A human turned terminator

[anewhero]

 Marcus Wright took a brief walk through the nexus, nodding and looking through the crowds for any signs of a Skynet attack, which luckily there was none.

Marcus was quietly loading a gun in a chair nearby and frowned.

"I'm getting old.."

"But I know I'll never die."

Marcus looked up after touching his face

"So my question is the age old question, if you were a cyborg terminator like me, would you choose to watch everyone you love die in front of your very eyes?"

"What the fuck is a cyborg terminator. Also, the trick is to not love. Simple."

Sassy little green man on the scene.

"Wait, how is this a choice at all. What's even the other option? Kill 'em yourself? Close your eyes? Bitch, what?"

[anewhero]

"Simple, a advanced machine with skin. That a good enough response for you?"

The gun's already loaded and aimed at the green man " It's a question of immortality!"

Marcus mutters out a short string of curse words as the anti-violence field shows itself.

"No, cuz I know what a cyborg is. But a terminator is, what. The guy who hands out the pink slips? Isn't that sort of thing for interns?"

Aaaaand there's a gun in his face. Shark jumps, even though he knows he can't get injured. There's just certain things that'll always get you a squirt of adrenaline in the ol' brainpan. Guns in the face is one.

"Holy shit, Beavis, chill out. Immortality sounds dumb as hell, yeah. But what's your question even mean? Choose to watch 'em die orrrrr...what? Bounce on 'em? Never know love? Cuz again, that's an option if you're looking for one. A timesaver too."

"Advanced AI, one that probably could hurt people a lot if the anti-violence field wasn't up.

"Look, i used to be human. I don't mind being a Cyborg now."

"Are you always this aggro? No shit you could hurt a lot of people if it wasn't up. Are you trying to tell me that it's all that's keeping you from shredding people on the reg? Because if yes, there are way deeper issues here than you watching your beloved dog die or whatever." Like HOW they died.
