building
WHEN || Late March, 2015 [backdated]
HOW || Actionspam

It's been a couple of months since the hacker who goes by the moniker "One" assisted in the attack on the Knights' castle, with the inside assistance of the Artificial Intelligence-turned-human GLaDOS.  Zero has good reason to believe, however, that One hasn't left - that he's waiting for him to come face him, and that the stage he's set for the showdown is the CalTech building in the city, whose employees are off for the week.  Realizing it's likely a trap, Zero's stacked his chips on setting a counter-trap - uploading a virus designed by himself and Topher Brink into the now-cyborg Faye Chamberlain's brain, assuming that he is going to try to hack into her and turn her against them.  

They arrive at the building as the sun is going down, staring up at the building that has a light show of digital streams coursing down the front of it, drawing a snort from Zero.  

"Theatrical jackass."

[ he hesitates for another long moment, before moving towards the bank of computers ] Fine.

Let's end this once and for all. [ his fingers themselves start glowing with energy as he starts across the keys, dancing lines of energy combining with his own well honed skills as he builds the cage that will indefinitely hold the essence of the man he once loved. irving begins to offer protests, but they are quickly muddled into incomprehensible strings of audible static, the 'eye' of glados' form switching from red to yellow before slowly fading out into darkness. ]

[ once it all goes dark, lila slips forward and reaches out to put her hand on his arm. quietly, so no one else can hear, she murmurs: ] We'll figure it out.

[ for zero's sake, because fuck one. ]
