Upon hearing the word that he would be executed should he try to remove whatever this tampering was, Ares began to think that coming out here had been a very bad idea. First he had been forced to let them have more information than he would have wanted. And then they had went and done this modification to him that had caused him likely to blow up if he attempted to use magic of any kind, so he would have to do something to fix that problem he had unfortunately obtained. Specifically he would use his nanites to destroy his ability to perform magic until he could figure out an alternative to the problem of removing the energy, or he would if he was sure that would not blow him up. Whoever had examined him had done a number on him literally and as he went through his functions and a system check once more he found his weapons systems had all been disabled. As had his analytical abilities and adaptation.
His control over that mech had also been locked out. Okay, he definitely needed to kill this examiner when he got rid of whatever was inside of him that was blocking his magic. Vengeance would happen and be his later on in life, but it would not happen immediately. First there would be a lot that had to be done before he could do anything else.Later on indeed after he learned to get his systems back online and fix whatever this energy was, revenge would be obtained on the person who had tampered with him. Had he not specifically said not to tamper with him? Oh yes, there would be hell to pay on the part of both the Chancellor and the Examiner when he figured out how to fix everything they had done to him. The chancellor should have heeded his advice and NOT tampered with him.
"So tell me, who altered me to the point of where I have no access to any of my weapons, defensive capabilities or other combat related systems? Who is the one who examined me and more importantly where can I find him or her?"
There was no anger in the voice of Ares, but a steely calm that could terrify people if they knew the rage that was hidden behind the calm that Ares pretended to have at the moment. For you see the android was quite literally at the point of leveling the entire enemy fleet if he had his weapons systems online which was good for their sake as he did not. Find the idiot, torture him into turning him back to normal and removing the weapons locks. It shouldn't be too hard to do and once the strange energy was removed from him go after the Chancellor after murdering the person who had done this to him. Of course he quickly switched his thoughts so that if there was a device downloading them to some off site location which he thought there would be, his thoughts would not show up as memories.
Ares began to think of a new schematic, a way to improve his combat capability. Specifically he would be altering himself so that he perform better in different environments and so he began to think in his head and combine schematics of various technologies, and dub this tech the Mode system which would allow him a great deal more power than he previously had at his disposal. The mode system would be something he would have to invent later on of course.
