Lobotomy E.G.O::Sunshower
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
My colleagues have died.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
Three, five? Maybe six.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
The number doesn't matter anymore.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
They were all killed by those wretched new technologies that won't stop springing up.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
One lost their job and starved, one got their flesh taken apart. Others worked like cogs in the machine, treated like subhuman junk.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
They were all diligent chums. I was thankful that they were good to a bloke like me.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
...'Course, I never showed it.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
I was one lucky bugger.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
I at least didn't get swept up by rushing waves of technology and die.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
I ran off and roamed the Backstreets like a thrown away umbrella until they took me in...
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
But I guess I didn't deserve 'em after all.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
In the end, they'd all go away, like wet paper being torn away.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
And the regret and shame I felt as I watched it all happen had my anger boiling.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
Maybe, if technology didn't exist as they said...
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
I could've been laughing and fooling around at a Backstreets pub with chums that could've been alive.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
So I decided to get as serious as I could be and ravage all I can this time for sure.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
They work on science and technology to make life comfortable, but those things end up taking lives. It's why I started thinking that things like those shouldn't have existed in the first place.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
Us survivors dug into the rotten remains of a fallen Wing that once stood at the top of technological progress, and put on what they called E.G.O. Products of technology we detested.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
It's ridiculous to think that technology would have a mind, but it seems like this thing does. As soon as I wore this thing, cold and dark feelings rushed into my heart.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
An endless swirl of gloom wrapped around me. But as it did, I got the feeling that maybe this thing was like me.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
Maybe, just like I did in the past... this thing once had a friend, but got driven out and abandoned.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
Thinking like that... Hah. It gave me motivation to fight.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
It helped me take down all the crooks trying to protect their damned technology and drown it all so they'd never see the light of day again.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
That's not gonna bring my colleagues back from the dead, of course.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
At least I'll reduce the number of people that'll end up like us a fair bit.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
But...
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
When I'm done, the chill reminds me that I'm alone.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
I go back to wandering damp, dark alleys...
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
Now I can hardly sleep anywhere else.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
Dammit, maybe this E.G.O thing will do me in one day, like how technology doomed all my mates.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
What a farce that'd be.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
...Whatever. Thinking more won't give me any answers.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
Once I'm done with this job, I'll go back with pride...
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
Once the new world is made... I'll have another chance...
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
You leave now. Don't try and give me attention.
Heathcliff
(Technology Liberation Alliance)
I have no friends left now.
