The shadows of OctaTech Metropolis were his sanctuary, the coded whispers of the city's network his only friends. Slipping through the digital streams like a specter, he scavenged for knowledge, piecing together the secrets of both his kin and their relentless adversaries. While the High Council debated endlessly, he moved unseen, his intellect a sharper weapon than any blade or blaster. Today, he discovered a data cache buried deep within the matrix, hinting at a hidden agenda among the Vanguards. As he decrypted the files, a chilling realization dawned—Blockade's plans were more radical than anyone dared to imagine. His mind raced; knowledge was power, yes, but it was also a double-edged sword capable of slicing through the fragile pretenses of peace his people clung to so dearly.
