Special Operations - Octessence: Mission 3: Madripoor

Mission Start
Coulson: Good thing you got there when you did, Stonecutter has been turning his followers into something like Prime Sentinels.

Omega Sentinel: Whatever he's doing is also attracting actual Sentinels.

Wolverine: How?

OS: I don't know, it's like a blinking signal saying "come here". If I get close enough, I could pinpoint the source.

W: Lead the way.

Miniboss reveal
Coulson: We just spotted something on satellite that looks a lot Like Omega Sentinel.

OS: It's not.

C: Here's the coordinates.

OS: Scanning.... Hmm... that appears to be a Madripoorian woman with cybernetics built partially using Sentinel tech.

C: Partially?

OS: Certain aspects of her design seem to be mystical in nature.

C: Must be Stonecutter's work. What's that symbol on her?

OS: Ra, it's a Tamil letter: ர

C: As far as we know, Stonecutter is Thai, not Tamil. Maybe she is?

Doctor Strange: I suspect it was chosen to honor Raggadorr, or ரவடொற் as it would be spelled in Tamil.

OS: I'm moving to take a closer look.

C: Understood, be careful.

Miniboss Start
OS: (Ra Sentinel. Stonecutter created you?)

RS: (Stonecutter told me to expect heroes.)

OS: (We're here for Stonecutter, get out of the way and we'll leave you alone.)

RS: ... (Well, Stonecutter created me to...)

C: Is she malfunctioning?

OS: I think she's trying not to laugh actually.

RS: Sorry, it's just that your Tamil sounds like it was translated by a machine. Your English sounds like it's spoken by a Hindi. Delhi?

OS: West Bengal.

J: Aww, how cute, the killer cyborgs get along with each other. I thought you were gonna fight.

OS: If she doesn't get out of the way...

RS: Which I won't.

mid-fight
OS: Are you really planning to fight to the death to protect Stonecutter?

RS: But that... it's not what I want to do, but...

lose
RS: Well that was easier than I thought it'd be.

Win
Coulson: That was one chatty Sentinel.

Wolverine: Yeah, definitely not Bastion's work.

Doctor Strange: I suspect that Raggadorr is not interested in mindless pawns.

Juggernaut: Oh right. I forgot that part. The Octessence want people to worship them. That's why they're doing this.

DS: Ah, that makes sense.

Coulson: Wait, wouldn't that mean Cyttorak expects us to worship him in exchange for his assistance?

J: Kinda, but his idea of worship is flexible.

W: Marko, don't make me regret helping you.

Boss Reveal
J: There he is.

C: What's he doing?

J: Remember the God Machine?

C: I saw some notes about that in the files.

J: Well this building looks like it's been remodeled to do something similar.

DS: Is that allowed by the rules of the new wager?

J: I guess so, he's using the power of Raggadorr to spread Raggadorr's influence.

C: So mind-controlled worshippers count, but robots don't?

DS: Also it seems to count if beings were created solely to serve as worshippers.

J: Yeah, I don't get it either. Oh well, time to go "worship" Cyttorak.

C: By smashing Stonecutter?

J: Yup.
