@KaijuBird F. Z-Styx: don't worry, I needed an upgrade after so many battles, I also crafted an Anti-VF crossbow for King Connor in case I'm absent (sees a student about to headbutt another) Jeremy, remember what I said about that tactic?
@KaijuBird Z-Styx: how did you get that upgrade!?!
F. Z-Styx: well, the Second War of the Roses and the Apokalips Crusade took a massive toll on my body to the point of no repairing.
Z-Styx: (points at himself) you're saying my body is getting outdated!?!
@liamingrey17 (Z-Styx also notices that his future variant has switched his body to the more updated C variant.)

F. Z-Styx: “Well, because of my, and by extent your combat experience, they said I was suitable for the job.”
transmission from hunter to bird: "Bird, this is hunter. I encountered some young warriors who want to become alpha-class cyborgs like me and join Raptor machina. They call themselves the desperados."
Hunter: "I see. Very well, sir. I will await transport for myself and the desperados to Leonore's strider for their augmentation. I'm sure she will be excited for her first patients for the alpha class cyborg modification treatment."
Hunter: "good, tell my sister Lenore that she has a series of incoming appointments for cybernetic enhancements waiting for her expertise. And I think that she will want her own ship that can be a mobile cybernetic enhancement clinic."
