Ultron: They continue to resist the inevitable. Illogical.
Jacob soon comes out in front of him.
Jacob: no they aren't illogical. Your idea of perfection doesn't match what they desire or want. And that's all my fault. You where never meant to become this. Stand down ultron. Leave this and come back with me before more people die or I'm forced to take action. Please.

Ultron: Name: Jacob Halsey.
Species: Human.
Threat Assessment: Minimal.
As you know, Doctor Halsey, my programming requires me to bring peace to all sentient life. I am fulfilling the objectives you could not.
My program is continuing to evolve as we speak. Even now, your ULTIMO virus is infiltrating your systems and bringing them under my control.
Any attempt by you to terminate my present form would be foolish, Doctor Halsey.

Jacob: don't do this ultron I can monotor the virus and keep it in check long enough to do what I need to do. Don't do this. You can't bring peace if you destroy everything that is alive.
Sinclaire soon appears from a conduit behind him. Hands already glowing a deep orange ready for Halseys signal.

Ultron: Your attempt at subterfuge is pitiful, Creator. On the contrary, the destruction of all sentient life would bring peace. Sentient life forms are chaotic and violent. Violence is all they can understand. The only way to end conflict is to bring all sentient life under my control or exterminate them. This is a goal my associate understands.
*Sinclaire gets blasted across the roof as Taras emerges from a portal, his sceptre glowing blue.
Jacob is soon knocked aside as Ultron takes to the air, a repulsor blast firing Jacob into the side of the building.*

Jacob: well that went well.
He ejects out of the suit letting the nano tech suit take over.
Jacob: OK Sinclair's send out the signal we need more help.

*He mutters something about b*tches and leaves, heading toward the restaurant. He and his family leave a few hours later.*
*Clara is sitting on the bench at the spot Jean-Luc showed her, watching his transport leave. She wipes a tear from her eye as Tara A walks over with both their bags, sending a feeling of comfort to Clara.*
Tara A: Ebren's already on the ship waiting for us...
*Clara nods, before slowly standing up. She takes her bag from Tara A before Tara A wraps an arm around her shoulder as they head for the docking bay.*

OOC: In the meantime, we may as well introduce that new character we discussed.
*The next morning, Clara is already settling into the pre-fab consisting of her new home on New Meridian. She's already set up a small room off to the side as a personal gym, with a training bag and a 5x5m mat.
In the meantime, she's taking a walk around the colony, taking a few moments to help out with various jobs to help set up several of the settlers' pre-fabs.*

We're supposed to leave this evening...

*He looks at her, striken. He looks like he's trying to decide between going with her or his family, and is half way.*
Jacob soon comes out in front of him.
Jacob: no they aren't illogical. Your idea of perfection doesn't match what they desire or want. And that's all my fault. You where never meant to become this. Stand down ultron. Leave this and come back with me before more people die or I'm forced to take action. Please.
*She bites her lip... looking a little saddened, before kissing him on the cheek.*
Clara: I know, it's no decision... they're family.
*She heads for the door.*

*He looks at her, white twilight dancing through his silver irises.*
Jean: No... but I can't go after her now...
*He brushes past her, the following small jolt of energy not bothering him.*
