Mar. 12th, 2014 06:58 pmThe events that had happened between Detective Murphy and (Army) Officer Sears were remarkably similar to the point that Jack honestly wondered whether or not their careers had been planned to go this route all along. Rose had it easier though when it came to deciding whether or not to put Jack into the RoboCop program since they had an example to go on. The surgery had been a success for the most part. Unfortunately they were only able to salvage the upper part of his skull and spinal cord.
With how much of an impact Murphy had on the Police Force, they opted to try a new twist on the project: Jack would still be assigned as detective but his methods would be more like a secret agent. His body was faster, lighter, and much more quiet than Murphy's was, enabling him to be stealthy. He'd rely on bladed weapons as opposed to fire arms, making for silent kills if the situation called for it.
The awakening period had been... less than pleasant for the newly created cyborg. Shock, anger, denial - much like what Alex had gone through. There was also the problem of his humanity. Having been a child soldier, there were times where he considered himself a monster. The robotic body only egged that on.
Once he had come to terms with what he'd become (trying to look at it as a second chance at life. He had a wife and son he had to take care of, after all), he agreed to go through with the training. The skills he had learned during both his childhood and his time with Task Force XXI proved useful and he caught on quite quickly. When he had been deemed ready, Jack was given a file on Murphy and was told the two would work together to see how a Robo "spy" would do on the field. His codename would be "Raiden" - from the WWII fighter aircraft who's allied name was "Jack." How amusing.
Needless to say, Jack wasn't happy with the prospect of working with another person. And while he was a strong believer in justice he wasn't the most mentally stable of people, but he was more qualified than the other candidates for the project. He preferred being alone and keeping to himself. Partners had to be open with each other so they could be on the same level, right? Hopefully Alex wouldn't be too nosy about Jack's past once the detective was given his file. The last thing he needed was to snap while on the field... and with his new robotic body, he worried how much destruction he could cause.
Really having no other choice, Jack accepted the assignment and was taken to the Police Station, then shown to the Chief's office so the two could meet. As the blonde entered the room, his eyes immediately fixated themselves on to Murphy, studying him. While their were similarities in their features, it was obvious they went a different route with Jack.
After a few moments he held out a hand, deciding to break the ice with some small talk.
"So you're the famous RoboCop, huh?"
