Ghost in the Machine

Sorry there's been a long break in posting, I haven't been able to!
I can't use my Technopathy. Well, not on computers anyway. I can still build machines and things, and understand technology instantly, but I can't do anything online. He's watching.

I can only do this because Micah is keeping him busy for a while. He's keeping him distracted with a 'digital avatar', which is fighting with him. I'm going to get him to teach me how he did that, particularly without it getting taken over straight away, it would be very useful.

So, there was this guy. A complete maniac, had a similar sort of technopathy to me, except he sort of brought tech to life, and warped it. When I interact with a machine, I sort of go into it, or mentally interact at machine level. What he did was bring the machine to our level, bring things out of the machine instead of going in, sort of. I still don't quite understand it, but you get the idea.

Anyway, there he was, calling himself 'The Techorator' (I know, I laughed too. Apparently he's going to 'redesign the planet!' Haha.) and his hands are sparking, and little machine-y cables and bits of circuitboard are growing on his arms, while he laughs maniacally and monologs about his master plan, with a big clock ticking away behind him, when Doom shoots him. Just like that. In the head. He makes a gurgly-scream sound, and topples off the gantry, getting tangled in some cables as he falls, and ending up landing in the lava pit he'd been using as a generator (How he was smart enough to set that up, but dumb enough to put a gantry over open lava, I don't know.) He exploded, his stuff exploded, me and Maelstrom protect and whirl everyone out of there, and we thought that was that.

Nope.

He's done a Hana. He uploaded himself. He's alive, and living on the internet. All tech around us is going nuts. He can take over almost anything, like a tech ghost. A toaster tried to kill Doolittle earlier.

I'll post again when I can, but what he'll do next, I have no clue.

Good luck everyone.
