When you get this come find me. There's something that I was just informed of. And I don't want you getting caught in the cross fire of it. I'd hate myself if anything happened to you.

Might as well do this while I'm thinking about it. Hi, I'm Alec McDowell. Figured I'd say hey so that everyone knows I'm the sane one. To put it mildly. I'm sure Maxie's already mentioned my twin brother, Ben. So this is me introducing myself so that everyone knows who I am.

Enough to get me by at least.

Well, I hope you can count me among them.

Re: dictated; filtered to Alec

[lovablex5rogue.livejournal.com]

I can. Thank you.

If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to let me know. You can usually find me in the church in the Satis tower; it's pretty easy to find! [doodles... a little map of how to get there from the lobby 8D]

No offense but I don't think I'd ever step foot in the church. I'm normally in my room or on the roof.

[stares at the map and nods]

Thank you.

Ah? Not a man of God?

Don't worry; I don't mind. It's a place of peace if you ever need it, none-the-less.

Us X5s aren't religious.

It's your own choice; I won't question it.

Re: dictated; filtered to Alec

[lovablex5rogue.livejournal.com]

At the time... no, it wasn't. Back then it wasn't. But I'm glad you're understanding.

Ah... do you mind if I ask you something?

Re: dictated; filtered to Alec

[lovablex5rogue.livejournal.com]

Ask away.

X5's - you, Max, and your brother, Ben...

You were the product of genetic experimentation... correct?

Re: dictated; filtered to Alec

[lovablex5rogue.livejournal.com]

We're genetically empowered super soldiers. Human DNA spliced with cat DNA. Panther more or less. We had surrogate mothers. Made from test tubes. That sort of thing.

I see... And, what's the year, where you're from?

Re: dictated; filtered to Alec

2020

A-ah, is that so?

Was it for the military?

Re: dictated; filtered to Alec

[lovablex5rogue.livejournal.com]

Manticore isn't really... It doesn't really matter. We were raised military though.

Born and bred killers.

...I see...

I'm glad, then. That you were able to escape that life.

Re: dictated; filtered to Alec

[lovablex5rogue.livejournal.com]

We escaped that life sort of. Now that we're here it's an easier escape.

dictated; filtered to Alec

[priestish.livejournal.com]

Were you used? As a weapon, before you escaped?

...Did you kill?

Re: dictated; filtered to Alec

[lovablex5rogue.livejournal.com]

X5s are weapons.

I've killed and manipulated.

dictated; filtered to Alec

[priestish.livejournal.com]

You're not. Not if you don't want to be.

Re: dictated; filtered to Alec

[lovablex5rogue.livejournal.com]

Don't. You don't know about us. About the X5s or Manticore. We've got too much ingrained in us.

[priestish.livejournal.com]

...

You're a good person, Alec. So is Max. And if you're weapons, you're weapons used to protect, not destroy.

Re: dictated; filtered to Alec

[lovablex5rogue.livejournal.com]

You don't know me enough to say that, Abel. But its a nice thought.
